...I got my wireless mouse last year as a christmas gift,
It came complete with mouse, receiver, batteries and C.D. software.
Installing the software is simple and takes just a matter of minutes, the C.D. guides you step by step and is so easy you cant go wrong.
Set up was very easy....the reciever has a 1 metre cable which plugs into the USB port,
the reciever itself is slightly smaller than the mouse and is placed on your desktop.
The mouse takes 2 AA batteries and fits nicely into the palm of your hand and has 3 button control........left click ,right click and middle click for manual or automatic scrolling.
Being wireless this free's your desktop from the clutter of cords, enabling you to move the mouse more freely without being restricted.
The mouse works accurately and reliably 1 metre away from the receiver...

Advantages: Solid, responsive, comfortable, great looks, unique cable storage, three year warranty Disadvantages: Mouse software must be downloaded, comes in an annoying impenetrable blister pack.
...main gripe (and I’m probably alone in this) is that you need to download software to fully get the most out of the mouse instead of it being supplied on a CD. (I have the same gripe with games that have the manual on the CD), but this is a minor issue which can be overlooked.

It also works fine with my version of Linux ( Mandriva 2005).
It is a very comfortable mouse to use. It has the usual left/right buttons and scroll wheel (which scrolls left/right/up/down, zooms in and out, and acts as a middle button). It also has a button centrally placed on top so for example you can switch between 2 open Word documents. It has a further 2 thumb buttons on the left which give back/forward on the web.
I would guess left-handed folk might not like it, although you don't have to use your thumb for the side buttons and it might be fine.
As always it is best to shop around. Ebuyer.com is always a good place to look, as is Ebay or any other online retailer. Expect to pay around £40 including postage. PC World (online) is also a good place to look. Their online...
