Wireless Mobile 3500 mouse
1 AA battery
USB transceiver
The new artist series line of mice feature artwork from 5 artists (Yellena James, Calvin, Ho, Zansky, Dana McClure and Matt Lyon). Each artist inspired mouse has a different design. I chose Matt Lyon’s design which you see here.
The mouse has 2 buttons with a center scroll wheel.
The sides of the mouse are covered in a rubber or silicone type material that provides excellent grip, but at the expense of showing dust and lint which sticks to the dark surface.
Flip the mouse over to find the 1 AA (included) battery compartment, USB transceiver and power switch.
The USB transceiver stores in the mouse when you’re not using it. Pressing the little button to the left of the slot will pop up the dongle so you can remove it. This is my only complaint about this mouse – that it requires you to use a USB port on your laptop or computer. You don’t want to plug the transceiver into a USB hub connected to your computer. Although it will work, you will probably experience some instances where the mouse will just stop working until you toggle the power switch on the bottom. At least this is what I experience while testing this mouse with my Macbook Air.
If you don’t mind losing a USB slot, this is a decent little mouse. It is small and sturdy, comfortable to use on any hard surface, it can run on 1 AA battery for up to 8 months and is plug and play compatible with Windows and Mac computers. It’s available in many different colors and now with these limited edition artist graphics.
What is your favorite mobile mouse?
