Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted a mouse for my Macbook that did not require me to plug in a dongle. Therefore, a bluetooth mouse was my obvious choice. I heard about this mouse some months before it was available for purchase. It has bluetooth and laser. I am glad I waited for this mouse - it is great. It does what a mouse should without having to fuss with it or deal with all kinds of uneeded "features". Logitech once again came up with a winner.
It was recognized easily by my Macbook and worked perfectly without having to tweak anything. Contrary to what some reviewers say about laser mice, this mouse is not too sensitive. Scrolling is smooth and accurate. There is a slight delay when the computer starts for bluetooth to recognize the mouse, but this is negligible.
There is an on-off switch to conserve the battery -- very nice! Also, it is white to match my Macbook. I have had this mouse about a week and have not discovered any negatives. I love it.

Kensington PocketMouse Wireless Mini Travel Mouse ( 72214 ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The good news is that this small, cordless mouse will definitely work out a lot better than the full-size, corded mouse I had been using with my Mac PowerBook. (Whenever possible, I prefer to use my PowerBook as a kind of pseudo-desktop computer by connecting an external keyboard and mouse.) The small size of both the mouse and the receiver will make them much easier to pack up and take along with the PowerBook when it's time to go away on vacation, and the absence of a cord is already making life a lot easier in my somewhat cramped work environment. And now that I've figured out all its quirks and gotten past all its roadblocks, this mouse is very easy to control.
The bad news is all those quirks and roadblocks.
Most of them, I can help you avoid, but there's one I can only warn you about and tell you to persevere. The first thing you gotta do is insert two AAA batteries into the mouse. The batteries are supplied -- and in my case at least, they were Energizers -- but the battery cover is very difficult to get off. All I can tell you is -- keep pressing down and forward, like the instructions say, and eventually you'll get it. You just might sweat off several pounds first.
The next issue could have been avoided if the instructions had simply told me what NOT to do. (I subsequently emailed Kensington and WAS told NOT to do it.) To connect the cordless mouse, you plug a tiny receiver into the USB port in lieu of a cord. But you MUST use a port on the computer itself. You CANNOT plug the receiver into a USB hub. If you try to, the receiver's pilot light will light up, but you won't be able to establish a link with the mouse.
(I'm not sure whether it would have worked if I'd plugged the receiver into the external keyboard that was connected directly to my PowerBook. The shape of the keyboard and the receiver made this connection physically impossible. In order to continue using the external keyboard without sacrificing the hub, I had to plug the hub into the port where the keyboard had been, then plug the keyboard into the hub. Fortunately, the keyboard DID work in conjunction with the hub.)
With the receiver properly connected, establishing the link involves simply pressing a button on the receiver, then pressing the "connect" button on the mouse. When you press the receiver button, the pilot light starts to blink. When you establish the link, the pilot light glows steadily, but flickers each time you move the mouse. The linking procedure is simple enough, except that the `connect" button is recessed into the bottom of the mouse, and thus needs a pen or some similar object to press it.
After doing all this, I still thought the mouse wasn't working properly, but to be fair, this issue WAS covered in the instructions. This optical mouse is picky about the surfaces you use it on. It turns out that the worst surface to use is a black, reflective one -- which exactly describes my computer table. After putting the mouse on a sheet of white paper, everything was fine. I have to say, though, that this was NOT an issue with the optical mouse I'd been using -- which is probably why I glossed over that part of the instructions.
Well, now I'm "cooking with gas," as my third-grade teacher used to say, but there are still two quirks I occasionally have to deal with. The first one concerns the ability to turn the mouse off to conserve the batteries, which you do by pressing the scroll wheel, then pressing the connect button while holding the scroll wheel down. The same procedure turns the mouse back on. Most of the time, this works fine, except for the need to use a pen as described earlier. But occasionally, when I turn the mouse back on, the link is broken. This problem is solved by repeating the procedure used to establish the connection initially.
The second quirk would be a problem if I didn't have a cat and a three-year-old daughter. But sometimes, one or the other of them pressed some unknown combination of keys that causes the PowerBook to refuse to respond to the mouse. This problem is solved by unplugging and reconnecting the receiver.
So if you can avoid most of the problems I ran into, you should be up and running with this mouse in no time.

