This review is from: Targus Cord-Storing Optical Mouse AMU76US (Black with Gray) (Personal Computers)

This is a nice, little device that I bought from CompUSA. There are three things that I like about this unit:

1. The device is comfortable to use. It is neither too short nor too long for the hand. It fits my hand just right.

2. It has a retractable cord, and the USB connector can be stored underneath the unit (making for no loose, dangling wires). This is a convienent feature when I store it away between uses.

3. It doesn't need a battery, as it is a USB powered device. That means I never have to worry about it running out of power just when I need it the most.

I'm very satisfied with this product, and I would recomment it for the above reasons.

My husband, a programmer, uses this mouse at work. I teach online from home (the couch is my office, basically), and my cordless mouse kept falling off the lap desk that holds my laptop. So, he purchased this mouse for me. The mouse is comfortable to use. It is designed for both left- and right-hand users. The scroll wheel is sensitive (and without the typical click-sound when scrolling) to the right degree. I love the retractable cord; the length of the cord is adjustable. My husband has been using his at work for several years; all components still work well. Overall, I recommend this mouse as a comfortable, reliable mouse.

I've used this mouse for about a week now. It is just as expected; a portable USB mouse with a retractable cord. It is precise and works well with anything, even casual gaming. The retraction mechanism works almost every time. Sometimes it stops and I need to feed a little of the cord into the slot to get it to start retracting again. Other than that, it's comfortable and works as advertised.
