Most Helpful First | Newest First (5 out of 5)Great little mouse! Works with Vista (32bit).
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!
(5 out of 5)Add a little color to your day!
This mouse was everything I expected. I totally believe that you need to add a little color to every part of your day and why not while clicking away!
(5 out of 5)It's cool just sitting there. And works with Vista (32bit) too!

It's the size of a credit card, and weights only 2.5 oz (71 grams.)

- In the design traditon of the new Mac products, this mouse is a nice steel grey with a very slick, polished surface that feels nice. The buttons are nice, too.

(5 out of 5)Great Mice
I have both the laptop and desktop versions of this mouse, and they are wonderful. Responsive and fun to watch LOL.
(5 out of 5)Great Product confortable fit
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
