Kensington 72114 Pocket Mouse

Average rating: Stars

Kensington's software (mouse drivers) for mac is AMAZING

Their software (mouse drivers) provides ability to customize (make your own) pop-up menu -- this is HUGE! Haven't seen it mentioned in the reviews, had to share. Researched (and have bought) most other brand mice, nothing else comes close (for the mac). The size/shape of the mouse works well for me, better than most others, although some of microsoft's are great

spotty performance

It works OK, except for when the pointer suddenly jumps to the other side of the screen. Why does it do this? I have no idea. It seems to happen about every 10 minutes on average. My other Kensington mouse (full size) doesn't have this problem, so I expect this is a problem with the Pocket Mouse in particular. I'm going to replace it with something more stable. (I'll just save it for use as a back-up mouse.)

Good Value on a Travel Mouse for Notebook Users

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.
