Review: Sleek and colourful - a nice change from dreary blacks and greys. Light enough to move easily with gentle nudges. The mouse powers down after about 5 minutes of inactivity to save the batteries; simply push the little white button to bring it back to life. I much prefer this to mice that wake when they sense the smallest of vibrations as accidental knocks causes my sleeping PC to wake too and it sounds like a hovercraft. I didn't notice this button mentioned on the packaging - I thought the batteries had died and stumbled across its function. I've had the same batteries in all week and still going strong. The mouse wheel doesn't feel as "classy" as more expensive models but I bought this because the wheel on my more expensive model stopped working. Works from 20 feet, maybe further but I'd have to go into the garden and it's raining. I've also got an Accuratus pink USB wired keyboard. Dull hardware needn't look dull. For the money this mouse gets a thumbs up.
