Summary: Mouse Size is Great; Retracting Cord Broke Quickly
Review: Bought the mouse for a Dell Inspiron 600 because of size and retractable cord. The size fits in a laptop case easily and is far less bulky than others. While very small, it works well on small tables, on the computer itself and on an airplace tray. But, the lock on the cord rewind device broke within one month and I now have to tie a knot in the cord on both sides of the rewind section to keep it from snapping back against the computer when no in use. It didn't really cost that much, but, as it turned out, it was a waste of money. I no longer use it. When it worked, I would rate it a 5; broken a 0.

Summary: Road mouse
Review: Exactly what we were looking for, it functions as well as a full size mouse and is ideal for working in a restricted space such as on a laptop surface. The retractable cord makes it super convenient, it's perfect.

Summary: Love my mouse...
Review: For $20 I couldn't have done better. Small and easy to use, and after a year it still works perfectly. Money well spent for me...

Summary: Wonderful - so glad I bought it!
Review: I didn't think I really needed this for my laptop, since the touchpad does a decent job. But this makes navigating the desktop and surfing the web much faster and more comfortable. It's tiny, but feels just right. I don't even like using a regular sized mouse anymore. It is truly plug and play via the USB port - it doesn't require separate software or drivers, or even a system restart for that matter. I just hooked it up and was using it in less than half a minute. Both buttons and the scroll wheel perform admirably. The self-winding cord works like a charm too. It comes with its own carry bag which makes packing convenient. In essence, it's everything I was looking for in a mouse. I'm not usually terribly enthusiastic about gadgets, but this one is without flaw.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Small and Handy
Review: I don't know why I waited too long to buy a small, convenient optical mouse. It's a great value and works very well with a notebook. The retractable cord is a convenience and the size is just right for working on small tables such as on an airplane tray. It is also very attractive and looks expensive. It comes with a small carrying case which can fit nicely in your pocket. For the business traveler with a notebook computer, forget the built-in trackball in your notebook and invest in this modestly priced mini optical mouse from Targus.

Summary: very pleased so far!
Review: I have rather sweaty fingers (I tell ya, this is really annoying), so it is essential for me NOT to rely on touch pad too much. This tiny mouse has been a life saver for me. It is rather affordable, and works pretty well with many (but not all; occasionally it doen't work on very, very smooth surfaces) surfaces. There are more expensive chordless models, but in many occasions, I'll be working on my notebook computer with limited amount of space, so having the "retractable" chord doesn't bother me at all.

"Retractable" is indeed the key here. It's so compact that you don't feel that you are carrying around yet another tiny electronic gadget along with your cell phone, mp3 player, shaver, etc., etc. Anyways, highly recommended.

Summary: Best Laptop Accessory!!!!!!!
Review: I LOVE this little mouse. Its so compact but it doesnt feel too small. Portability is awesome as its cord is retractable. Theres not one downside to this mouse! I highly recommend this for any laptop user. This is also the first time I've owned an Optical Mouse and I will NEVER go back to a track ball mouse. You no longer have to drag the mouse everywhere and when using a laptop thats really helpful!!! You can also use this on almost any surface!

Summary: Nice Idea, Lousy Scroll Wheel
Review: I thought this would be the perfect accessory for my laptop, which I carry with me every day. I am a web user who relies on the scroll wheel to navigate pages, and no sooner did I throw out the receipt and packaging (thereby eliminating chance of returning it), the scroll wheel started failing frequently. Now it only catches a fraction of the time. I'm disappointed.

Summary: Very handy but somewhat fragile
Review: I've had my Targus minimouse for somewhat less than 1 year. Generally, it works fine. Recently, it has begun to act up: the pointer wanders leftwards across the screen at times, and; double clicking now requires triple and quadruple clicking.

The mouse is VERY small and a bit awkward to use. By contrast, the Microsoft M20 is somewhat larger and seems more rugged.

I am going to replace the mini Targus with the Microsoft mouse soon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: It is an excellent mouse. And I like the PS2 adapter, which allows us to use either PS2 or USB port.
