Advantages: Erm, looks good Disadvantages: Ergonomics, battery life, tracking
I recently got the Labtec Wireless Optical Mouse Plus as a temporary replacemtn until I can get a proper mouse and have to say that it is probably one of the throw out products. By this, I mean that Labtec has made something without putting any effort into.
