This isn't the biggest mouse I've ever used... but it's pretty close! It is moulded to fit a right-handed person. A left-hander can mangle their hand around it but wouldn't have a chance of using the two side buttons unless they're some kind of virtuoso on the violin. Personally even though I'm right handed I don't use the two side buttons so they're just an adornment for the side of the mouse.The plastics used in the Pro Fit's construction are interesting - it is mostly black plastic, some glossy, and the main bit that you touch is black with a matt finish. The grey plastic on the left and right sides are more interesting though - on the right it has the same matt texture as the black top of the mouse,but on the left Kensington have somehow made the grey plastic have a rubberised texture where your thumb contacts it - this makes it feel like it gives you more grip, but it might be where grime builds up first, depending on how clean your hands are.While the Pro Fit is big, because it is wired it doesn't require batteries so it's nice and light weight. Ignoring the cable it weighs a tiny bit under 100 grams.On top of the mouse is the DPI button. This is described in the PDF instructions that you can download from the Kensington website, although not at the web address given on the sheet of paper inside the Pro Fit's box which currently takes you to a Page Not Found message. The DPI button lets you click between four different pointer sensitivities, although from my experience the only time I remember DPI buttons exist is when my mouse starts misbehaving mysteriously and I have to figure out what's wrong - it's that I accidentally pressed this button.Finally - single use plastic in the packaging. In an ideal world products would be shipped in easily recyclable cardboard, and there is a fair amount of cardboard used in the Pro Fit's packaging. But there is a sheet of stiff transparent moulded plastic that lets you see the mouse when the box is on display in a shop - this piece of single use plastic weighs 20 grams and will go straight into the recycling when you unpack your mouse. If Kensington had shipped the mouse without this plastic I would have given it five stars. As it is, I give it four. The world is filling up with this unnecessary plastic waste and Kensington need to demonstrate some thought leadership.

I've been using a Logitech M238 wireless mouse for quite some time now and this Kensington Pro Fit full-sized mouse really is the exact opposite in terms of size - not the biggest mouse I've ever used, but pretty close.Aside from being notable for its size this Pro Fit mouse is definitely for right-handed people only, being asymmetrical. It has two thumb buttons that I don't use, whenever I've gone through the process of setting these things up I forget they're there. Similarly, there is a DPI button on top that I rarely take advantage of - every now and then I wonder why my cursor is moving slowly across the screen and it's because I've accidentally pressed this button.This Kensington mouse comes with two GP branded AA alkaline batteries.GP's website says they were established over 50 years ago and are the largest manufacturer of consumer batteries in China. It's worth noting that my Logitech M238 only uses one AA battery, which makes it lighter, but I guess its battery life may be shorter - not that I've actually noticed this, the batteries in these things seem to last for ages.The other difference between my two mice, as you'd expect, is that the small Logitech M238 weighs only 82 grams while this Kensingon Pro Fit weighs a more noticeable 145 grams. Doesn't sound much, but you do move your mouse around all day and many years ago I suffered tennis elbow which was inflamed by using a heavy mouse. To some degree this can be countered by having your mouse sensitivity set high so less arm movement is required.Generally the plastic on this mouse is black, either glossy or matt, while the sides are grey plastic, and where your thumb rests has somehow been given a more grippy texture, almost as though its slightly rubberised. I could only guess how Kensington have achieved this - maybe it's what the plastic is like inside if you shave away the outer surface?In summary, it's an ergonomically shaped mouse, a little bit heavy at 145 grams. It plugs and plays without any fuss. Has a DPI button that I don't personally use. It seems to respond to the built-in Windows 10 mouse control panel in terms of cursor sensitivity and scroll-wheel action. The question is whether I'll transition from my much smaller Logitech mouse?

This is supplied in usual Kensington packaging which is a branded box with a bubble display that can easily be separated for recycling. This is a big mouse larger even than my gaming mouse with quite a tall palm rest which may help reduce any repetitive strain injury (RSI). It is however shaped for right-hand use and while it is not impossible to use left handed I would suggest committed southpaws look for another model more suitable.It is supplied with two AA batteries and a separate dongle which is also rather large. It is a shame there is nowhere to store the dongle in the mouse as I am sure there is plenty of room in a mouse this size. It is OK if you are using it as your only device but not if you travel with it.It is especially frustrating as the mouse has an on/off switch so it can be turned off when being carried about. So look after the dongle as it is not much use without it.The mouse peered first time with my Dell Windows 10 laptop and worked well during normal operation. There is a peer button on the dongle and mouse but it is not needed using Windows 10 and it self-configures. The is a resolution button on top which switches between 800 and 1200 DPI which is fine for desktop use. The batteries were easy to instal and it seems accurate in use. In addition to the standard left and right buttons and scroll wheel, there are two buttons on the left easily operated by your thumb that default to forward and back pages on your browser. The left side is slightly rubberised and it feels very comfortable to hold, as long as you are right-handed. The scroll wheel is accurate with a positive button incorporated and all the buttons are microswitches which make them positive if a bit clicky in an open plan office or public location such as a train.This is a solid if unspectacular mouse. It feels a little old in design but it is also very comfortable to hold and feels well made with positive buttons and accurate tracking.

