Its LED sensor requires the use of a mat, otherwise expect it to get jumpy (worsens with the shininess of the surface). It doesn't like fast movements (it won't go beyond 1.2 m/s, while in gaming, movements are often at 3 m/s). It communicates positioning to the computer 125 times a second and not 1000, like others do, but by now we don't really give a damn.
On the positive side: sometimes your budget mice get pretty unstable and communicate positioning at irregular intervals. Here, it's perfectly stable. Exactly at 125 Hz.
The Micro Mouse has its name for a reason. It measures just 7.5 cm long, while a notebook mouse is usually at least 9 cm and longer models 13 cm. But what impresses you on this budget mouse is that even when we crushed 70 Kg down on the top of it, it wasn't affected. Resistant or what!
Basic: no buttons on the sides
Tiny, you have to hold it with the tips of your fingers. It is made for netbooks, and children.
Let's forget the technical side for a moment - for that, check out the inset. Its strengths are its panoply of colour options and motifs and... its resistance!
It will resist any attack, even the most violent!
Rather than testing such a technically basic product in the usual way or giving it to it's clientele (children) and letting them put it through its paces, I simply stood my 70 Kg on top of it.Once... twice...
The first time I stood on it flat. The second, I put my weight on its side. All my weight. Micraculous - it survived! Not even a crack! Next I tugged on the cable like a maniac: it stayed in place and still works. Unexpected, I admit...
For those accident prone users among you: this cheap mouse should stand-up to pretty much anything you can throw at it!
