Summary: Great mouse while it worked...
Review: I don't like using touchpads and I got this mouse for my laptop about 6 months ago. I use my laptop a lot and take it from meeting to meeting, and absolutely loved this mouse - its size and retractable cord made it really easy to take around with me.

The only issue was its short life span: it died on me last week, without warning. No LED light, nothing. By reading the other comments, it looks like I'm not the only one who experienced this issue.

It is so convenient that I would buy it again, if Targus updated this model. For now I think I'll stick with a sturdier model, even if it is bigger.

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: Worked For One Year
Review: I loved this little mouse up until this morning when it suddenly died. No light. No USB detection anymore. Plain and simple, after closer inspection, I realized that the wire was the culprit. Probably broken somewhere. This mouse would be better off as a cordless, then it would be fantastic.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: good for 5 months, then it dies
Review: i loved this mouse when i first got it. it was small, portable, and didn't take too much space. the retractable cord was the next best thing to cordless. but, after about 5 months of use, the right click stopped working. a friend of mine tried to fix it, said that it was dirty, and it worked for about 2 wks after that. asked the same friend to look at it again, he said the thing that connected the clicker to the sensor was too short after taking the thing apart. so, he tried rigging it, but now its just broken. if they made a better version of this, i'd try it again.

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.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nice Idea ... not very solid
Review: Mine's still working after 9 months although it's a bit touchy (i.e. unresponsive) at times. I find it helps to full extend the cord. The concept - a mini mouse for my laptop with a little memory on the side - is a great one. But the quality is only fair.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Lovely until it breaks
Review: My husband's gone through two of these. When the mouse button on the first broke, he chalked it up to bad luck. When the second broke, he bought another brand. Fine mouse, great ergonomics, but it only lasted a couple of months.
