doesn't work very well 
2008-10-06
I wanted to like this mouse, and have used a similar one from Kensington with great success for years, but for some reason it just doesn't work very well and is a great disappointment. Now I have to go out and buy another brand of the same thing just to get work done! It's way way too jumpy, on any number of surfaces I tried. It keeps releasing the item I've selected too soon so the amount of clicking and dragging I have to do just to get one thing done has been increased tenfold. It jumps the cursor all over the screen when my hand is just sitting still not moving. Very frustrating to use. Can't wait to get rid of it.
Don't buy this mouse! 2008-09-20
I bought this mouse because i wanted something small to use with my laptop. I have to admit the size is great its about 3 inches long, good for me, might be bad for someone with big hands. It comes with a little case. The mouse worked great for about 2 days and then just stopped working! I dont know what happened, it just never worked again! I ended up just goign to Walmart and buying one from microsoft for $15. Ive had it now for a few months and its doing great. DONT BUY THIS MOUSE UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PAPERWEIGHT!!!!
Perfect for Laptops 
2008-09-06
I have several of these one for each of my laptops. The size is perfect for carrying around. I never got used to using the touchpad. This item is so small I can use the wristrest on most laptops. Like most lasers it doesn't need a mousepad. I find it also works well just by using a section of the sofa while sitting on it.
Pro: very small, comes with drawstring storage bag, retractable cord
Con: small size may take getting used to for some
Poor performance right out of the package 2008-07-30
The main problem is the scroll wheel. Its operation is very 'iffy'. It will scroll sometimes, for a bit, then stop and sometimes even bounce the page (i.e. when scrolling down it will suddenly reverse direction for a second like a ball hitting the floor). Most frustrating, trying to get it to scroll for me. Other times it will not scroll at all, or stop scrolling for no apparent reason. It is driving me crazy! Also, the mouse click button is not smooth at all. Not natural feeling. Difficult. I bought this to replace a previous Targus, which worked fine. But this one really blows Worse mouse I've ever used.
Not So Good 2008-07-17
I have owned two of these mice now and I've had to replace them both. On the latest one, the left click button is no longer working. Which is very frustrating! It works a little if I press it really hard, but a double-click will not work.
I am disappointed that I've had two of these and they have both lasted less than six months. I'm looking for a new brand!
Works well, but...

The Targus Optical Notebook Mouse features a creative design that is comfortable for everyday desktop use yet small enough for the mobile user. Instead of using a tracking ball, this mouse uses an optical sensor and a digital signal processor to read and follow your mouse movements. Additionally, the 3-button scroller wheel design allows you to scroll up, down, left or right, and alternate between open applications, enhancing your productivity.
Great mouse ... but reliability a question 
2008-03-11
These mice are by far the smallest yet easiest to use when it comes to mini travel mice. Even for it's small size, it has a very natural feel. I have large hands and still find this mouse comfortable to use. My computer instantly recognizes the mouse without any drivers, and when I mean instantly, I mean INSTANTLY. The only problem I've had with these mice is the reliability of them. I've gone through a couple already, each lasting only 6 - 12 months. In both cases, the left mouse button stopped working altogether or took a considerable amount of pressure (ie. not natural).
This is a 5-star mouse with a 2-star lifespan.
Does the job! 2008-02-09
The Targus ultra mini mouse would likely not be the ideal optical mouse for constant use. It's size makes it a bit uncomfortable to hold, but for shorter term use and for convenience to transport, it does the job well.
Targus retractable mini mouse 2008-01-07
The retractable mouse is just what I was looking for. It is small and fits well into my briefcase;
Very Practical! 2008-01-03
I love this little mouse! It is just perfect for travelling with your laptop anywhwere! It comes with a soft bag, and with the retractable cable is very comfortable to use!