I’ll assume that the first thing you want answered is the first thing I asked myself. Just how big is this mouse? The product photos give you little idea, so I’ve posted one of my own with a couple of other mice that came to hand and a credit card. To answer the question, it is pretty big for a Bluetooth mouse, which you can take any way you want. I’ve wanted a larger Bluetooth mouse for a while since I have some tiny ones that just give me hand cramps if used for long periods. Smaller mice do go into a bag almost unnoticed, so up to you to set your priorities.Pairing it to my PCs was straightforward and so far it has worked on all the surfaces I’ve found myself on. I don’t find the tracking very precise,however, with slow, small movements resulting in the pointer “walking up or down stairs”, rather than moving in a smooth line. Fine if you’re surfing the net or editing a text document etc., but not great for trying to draw things or play precision games.The scroll wheel has a nice ratchet feel without having undue resistance, and all three buttons click with good feedback. The mouse is symmetrical so adapts to both righties and lefties and is comfortable and pleasant to hold.I have experienced some pretty major lag using the mouse. After verification with other Bluetooth mice this seems to be an endemic problem with Bluetooth – if your PC is busy, your mouse gets laggy. I don’t remember seeing it the much before, but maybe I’m just doing more processor intensive stuff right now. Bluetooth still has the advantage of leaving all of your USB ports free (not negligible for a MacBook Pro).I think this is a decent mouse for the price. I like the fact it has a decent size for a Bluetooth mouse, it is light and only takes an AA battery. It is missing some features from higher priced products, like better precision or being able to pair to two different devices, but these are not deal breakers at the price point.

While many people now are using devices with touchpads or touchscreens etc, many more are still using the more durable desktop PCs or even if a laptop, may find occasions when they miss having a mouse to use for easier onscreen navigation, but don't want the awkwardness of a wired one.This offering from Kensington is a nice basic wireless mouse which unlike some other more basic models, is perfect for those who're left handed too. which I've had to become after severe hand arthritis hit my right. The package consists of the mouse plus batteries and a USB "button" stick i.e. 1/4 the size of a 'normal' size USB stick.Great for storage in the mouse but not so great for ensuring it doesn't get lost esp when black!!It's a smaller size than some others I've tried and oddly most wireless ones do seem to be able to bring the footprint down somewhat for whatever reason. While the top is the standard 2 buttons and a scroll wheel, the underside is where the magic happens. This is where the batteries reside but also the USB button which slots into a little recess in the base. At the top of the recess there's an On/Off button which helps prevent battery waste.The mouse is Plug & Play so you can insert the key at any time even if you have other mice attached (I've a trackball). Useability is good with great sensitivity and no need to mess around with settings. Windows 10 now makes the need to change settings a requirement only for those who really want fine tuning, but for most, the standard settings will suffice. Windows 7 equally won't bother you but if memory serves me right XP might throw up a box with options to change if you desire.Overall, if you want wireless flexibility with a usually wired PC, or if your trackball/trackpad etc isn't working properly this is a great solution being both wireless and very portable.

Kensington Pro Fit Wired Full Size MouseThis is a full size mouse in the old school sense but with moulding at each side to better fit your hand which makes it more ergonomic.It’s designed for right handed use - the integrated thumb buttons are on the left of the mouse body.The mouse has a “rubberised” wheel for scrolling and there is a small nub beneath this for quick adjustment of sensitivity.The full size combined with the accuracy of the lens results in precise movement and control of the cursor even on a small mouse mat.It’s a wired mouse with a USB connection which has proved to be plug and play in Windows 8.1,10 and MacOSX 10.11 - which is what I’ve tried it with.It’s a bit light for the size and aimed at the work professional so there’s no option to add weights - but still very useable. The light weight may be a feature for those using it in a portable sense with a laptop.In many situations I’ve found wired mice to be better than wireless - especially if you are in multiple dongle territory - or need a stable reliable connection.The best part about this mouse are the two side buttons which are useable in many games but also function as forward and back buttons for tabbed web pages.This is a great feature and once you get used to it going back to a mouse without them is very frustrating.The standard left and right buttons are positive and “clicky” and work fine.This is another good solid Kensington product in my opinion.I can’t speak to longevity of this particular mouse - but I can say, having serviced, cleaned and repaired quite a few over the years - most mouse failures I’ve seen are about dirty or gummed up wheels or micro buttons and are fixable if you have the time. Most people just buy a new mouse. This is a good choice.

