Anyone who uses a laptop for work will know that the mouse on the device gets extremely frustrating to use and irritates your finger after a while. Therefore carrying a mini mouse such as the USB connecting optical one that Sweex produce is a good idea.

Personally I have two of these, one that I use and one for a spare that I keep at home. I bought two as I knew Sweex was a brand known for making cheap products - but therefore the products were of cheap quality. I needn't have bothered, there is really nothing wrong with this mouse. It isn't cheaply made and feels as solid as any other brand that I have used.

The mouse itself is extremely small and at first will feel strange to those people used to using only a full sized mouse, it will seem like the cursor is shooting super fast around the screen. But you will get used to it.

The mouse simply connects via the USB port of a computer or laptop and works straight away, I have used it with Windows 7, XP and Ubuntu - I assume therefore that it works with Windows Vista and other forms of Linux.

I advise that you get one of these if you use a laptop for work, or simply for those of you who use a laptop an awful lot.
