Bluetooth Thumb Roller Mouse

In a touch screen digital world, switching from Logitech MX Master mouse to Kensington Expert felt like going Back to the Future. I gave myself 7 days to work only on Kensington Expert Mouse. The tactile feedback of a large ball turned out to be extremely satisfying experience. The feature I've used the most on MX Mater, and I thought I would not have on Expert Mouse was a thumb-wheel function, which was setup to switch between the 3 virtual desktop screens I have on my Mac. Quickly I've discovered that the top buttons on the Expert Mouse are perfect replacement for my MX master thumb-wheel. I've also programmed top buttons to run Expose when pressed simultaneously - the feature I used on MX Mater with a thumb button. Now the biggest issue was a middle mouse click.. but it turned out to be as simple as programming two bottom buttons acting as the one, when pressed both at the same time. The big bonus is that if one needs to use buttons to perform different actions, one can do so. Kensington software allows per application button customization. I would consider all mentioned above as pros for this product.. now few if any cons - the scroll ring needs a redesign. At first I thought that I may have a faulty item, but watching couple of videos on the internet, I've found out that that gritty feeling is due to the ring design implementation. It's true.. the grittiness fades with use, but it's still far cry from a silk-smooth operation of MX Master scroll wheels. Minor cons is a somewhat high profile of the Expert Mouse. I have a large hand, so this is no issue for me at all. I'm looking forward to get the Kensington SlimBlade, which in my mind would eliminate high profile and gritty scroll ring. Overall.. if your desk keyboard/mouse space is limited, or you want to discover what you were missing all these years, using regular mouse - trackballs are way to go. Especially if you have a full size keyboard. Excellent product - highly recommended.

Good Bluetooth mouse for use with laptop.

I first bought the Apple Magic Mouse. It was not at all what I expected. I'm sure it is a good mouse, but not worth nearly $75 dollars. Part of the magic is that it doesn't have a roller for scrolling... it uses your finger across the top of the mouse instead. I prefer the roller. I set the Apple Magic Mouse at the fastest speed, and it was still too slow. I had to move the mouse across the entire pad to get the curser to move a few inches. The MS Surface Mouse performs great, feels comfortable in the hand, and at a good speed.

In spite of its shortcomings, the Magic Mouse is still the best Bluetooth mouse for the Mac.

Works very well, I am not big fan of Bluetooth mouse

Bought for use at work. I have issues with the thumb on my right hand and this mouse has helped reduce the pain associated with that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This computer mouse is a great addition for my teleworking commute. No more wired mouse. The mouse itself is a great shape and sits comfortably in my hand. Love that it has the laser roller on the bottom instead of the old school roller which often collected lint and dust. Obviously it’s easy to operate and install.

I had the non plus model of the roller mouse with the smaller wrist rest and this larger version took it to whole new level, I highly recommend!

This is my third Mac mouse. The preview two used Apple's clever, tiny roller ball. One was wired, the other wireless. They worked fine when new but over time the roller ball suffered as all mice roller balls due because of lint, dirt, dust, etc. They stops rolling. Worse, Apple's roller ball cannot be cleaned and eventually has to be recycled. (I took one apart to prove this to myself.) The new Magic mouse uses no roller ball. In fact it has no moving parts at all! No orifices to become clogged, no cleaning to do. Instead, it uses trackpad-like technology. Users drag one or two fingers across the surface for different scrolling effects, and click the left or right side for a traditional left or right click. The Magic mouse fits comfortably in hand and is delightfully handsome, just as you'd expect from Apple. It runs off AA batteries which appear to last longer. And, of course, it is wireless. Setup was easy and efficient. No surprise. The Magic mouse works flawlessly with or without an optical mouse pad and seems gentle on surfaces (should you be using a nice wooden desk, e.g.). My only complaint is the price. But you come to tolerate higher prices from Apple because their products are superior. And that, I figure, is only fair.

I didn't like the Apple bluetooth mouse so I bought this one and it works just fine.
