Belkin Mobile Retractable Mouse Grey
I purchased this one as a spare. I had purchased one in blue and it lasted for 2 years, without a problem, but then one day, the red light didn't come on...you could shake it and the light would flash...but it was a "no go". I went to the Belkin site and discovered that you can return it for a replacement. I even registered the mouse at the same time that I went in to fill out the return paperwork. It took about 5 min., they email you a return number, a form to add to the package, a mailing lable with the return number showning.
I mailed it in a old, tiny recycled bubble envelope. It cost us $1.95 for postage and I received it in about 10 days. They replaced it and I now have a new mouse that cost $1.95. They honored their guarantee and I was extremely impressed with their company.
SO all of you who are complaining about your mouse...go to the belkin web site, fill out the form and return it. I'm surprised you folks didn't think of that.
Just to add, it is a little mouse...perfect for travel. My husband has big hands and he has no problem with it. I think he likes it more than I do, 'cause he really missed it and grumbled a lot until we received the new one.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a small mouse. No problems with the retractable cord, the wheel, or the left and right click buttons and never had any probs until it just stopped dead.
I have this mouse in pink from Target.
BalasHapusI think I'm in love with it to an almost inappropriate extent; it handles well, the retractable feature is easy and handy and the size is perfect to pop it in my shoulder bag when I'm on the go.
But I'm going to have to agree with some other reviews- the clicker is loud!
There are less expensive mini-mice but this is the best one I've found so far. Very comfortable. Works perfectly. The size if perfect -- I gather that some people prefer a large mouse. Not me. For laptop use, this mouse is the perfect size and shape. The scroll wheel makes navigating web pages a dream.
BalasHapusCable retracts easily (unlike others that I've owned). Click is just a little loud but not a problem (except with my spouse at night when she is trying to get to sleep!). Not the most elegant of the bunch. Most such mice break quickly. So far, this one keeps on working. I'll buy another Belkin Retractable Mouse when this one dies. (I think that the cause of demise is usually a problem with the cable. Perhaps the cable on this guy is sturdier that most.) As always, Amazon has the best price on the internet. Keep it up Amazon -- you are the most transformative retailer in history and you make my life easier.
UPDATE: I have now used this mouse for many months. It continues to perform perfectly. I have owned many mini-mice but they always seem to become unstable after a while, probably because the cable develops micro-fractures due to multiple flexions and traction while lifting the mouse by the cable. The cable on this mouse is the perfect balance of thinness (so it is unobtrusive) and sturdiness (so it lasts a good long while). I'll be happy to buy another one of these guys when the present one finally does give up the ghost. One minor issue: there are 4 miniature pads glued to the bottom of the mouse in each of its 4 corners which are supposed to serve as glides. So far, 3 of these have fallen off. It is no matter as the mouse works just fine. However, I use the mouse on fabric surfaces. I don't know if it would perform as well without these glides on a slick desktop.
FURTHER UPDATE: With heavy use, these mice do stop working after several months. As noted, this is probably due to fractures in the cable although the last time this happened it may have been the USB connector with my laptop. In any case, I always keep a few of these on hand as a back up. They are absolutely essential and at about $10. it is well worth it to buy a new mouse a few times a year.
Red is my favorite color so I was excited to get this mouse. This mouse was a little smaller than I expected. It took some time to get used to, but now I think its great! I purchased 2 by mistake and was ready to send the second one back when my sister commented on how cute it was, I gave it to her and she loves it also. I may have to purchase one for my husband in black...
BalasHapusThe mouse is very compact. But it feels well built and really tracks well on all the surfaces I have tried. I had a less well built mouse before that did not track as well on certain surfaces. I am happy with this purchase.
BalasHapusThis Belkin mouse it pretty cool for its size! Im a college student and I needed a small yet usable mice to go along with my Toshiba Satellite A505 laptop. I did not want to spend too much money on the mouse because it would be only used for a laptop, i could have paid about $10-12 more for a larger full mouse. But for the price its good quality and really good for college kids and for a traveling person. The retractable cord is ideal for a traveling person and for a college student as myself who is always having to unplug things from her laptop on the desk to take it to class. The scroll wheel is nice for a mouse this size. Optical sensor mainly used to indicate that the mouse it on. Mouse is great on all surfaces pretty much...the track ball moves very well. I love the fact that there is no SOFTWARE to install. Overall great, I would definitely buy another one.
BalasHapusOriginally i bought this mouse only because my girlfriend said she wanted something small for her laptop and because she said it was cute due to its smallness. The package arrived today and i tested it out on my own computer and it was definitely small but this little thing is very cool. I like the face that the mouse retracts its cord for easy put away. and i also like the fact that it is a laser type mouse not a ball. Don't judge this mouse on its size. IT is tiny but mighty. Great product. i might go ahead and buy one of these for myself considering im starting college soon too.
BalasHapusThe mouse works well, glides smoothly, functions properly without glitches. It retracts easily. I am constantly throwing it into my laptop bag to take it from home to work and back. It's held up well even though I tend to just toss it into the pocket along with the power cord, so I'll say it can take a little abuse. The only minor issue I have with it is that it clicks somewhat loudly when you press the buttons. I know this is a silly issue, but if you're using it during a meeting, it can be heard in a quiet room as it's louder than laptop keyboard clicks.
BalasHapusIt is quite small (fits on a credit card). However, the small form is a good attribute when you have little room to work with (I barely have to lift the palm of my hand because I can move it so much with just my fingers). The retractable cord is a very nice feature, it is better than worrying about batteries and/or having to deal with a wireless fob. Plus, you can control how much cord to use. I use it all the time since I can't stand using touchpads on laptops.

BalasHapusIt's very compact but very well sides and I have big hands. The quality is pretty good, feels sturdy and nice punch with the buttons. The mouse wheel is great, it's actually the same size as those on full sized mouse so there is no problem using it. The retractable cords are also very well made.
BalasHapusHighly recommended.
