What reviewers say
Macworld and Bare Feats praised the comfortable sculpted shape, accurate tracking and adaptable wheels for office and creative work. Macworld missed Bluetooth because the receiver takes a USB port; Bare Feats considered the 800 DPI sensor modest next to contemporary high-resolution mice.
