Advantages: Plugs in easily

Disadvantages: Clogs up easily

I've had this little mouse for ages now, and I don't know what I'd do without it. I use it with my laptop, because I find that using the touch pad is clumsy, and the mouse is a perfect replacement.

When you plug it into the USB port, it takes just a few seconds to start working. It's easy to use. Occasionally the bottom gets clogged with dust, which causes the cursor on screen to get 'stuck' slightly. This can be annoying, but its not difficult to just pull whatever is obstructing it out, and this always solves the problem quickly.

I think the size of it is a huge bonus, as I often have a messy desk. It takes up very little room, and the size isn't a problem for me when clicking even though I have massive hands!

The retractable cord doesn't cause any problems once you've worked out how to use it (took me a little while, I have to admit!) although I can't really pull out any huge advantages for having it there. Maybe if you placed your laptop a long way away...? I guess having the word 'retractable' in the product name just sounds a little more impressive!
