Advantages: Build Quality, Ease of Use

Disadvantages: Recieving Capability (From Distance)

I bought this product when I found the touch pad on my laptop was becoming a pain to use (it was purchased from Currys: excellent service).
The package includes the mouse (including batterys) as well as a reciever. I found that the reciever can pick up the mouse from over 10 meters away, however the clicking function of the mouse only really work from about 5 meters away (I have no idea why this is). Another thing to add is that the reciever has trouble connecting with the mouse if it is on a different height level.
The mouse has 5 clicking buttons aswell as a wheel. The extra buttons and wheel work really well with the internet as they allow for easy web-page browsing.
The battery life of the mouse seems to be really long as I have only had to change the battery once in six months. The reciever will let you know when the batterys are running down with a pop-up window.
Finally the precision of the mouse can be configurated with the CD that is supplied, but for me it was fine straight off (plug and play).
Overall i would recommend this product, even though the recieving distance is a bit suspect it is still a good product and worth a look at if your considering buying a wireless mouse for your computer.
