Page 2: Testing and Use, Conclusion
Testing and Use
As we said before, the mouse is rather small. It's not the most comfortable thing to use for an extended amout of time, but it gets the job done. The textured rubber grip on the side did improve the overall use; it has just enough texture to keep a good grip in place while not being too obtrusive.
The 2x button threw us off as well. Because it's textured and at a similar height as the scroll wheel, as well as being very close to the wheel, it led to a bit of confusion while in use. Sometimes we accidentally hit the scroll wheel instead of the 2x button, as they're also placed at nearly the same height. Seems a bit gimmicky to me, but another test subject found it convenient.
The 1000 DPI was satisfactory for such a small device, and with the laser technology, tracking was never a problem while in use. Because this is clearly a travel mouse, having laser is really the best option. Mousepads are annoying and inconvenient for toting, so having a mouse that will track on nearly every surface imaginable is ideal, and this mouse does just that.
Conclusion
We found this mouse to be more of a backup option for our computing needs. It's really just too small to use on a regular basis, but for travel needs, it was fulfilling. With a retail under $30, this mouse has a decent value, especially for women who just want a little feminine touch in their daily computing. The mouse is compatible with both Mac and Windows systems, including Vista. The light weight and travel bag make it easy to tote around without getting in the way, and keeping it clean at the same time.
ASE Labs would like to thank G-Cube for making this review possible.
