Feels like a smaller version of a MX5187/22/2009 4:06:01 PM
Pros: Comfortable
Sturdy Construction
Smaller than a regular mouse but not too small
Tracks good for wireless
Nano receiver great for laptops
Cons: No Drivers. As others have indicated, I cannot remap the thumb buttons.
Overall Review: If anyone has some generic drivers for Vista that would allow for remapping of the mouse buttons I think alot more of these would sell. Rosewill Rep? Anyone?
Pros: nano receiver, battery saver on off switch, dual dpi settings, the plastic slides on the bottom are SUPER durable and slippery
Cons: buttons are not user changeable
Overall Review: Rosewill pay attention here! Make the buttons on this user changeable and triple your sales! in fact you do that and I'll purchase one for my desktop. I'm liking Rosewill products the more I purchase them. I always check rose products when looking for PC products .I like the front button being the back button. the way my hand rest on the mouse, the position is easier to press than having to curl my thumb way back
Pros: Incredible little mouse. Works perfectly, has the option of switching between 1,600 and 800dpi. Great feel and size.
Cons: If anything, then batteries last a few months... Not too short, but not impressively long either. But I do use the computer all the time.
Overall Review: If it dies on you and even with a new battery it still doesn't work, go to their website and look up the manual because all that happened is the frequency got reset on the mouse. To resync the receiver and the mouse, and to change the frequency due to interference, with the new battery in place, turn the mouse off, hold both the right and left mouse buttons simultaneously, and then turn the mouse on within a foot of the receiver, wait until the dongle stops flashing within a few seconds, and you're all set.
Best Nano you can buy for the money!9/29/2009 7:55:01 AM
Pros: - Perfect feel and design
- Very precise
- Nano receiver can be left in for travel etc.
- Excellent battery life
- Solid feel to it (the spine of it is matte so it doesn't show prints and has a non-slip feel to it)
- Button location is perfect
Cons: - Non tilt on the wheel
Overall Review: Excellent mouse. I was considering the Logitech 550 but wanted to see what I thought of this for nearly half the price. I am extremely satisfied, and continue to be with Rosewill product.
Eggsellent work NewEgg.
Pros: It has very smooth tracking and is very comfortable in your hands. It's smaller than I pictured it, but the height makes up for it. I absolutely love the nano-receiver.
Cons: If left on, it goes into a sleep mode. It takes awhile to wake-up and start moving the mouse cursor. I understand it's to save battery life, but...
Overall Review: Even with the slight delay to "wake-up", it's a fantastic mouse with GREAT features. You also cannot beat the price.

Excellent Mouse7/29/2009 9:11:38 PM
Pros: Very good mouse for the money. It responds well, has decent range, is built solid. This mouse is perfect for me. The Nano receiver is what really sold me. It is barely noticable on the laptop that I am using. The receiver is so small and only protudes out from the USB port approximately 1/8 inch. I like the color of the mouse also. Very solid built.
Cons: Not really a con, but as another reviewer stated the 1600 DPI was a little to sensitive for me. I set mine at 800 DPI and it works perfect for me. Just remember, in order to toggle between the 1600 or 800 DPI, Click the Middle Scroll button down and simultaneously press the Left upper "Click" button.
Overall Review: It also comes with a zippered case for you to carry your mouse with. Side buttons are reversed - but who cares, everything else works perfect. The mouse is well constructed and is comfortable to use.

Good price7/23/2009 6:50:09 AM
Pros: Laser mouse, so it tracks on more surfaces than an optical. I was use it on the arm of a couch with good results. Pretty responsive. Good size & weight. No drivers/software needed for install (on Ubuntu 8.10 & XP). Power switch on bottom for battery savings.
Nano receiver is awesome.
Cons: The side buttons are backwards from what you would expect. The back button goes forward in a browser, and the front button goes back. I've never used them much anyways, so it's not enough to bring it down to 4 eggs.
Overall Review: For the price, you can't beat it. It's half the price of any other laser mouse with a nano receiver. I can deal with backwards thumb buttons if I'm only paying 20 bucks.
Using it with a Asus 1000HE netbook.
Pros: Comfortable Sturdy Construction Smaller than a regular mouse but not too small Tracks good for wireless Nano receiver great for laptops
Cons: No Drivers. As others have indicated, I cannot remap the thumb buttons.
Overall Review: If anyone has some generic drivers for Vista that would allow for remapping of the mouse buttons I think alot more of these would sell. Rosewill Rep? Anyone?
