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
Though this is not as comfortable as the Logitech V220 model (or higher), this is a good mouse. Unlike the V220 (and higher) series mice, this one lacks a ‘rubberized’ and contoured feel that may appeal to people who would use a mouse for extended periods or require a more tactile feedback and weight of the mouse. Additionally, the USB transmitter is quite large, about the size of a wide USB flash drive, and may be inconvenient as it may block closely-spaced USB ports on a laptop. As it is, though, this mouse is highly sensitive and of good quality and tracks as well as any mouse I have ever owned. If the size of the USB transmitter and the tactile-feel of the mouse is not an issue, this is a good budget alternative to the higher-end Logitech wireless mice.
I’m a big aficionado of “quiet” mice. The scroll-wheel is nearly silent, which is nice. The buttons are a bit loud and clacky – a feature which could be improved with any computer mouse, in my opinion.
This mouse is seamlessly Macintosh compatible, as long as you download and install the Logitech Control Center. From there, you can customize the mouse settings to your liking. The Logitech ‘left and right’ scrolling is ingenious, and is a much better design than the Apple Mighty Mouse. It is much easier to use and learn, and having the 2-button design of the Logitech Mini Optical Mouse is certainly and advantage over the Apple Mighty Mouse.

This was recommended to me at a dog park. Just in time. My German Shepherd shed plentifully in the hot weather. Didn’t like me combing out the undercoat. The Ferminator goes through gently and smoothly and my dog was compliant. Massive amounts of hair came out, leaving him looking sleek and shiny. Great buy.

Add me to the list of satisfied customers for this product. I’ve used the cup to my nuvi, but was shelved in favor of the friction device. I often move my Nuvi between cars, making it a very easy process. There are enough grip on the mountain to prevent sliding and sufficient for adequate finger pressure on the touch screen to make selections without disrupting the GPS position. You can rotate the shaft 360 degrees, and even remove the stem to facilitate packaging, if you’re a traveler like me who use the nüvi into different rental cars.

I found this product to be fairly easy to use and it did a top notch job of cleaning my soiled carpets. The only drawback was that it was not able to cover a very large area of the carpet because the tank capacities were on the small side. Of course this made the unit smaller, lighter and easier to manuver so it also was a plus.

I have not yet gotten this to work. It worked for 10 minutes and stopped. Wish that I had not bought on line.
Have another Hoover and it works well – but not this one.

My husband and I did a lot of research for a bike for our 4 1/2 year old daughter. We wanted something that was strong, safe, and durable but pretty too. Everywhere we looked it was barbie this and princess that, which don’t get me wrong, my daughter loves them too but when is enough…enough already! We got the bike the other day and pulled it from it’s box to find that there weren’t many directions but the bike was practically already assembled. What little assembly left to do was quite simple with our without directions. Once put together it is obvious that the quality is pure Diamondback. My husband and I both have owned our own Diamondbacks in the past and have always loved their products. This bike is even cuter in person than in pictures! We are thrilled and can’t wait to see her face on Christmas morning.
Diamondback Mini Della Cruz
My son is 2 1/2 and likely on the small end of a possible glider rider. With the seat at it’s lowest position he can use it comfortably. It’s not perfect but the glider is excellent.
Pros:
Light Weight (I was carrying it home for quite a while before he got comfortable on it)
Price – While it’s not super cheap, it is less than competing products made from aluminum.
Easy to build – Excellent instructions but very few steps
Tires are perfect, they have some give over rough pavement but don’t flat. I’m told you can add real air tubes if you want.
Grips provide safety on their ends. My son has one bruise anyway but if they weren’t well padded, they could really hurt a child. These are well padded.
Did I mention light weight ? The steel ones weigh more than my son.
Cons: These are mostly minor and more relative to my own son.
Rear brake of limited use – My son is small enough that he hasn’t yet figured this part out but even adjusted well, it’s not as effective as most bike brakes.
Wide rear wheel – With the brake there, the rear axle is a bit wide. My son frequently jambs his foot on it when he’s pushing off. He seems to take pains to avoid that now but if it without the brake it would be better were it a simple, narrow as possible rear wheel. I’ve even thought of putting some type of narrower nut. I’m sure the round topped ones are safer but they make the problem worse by sticking out more.
Foot pegs get in the way – These may be great for larger kids but my son had real trouble with them. At first he tried to pedal with them like on his trike. Then they just impeded his feet. He seems to be used to them now but if they were detachable, I’d do it (of course that would make it heavier).
Not much wear protection from falling over. This thing will fall over a lot with and without your kid. I assume the seat is going to get scraped up pretty badly. The grips are already a bit chewed up and the back of the frame a bit dinged. In a perfect
