Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse
RRP:AU$69.95
The Good: Microsoft's entry into the teeny-tiny mouse market has a better overall shape than the similar Kensington offerings. The buttons and scroll wheel are also better situated and more responsive.
The Bad: The Notebook Optical mouse cable is about half the length of that of the Kensington Pocket Mouse, which could be an issue if you're using a larger laptop or need to use it with a desktop. While the overall shape is better, long term use of a mouse this small isn't a good idea from an ergonomics standpoint.
The Verdict: While it's the best of the small mice we've reviewed here, we still have our reservations about anyone thinking of long term usage. As long as you're only going to be using a mouse in very small doses, then the Notebook Optical Mouse is the best (and cheapest) option available.
