What reviewers say

Reviewers find it light, well built and smooth-gliding, with long battery life from a single AA or AAA cell and a choice of Bluetooth or USB receiver; RTINGS measured superb click latency. Its small size suits small and medium hands best, according to RTINGS and Tom's Hardware; Tom's Hardware regretted it isn't rechargeable, and RTINGS noted there is no Mac software.
