opinions on the TARGUS AMB01US Bluetooth mini mouse

anyone have this mouse? or heard good/bad things about it?

i thinking about purchasing one-- (i can find it under $40)

i need some opinions ^____^

 

Unlikely under $40. Maybe used on ebay.

 

hehe regardless- at that price- is it worth it? how's it perform? cant find many reviews

 

Don't have any experience with that mouse. I do have a Kensington Pocket Mouse with bluetooth that works pretty good. I think they make one with an adatper. Around the same price though.

 

I'm planning on getting a bluetooth mouse for my new compaq v2000z that has integrated bluetooth. The three that seemed to stick out the most and be potential buys for me are the Targus, the Bluetake bt500, and the Anycom Btm-100 ^__^

The bluetake has a few reviews, but the Targus and Anycom dont have any =(

*edit*

i found one review of the Targus one http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=9746&highlight=targus+bluetooth

but would still like more feedback =)

 

Was going to post my link, but breezie beat me to it...search is an amazing thing

 

Sorry about that ^^ -- are you still liking that mouse brian? does it really last around 6 weeks with the batteries??? Some users at CNET say it last less then a week =(

here's the review that stuck out:

I have had this mouse for a little over one month, and am now having to install its third set of batteries. But, that's not the most annoying thing. Whenever I came to use the mouse after a period of inactivity, it takes 10-15 seconds for the mouse to "wake up". I have to use the laptop touchpad to control the cursor position and click for those first 15 seconds. (This might have something to do with the fact that I'm using the Targus mouse with a Belkin bluetooth adapter instead of the Targus adapter it came with, but I have not confirmed that.) In summary, avoid this mouse at all costs--unless you can live with swapping out the batteries every two weeks (about an hour a day usage for me--other posters have claimed only two days under heavy usage).


think I'll have any problem connecting it to my integrated bluetooth instead of the dongle? I'm not gonna let one person's review (above) sway my decision.

$29 (2-3 day shipping).. from an ebay store brand new (hopefully right? haha)

 

I don't use mine any more, but I think you'd only have that problem if you don't run it off or use it a ton. You shouldn't have any issues conenctiong with internal Bluetooth, though I'll never promise BT compatibility.

 

bleh-- oh well- ordered it anyways cuz wanted a cheap bluetooth mouse--- it was probably either gonna be this or the anycom btm-100 but i saved 15 bucks this way, lol

i really really hope the battery life is better then the reviews above

 

I think you'll be fine, let us know how you like it.

 

oh i have bluetooth integrated plus i believe the mouse glows blue if the battery is low (i think!).

 

Finally got this mouse up and running. It works great paired with my V2000z's internal bluetooth,t connects in a couple seconds after configured and the optical on it is comparable to my Logitech MX700, and $30 on Ebay aint too shabby either.

Not too sure how good the battery life is yet since it's been only a day. And also wish it had back and forward buttons (but very few notebook mice have it).
