Summary: WARNING--The Buttons are Untrustworthy
Review: The Kensington mouse is sleek and elegant and best of all not too expensive which is what drew it to my attention however it has one problem that overshadows all of its buttons and sleek design, the buttons are untrustworthy. I say this meaning that when you click you can't count on it to click 100% of the time. When it does work (which is most of the time) you can't count on it to continually hold as it will occasionally just give up. This can be a serious problem when dragging files as the mouse will let go when you don't. I use the mouse for gaming where it has driven me insane for half a year. I can't take it anymore, I'm buying another mouse and I advise you to do the same.

Summary: Not bad for the price
Review: This is an excellent choice for an optical mouse. Of course, I wouldn't consider using a non-optical mouse any longer, and this one is well worth the cost, with programmable side buttons and a comfortable design. I use the default configuration for the side buttons, having the one on the right side being treated as a "double click" which I find very convenient.For the price, this mouse is an excellent value.

Summary: Good design, good software, wonderful service!
Review: This is the best computer peripheral I've ever purchased. One day God decided to remind me that I'm a psychology student and not a computer programmer, which he accomplished by interrupting my successful web design career with debilitating carpal tunnel syndrome. So I went out looking for an optical mouse (and braces, and an ergo keyboard, and a better chair, and a big big bottle of ibuprofen). Thus I came upon the Kensington MIAB Optical Pro. Now look -- I can even waste keystrokes typing silly reviews on Amazon [.com]! With four buttons plus a clickable scroll wheel, this mouse offers a great many opportunities to reduce wrist-flinging. It comes with customization software that allows you to define different click-equivalents for different programs. It's not perfect, but it's made my work much slicker and more pleasant. The best part came when the mouse broke. The Kensington tech actually _listened_ to my report of the problem and the hardware-testing I'd done to diagnose it. He immediately shipped me a replacement, even before asking that I send back the damaged mouse. This kind of service is even more valuable to me than the product itself.

Summary: The mouse has button problems
Review: When my Apple Pro mouse bit the dust, I needed a new mouse and turned to MacWorld for recommendations. This mouse was among the most highly rated, and having bought it, I have to agree. The cost is very reasonable, I like the feel of it, and the Mouseworks software is great. It's not quite as pretty as the Apple Pro, but it's half the price and provides about ten times the options. It's a trade-off I think I can live with. The one thing holding me back from giving this product a higher rating was the omission of the Mac version of Mouseworks on the bundled CD. I was able to download it easily from the Kensington web site, but it seems a rather silly mistake on the manufacturer's part. Also, I used the feature that lets you buy the product online, then pick it up at a local Circuit City store. The process worked very smoothly - I'll be doing it again.
