Kensington Ci75m Wireless Notebook Mouse

Kensington is known for its travel friendly products ranging from iPod accessories to pen drives. The new range of travel mice from Kensington hold a lot of promise. The mouse has wireless connectivity which is the need of the hour. The mouse combines style with functionality giving the users a perfect laptop mouse.

The mouse is attractively priced at just around $30 which is on the lower side when compared to other wireless notebook mice. The USB receiver of the Ci75m is of a similar size as that of a pen drive and it snaps into the bottom of the mouse, an essential part of making the mouse portable. The receiver when snapped into the mouse covers the optical sensor and turns it off, nice thinking there from Kensington!

If you are looking for a no-frill mouse, then this is your best choice, the price might have already given you an indication. The mouse has only the three basic buttons : left,right and scroll wheel. So if you do not care much about buttons and features, this seems quite a good option.

Talking about the ergonomics of the mouse, it does not compare to the high standards of various Logitech and Microsoft mice but it won’t strain your hands either. It will take time getting used to the feel of the mouse, and after that it should work smoothly for you. The small size is convenient enough to store it in small places too. You can also use the mouse with wires using the included 25 inches long wire. This is great if you run out of battery in middle of an important assignment. The resolution is high enough for precise and accurate movement of the cursor. Overall a good performer.

Pros :

• Slim and stylish
• Dual connectivity
• Good performance
• Inexpensive

Cons :

• Not too ergonomic
• No extra buttons

Final Thoughts

The Kensington Ci75m Wireless Notebook Mouse is an inexpensive wireless mouse for your laptop. Its slim and stylish, making it good for travel purposes. Don’t expect much functionality out of it but it offers good performance for the price.

My Rating : 3.5/5
