works

This thing works and is a good value, I suppose. Don't get it for gaming or something important. For general use it's fine. I use it for my laptop. I don't like to use the touch pad if I have to be on there for an extended time.

small inexpensive works lightweight

shuts off intermittently - I'm sure to save battery power although sometimes when I'm using it and sometimes you need to cycle the power to get it to reconnect. feels cheap

Not the worst

Standard mouse drivers work. 3rd party mouse software (freely available online) works as a button re-mapper (Windows, haven't found one that works right for Linux yet). Although I have a name-brand $30 (retail) 3 button mouse, I still choose to use...

It works, it has a lot of range. Small and comfortable. I got it on sale, for less than a third of the price of a name-brand, cordless optical 3 button mouse.

No drivers, no info, no button remapping software. These problems are all easily overcome (see Other thoughts). No 'tilt wheel' on the scroll wheel, but after reading all the comments (before purchase), I knew it wasn't going to be. It's a 5 button...

Works

I picked this up because the computer that's using it has an already cluttered work area. Wires were not welcome. This mouse has been working well, though like other reviewers have pointed out, it doesn't actually have wheel tilt which is a bummer....

Responsive, has side buttons, has a dpi switch, fits well in my hand

No tilt wheel, small power switch (not a problem, it hibernates without usage anyway), wakes up by clicking the mouse rather than moving, feels a bit cheap but that was expected

Junk, the mouse goes to sleep after 5 seconds of non use. have to click the mouse to wake back up, doesn't always wake up on first click sometimes have to turn mouse off and on again. Then if your cursor was over a link or a tab you click to wake the...

most worked well

I tried one mouse with 6 buttons that felt fantastic because it was scalloped inwards where the thumb rests and it was very natural to raise the thumb up to select the forward and back buttons. (Others that I tested it with also had my same...

nice 6 button capabilities; very useful for browsing back and forth in Internet and switching between windows in Outlook

I ordered 11 because I was familiar with the design but only 9 worked as they should have. But the return costs were not worth returning so I just threw away ; Also, the back and forth buttons are not as intuitive as I would have expected. the forward...
