Product Description
The Kensington 72117 PocketMouse Pro Wireless Compact Travel USB Mouse is the ultimate traveling mouse packed with the smartest features. Simply pull the receiver from its storage place inside the mouse, and plug it into a Mac or PC via an open USB port. It's the perfect solution for mobile professionals who are dissatisfied with the built-in input devices on their laptops and want a versatile mouse that travels light. The RF receiver for this mouse rotates to fit any port configuration, has a range of up to three feet, and automatically turns off the mouse when stored to extend battery life. The Kensington 72117 features a compact shape that is comfortable for both right- and left-handed use, and a stylish metallic-silver and translucent-black color combination that complements contemporary laptops. More convenient and comfortable than a touch-pad, the Kensington Pocket Mouse Pro has three mouse buttons and a scroll wheel that makes navigation easy. The speed and pinpoint accuracy of Kensington's DiamondEye optical technology allows it to respond to even your fastest movements with accurate tracking and precise guidance, and has the additional convenience of no required cleaning. The Kensington 72117 works right out of the box, with long-lasting reliability that is backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty. This mouse requires a PC running Windows 98, ME, 2000, or XP, or a Macintosh running Mac OS 10.1.5 or later, though it will still function as a one-button mouse with Mac 8 and 9.

Decent
This mouse has positive and negative qualities. Compared to other wireless mice, such as the Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse, it is decent, but not too far above average.The Kensington mouse is easy enough to hook up to the computer, just plug the reciever into the USB port. The more difficult part is getting reception from the mouse to the reciever. To get reception, a button on the reciever is pushed and held in for few seconds. Sometimes this does not work and must be repeated until it does....

Had to return it
I have a Dell laptop, and the USB ports are on the left. I use the mouse on the right and this mouse would only work intermittently on the right - because of the poor RF signal. Basically unusable. It must be a very crappy RF receiver. It also goes to sleep after no activity and would take at least 2seconds to wake up - kind of annoying (trying to save batteries). There are plenty of better wireless notebook mice out there for the same price or LESS! I decided to return this one and go with the...

Kensington Drivers
I have a new Fujitsu Laptop running XP Professional.I installed the Mouse on my Laptop without any problems. The issues started when I loaded the CD with the Kensington drivers and options. I could not leave well enough alone.It worked at first, until I put my computer into stand-by and then brought it back up to normal run state. Both the on-board mouse and the wireless Kensington would not function. After a few tries I was forced to uninstall the Kensington Software and under device manager, remove...
