    i've had this mouse for a little over a year. the batteries last, i dunno, 3-4 weeks? seems like i replace them often, but im a heavy user. also, occasionally mine is not responsive and i have to turn it off, then back on. laser is located in the back and center of the mouse. fairly accurate tracking on all surfaces.

    This mouse installed easily and works satisfactorily. If you want a bluetooth mouse, this one is worthy of consideration.

    This mouse uses AAA batteries, which I dislike. AA batteries have a much longer life, and add desirable weight and heft to the mouse. My Kensington Bluetooth Mouse uses AA batteries and this gives it a much nicer, more solid feel. And longer battery life.

    The scroll wheel on this mouse is not particularly good. It has a rough feel and if you press too hard you get that auto-scroll function when you don't really want it. My Kensington mouse, by comparison, was much less prone to accidental activation of that (not very desirable) auto-scroll feature.

    On the plus side, this mouse has a nice shape to it. It is smaller than most notebook mice, which is a plus. It does not have any lights that flash during use which seems to increase battery life and perhaps compensates for the AAA batteries.

    Overall, a decent mouse that I liked better after some use than when I first started using it. RJB.
