Kensington Si750m Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse

Reviewed by Derek Meier

Installation:

After unpacking of the mouse installation is as simple as putting the singe AA battery (included) into the back of the mouse. The back of the mouse is opened easily by squeezing both rubberized sides of the mouse which reveals a compartment to place the USB receiver in when not in use and a battery compartment. This storage compartment is ideal to keep the receiver from being lost when not in use because of its diminutive size. After putting the battery and then plugging the small receiver in to an available USB port your off and running. No hassles no pairing process like you have in bluetooth your just ready for work. It does come with a fold out installation guide but its no brainer process.

Usage:

The Si750m mouse is small like the typical notebook mouse. Its small size my be uncomfortable for those with larger hands but is necessary for portability. Using the mouse can take some time to get used to due to the size if you are used to a full size desktop mouse. The rubberized grips on the side are nice to prevent slippage as well as making the mouse look nicer cosmetically. The scroll wheel works well and turns very nicely. The mouse is very responsive this is probably attributed to the laser tracking. Kensington states up to a 6 month battery life on this mouse which would seem pretty impressive being a laser mouse but unfortunately there is no way of testing if that holds true. A way to preserve power when storing is that the unit turns of automatically when the receiver is put in the storage compartment. The unit also has its own low battery light that lets you know when to replace.

All in all Kensington has put together a very nice wireless notebook mouse. The neat little storage compartment for the receiver is a definite plus. With long battery life and a simple installation this mouse is a nice addition for the notebook traveler who wants a nice small responsive wireless mouse to go along with their travels.
