Compact, comfortable mouse for medium to small hands

I ll start off by saying this is my first wireless mouse in many years - I tried them back when battery life was pretty poor and range was rather short. I went looking for one after feeling annoyed by cables getting tangled and attacked by my cats while using my laptop. A quick list of pros & cons is the best way to get my thoughts across so here we go:
Pros:
- nice range of colors although the color only applies to the top of the mouse
- quick plug & play capability: the first time I popped the receiver in my laptop s USB port the mouse worked right away running Vista Home Premium
- good size for my hands: I m a girl, so my hands are medium-to-small I d say. My husband thought the mouse would be too small for him, definitely.
- minimum of buttons: just left & right and a scroll wheel. That s all I need personally, but if you want a back/forward set, look elsewhere.
- great battery life: I ve had this mouse for a couple months now and I m still on the first AA battery. Being able to snap the receiver onto the back to stop the mouse from draining whilst not in use helps immensely I m sure.

Cons:
- occasional wonky reception: I can t say I ve figured out why or how this happens, but sometimes the receiver s LED blinks and the response of the mouse is either erratic or zero. Eventually it sorts itself out, but I can t quite pin this down to line-of-sight or battery issues or something yet discovered...
- limited range: don t try using this as a pointer from across the room because it's not likely to respond. I d say maybe 5 feet tops, maybe a bit more.
- receiver sticks out a fair bit from the port, which makes it awkward to have on your lap and makes you worry it s going to snap off at any moment. I hadn t really considered this fact while looking for a mouse, and next time I think I will look for one with a smaller receiver.

Because of these cons, I give the mouse 4 out of 5 stars - a rather functional simple mouse for a decent price :

A very good mouse for a reasonable price

What can you expect from a mouse...? Well, this one will give you that.

Only drawback for me is it size, small for my hand. Accustomed to the MSFT IntelliMouse optical, this one looks better suited for my wife's or for my 4 yo daughter's hands. However, working w/o cables is heaven when you use your laptop and have some space in a desk.

Very Happy

This little Mouse is wonderful and fixed all my problems with trying to use a lap top computer. It is so easy to use and as cute as a House Mouse!

Greatest Wireless mouse

I bought my laptop from Best Buy and bought a Dynex wireless mouse with it. Well, after using it for a month, that mouse broke down and I had to return it to the store. Best Buy was great about it, but I couldn't just return it (it was an online order, so I didn't get an actual reciept) so I exchanged it. It cost an extra $10 (for $30, but no shipping costs) at the store, but I did want a new one anyways.
The thing I like about this compared to the previous version is the USB adapter. The older one had an "L" shaped adapter that rotated at the joint. One thing that didn't change that I'm not fond of is the on/off trigger (it's not really a switch) that turns on while the adapter is released and off when replaced. My old mouse had a regular on/off switch as well as the trigger, but with my old one, I could get 2 weeks max on a set of 2 AAA batteries, while this one has GREAT life off of one AA battery.
Another thing is the size compared to my old one. I kind of got used to the size of that one (it was a little smaller), while this one is a different feel, especially for the right side rubs a bit on your ring finger (since it was made to be ambidexterous), but you get used to it after a while.

This handy optical mouse features a tiny snap-in receiver that plugs into your notebook when you're ready to work, and snaps into your mouse when you're ready to roll. And extended battery life lets you enjoy wireless freedom even longer.