Kensington 72114 Pocket USB Mouse (PC/Mac) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this mouse for my PowerBook, primarily for use when away from home. For my large hands, I have traditionally preferred large mice, such as the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer and the (no longer available) full-size Logitech MouseMan series. However, I do find this mouse to be perfectly acceptable, especially given its portable dimensions. For me, it is much more comfortable than the slightly smaller, but more expensive Pocket Mouse SE (72118). It is comfortable enough that when I get home, I pull it out of its included stuff sack and plug it into my Kensington Keyboard-in-a-Box (64350) which serves as a two-port USB hub when plugged into my PowerBook. Thus, it also makes a reasonable compact desktop mouse.
In terms of performance, it has worked on any reasonable surface. I have had no problem using it on a variety of surfaces including solid-wood desks, laminate desks, standard mouse pads, a deeply textured couch, jeans, and the comforter on my bed. The only problematic surfaces have been a shiny metal file cabinet top and a holographic mouse pad, but this is to be expected. For the price I can't complain.
As far as compatibility is concerned, I have had no problems with my Mac running OS X (10.3) or my PC running Windows XP Professional. No driver installation was required for either system.
I'd highly recommend this as carry-along mouse for most portable computer users.

HP 27 MHz Wireless Optical Mobile Mouse (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This mouse looks great and only requires 1 AA battery to operate. However, the one I receive is defected. When holding down either the left or right click buttons (to drag items or select text) the mouse responds as if I am continuously clicking. I put my old wireless mouse in and it works exactly as it should. This mouse is useless if I cannot hold the left click button down for dragging items or selecting text!

Logitech 3-Button USB Optical Wheel Mouse - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You no longer get the SBF-96 that is advertised (which would also be a ps/2 mouse, NOT usb). I have the SBF-96 & wanted more. The SBF-96 is an excellent mouse. The mouse they send you is the UAE-96, which is a cheaper lower quality USB mouse. The UAE-96 sells for as little as five dollars. Also, it will NOT work with USB to PS/2 adapters. We already HAD a UAE-96, & it is nothing but problems with freezing for example. This WOULD be a great deal if it was actually the higher quality SBF-96. We sent the first UAE-96 back, & got the SAME for replacements after telling them the return was because of the MODEL they send us. We returned the second set also as they are NOT worth the money being charged (UAE-96) bad.

Logitech LX6 Cordless Optical Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted a mouse mouse to use on one of my other computers and just happened to stumble across this nice LX6 on clearance at target. Since I have an LX7 on my main computers, I figured I'd give this one a shot.
First off, the differences. As far as I can tell, the only differences is the lack of back/forward buttons, the large receiver, and some very minor design changes.
Performance wise, this mouse seems to work just as well as my LX7. Both are rather heavy using a pair of AA batteries, but in turn you get outstanding battery life. My LX7 will last at least 4 months of pretty heavy daily use. A little side note, if the weight is really a problem, the mouse will work with a single battery. I have not tested this for an extended time but have confirmed both my LX6 and LX7 will work without both batteries...go figure!)
Buttons have a nice feel to them. While I don't use the left/right scroll-wheel click, all other clicks have a soft feel. I will say they are almost too soft. Well, except for the center-click, though it seems much easier on the LX6 than my LX7.
There's really not much else to say regarding this fairly basic mouse. However, if all you need is a basic mouse, this is probably about as good as they get. No software is required either (unless you do want the left/right wheel clicks)

