This mouse has all the features I wanted -- after I downloaded and installed the optional Set Point software that allows horizontal scrolling on the middle button. This feature is not mentioned on the package, and the mouse works fine without the downloaded software. Just plug in the nano dongle, turn on the mouse, and go. The design is very simple -- classic three-button -- but the SetPoint software, which you can download from the Logitech site, allows you to assign special functions to the buttons (including the middle button's horizontal scrolling feature), and adjust sensitivity, mouse trails, etc.. The small size fits my medium-sized (woman's) hand perfectly, and it seems to track well on most household surfaces (wood grained desktop, kitchen table cloth, my pant leg, a chair arm, etc.) I was looking for something in an appealing color (why not?), but could only find it with the rather ugly designs that make me think of old heavy-metal album covers -- I chose the turquoise and black design which, upon close inspection, suggests a fantasy-lit theme (dragons rampant). The sides have a grippy rubber on them, making the mouse comfortable to hold.
What's great about it: Great price on sale ($24.99), easy to set up
