Logitech 936042-0403 MouseMan Traveler (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this mouse for over a year now, hooked up to Apple PowerBook G4, which incidentally, complements each other's metallic surface well.
Pros:
- Very portable, ruggedly built.
- Stylish design with brushed metallic surface (highly resistant to finger prints).
- Ideal cord length (includes an extension cord as well).
- Comes with the carrying pouch.
- Smooth mousing experience -- smooth pointer movement, good tactile feedback on the buttons and scroll wheel.
Cons:
- Too small for all but small hands under extended usage.
- Only the surface is metallic. The rest is unimpressive boring black boxy plastic.
- Scroll wheel and the plastic layer underneath the metal surface attract dust.
- Non-retractable cord.
- Only 2 buttons and scroll wheel.
If you are looking for a mouse that will sit on your desk most of the time, this is NOT the mouse for you. Although it is one of the best portable mice out there, its small dimension (about the size of a PC Card) will challenge all but small hands after extended use. Get a desktop mouse if that's your intention.
That said, all portable mice are small and Logitech's MouseMan Traveler is among the very best. Its optical sensor, while not one of those super fast sensitive kinds, will track the pointer movement with grace and accuracy, never skipping the beat. Its two buttons, which are cleverly integrated as the surface body, offer very good tactile feedback, as does its scroll wheel, which offers good friction (not too smooth, not too hard).
My only real complaints is how easily the mouse collects dust. Because this is an optical mouse, the dust will not interfere with the operation. However, the area between metal surface (which doubles as two buttons) has some gap that attracts dust. You can use the paper napkin to clean, but be prepared to clean often. The scroll wheel collects dust even more easily, although this is all too common among scroll wheel-based mice.
I recommend this mouse highly for travelers.