Targus PAUM01U Ultra-Mini Retractable Optical Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, i've tried over half a dozen wireless mice in the last five years. Every new one seems to claim that they're all lag free. That's not the case with me. I've even tried wireless mice up to a hundred dollars in price and even some Bluetooth mice. They are usually fine on a small laptop screen, but when you connect them up to a 24" LCD there is barely noticeable lag. It's so small that 95% of people would probably not notice it at all. It only seems to occur on large screens and it's a big enough annoyance to keep me from using a wireless mouse of any kind.
I heard about the new Blue-Track technology and just figured it was just a marketing thing and not really something new. I figured it was perhaps just an Optical mouse in disguise. After losing my receiver for my VX Revolution (which is a very good mouse) I needed a new mouse for my laptop with a small receiver. I read up about these and a almost went for the Mobile Mouse 5000 instead, but glad I didn't. I saw these on display at a local store and they were out of stock. I checked online and most every place was out of stock of them. I waited a week and my local store only got in the white version. After another few weeks I ended up driving a half hour just to pick up this mouse in black. Yes, I actually waited just so I didn't have to buy the ugly white version!
Instead of connecting it to my laptop I immediately hooked it up to my PC connected to a 24" display. I immediately noticed there was no micro-lag AT ALL. I was pretty impressed to say the least. It actually tracks just as well as my Logitech G5 that I was previously using. So far I have not installed any of the software on the disc, so I can not comment on that. I usually prefer not to if I can avoid it.
In my picture viewing software the mouse scroll wheel skips by pictures too fast, so that it's nearly impossible to scroll down one image at a time. I can fix the scroll speed in the software easily i'm sure. The scroll wheel itself is a bit too thin, but this is a laptop mouse, so it's not a big deal. The wheel just feels cheap and i've always preferred the Logitech wheels due to the clicking sound it makes when you scroll it. The auto-scroll on the VX revolution is a really nice feature.
Unfortunately the entire mouse feels cheap. It IS cheap, so that's not a big deal. It's not bad enough to make me want to not use it though. There is a rubber grip material on both sides of the mouse and i'm not sure why this was needed, since it's too smooth to begin with. It does however make the mouse look a bit better. It is a very well designed mouse and looks pretty nice.
I'm currently using this still on my desktop computer. As my main mouse it's a bit small, but for a laptop it's PERFECT. I actually liked the blue-track so much that I went out and bought the Wireless Mouse 5000 for my desktop. I didn't like that much (too big and heavy!) so I'm going to keep this for desktop use despite it being so small.
My suggestion to Microsoft is that they should make a higher quality version of this. One with a metal scroll wheel and better buttons. Pretty much like a top of the line model like the MX revolution. This actually tracks better then that mouse, so why not?It's the best tracking wireless mouse i've ever tried and the best mouse you can get for the price!
UPDATE: 3/2/2010
I love this mouse so much that I did end up buying two of them. One for my main computer and the second for my laptop. The nice thing about it when using it on a laptop is the receiver is so small you don't notice it. I tested the tracking on carpet, wood flooring and even glass and it was no problem. The most difficult surface for it to track on is tan leather. I often sit in my leather recliner while using my laptop and put the mouse on the arm rest (it's pretty wide). Sounds dumb, but it works! It's not even all that flat, but slightly curved! Occasionally after every 10 minutes the mouse starts to throw a fit and I have to switch to a different surface. Once I use it on a different surface for a few minutes and switch back, it's fine. It's almost as if the mouse re-learns how to track on the new surface. Very strange. I'm just amazed that it'd even work on such a surface to begin with.
The only minor negative i've found is that the battery doesn't last long. It's not even worth mentioning since batteries are so cheap. I've been through about two in a month. I've also noticed some stores charging more for some colors due to being hard to find!

