I ordered the Kensington SlimBlade wireless mouse about a month ago and have been pleased overall with the product. It is built well, has quiet clicks and works perfect with no drivers or other software. The reason I ordered the SlimBlade was to use with my Asus EEE 1000HA netbook, which I have OSX and Windows XP installed. I use the netbook for note taking in class and having a micro receiver and small mouse that “just worked” were important factors. Needless to say, it does “just work” on both my OSX Hackint0sh, and my other Windows Vista laptop.

The reason I gave a 4/5 was the size of the mouse itself. I’m not sure if i was just hasty in my purchase or mistaken in my perception of the mouse’s size, but I expected the mouse to be somewhat larger. It isn’t so much a draw back, but for someone with larger hands, it takes some getting used to. I would absolutely recommend this for anyone looking for a small, mobile mouse that works each time, every time, but would just like to raise the point of the size of the mouse.

It seems a little stiff to start — but get rid of your mouse pad and it works great. It fits well in your hand and travels well. Just slip it in your laptop case and it barely makes a lump. ALL MICE SHOULD HAVE NANO RECEIVERS SO YOU CAN PLUG THE NANO IN AND LEAVE IT.

Needed a small wireless mouse for my small hands. These are small alright, really small and way flat. Also tracks way too fast for the kind of work I do. It was obviously designed solely for convenience for mobility and not for lengthy use. Design form over function = bad. Regretfully must return.

This product gave me bad impression. I purchased it on 04/19/2009, and now it already died. The mouse pointer did not move on the monitor when I tried to move this wireless mouse. It totally freezes.

Really, who the hell packages these things should get the biggest pink slip ever. Bought 2, both had dead batteries. WTF.

Can’t give the mouse an objective review except for first impressions. Really sucks the BIG one

Give Kensington a F minus and beyond. Give Kensington less than one point of a single star.

Here’s to you Kensington: ^|^.

Need an interpretation?

It’s the largest finger Amazon allows.

Really pissed off.

Idiots.

For those thinking about this mouse: make up your mind.
