I'm bedridden and have tried several cheap (<$10) wireless mice so I can at least do *something* on the computer without having to move it right next to the bed or create a tangle of cables. In spite of claims of range, most didn't work farther than a few feet (1m) from the dongle, even through open air. Previous "solution" was to use a USB extension cable and a bent coat hanger to hold the dongle up and away from the computer case which gave me *almost* enough range with the best mouse. I still had to hold the mouse up in the air sometimes to get/regain a signal.
Then I purchased this mouse. Dongle plugged into the *back* of the computer. Mouse sitting by me on the bed blocked from view of the computer by my body. Perfect connection, silky smooth movement, and nary a missed click. I've used wired mice that aren't this reliable. I wonder if this company makes wireless keyboards.
Edit: One minor complaint. The mouse powers down automatically after a while to save the battery. To turn it back on, you have to click a mouse button. This click gets sent through to the computer, selecting items or changing settings or even closing programs, depending on where the cursor was left when the mouse powered down. Minor problem, but a separate "wake" button would prevent this. Leaving the rating at 5 stars because it performs so well otherwise.
