Customer Review: Basic Notebook Mouse With Narcolepsy
Summary: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
There are as many opinions about mice as there are hands to fit them, so it is always a bit tricky to review them. To give you some context, I will begin by telling you the type of mouse I prefer, which is medium sized and simple. For example, the standard Microsoft USB mouse fits my hand perfectly. The larger premium optical mice from Logitech are a bit clunky for me, and all of the navigation buttons tend to get in my way more than help, though the scroll wheels and buttons are excellent.
The Verbatim 96781 is similar in width to a standard desktop mouse, but the rear is chopped off, leaving no wrist support. I have been stress testing it at work and have found that I can adjust to this, but it is not ideal. However, this is a notebook mouse and not really meant for primary computer use, leaving this trade-off in size vs. function very understandable. If you are used to notebook mice, I think you will find the size a very good compromise, as opposed to the somewhat painful skinny mice.
The primary selling point in the promotions for this mouse is the USB dongle. Indeed, it is as small as it could possibly be without requiring a tool for removal. This is a natural progression of the ever decreasing dongle size and a welcome change. Will you, as they say, be able to leave it plugged in all the time? That depends on your laptop case. The dongle still protrudes from the side and might still snag if you have a hard case that perfectly fits the laptop. Otherwise, I think it would be fine to leave it in during transport.
The scroll wheel is very average in feel and the buttons feel decently "clicky." This is certainly a cut above the ultra cheap no-name mice you might have had the misfortune of using in the past, with decent construction. The dongle can be housed within the mouse, as is the standard for most mice now. The range is very good, despite the diminutive size. In terms of aesthetics, the mouse looks completely generic and should match most electronics, mimicking the Dell look. However, I am basing this on the black and grey color scheme. Other colors will likely catch your fancy if you are looking to make a statement without going out on too much of a limb.
Connecting the mouse and setting it up is all very simple and automatic. However, after using the mouse during regular work, I have run into one major annoyance: the thing falls asleep like a narcoleptic. Many wireless mice automatically go into a sleep mode after a predetermined period of time, requiring a button press to wake them up. This is a good feature, as it extends battery life without the use of an on/off button, which most forget to use. However, this little guy falls asleep far too fast. The included literature even mentions this short delay. What that means is that if you are doing a task that requires you to stop using the mouse periodically, the mouse will just seem to stop working. This could be especially problematic if you are giving a presentation and talking between each slide. Waking up the mouse with a click of either button is simple, but the sleep time really should be much longer.
In conclusion, the Verbatim 96781 Nano Wireless mouse is a solid mouse that will work well for most notebook purposes. The range is good, the dongle is impressively small, and the construction, while not remarkable, is suitable for the price range. If you can look past the compressed shape and bedtime habits, it is a very solid buy.
