Summary: Ok for 1/2 the price...
Review: The Kensington Pocketmouse Pro Wireless is a nice standard size mouse. Feels heavy with the battery, and has the cool feature of storing the usb transceiver so you don't have to worry about losing it. Only complaint is that the either the optics or the wireless circuits suck. It tracks like a dirty ball mouse, but maybe I'm just spoiled from the mx500 I use on my desktop....... I would expect better mouse performance from a $... mouse. Seems more like the type in the $... bin, which is where they should put it and come out with a better design.

Summary: poor quality
Review: The mouse and especially the USB adapter are cheaply made. The USB adapter is made of very thin glued plastic that came apart putting it into the mouse and closing the door. Getting the mouse apart to insert the batteries was not simple, the latch was not easy to open and then get the top of the mouse off. Overall the quality of workmanship was not very good.

Summary: A rank amateur product
Review: The mouse appeared to work just fine right out of the box on my Dell Lattitude 800 notebook with XP pro. The accelleration was too high so I downloaded the mouseworks latest version on 12/25/03.
The kensington software then completely removed the laptop Alps pad and the pointing stick. No recovery is possible. The wireless mouse does NOT behave as a USB device!. It is no longer even recognized as such. It can not be removed as a normal usb device should. I wouldn't recommend this product to Saadam. Buy anything but this mouse. Microsoft and Logitech products work just fine.

Summary: Don't use on Dell Inspiron 8500
Review: The mouse works fine but I give it a 1 star because of the incompatability with the MouseWorks software with the Dell Inspirion 8500. The Dell Inspiron 8500 has a built in track pad and pointing stick which is configurable from the mouse control panel.After you install MouseWorks, all configuration options in the mouse contol panel gets replaced by the MouseWorks software. As a result, the track pad or pointing stick configuration options gets removed. The track pad and pointing stick still works but there is no way to configure it. Luckily, Windows XP has system restore so I manage to restore everything back the way it was. Too bad Kensington did not create the Pocketmouse Pro Wireless without the requirement to install the MouseWorks software like there PocketMouse Pro with the retractable cord. Otherwise, it would be a great mouse.

Summary: Very satisfied
Review: There were two reviews submitted when I bought this mouse, one very positive and the other negative. I took a chance and bought it because I needed a wireless mouse and Costco had it for a good price, and it was bundled with a Kensington USB portable hub. The mouse works beautifully. There have been comments about the size - I think it's perfect; any smaller and it would not be comfortable. The only thing that would make it better would be an off switch so I wouldn't have to remove the USB receiver to save battery life.

Summary: Quite convenient
Review: This little mouse was adequate for my needs when I purchased a laptop for the first time this summer. I was not familiar with a touchpad, and wanted to be able to keep a mouse handy. It was nice for a while, but the batteries ran out very quickly, and it was heavier than I wanted to lug around. It did encourage me to get used to my touchpad, which has benefited me greatly! It's a nice product, but just not quite what I need.

Summary: Not bad...
Review: This mouse is a great idea, and works very well for me so far. In fact, I will have to disagree with the reviewer who said it won't work on low contrast surfaces, mine works great, better than my Apple mouse. And it storing its reciever is a nice feature. And it matches the Apple Powerbook very nicely (all silver and all). But I will agree with the reviewers who said that it is a little big. I wouldn't call this a "pocket mouse" as they do. Also it does seem a little flimsy. Let's hope it holds together.

Summary: Kensington Pocketmouse Pro Wireless
Review: this was a good buy...kind of. until i installed the software from the kensington site, the mouse could only click. also, the mouse feels flimsy...nothing like my old logitech wireless...the optical keeps screwing up, because the mouse, if i am moving it up the screen, will suddenly go the opposite direction...really annoying while playing fps games on my presario x1000...like you are sniping some guy and the mouse flips out...so this is good for a business, awful for gaming

Summary: poor
Review: very very poor optical mouse, at least on Macs. cursor jerks around, stops occasionally. acceleration is set ridiculously fast. the recess for the USB key is a nice feature, but the mouse itself just doesn't work that well. i returned it and got a Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse For Notebooks, it works perfectly, and tracks many, many times better; feels like a wired mouse. i really like it. didn't even need to install drivers, worked fine out of the box.

Summary: Works, but so-so quality and poor support
Review: Worked right after I plugged into my XP laptop. Glad didn't have to install no driver. But quality is not as good as Logitech or Microsoft products, and customer service is poor... would not answer PC questions! So if you have a Macintosh and hate Apple's sissy mice, this might be for you. Windows users (that's 99% of us) better stay away.
