Great little mouse! Works with Vista (32bit).
(5 out of 5) by B. T. Denyer on Jan 18, 2006 (Midwest, United States)It's cool to look at AND functional -- how often does that happen?
Things I noticed:
- I simply plugged it into the USB port; Windows found it and it worked instantly and flawlessly!
- The wheel has good grip on it (unlike my last Targus mouse.)
- When it is just sitting there, the 7 colours fade in and out. Now, I was thinking this would be distracting and too bright, but I found that they are actually soft and subtle. It so "Mac" (I have no other way to describe it.)
- The sensitivity seems to be higher/better than my previous mouse. But, I would rather have to turn down the sensitivity than have to turn it up (only to find it's at the max already.)
- As the colours rotate through, they stop rotating when you use the mouse, and resume when you stop.
If you are looking for a travel mouse, or one that will make other coworkers jealous, this mouse is for you. Even though one of the two I purchased died after a year (no reason; just gave up the ghost one night) I would still HIGHLY recommend this mouse!

TARGUS KALIEDOSCOPE OPTICAL MOUSE W/7 CLEAR FOG LIGHTS
(5 out of 5) by M. A. Downing on Jan 20, 2008 (Clarkesville, GA)This fun little light-up USB mouse came with the laptop I got my grandson for his birthday, but I saw it first. Too bad. I spend hours on my laptop at work each day and this "mini-mouse" is much kinder to my arthritic hands than the larger standard one.
Not quite perfect
(4 out of 5) by S.T.L. on Oct 20, 2007 (Chapel Hill, NC USA)I was looking for a small low profile mouse similiar to the one that came with my Mac but for a smaller than Mac price. The feel is good but the drawback is the stiff cord. The cord is way too inflexible and gets caught and yanked as I use it- very annoying.
Great Product confortable fit
(5 out of 5) by E. Gonzalez on Aug 8, 2007 (San Francisco)So not even the Targus website does justice to this mouse. I was expecting a matte black mouse but turns out its super glossy and very confortable to the hand it has very nice contours for being a simple mouse. For 20 bucks this is definetly a good buy
Great Mice
(5 out of 5) by The Huntress of Gotham on Jul 21, 2007 (San Diego, CA USA)I have both the laptop and desktop versions of this mouse, and they are wonderful. Responsive and fun to watch LOL.
