Summary: Minimouse to save the day¿
Review: Targus, well known for the variety of cases that tote a good percentage of the laptop and notebook computers around the world, have addressed another of the travelers' needs.What do you do with your mouse? If you hate pointing devices that are integrated into the laptop and notebook computers like I do, then this is the answer. I deal with the built-in touch pad mouse and do not miss-key often. However, I particularly dislike the tiny red button mouse that requires delicate movements. My finger slips off and the screen is suddenly filled with characters. Characters that I have to guide the mouse carefully over so that I can then highlight and delete... only to find I am back in the same cycle. I use a Sony F580 laptop as my primary computer along with the Microsoft Optical mouse. I also use an IBM X20 when I travel. This delightful two-pound machine is plagued with the red button mouse. Targus saves the day with a mouse that almost matches my system; talk about a match being made in techno-heaven! The Targus mouse is small and requires very little surface for manipulation. It is ideal for use on airplane trays, impromptu work areas in various offices, or the suite where I happen to be staying. The very size of the mouse creates a drawback. My hands are small, but they do get cramps when I spend a great deal of time using it. This mouse is less than half the size of a normal ergonomically designed mouse. The solution is simple though, just take a break. The mechanical device is both PC and Mac compatible. It uses USB plug-and-play, but the cable is only twenty-four inches long. The perfect solution would be an optical mouse with a longer "tail" so that I could use any surface except glass as the mouse pad. Targus provides a one-year warranty for the product. I give it five stars for the compact design, usability, 2.4 ounce weight, and rescuing me from the red button mouse plague. Victoria Tarrani
