The second Kensington mouse

Advantages: Cool name (Mouse in a box \m/)
Disadvantages: Not as good as the ValuMouse, no scroll wheel

...So I sit at like the fourth PC I've been on over the past few days in my uni library, and come across yet a different mouse, this one again by Kensington. The same Kensington that have arguable made the greatest budget mouse of all time in the ValuMouse, but does "The mouse in the box" rival it's brother in arms. The look similar, both white, mouse shaped, 2 buttons, kensington written across above the buttons, but thats where the looks end. Well the first difference between the two it that this mouse is longer by about an inch and it's less "fat", so I'm guessing it was a basketball playing mouse before it retired to the desk job it now serves. This may seem trivial but it really doesn't fit the hand anywhere near as well as the Valumouse. The second difference design wise is both buttons have grooves on them but they don't feel...

Review of Kensington Mouse-in-a-Box PC - mouse

Kensington ValuMouse

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Seems to wear out easily, can feel ungainly

...The Kensington value mouse comes in two different varieties. One with a scroll wheel and one without. This review concerns the model with a scroll wheel. This mouse can be found in most computer shops, supermarkets and stationers. It is toward the cheaper end of the range and can usually be picked up for anything between £5-£7.99. The mouse comes with a instruction booklet which is printed in various different languages and a floppy disk which contains all the drivers that are required to run the product. The mouse is suitable for all computers with or without USB ports as a handy adapter is included in the pack. The mouse can at first feel unwieldy and the scroll wheel can be incredibly stiff until you have used it for a couple of weeks. One you get used to the slightly bulbous fell of the mouse it is actually quite...

kensington track ball mouse

Advantages: just so easy to uise
Disadvantages: take a litle getting used to

...I have been using a track ball mouse for a number of years now i think it must be at least five.Find it very easy to use for working on my projects hobby restoration of old photos. For this type of work you need a good deal of control if you are to make a decent job restoring the photos, using photoshop i blow my image up to very large size then work at 1 or 2 pixels to get the effect that i am looking for with out the control of this track ball i would find it almost imposible to do the work, i know there are pen pads around i have one but cannot get on with it. Doing my other computer work is so easy just a little bit of finger movement will put the mouse where i need it. i also play games with it not the all singing danceing games that need a control pad of there own but the games that came with the laptop, again great...

Review of Kensington Orbit Optical Trackball - trackball

cool retro mouse

Advantages: good range
Disadvantages: a little big for a laptop

...Kensington Ci70LE Wireless Mouse In terms of design the mouse and its colours and pattern feature on top of it make it look very cool, however it appears to be an odd shape and a little bit big. Perhaps if you have huge hands then this might just be the perfect mouse for you but I myself prefer smaller more compact mouse's as opposed to big clumsy ones. It is however quite a nice red colour which is a colour you don't really see much in mouse's so if you have a laptop that is partially this colour or a pc that's this colour then perhaps this would suit it. The receiver is also in this red colour too which is nice to see as it matches quite well. I'm not sure it's a colour I like that much however it does make a change to the boring silver or black mouse and it does funk up your desktop a little. The wireless signal can reach...

My mouse is floating on blue gel

Advantages: Comfortable and looks nice?
Disadvantages: ? but it's somewhat expensive for a mouse pad

...Kensington Duo Gel Mouse Wristrest Wave Black and Blue I'm glad they included the picture of the mouse pad I bought with the same blue and black colours, for this product is also available in purple and green colours. But, I think that the purple and green one is not available from Amazon; only from other sellers on Amazon. Anyway, I use my laptop for a long time, but I never thought of buying a mouse pad because I used to think it's a clumsy thing. Recently, I started to notice the mark that the desk leaves on my wrist from using the mouse for a long time, and I thought of buying something more comfortable. I found Kensington Duo Gel Mouse Wristrest on Amazon and I thought it looks nice, although I was a little hesitant when I saw the price. I bought it from Amazon although it costs £10.35, rather than buying it from other...

