What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: It doesn't work or stay connected.
Possibly the most worthless electronic device I've ever purchased. First one would not stay connected, microsoft sent a replacement...exactly the same. Constantly have to uninstall and reinstall the device to get it to work even part time. You would be better off throwing your money in your kitchen trash than buying this item because you at least saved yourself the drive to the store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Design
What's not so great: Reliability
Mouse is a little small so it took time transitioning from the average size mouse but is nice for traveling. Overall I think its a pretty good product for the price except almost once a day it will just stop communicating to my computer and I have to switch the mouse on and off to get it to connect again. Not a huge deal but still something to consider.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: More responsive than some USB mice.
What's not so great: Awkward fit in laptop case (bulgey)
The mouse that I use for my notebook PC went out catastrophically and I hadn't had it very long at all (it was a cheap one,and I didn't want to take a chance of replacing it with the same kind). I can't stand using the touch pad devices on laptops, but like most college students having a shortage of funds is a run-of-the-mill occurrence. This mouse was inexpensive, shipped quickly, was easy to set up, and has excellent response. If there was anything that I am at all disappointed with, it would be its size. It is standard size for a desktop PC, but it doesn't fit so well in my laptop cover. There were no others that were smaller anyway. The only other thing that is annoying is that my PC doesn't turn off the touch pad automatically like it did with the USB mouse(that is probably just a setting issue internal to the notebook, though). BTW you will need your own BT adapter, the mouse didn't come with one.
I would recommend this to a friend!
