I got this mouse to use with an Asus 1005PE Netbook and it exceeds expectations. I had it up and running in both Windows 7 and Ubuntu/Linux within minutes. The included directions are predictably bad so I threw them away, inserted batteries and was off and running using the Netbook’s built in Bluetooth. It shows up as a standard HID mouse so it uses standard drivers in both Windows and Ubuntu and no software install needed. The mouse itself is light and feels a bit fragile but build quality is decent. I find that it tracks well on a variety of both glossy and textured surfaces and have used it on my work desk, granite kitchen counters and as well as some atypical surfaces like an ultra-suede couch cushion (next to me while I am in front of the TV) and even my jeans pant leg and it works suprisingly well. I keep my Netbook in sleep mode when I am not using it so the mouse powers off automatically after 5 mins and my battery life has been fine so far. It seems to pair back up very quickly when I start back up. Overall, you can’t beat it for the price. I am going to buy another one to use on my work laptop.
Update: the price of this item seems to have more that doubled since I bought one a short time ago. Mine was sold by “gigacity” and fulfilled by Amazon but they seem to be replaced by a new vendor. Search around Amazon and you should be able to find this item for a price in the low teens.
Mini Bluetooth Wireless Notebook
This cute pink headset looks good but fits and works just ok. Problem is that when you drive in the car on the highway, it’s too noisy so you have to push the piece up closer to your ear. If you’re just going to use it in the office or at home, it works great. I use my phone the most in the car so this isn’t the best for that purpose.
