IOGear Wireless Bluetooth Mini Mouse

With its 66-foot range, the IOGear Wireless Bluetooth Mini Mouse is a good choice for people who use their notebooks for presentations. There's often a noticeable lag, however, between when you move the mouse and when the cursor on the screen moves,...

Works wirelessly via Bluetooth. Comes with two rechargeable triple-A batteries that power up with the included USB cable. Has an 800-dpi optic sensor and a 66-foot range. Comes with a hard, protective carrying case. Has an on/off switch to preserve...

Doesn't come with a Bluetooth dongle. Often a noticeable lag between mouse movement and cursor movement. Extra-slender design isn't comfortable to hold. No way to tell when batteries are running low, which can cause sluggish performance

Review: IOGEAR Bluetooth Mini Mouse

Portable, protected, and almost perfect

Solid, built well, and useful on the road

Needs more customized software so the third button can be programmed

Laptop users have long endured less then perfect computer input solutions while they are on the road. People tend to use the built-in trackpads, but they don't feel as natural as they should, especially for prolonged use. USB mice are a good solution

This is a GREAT bluetooth mouse!

If the batteries die, plugging in the USB charger does not immediately provide power. What I have done is bought some extra AAA rechargeable batteries and charger so I always have some fresh ones on hand, and it works great!

This mouse is great. Before I bought it I read all these reviewers who said that it was too small, but that is completely wrong. It's small, but perfect for a portable mouse to use with a laptop. The wheel works great, batteries last a good length of...

Good Mouse, poor charger.

Like the other reviewers, I was about to give up on this mouse due to the frequent disconnects, and poor battery life. I charged the batteries in an external charger and WOW that made a huge difference. Life went from a day to a week, and I never loose...

Small ; Lightweight ; good connectivity ; includes charger

Batteries die in charger, use external ; Feels flimsy

Pretty good, but what's with the batteries

The ergonomics are ok for me, it's usually responsive and not laggy with my Sony laptop, and doesn't lose the connection.

Lately it stops working intermittently: it seems like a power thing, like it's not taking a charge.

Nice, but not great

Small size is perfect without being too small.

Batteries do die pretty quickly compared to larger AA-powered wireless mice, but it's a tradeoff for size so I don't mind.

Nice, but not great

I do mind that it doesn't run off USB power and can't seem to charge batteries faster than they're drained. So if the batteries die you have to let them charge for quite a while before you're able to use it again because the minute you start using it...

Small size is perfect without being too small. I was afraid it would be too small since I have big hands but it's pretty comfortable and disappears into my laptop bag. USB charging is nice. Very durable, I've dropped it, carried it around loose in a...

Batteries do die pretty quickly compared to larger AA-powered wireless mice, but it's a tradeoff for size so I don't mind. Does take a few seconds to wake up, minor annoyance. The lag can get bad sometimes, it seems very susceptible to interference...
