Laptop Mini Slim 2.4G USB Wireless Optical Mouse MiceSold by: sowellwire£2.00 P+P 0.00Staggering for the price really. So it no wonder there are 214 positive reviews to 54 negative ones. Plus mine as well. That's about 80% satisfaction.Some of the reasons why are that it is a simple but pleasing style. IT fits the hand nicely (at least my hand anyway) and is slim. by this I mean flatter than most. If you measure the height of it it's only 23 mm (at it's highest point). This is important to me because my transformer (part laptop part tablet) get carried around in a dinky little case and I don't want to be cramming bulk in to it. The profile of this mouse such that it works well but is not too bulky to be portable.So it's stylish, comfortable to use, portable and great value for money and the company is polite and professional and will answer questions.ACID TEST: would I buy again/recommend? YES

This is a brilliant little mouse. I am frequently astounded at how much some things cost these days but I'm blown away with what £2.83 can buy you. It is worth you spending a 5 or 10 mins checking things out rather than going with the first thing that pops up. This is a really good mouse. it is soft touch rubberised top. Very comfortable to use and has a space to store the nano usb sender in the base when not in use. (dont leave it plugged in to a laptop. Thats why I've bought this mouse - my last one got knocked while in the laptop and broke, almost ruining the usb socket). My only slight niggle was that there was no instructions with it but hey, itsa mouse. Plug the bit in, let it load the drivers etc and away you go. However, the unit goes to sleep after a period of inactivity which I did not realise and thought it was losing connectivity. At first I was having to switch off and switch back on using the main switch on the underside. However, I have since discovered that you can switch back into action by pressing the scroll wheel down. Overall a brill bit of kit.

I certainly can't complain for the price. This is a very cheap bit of kit, great for carrying round in the laptop bag. It works reasonably well. The only bad point seems to be that the mouse does not work on my desk, I need to have a mouse mat or bit of paper underneath the mouse for it to pick up the optical signal - I guess you get what you pay for. As one other reviewer said, it comes with no instructions but for the most part it is pretty simple - the only thing I can't work out is what the 'OPI' button does. If you want a very cheap mouse, this is worth a look.

Took 4 weeks to arrive - this isn't the one for you if you need it in a hurry.I purchased this one as I believed it to be the same as the one I presently own, which has provided excellent service but is starting to show obvious signs of wear and tear after 2 years of use, and took time to check with details and pictures provided to find as close a match as possible.Unfortunately the pictures provided for the item did not match the design of the one received. Item supplied uses 2 x AAA batteries, which for most wouldn't be a problem but as I use rechargeable AA batteries means either added expense of buying a charger and batteries or having spares on hand.This item also doesn't 'glide' smoothly across surfaces as easily as my previous one, so isn't really suitable for use when I'm re-touching photographs etc. due to it's 'sticky' jerky movement. I have already relegated it to the 'just in case I need a spare'. department.The rolling wheel is however easier to use due to its ridged surface.Apart from the above I haven't noticed any navigation or connection problems and it appears to be made from the same materials as my previous one, with good build quality.As a general use mouse this is a light and comfortable fit for the hand, and for the price really can't be beaten.See my pic's for the actual item supplied compared with images provided by the retailer, and for general wear and tear that can be expected after a couple of years of use.

Whats not to like. Use it every day over the last month and no issues what so ever.

Received this ahead of the posted delivery date, and it worked as a plug and play item immediately with my Windows 8.1 laptop, apart from a problem with altering the CPI speed, which did not seem to change. However, the CPI button has to be pressed with quite a bit of force, until you hear it click on to the next setting. The speed can be checked as follows. Place the cursor on the left hand side of the computer screen with the mouse on the left hand edge of a mouse mat. Move the mouse horizontally until the cursor reaches the right hand side of the computer screen, and then mark the horizontal distance that the mouse has moved. Now click the CPI button and carry out the above procedure again. You will see that the mouse has now moved a different distance to the last time if the CPI has clicked properly. Carry out this procedure until you have the desired mouse speed.Good mousing.

DO NOT buy this mouse. Spend £3 more and get the other £10 mouse that’s also available on Amazon. I had the £10 one and it was responsive, smart (switches on off intelligently), works on pretty much any surface and feels good in your hand. Sadly the USB receiver snagged on my laptop case and broke. So I thought I’d try this model and it is absolutely rubbish. I’d give it ½ a star if I could. It switches off if you don’t use it for a few minutes and turning it back on involves moving it around frantically, clicking the button or just picking it up and moving your finger over the sensor to wake it up. It’s a bit erratic on some surfaces (which other mouse have no problems working with). The most annoying “feature” is that it switches off far too frequently. Please avoid. The only nice thing I can say about it is that it’s very thin and is made of pretty decent materials.

Worked really well for a week, then the accuracy was difficult. Changed the batteries, twice and eventually stopped using. The item itself is slim, and comfortable to use.
