Gadget of the Week
Kensington Si750m Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse
Pros
Uses laser for even greater precision and fluidity in use than conventional optical
Wireless operation
Micro small dimensions make this mouse very pocketable
Stylish appearance
Nice flip open door allows storage of the mini wireless USB adaptor
Storing the mini wireless USB adaptor in the mouse automatically switches off the mouse
Five year warranty as standard
Also available in a pink Si750 LE version in support of the Breast Cancer Campaign
Cons
Small size makes operation somewhat less comfortable particularly for larger hands
Left and right mouse buttons require a little more pressure than I would like
No case provided so mouse could be scratched or damaged in transit
Consumes batteries
Plug in wireless receiver takes up a potentially valuable USB port on your computer unlike those that utilise for example Bluetooth
The 2.4GHz frequency utilised could suffer from interference to or by other 2.4Ghz devices
The MouseWorks software needed to configure the mouse isnt provided on a disk with the mouse, instead it has to be downloaded
Price: c £25 inc. VAT
Star Rating: 7 Stars A good notebook mouse, particularly well suited to female (smaller) hands