Logitech V450 Cordless Laser Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a notebook mouse that isn't too tiny for a regular user. I use this mouse about 8 hours a day on my laptop. I got this mouse mainly for portability if I have to travel for my business but it is still comfortable enough to be a desktop mouse.
A few things to note:
1) Laser mouse: This is a laser mouse which basically has very very high accuracy and pretty much works on any reasonable surface.
2) Scroll wheel: The scroll wheel is very smooth but does have the regular click feel to it as opposed to my Microsoft Wireless mouse which doesn't. I prefer having the click feel but that's my personal opinion. The scroll wheel can also be "clicked" to the left and right if you're working on stuff that requires you to use the horizontal scrollbars.
3) Continuity: The 2.4 Ghz frequency of the wireless is phenomenal. I work pretty much 99% of the time wirelessly in my basement and have never run into any problems whatsoever. Notice that the receiver, too, is a tiny USB dongle which is perfect for travelling?
4) Power: Why is it perfect? Well, the dongle actually plugs into the mouse and shuts the mouse off to convserve on battery besides helping portability. 2 AA batteries are supposed to last 1 year with regular usage. The mouse in itself also has a on/off button which you can use if you prefer not to have to remove and reinsert the dongle into the mouse all the time.
5) Indicator: The mouse also comes with an LED light that will light up when batteries are low so no surprises - especially for me since I'm also a daytrader.
The setpoint software that comes with Logitech is highly recommended. It even tells you if the battery is good or low.
I give this thing 5 stars. Everything I want in a notebook mouse and nothing less.

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000 Mac/Win USB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my third MS wireless notebook mouse (see my uploaded product images). I also have the optical 3000 (original version with the 2 piece adjustable USB receiver that rotates - a design flaw in my opinion, as I will explain), and the laser 6000. I will briefly go over the differences between the three models.
Disclaimer: I am not a gamer; I use my laptop primarily for web browsing and office apps. I also have not installed the Microsoft drivers as I didn't want to interfere with the trackpad & trackpoint functionality on my laptop, so I cannot comment on the software or extra features that are available with the 4-way scroll wheel and additional buttons (on the 6000 and 7000).
The 3000 was a great wireless notebook mouse for its time, with long battery life, good ergonomics (for a portable mouse), and decent accuracy. After two years of use, it still works fine except the left and right buttons sometimes fail to register on light clicks, and require repeated forceful clicks to be acknowledged. The only other problem I have is with the 2 piece "J" shaped USB receiver design. While it seems like a good idea to be able to rotate the receiver for optimal reception, the design makes the receiver just flexible enough that it doesn't always stay put when snapped into the bottom of the mouse. It often becomes loose enough so that it stops engaging the "off" switch at the bottom of the mouse, causing the mouse to turn on and waste precious battery life. (Note: Microsoft later came out with a design revision that changed the USB receiver to a single fixed piece like in the 6000.)
Due to the problem with the USB receiver on the 3000, I relegated it to home use only and purchased the 6000 over a year ago to carry around with me. It adds: laser tracking, horizontal scrolling capabilities with the 4-way (now smooth) scroll wheel, and a (tiny) additional button on the left side of the mouse. However I felt that there was a reduction in ergonomics due to the flatter profile of the mouse, and the larger scroll wheel housing forces my fingers to spread apart more, resulting in a less comfortable feel. I was extremely impressed with the improved laser tracking though, so much so that I also upgraded my desktop mouse to a laser model. It's just much more sensitive than the LED optical pickup, and requires less movement to drag the pointer across the screen while retaining pinpoint accuracy.
I recently purchased the 7000 to replace the dying 3000, and it is an improvement over the 6000 in terms of ergonomics. It is slightly longer than the 3000 and 6000 (but has a smaller USB receiver than comes with either), and the scroll wheel housing takes minimal space now, so it feels better in my hand because I don't have to spread my fingers apart as much, and there is more surface area to rest my palm on.
The 7000 also adds a new right side button, and both side buttons are integrated into the smooth curve of the mouse making them easier to click than the tiny left side-only button on the 6000. There is a battery indicator light on the mouse now, which illuminates briefly after the USB receiver is detached from the mouse. In addition, the LED on the USB receiver now lights up whenever it detects motion from the mouse (it remains constantly on in the 6000). The 7000 retains the other great features of the 6000, making it a winning design in my opinion.
If you're a light mouse user, any of Microsoft's wireless notebook mice products will work fine for you. If you are a heavy mouse user though, you will appreciate the slight refinements Microsoft has added in the 7000.
P.S., Microsoft touts the 2.4GHz frequency of this mouse as an advantage over the older 27MHz technology, but it's probably more of a gimmick than anything as I've never had range problems with this or the older wireless mice. The good news is that this mouse doesn't appear to interfere with other 2.4GHz wireless devices in my house, and it works fine even though the USB receiver is on the other side of my laptop. I'm also running a Microsoft wireless laser desktop 6000 on my PC, an 802.11 router in my office, and various 2.4GHz/5.8GHz/DECT cordless phones throughout my house. I have yet to experience any sort of connectivity or interference issues with my wired and wireless electronics.

