I purchsed this wireless mouse from HP when I ordered my new computer last year in November. I chose this particular style and type because of its size and shape. You see, I have very small hands(no jokes, please). So, if I use the 'usual' size mouse that most others use, my hand starts to cramp, especially in the thumb area. Since Carpal Tunnel and Arthritis run in our family, I have to be very concious of how I treat my hands. When I received it, it was a challenge to open the darn thing. Yet, installing it was a breeze. All one has to do is follow the instructions and the mouse is ready to be used in no time. It has a little stick shaped like a flash drive that has to be in a USB port all the time in order to work. It is pretty thin, so just be careful when moving a laptop or note book. You don't want it breaking off in the port. Not only does it fit PERFECTLY in my tiny hand, it has a feature that I don't think other mice(?) have. If I move the cursor using the mouse pad, I don't need to click one of the buttons to select. I can just use the mouse.......while holding it in mid-air. WHY does this seem like a good thing to me? Well, it goes back to the hand fatigue problem that a lot of people have. Most people's wrists get sore after a while. By doing the aforementioned action, that would alleviate the problem. It really comes in handy while doing repetitive tasks such as going through photographs or playing certain games. I highly recommend this. Comes in cute colors, too. ha ha
