I've trashed two other mice over the past few years. I guess carrying them around with me all the time in an often overstuffed laptop bag isn't good for the little rodents.
This one takes some time to get used to, but it works on just about any clean surface and is always available for use -- I don't have to worry about misplacing OR recharging it. I don't know what the effective battery life is like yet, but I have used it for 30 minute mousing and 2 hour presentations without having it die on me.
Installation required no drivers for Windows XP, even though the OS detected that there was a new device in the PC card slot and wanted to load a driver (the manual says that you can safely ignore this). I was up and running in just a few minutes after letting it charge in the PC card slot for a little while. Standard Bluetooth pairing was required and was seamless.
I give a fair number of presentations, and the PowerPoint integration (Presentation Mode) has worked well so far -- I always had trouble with the specialized presentation devices that used a scrolling wheel like the older Blackberry devices. This one uses the left and right mouse buttons to advance or back up through slides. I would like it a little better if there was a way to keep the device flat when in Presentation mode, but the 'kickstand' used for mouse mode is also effectively the power switch for the device.
There is no scroll wheel. Instead, you hold the middle button and move the mouse to scroll like you would with a wheel. Again, this works fine, but takes a little time to train yourself to do it that way.
When I am at the office, I generally use a 'real' mouse, but when I am on the road, I can count on this mouse being there and being easier to work with than a trackpad for Visio diagrams or complex text editing.Get more detail about Mogo Presenter Mouse Pc.
