REVIEW: Kensington PilotMouse Mini Bluetooth

http://kensington.com/html/6367.html

Now this is a good travel mouse if you're looking for a bluetooth mouse for your built-in bluetooth-enabled laptop. It's got a switch at the bottom of it that allows for powering down the mouse when mobile. It's got nice rubber grips on the side of the mouse, without making it look ugly. It's optical and got a right and left mouse button (for all you Mac fans out there looking for a bluetooth mouse) along with the "can't go without it these days" scroll wheel, which also works as a 3rd middle button. These days so many mice have extra buttons for other uses and it would have been nice to have something extra on this one too. But, I think this might take away from the basic uses and design of this mouse.

To sum up, if you're looking for a bluetooth mouse that has all the "basic" uses of today's mouse and require something small enough to travel, yet large enough for you to not get carpal tunnel from one use of it, then this is your mouse.

Note: Still working with it and am planning on testing it with a Powerbook to see how well it works on a Mac.