HP USB 3 Button Optical Mouse in Retail Packaging Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this looking for a cheap mouse to use with my new Dell 1737 with Windows 7. It works just fine. It's very light and there's no mistaking that it's a cheap mouse, but I've had no problems using it. The buttons are responsive, the scroll wheel feels just right, and it tracks very well, both on a mousepad and the wood grain of the table it rests on. It doesn't conform to your hand like a high-end mouse and it doesn't have additional button functions or sidescrolling, but for $10, all I wanted was a mouse that works. This one does, and it's symmetrical design makes it equally useful for left-handed users.

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - Slate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had this mouse for a couple of weeks and am very satisfied with it. There was no software installation. I simply plugged the wireless receiver into an available USB port, put a "AA" size battery in the mouse, and turned on the computer. The mouse started working just as Windows XP finished loading.
It may be a little small for really large hands, but it fits my hand (medium-size male) perfectly with my palm resting on a mouse pad for comfort. In fact, it feels better than most I've had in the past (desktop or laptop). And the mouse fits into a side packet of a laptop case very nicely. As others have pointed out, the USB receiver fits into the bottom of the mouse when traveling.
The buttons are shapped well, as are the rubber side grips. The two large buttons feel solid, but the center scroll button is a little noisy and doesn't feel as well made. But, that center button works as well as the other two.
Since I've only had it a couple of weeks, I don't know how long the "AA" battery will last yet. However, I'm using my laptop mainly as a desktop, used many hours each day, and the original battery is still going strong. To insert the battery, press the silver button directly below the "Microsoft" logo and the top pops off (the release button is designed to look decorative). At that point, one will immediately see the battery holder.
The wireless feature works flawlessly. In fact, if one had really good eyes, one could operate the computer from the other side of a room. Yes, I've actually tried that, with the mouse moving the cursor around the screen with no problems.
I just read one of the other reviews where a lag was mentioned. I've seen nothing of this. In fact, after reading that review, I sat here moving the mouse slowly, quickly, tiny movements, short movements, long movements, and so on, with no noticeable lag. The cursor moves exactly as the mouse moves.
All in all, I think anyone would be satisfied with this mouse.

UPDATE: I wrote the above in February 2005 and have continued to use the mouse since (now Aug 2006). It is still performing well and the battery mentioned in the review above lasted through about 2.5 months of routine everyday use. I have since purchased a second mouse for my desktop computer, which is also working fine after about four months. The following is in response to issues raised by other reviewers.
To Edwin A. Pell III (New York), the mouse fits identically in either a left or right hand. To reverse the buttons, open the "Mouse" control panel and select "other pointing devices" in the drop-down menu listing your laptop's touchpad.
Again, to anyone wanting to ADJUST MOUSE SETTINGS, use the "other pointing devices" selection in the "Mouse" control panel.
To A. Mazakov (Fairfax, VA), the mouse is not sealed shut. The screws are located under the four black adhesive feet on the bottom of the mouse. Pry the feet off with a knife and stick them back on when finished with your modification.
To Denis Dolgachev (Ann Arbor, MI), you do not have to disconnect the mouse each night. The mouse enters a battery saving mode when no movement is detected for some time, allowing batteries to last upwards of two to three months (depending on usage) with a continous connection. In other words, you really only need to disconnect the mouse when you want to move or store the computer.
Those mentioning lags, delays, or choppy movement should check the "Mouse" control panel settings or for things interfering with USB devices. When setup and operating properly, there is no latency behavior whatsoever with this mouse. Movements are fine and precise. The only normal delay is in the split second when the mouse recovers from the battery saving mode after periods of inactivity.

