| Review | Rating | Last Updated | A disaster
The Micro Innovations wireless mouse did little more than eat batteries at a blazing fast rate. After a much too long wait, I got an RMA number from Ritz Camera from whom it was shipped. So far, they deny receiving my return shipment despite the fact that I covered most of the front of the package with clear shipping tape so as to prevent any chance of obliterating the address information. I placed the RMA number at two locations on the package, also covered with clear shipping tape. | 1 | Today | Micro Innovations Wireless Mouse...great product
The mouse is great. Fits right in the palm of the hand. Not to big but not tiny either. Works wonderfully with the laptop and not bulky to pack up. | 5 | Today | Right-hand button never worked.
The subject header says it all. No amount of work with the software helped. I'm confident it was just a bad piece of hardware. I should've taken it back, but I'd thrown away the package. | 2 | Today | Problems
I first came across this mouse while staying with my cousin, he had only owned his for a week, it was already in bad shape, the mouse wheel wouldn't press in or move. I thought that it might not actually be an inferior product, after watching my cousin act like an angry monkey and beat the brand new wireless mouse he had bought to replace this one.
So when it came time for me to buy a new mouse I remembered this one and decided to give it a shot. First problem I noticed was that the batteries wouldn't last more then 24 hours of use. Second problem was that after a week I couldn't left click on anything.
I do not abuse my computer equipment, nor accesories, atleast not physically, verbal abuse is another matter altogether however. Heh, so I expect them to function properly for longer then a week after I buy them, and returning products is kind of a hassle.
Unless your not intending to use this mouse more then, ten minutes a day, I would suggest you pass it over and buy something more reliable. | 1 | Today | Works well with my Mac, but a few criticisms
This mouse has a decent response and feel, but I have a few small complaints. In its favor, it is compact yet comfortable and reasonably responsive. Also, it worked just fine with most of my Macintosh computers running OS X. Specifically, it worked out of the box with a G4 iBook running Panther 10.3.9 and a G4 PowerBook running Tiger 10.4.1 Server. It did not work with a Blue and White G3 tower running Jaguar 10.2.8, but I will retry after I update the OS.
In terms of complaints, nearly everyone mentions the battery cover. I almost went crazy over this one, partially because the instructions did not include a diagram of the mouse and where the magic battery release button would be. I guessed (correctly) that it would be the grey button in the center, but could not get the cover to come off. Searching online, I found that Micro Innovations has a PDF of the instructions containing a diagram ( http://www.mic-innovations.com/documents/PD910P-20030909.pdf page 8). Reassured that I was on the right path, I pushed the button down and toward the back of the mouse while pulling on the cover and viola, I had access to insert the batteries. I think that the instructions could have been more clear.
Another criticism of this mouse is that the "off" switch on the mouse is difficult to use. Not only is the switch difficult to reach, it is a bit stubborn to move and feels more likely to break than budge.
Overall, this isn't a bad mouse for the money. If you don't want to spend too much on a premium wireless unit, then I suggest you take a look at this one. | 3 | Today | Ok but ...
One major and one minor complaint: battery installation and size. As mentioned before the batteries can be very difficult to install. The top, rear of the mouse (painted black) slides back when the silver tab behind the two mouse buttons is pressed. Basicly you have to press the silver tab as hard as you can (I mean really, really hard but try not to break it) with your thumb while using your other hand's index finger and thumb pressed against the sides, pulling back the rear piece (painted black). Clearly a design flaw but not too bad when you finally figure it out. It took me about 10 minutes. My Logitech cordless mouse took about 10 seconds.
The other complaint is the size. This thing is tiny. Using the third button (pressing the wheel down) is a problem but functional. On the plus side my five year old loves this mouse over regular sized mice. It fits her hand perfectly.
Overall, I like it and use it on a daily basis. It doesn't have a "cheap" feel like some mice. Surprising good for kids because of it's size. | 3 | Today | Good luck installing batteries!
I can't say much about the mouse, since I was stuck in Step 1 of the User's Manual--battery installation. No kidding! "Remove the battery compartment cover located on top of your mouse by pressing the release button..." I looked at every square inch of the mouse and I can testify under oath that there is NO RELEASE BUTTON. I am probably going to have to use screwdrivers and hammers to open it. | 1 | Today | Very pleased for 8 months !!!!
Very pleased with the mouse. I use rechargeable NIMH battery i it, so it lasts for 3 months without a charge. Some people might find this a bit smaller, so watch out before u buy. quality wise it is great !!! note: all micro innovations' products are not good. this one is good. | 5 | Today |
