What's great about it: Easy to use, long cord
I have been using this Kensington mouse for a couple of weeks and no complaints yet. It's a great product for the price, shipping was extremely fast. Very easy to use, responsive and reliable. It has long cord so I can use it over a fairly long distance.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a excellent, general purpose mouse. BestBuy's price was competitive with anything on the web. Delivery time was little slow but the price more than made up for that.

What's great about it: price, everything
Functions well, no complaints, no problems. Good cursor control, clicking, scrolling, long enough cord. The only thing I would ask more of in a mouse is quieter clicking. This one is about average.

What's great about it: Costs much less than others
What's not so great: Available online only
I had been having problems with my previous mouse, or at least what I now know was my mouse and not my computer. I needed a way to find this out, and all mice online and in-store were over $30. This was more than I was willing to pay just to find out whether the problem I was experiencing was the desktop or the age of the mouse. It turns out it was the mouse, but this baby kept my costs down and is a fantastic and easy to use accessory. Worked right out of the box, have been using for a couple weeks now and no complaints!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Right Price for the Right Product
I bought this one for a computer in a preschooler classroom. I purchased one with the cord so it would be less likely to get lost. The children love our upgrade to this new mouse.

What's great about it: Great price and easy to set up and use.
What's not so great: Wish the cord was longer.
Thank goodness I found this mouse, my optical one was acting
possessed so I bought a new one from Ross, cheap and a pain,
but had to make it work. This one worked like a charm, it wouldn't
work plugged in the back so I had to put it in the front and move the
computer tower in order for cord to be long enough, but other wise
I am very please with this purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can't be any easier, just plug and play. It's heavier than my last optical mouse which is nice. Feels sturdy. Works perfectly. If I had to find a complaint, it would be that the clicking sounds a little louder than my last mouse. But it's really no big deal.

What's great about it: everything!
What's not so great: nothing so far
This was a gift for my tech-challenged dad, whose traditional mouse stopped working. Not only does he think the laser concept is cool, but he has had much less frustration with his computer. I highly recommend as a low cost gift that will make computer surfing more enjoyable for all ages.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Inexpensive, Fits Hand, Installs Easily, No Plastic Packaging
There is nothing spectacular about this mouse, but if you are looking for a solid mouse under $10 this is a good choice. I had to replace my parent's mouse which had buttons that were very difficult to press and a scroll wheel that was a challenge to roll. This Kensington is much better.
First off, it is lightweight so if you prefer a mouse with some bulk this may not be for you. For people who simply want a mouse that works to browse the internet and look at pictures, this mouse is perfect. It does fit the hand very nicely and the buttons are very easy to click, but firm enough so you won't accidentally click them. The scroll wheel scrolls with ease and is textured for a good grip you can feel. No, I wouldn't want to use this for gaming or intense work, but for general computer use it is just right and at the right price.
I installed this on 2 separate machines, a laptop with Windows 7 and a desktop with Vista. For both, the drivers were located and the entire installation process was complete in under 20 seconds. The mouse also has a nice long usb cord for an extended reach.
Overall, this Kensington mouse has no issues and is a product I can highly recommend, especially given the low price. It also comes in a simple box, so no plastic packaging to deal with!
I would recommend this to a friend!
