Product Description
The Targus-Noteworthy Optical Screen Scroller Mouse is the perfect solution for the notebook desktop user that needs a standard size external mouse. The NW03BM is an optical pointing device that does not use a tracking ball like a traditional mouse. Instead, it uses an optical sensor and digital signal processor to read and follow your mouse moves; eliminating erratic cursor movement and the need to clean your mouse or mouse pad. This product also allows the mouse to be used on virtually any surface (except glass) where a mouse with a ball would be unusable.The NW03BM's "Screen Scroller wheel" will allow you to scroll up or down, left or right the mouse and you can also alternate between open applications. The mouse allows you to easily browse Web sites and Windows. The NW03BM comes standard with a USB connection (USB revision 1.1) that will allow true plug and play connection with the notebook USB port. It is 100% compatible with Windows 98/2000/Me/XP operating system right out of the box. It also comes with a USB to PS/2 adapter for compatibility with use with Win 95, Win NT and other operating systems.

The Targus Ultra Mini Optical Mouse (TUMOM) is an amazing piece of hardware. Its convenient size and weight make it just another competitor in the laptop mouse field, but what sets it apart from the crowd is its cord. Not only is the cord extremely thin and light-weight, but you can make the length anywhere from six inches to about two feet and then retract it down to nothing for transport. It's almost like having a wireless mouse, but without the added initial cost or the ongoing cost of batteries. Having the second mouse button is a big bonus for Macintosh laptop users; the third button (depressing the scroll wheel) is great too (mine is programmed for Expos's "view all windows" feature).There are a couple caveats, but these are probably going to hold true for any laptop optical mouse, not just the TUMOM. When I plugged the mouse into my PowerBook (in battery power mode) it sucked about 20 minutes off the clock, which then kept dropping at an accelerated rate. Although it seems to have ergonomic styling, over use of the mini mouse will probably result in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, so be careful out there. I've only had my TUMOM for a couple days, so I can't speak to its longevity (so far, so good). I've had a hard time convincing my three-year-old that it's not a toy (I've had a hard time convincing *myself* it's not a toy - it's just so fun to extend the cord ... retract the cord ... extend the cord ... etc.). The silver finish perfectly complements my Aluminum PowerBook (I briefly considered a Microsoft laptop mouse that was also silver, but, hello ... evil). I was initially concerned that the retractable widget would get in the way while moving the mouse, but that hasn't been a problem. My previous favorite computer gadget was the Lexar 128MB USB JumpDrive, but this makes that look soooo last year (which it was). This is truly a gadget lover's dream.

This tiny mouse is the coolest thing I've bought for my laptop. I have a Mac and it works great - not only for surfing but also doing graphic design... Its retractable cord is perfect to save on space and keep everything together. There is no battery needed and it is so lightweight. Plus the rollerball and 2 clickers add to the ease of using the mouse. Its almost too lightweight to feel like its real (kinda resembles the weight of a keychain or something.) Its a great device. So far, anyway.
Wonderful - so glad I bought it! May 17, 2004

I didn't think I really needed this for my laptop, since the touchpad does a decent job. But this makes navigating the desktop and surfing the web much faster and more comfortable. It's tiny, but feels just right. I don't even like using a regular sized mouse anymore. It is truly plug and play via the USB port - it doesn't require separate software or drivers, or even a system restart for that matter. I just hooked it up and was using it in less than half a minute. Both buttons and the scroll wheel perform admirably. The self-winding cord works like a charm too. It comes with its own carry bag which makes packing convenient. In essence, it's everything I was looking for in a mouse. I'm not usually terribly enthusiastic about gadgets, but this one is without flaw.

Exactly what we were looking for, it functions as well as a full size mouse and is ideal for working in a restricted space such as on a laptop surface. The retractable cord makes it super convenient, it's perfect.
great size and useability June 2, 2004

This is a fantastic solution for a laptop. I don't like touch pads or even the stick in an IBM ThinkPad. I used to carry a full size mouse. This is virtually weightless and can fit in any spare part of a laptop bag. I initially found my hand felt cramped because I was trying to hold it with the same fingers I use for a full size mouse, but I consciously just rearranged my fingers and found it to be incredibly easy to use for long periods of time. The retracting cord is ingenious.