Logitech Cordless Mini Optical Mouse (931396-0403) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great little wireless USB mouse. Although it's featured as a mini, I have one each for my laptop AND desktop systems - one PC and one Mac - and it works great with both. Nice response, no delay, and the battery lasts for several months. I'm a huge fan of the scroll wheel; I really miss it when I have to use a non-scroll mouse. I highly recommend this one if you're looking for performance at a value price.

Connectland CL-MOU23008 2.4 GHz Wireless Optical Mouse with USB Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We ordered this Connectland wireless mouse from Amazon.com using standard shipping on Monday the 7th and received it on Thursdy the 10th! Wow - that's FAST!!! I took it out of the package, put in the two included AAA batteries, plugged the TINY USB receiver into my computer, turned on the mouse and VIOLA!!! Instantly connected! No pushing buttons to get synced, it's already setup to automatically connect. It's a 5 button mouse so comes with the usual 3 buttons and wheel plus adds two buttons for paging forward and backward - EXTREMELY convenient once you remember this feature is available. This Connectland wireless mouse is AWESOME, especially at the price that Amazon.com charges - I paid $19.88 including shipping! The technology (DSS - automatic frequency shifting) is incredible, especially for something at this price and YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO MAKE IT WORK - IT'S AUTOMATIC!!! Automatic frequency shifting is an important ability with 2.4 GHz devices because this band is jammed with 2.4 GHz household devices that could interfere but don't. This mouse works incredibly well and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone considering going to the convenience of wireless vs. wired mousing or looking for a more current state-of-the-art wireless optical mouse.

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - Winter Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had this mouse for a couple of weeks and am very satisfied with it. There was no software installation. I simply plugged the wireless receiver into an available USB port, put a "AA" size battery in the mouse, and turned on the computer. The mouse started working just as Windows XP finished loading.
It may be a little small for really large hands, but it fits my hand (medium-size male) perfectly with my palm resting on a mouse pad for comfort. In fact, it feels better than most I've had in the past (desktop or laptop). And the mouse fits into a side packet of a laptop case very nicely. As others have pointed out, the USB receiver fits into the bottom of the mouse when traveling.
The buttons are shapped well, as are the rubber side grips. The two large buttons feel solid, but the center scroll button is a little noisy and doesn't feel as well made. But, that center button works as well as the other two.
Since I've only had it a couple of weeks, I don't know how long the "AA" battery will last yet. However, I'm using my laptop mainly as a desktop, used many hours each day, and the original battery is still going strong. To insert the battery, press the silver button directly below the "Microsoft" logo and the top pops off (the release button is designed to look decorative). At that point, one will immediately see the battery holder.
The wireless feature works flawlessly. In fact, if one had really good eyes, one could operate the computer from the other side of a room. Yes, I've actually tried that, with the mouse moving the cursor around the screen with no problems.
I just read one of the other reviews where a lag was mentioned. I've seen nothing of this. In fact, after reading that review, I sat here moving the mouse slowly, quickly, tiny movements, short movements, long movements, and so on, with no noticeable lag. The cursor moves exactly as the mouse moves.
All in all, I think anyone would be satisfied with this mouse.

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 - Sea Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow! I had a 3 year old Microsoft mouse that worked great, but the USB transceiver was a real pain mainly because of the length of the thing. I broke one of my USB ports when I accidentally banged into the thing one day and on a laptop one can ill afford to lose a USB connector right?
Anyway, the transceiver on this unit is tiny, it only sticks out maybe a 1/4 of an inch so there's no probability of you damaging your machine by accident. And, it is extremely responsive, even more than the older design. The drivers loaded automatically in Windows 7 and I'm back in bidness. Both left and right buttons work as they should, and the scroll is perfect. Battery life is extended too with an On/Off switch. Works on any surface, the laptop frame, the couch, your jeans!
This purchase BTW was a necessity because of the crappy touch-pad on my new Asus K52jr-4, which was so erratic as to make the laptop virtually unusable. I see a lot of complaints on the web about this, but anyway I highly recommend this mouse, especially at the price which is about 1/2 of an equivalent Logitech device.
