(More customer reviews)This is a decent laser mouse for a good price. I was a little wary at first because I had never heard of iHome before. Also there was not one customer review for any of their mice when I bought it, but I'd figured I'd give it a shot. It fit all criteria I was looking for:
- laser
- ergonomic shape and not too small
- wired
- no extra buttons all over the place that I never use
- good price
This mouse is dark metallic red and black and the scroll wheel is lit with a red light. I must say it looks pretty sharp. The scroll wheel feels great thankfully: quiet, easy to scroll and easy to click. It does not side click. At first I almost bought the Logitech MX-400 but people were complaining that the scroll wheel was way too hard to click. There are none of those side-buttons on this mouse which I'm glad because I never use them. There is a small button called DPI above the scroll wheel that speeds up the pointer. I'm never going to use it. The ergonomic shape is decent, not perfect. It won't fit as good with people with bigger hands, but there are very few affordable mice who fit the bigger hands crowd. If you have big hands it's possible you won't be overly thrilled with this mouse. It does have decent size to it though don't get me wrong, unlike all those tiny mice on the market today. Average sized hands people should be fine.
It doesn't come with any software, but I haven't bought a wired mouse in years, maybe they don't come with software I don't remember. I used Windows mouse settings to make adjustments to sensitivity and things like that. The pointer moves across the page accurately, better than optical.
I was expecting it to be cheap looking because of the price but the build quality is good and looks good, however here is my one complaint and why it gets 3.5 stars not 4: this mouse is as light as a feather. It's almost like it's not there. The lightness makes it feel kind of cheap. I'm going to have to get used to it because my previous mouse was a big and heavy wireless Kensington. If you're used to a heavy mouse with batteries be prepared for something very light, it might bother you, but maybe you'll actually like that it's light. Personally it does bother me a little bit, but I'm getting used to it and maybe it's better this way because it's less stress on the wrist. Overall though it's a decent, basic, laser mouse, without all the bells and whistles, and worth the price.
