Targus Mini Optical Retractable Mouse Mouse

Advantages: Super small & compact
Disadvantages: Cheaper "clones" are available

I bought this Targus Mini Optical Retractable Mouse Mouse as I was sick of fiddling about with my laptop's trackpad and/or "nipple" mouse button when trying to demo software at work, and wanted to avoid a) unplugging my mouse from the docking station, and b) filling up my bag any more than necessary... It's really small (5.0 x 1.6 x 8.3 inches, weight: 3.2 ounces) so takes up almost no space in my bag, and although it's great on a full size table/desk, it's just as easy to use in a small work space or even on a small airplane tray. The Mini Optical Mouse is "only" USB 1.1, but that allows "plug and play" connection with USB sockets on Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and Macintosh OS, I believe. Just plug it in, wait a moment while Windows does its "Found New Hardware" stuff, and you're off ! No drivers to install or anything ...

Review of Targus Optical Super Mini Retractable Mouse mouse

Targus Chargable Wireless Laser mouse

Advantages: Laser precision, max grip and rechargiability
Disadvantages: Batterylife, no on-off switch, syncing to the receiver

So, i bought the Targus AWM14EU mouse about 2 weeks ago. My experience has been good, though the "user interface" is a bit off. The sensitivity is good and I like big mice due to the grip. Also, the main buttons work fine and accurate. But, the scrollwheel is a bit loose and so are the browsing buttons under near your thumb. On the user manual, it states that you should charge the batteries for at least 8 hour for best performance. Do so, because, I charged it for 6 hours and ended up with 2 weeks of battery life. Also, it should have an on-off switch for transportation. And it looses contact to the computer, when you acciadently smash it. But smash it again and it will work , and it lags when you move it. Use at your own desire ...

Review of Targus Laser Wireless Desktop Mouse - mouse

A mouse for notebooks without wires!

Advantages: No wires, automatic swtiching on and off, storage clip for USB stick
Disadvantages: None

For laptop and notebook users, using a built-in touchpad can be quite a frustrating experience. Especially when the sensitivity of the pad causes you to unwillingly click on dodgy adverts or make mistakes. It is for this reason that I decided to buy myself a mouse for my notebook. I chose the Logitech V220 cordless optical mouse, which I am more than happy with. The mouse requires just one AA battery and has a small USB stick which plugs into the computer and sends a wireless signal to the mouse itself. The USB stick looks similar to that of flash memory. A great little feature of this mouse is that the USB stick slots onto the bottom of the mouse when you're not using it. Not only that, but sliding the stick into the clip on the bottom of the mouse automatically causes the mouse to switch off. When removing the stick from ...
