An infrared mouse with inferred directions
(3 out of 5) by Tiffany Mitchell on Jan 22, 2009 (Seattle, WA)The mouse itself is fine for a laptop. It's small, precise, and responds well. It's a classic "plug and play" style with no directions and limited literature online. The complications with this product occur in the second time that you use it. Every time your computer shuts down, the signal for the USB receiver resets itself. This isn't a huge issue if you store the USB receiver in the mouse (there's a storage spot just under the iMicro logo. When you go to use it again, you simply press the small round button underneath the click wheel, and the USB stick pops out. The mouse powers ups, and voila: your two pieces should be synchronized.
The problem is that some people are not going to pull out the USB stick and put it in the mouse. I sure didn't. Thinking that I needed a software update, I went online and looked for anything that I could on this product. I found no help whatsoever. It was just by accident that I saw the storage spot in the mouse itself (what can I say...this is my first wireless laptop mouse).
If it is not used constantly, the mouse will go into a sleep mode...so once in a while I'll notice a slight lag in its response time. I must emphasize that this lag is "slight".
All in all: I like the mouse, but I hate the lack of information on it.

AAA Batteries NOT included
(4 out of 5) by G. Mele on Jul 30, 2009 (Charlotte, NC)Finally discovered that the back top of the mouse slides off (note 3 ridges behind top button). 2 AAA batteries later, works fine. Not sure what the bottom button does or the button the the USB part. Store USB piece inside the rear of the mouse to keep them in sync. Battery life to be determined.

stinks
(1 out of 5) by J. Kim on Jan 20, 2009 (Boston, MA)I got the mouse over a week ago and this mouse worked at first, but stopped working after the first use. After a 1/2 hour of playing around with the pairing buttons, I finally got it to work. But, it stopped working again the next day. I changed the batteries numerous times, so that isn't the issue.
