What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the build quality, quiet clicks, excellent scroll wheel and capable software, and find it easy to carry. Its small size is the main complaint, with Tom's Guide finding it uncomfortable for everyday use and Tom's Hardware calling it best for small hands; RTINGS and Tom's Hardware missed horizontal scrolling, and Tom's Guide found it overpriced.
