What is it? The A4Tech batteryFREE Wireless Optical Mouse is a wireless mouse that runs on a board. This board interacts with a computer via its wire. The board is optical and when the mouse is placed on it, they connect optically, allowing the mouse to work. Looks: The mouse and board look average, and are nothing spectacular. The board is silvery greay, with a black base and thick edge at the top. The logo 'A4TECH' is on the head of the board, ...
...wire is thin and black. The mouse itself is mainly black, with a transparent silver band running in a U shape around its edge. On top of the mouse there is a line of this same trasnparent silver plastic, where the gap between your index and middle finger lies.

...year, I purchased my first Apple computer. Deciding to go for the iMac, an all-in-one desktop computer. From their website, Apple include either the wired or wireless Mighty Mouse with the purchase, the Wireless option being a £13.99 upgrade option, but no option to get the computer without the mouse. Because I have so many computer mice lying around, I was torn between selling the default (wired) Mighty Mouse when the computer arrived, or upgrading ...
...X). Being my first Apple computer, I had to learn to use one click instead of two. At first I failed at this terribly, by holding down control and then clicking on something will do the same thing as right click will on a normal mouse, so if you regularly need to use the "right click" menu, then it can be quite awkward remembering that you need to operate mouse and keyboard at the same time. As a result of this, I found myself having to learn a ... Read review

The box which is used for the packaging of the mouse too looks nice and attractive. It has a facility to hang it on the wall if you want to save your space at your godown or small store room.

Advantages: Scrolls up down left and right, side buttons
Disadvantages: You can accidentally press the side buttons

I really like this mouse, although it feels quite large if your going from a laptop mouse to this. I love the side buttons, they are great for going back a page on the internet and its something I have found very helpful even though it can be pressed accidentally. The right hand side button magnifys the pages in a some square I fins this useful when I'm lying ing bed watching a DVD as it means I can skip forward a chapter much easier as I can see ...
...scroll wheel is good, although sometimes it does scoll to far (but that may be my settings, I don't know). Also with this scroll wheel the user is able to scroll from left to right, this is useful if the user is using Exel or a spreadsheet program to move from left to right, other than that I rarely use it unless a website has a left right scroll bar. There was a notice came up that batteries were needing replaced sometime ago, although I never ... Read review

A4Tech is know for their budget performance gadgetry. Some products can surprise you and others can blow your mind. This mouse is apart of the "others" I must mention, that I own the BF of this mouse. Its basically the same, but has different "skin". Now, of the mouse itself. As it is a gamer mouse, it has a wire. And that wire is thin, so watch out for yanking it. But the mouse works. And amazingly well. Just take it out of the box and hook ...
...feature is the driver. Called A4Tech Smart-X7 7.80, it provides the functions mentioned above. The others are manuals, troubleshooters and a mouse testing program. It is very helpful, if you cycle through many mice. After the first 5 minutes playing CS, I experienced a huge advantage. X7 mice are equipped with very low friction sliders, so it really skid across the table. I thought the mouse was moving on air. The stepping sensitivity interface ... Read review
