Kensington Pocket Mouse Pro
RRP: AU$79.95
The Good: If you want to show off, the Pocket Mouse Pro might just be the Mouse for you. The main hook -- besides the small notebook-centric size -- is that the USB cord for the PocketMouse Pro resides in the body of the mouse. Press a button on the side, and a catch opens up allowing you to unspool it.
The Bad: Small mice shapes can lead to poor ergonomic usage patterns, a problem this mouse shares with the Pocket Mouse and the Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse. The cable is quite short and thin, and when in use tends to get in the way of actual mousing, as it sits to the front side of the mouse, rather than the direct front as with most normal mice.
The Verdict: It's AU$7 more than the PocketMouse, but the retractable cord has better business and packing possibilities than the travelling bag supplied with the lesser mouse. A good mouse, but still more expensive than Microsoft's alternative.
