Summary: best mouse i ever bought
Review: i bought this as a replacement for the incredibly crappy microsoft wireless optical mouse that i had previously, and three months and thousands of clicks later it still works flawlessly.- optical tracking smoothness/resolution is excellent
- USB-PnP (no driver required for my comp)
- thin wire doesn't get in the way--my last experience with a wireless mouse was anything but liberating, thank god this mouse is wired
- it's small, lightweight, aesthetically pleasing... silver/translucent blue plastic with red backlight (basically the optical sensor light visible from the top)
- only con: very easy to inadvertently click the mouse, requires only the lightest touch...fine for small hands, hellish for large ones

Summary: Fair - Kensington Can and Has Done Better
Review: I bought this as a travel mouse for my PowerBook. Having large hands, I have traditionally preferred large mice, such as the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer and the (no longer available) full-size Logitech MouseMan series. Nonetheless, in the name or portability, I was willing to give this mouse a try.
While I wouldn't expect a travel mouse to offer the most comfort, this one didn't seem to offer me any. In addition, the buttons seemed to take more than the expected amount or pressure for such a delicately sized mouse in order to actually click them. Beyond this, the cord is simply too short to allow this mouse to be used as anything but a supplemental pointing device for a mobile. On my computer desk, it did not have enough reach to connect to my desktop PC and still allow any range of movement.
This isn't a terrible mouse, but for less money, the standard Kensington Pocket Mouse (72114) offers surprisingly more comfort, better buttons, a longer cord, and less gaudy styling with only an insignificant increase in size.

Summary: Compact, cute, cool
Review: I purchased this mouse based on color and compactability for traveling. It works great, fits well into smaller hands such as mine (...and children) and moves effortlessly. The price being offered on Amazon is amazing, as well! I paid nearly $10 more at Office Depot in-store (aka, no shipping) in Miami.
