5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Mouse, highly recommend!.......2007-10-03

I have had this mouse for nearly a year and love it. I bought one for my boss at the same time who shares my opinion. She just came to ask if I would find another one for her new home PC, so I found myself here on Amazon. Seeing the reviews I thought I would add my own.

Problems? We purchased mouse pads specifically for "optical Mouse" use. they are slightly "slick" and much thinner than usual mouse pads. So, no jitter or erratic behavior because we are using a surface meant for this kind of mouse. Don't use the original pads meant for rollers, they have rough surfaces for traction! That simply doesn't work with optical mice, therefore the skipping problem some users have experienced. I can tell this is why one user found a sheet of paper worked so well.

Change your mousepad, you will find this is one of the most reliable and comfortable wireless units available, and a reasonable price. Tip, the USB remote sensor needs to be in the front of your PC so it can communicate, otherwise yes, it can give you problems. I believe this is addressed in the instructions for those who read them. No squeek, this mouse rocks!

1 out of 5 stars Terrible. Do not buy........2007-09-16

I've owned this mouse for a few months and I outright hate it. The thing goes into sleep mode after 20 mins, which you would think would be a good thing to save the battery, but it takes FOREVER for the thing to wake when you want to use it. Congrats Kensington, you robbed me of my 30 bucks but it will be the last money you get from me. Oh yeah and when it did wake, it was jittery and difficult to use on any surface. Total JUNK!

3 out of 5 stars Nice mouse with some limitations.......2007-08-17

The feel of the mouse is excellent. The textured materials on the sides and the weight of the mouse make it a pleasure to use. I have been using this mouse for a year and have never had jitter problems as mentioned in another review, but I have had several surface problems as has been mentioned. This mouse just doesn't like some surfaces.
Another big problem that I have notced: if you are using this next to someone using a Microsoft Wireless mouse, this one gets completely overriden by the MS signal causing erratic pointer movement or no movement.
Overall though, this has been a pleasure to use and I recommend it.

1 out of 5 stars Worst Mouse Ever.......2007-08-04

Don't waste your money. I use it on a Mac it has a range of 6 inches usually it loses the connection. It's jittery and inaccurate driving you nuts. Tends not to be recognized and the battery life is extremely short.
It's not worth the money

5 out of 5 stars Kensington 72314 PilotMouse Mini Wireless Mouse (PC/Mac).......2007-01-29

I bought this mouse because I travel and it is so convenient to be able to slide the usb adapter into the mouse. This is the second one that I have purchased. I gave the first one to my son.

          5 out of 5 stars Another Great Apple Product.......2007-07-23

          Got a used PB G4 12" and couldn't be more pleased with it. I run both Tiger and iLife '06 on it without any issues, though iLife programs run slower than on my very fast desktop machine. The previous reviewer bashes Apple, but AppleCare is available to anyone who purchases a computer from them. I have always purchased AppleCare and have never found it to be useless. It is a very smart "insurance" policy for your computer that lasts for 3 years.

          1 out of 5 stars Review for a New PB G4.......2007-07-19

          I bought a new 12 in PB G4 about 18 months ago from Amazon. I was very pleased with their timely shipping and also quite happy with the computer when I first received it.

          However, about two months ago I lost trackpad sensitivity. When I called AppleCare about it, they informed me that I should have bought the extended warranty since "even Mercedes can have problems with them..." So, you spend about $1,200 on a computer and then shell out another $200 to keep it running for two more years??? I have decided to take care of the issue by using a bluetooth mouse but I do notice that the computer gets hot and the trackpad stops working; I shut it down and let it cool off and things are fine again. Seems to be a common problem on the apple forums so I am clearly not the only one. The overheating is also affecting RAM (could not save a document one time and had to save it on to Google documents and re-start); and start-up (computer refused to start up several times one day) -- so it makes me think this is some sort of a heat issue -- faulty temperature sensor? faulty fan?? I do not know but I am not sure I will buy a second Mac to find out either.
