Overview
An optical sensor in a slim, curved body tracks movement for right-handed users on Windows and Mac computers. It connects over Bluetooth, so no dongle takes up a port, and the black plastic shell is built to stay light in a bag.
The reason to buy is portability: it is thin, light and wireless. The limit is the battery information, which lists two different cell types, and the sparse seller description.
Who it's for
Mobile workers and students with a Bluetooth-capable laptop will use the slim shape and light weight. Left-handed users should skip it, since the design is listed as right-handed, and buyers who want a dongle or extra buttons should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Slim and lightweight
- Bluetooth, no dongle needed
- Long average battery life
- Works with Windows and Mac
- Battery type fields disagree
- Seller description is empty
Performance notes
An optical sensor reads the surface under the mouse, so tracking depends on the desk material. Bluetooth links to the computer within the listed range, and the low-power connection helps battery life. Battery life depends on the cell type and use.