Valueable mouse

Advantages: Cheap, Simple, Reliable
Disadvantages: Bog standard, Not advanced, No SCROLL WHEEL :'(

...So I'm still in the library reviewing things and saw the mouse, and thought why not? So it's a simple, plain, white mouse with the word "KENSINGTON" in green writing on it. Unlike some mice it is perfectly symetrical which gives it a more ergonomic feel and fits better into your hand. The buttons theres only two here (none on that middle button malarkey I tells ya) and no wheel either (no thats better than a middle button and really lacking from the Kensington ValuMouse in my opinion). The mouse is a wired mouse (which may also explain it's budget price) and seems a really good one, it feels like a mouse should, and I'm not talking budget mice feel. Responsiveness is brilliant and the ease of control is up there with the premium wireless mouses. It just feels so good to use it's unbelievable that you can pick these up...

Review of Kensington ValuMouse mouse

funky retro mouse

Advantages: looks cool
Disadvantages: could have better range

.... In terms of design the mouse and its colours and pattern feature on top of it make it look very cool, however it appears to be an odd shape a look quite long. It is however quite an improvement in there older bigger model and this one is designed specifically for notebooks and for portability, it is still a weird shape however its now a lot smaller, a lot lighter and just a lot nicer to use from my point of view. It is quite a funky colour too, its lime green and white colour scheme stand out making the mouse look retro but also really modern at the same time. If you have a green dell then this is pretty much the exact same colour as that and it would really go with the laptop, in fact I think If I had a dell I would definitely get one of these. The wireless signal can reach a quite normal 1.5 meters which is more...

Review of Kensington Ci85m QuickStart Wireless Notebook Mouse - mouse

Mouse companion

Advantages: comfortable, cheap
Disadvantages: May take up slightly more room on your desk

...We actually have these mouse pads at work, since a lot of work is done on the computer making sure that the pressure is taken off your hand and wrist is very important. The Kensington Duo gel mouse pad ensures that when using the mouse you have a comfortable pad to rest your wrist on to minimise aching and wrist pain that can occur from long hours sat at the computer. The Duo pad distributes wrist pressure throughout the super soft gel for more comfortable use of the mouse. With the natural ventilation between the moulds you ensure that hands keep cool and dry. It has a non-slip base, which keeps the pad in place on your desk or work surface. The pad itself has a non-reflective mousing surface for optimum mouse performance without sticking and making the mouse harder to move around. The purple and green colours look great...

Great mouse but over sensitive

Advantages: Great design & scroll wheel
Disadvantages: Way over sensitive

...This mouse is wireless but can be connected via wires if, for example, your batteries have died - the top and bottom casing of the mouse are magnetically stuck together so its easy to take the top part of (a simple pull is all needed) and slot back in. It's difficult to explain but inside the mouse where you can take the top cover of is where the batteries lie, as well as the wire that you can connect to the wireless dongle if you want to go wired. For me the mouse is way too over sensitive - I had to adjust my mouse speed right to the left in order to make it even usable - and its because tracking precision is enabled in mouse preferences. My previous optical mouse had its mouse speed settings in the middle, I plugged in the USB dongle (its Plug and Play) for the Kensginton mouse and just a small movement would make it skip to half...

ValuMouse 2 - Revenge of the Scroll Wheel!!

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, scroll wheel
Disadvantages: A bit clunky in use

...Recently I reviewed the Kensington ValuMouse and bemoaned the fact that it was missing a scroll wheel. Well now I?ve come across a Kensington ValuMouse that has a scroll wheel, hence this new review! This Kensington ValuMouse is priced around £10 so represents good value for money. The mouse comes with an instruction manual and a floppy disk which contain drivers to run the scroll wheel in Windows ?95. Specs As per the standard ValuMouse, this mouse is controlled by a ball mechanism. It has two buttons, left and right, but unlike the standard ValuMouse, sitting in the middle of the two buttons is a scroll wheel. This is obviously a handy addition! The mouse has a reasonably long cord attached to it, as with the standard ValuMouse. However, what is different about the cord on this mouse is that it features an adapter to...