I've been using a Kensington mouse for a long while now, and it has been faultless. I paid the extra for it because the cheaper "mice" I had before just didn't last, either permanently losing connection with the PC, or just falling to pieces.This Slimblade is a lot smaller than most, and it took me a while to get used to it because it's flat surface is so different to hold. However, after a short while it became second nature.It is plug and play, and my PC and laptop both recognised it within seconds. It tracks nicely, although it is not particularly fast. You have no side buttons with this mouse, which wasnt a problem for me as my old mouse didn't have them either, but this may be an issue for some users,and particularly for game players. However for standard internet browsing and office working it is absolutely fine.There were no batteries in the box with my mouse, although from the diagram it looks as if there should have been. The mouse takes two standard AAA batteries, and I would strongly advise investing in a set of decent rechargeables, because if my last wireless Kensington mouse is typical, standard zinc batteries don't last that long. This mouse does have an on/off switch that helps to conserve batteries when not in use. There s also a low battery indicator which is a nice touch, as is on board storage for the nano receiver plug.This is an excellent mouse for home/office use, and now that I have got used to the feel of it, I really like it a lot.£50 is a lot of money, and although it will almost certainly outlast the cheaper equivalents, and is more robustly made, it might put a lot of buyers off. However, based on my own experience I would still give it serious consideration and dig a little deeper for a quality item.

Mice now are nearly all optical but still come in three basic flavours – cabled (uses a USB port but is powered by the computer) , wireless ( usually need batteries and a USB port for the nano receiver) and Bluetooth ( uses no USB ports , needs a Bluetooth function in the computer and may require batteries but may be rechargeable. Added to this are the various ergonomic shapes and a variety of active button functions. I have used all three of these basic typesSo how well does this latest mouse “For Business Professionals” perform?Size - 13cm x 8cm x 4.5cm (very similar to Amazon basics wireless mouse which I use already) .This would be very chunky( if not large) for some people. There is ca 2m /6ft of a decent wire to play with (or be irritated by) .Compatibility- worked OK ( plug an play) on a Samsung RF711 (Windows 7 Home) and a MacAir (Sierra). Just takes up one USB portFunctionality – Scroll wheel (with click functionality) and side buttons to jump between web pages OK – similar to the Amazon wireless mouseEase of use – OK – I am right handed and like to keep my USB3 port clear so I have to wire to the LHS of the laptop – results in a trailing cable. My personal preference is for the wireless mouse, but those who like a wired mouse this is a good oneReliability (3 year guarantee) – The wired mice tend to last longer than the wireless ones from my past experience. Longevity to be reported later.So - ratings – on my personal preferences it rates at 3 star , the functional performance I will allocate 5 star. Others may find it too chunky and rate it lower on feel / ease of use.NOTE - my"management thinks it is just too chunky for ladies hands....

A design that apparently shares elements with a number of models including one from AmazonBasics but which originated in a 'premium' brand.The "Kensington Pro Fit Medium Size Wireless Mouse with Nano Receiver - Black/Blue" is one of a few colourways offered but the features are identical. They include a centre scroll wheel and a pair of browser-related scroll buttons under the thumb. The highest scroll speed is a fairly high 1750 dpi which helps ensure accuracy of placement for the cursor when gaming, designing and photo-editing although it can be reduced to suit other day-to-day uses; that was a decided bonus at this price level.Its receiver is included, is mid-sized and can be stored within the base of the mouse during transit,should that occur. It is powered by a pair of AAA batteries which are included and, in some designs, can provide for up to 18 months' of use although several weeks to a few months is more typical and is expected. It is of a standard size and suitable for younger children and adults and with desktops and laptops; just transfer the receiver. It isn't the 'sweetest' to use and the mouse buttons are slightly clicky and clunky but reasonable for the price asked. One minor and annoying aspect was the packaging which is not the simplest to open and initially frustrated until another tape patch was spotted - there are three.Ignore the printed dimensions which are obviously over-stated as the mouse is of a typical size and height. It is competitively-priced and provides reasonably good value although there are alternatives that offer a few more features and are possibly easier to use that are on sale for about the same price.

This is a very handy wireless mouse for use with your PC or laptop. I have never tried one before – but I do get fed up with the normal mouse that I use at work – the wire of which is continually becoming entangled in the piles on my desk (even computers do not rid you of paperwork, sadly). Also, I thought the use of a mouse with my laptop would make any presentation easier, so was keen to give this a try.Although I use computers a lot – both at home and at work – I am not particularly knowledgeable about them and so tend not to give new things a try. However, let me reassure you that this mouse is absolute simplicity to install. The mouse uses an AA battery, which is included.There is also a small nano receiver, which simply plugs into the side of your laptop/PC. This then connects to the mouse and it works without you having to do anything more. Ideal for those, like me, whose ability to install anything on a computer often ends in frustration. There is an ingenious little compartment in the mouse to store the receiver when you are not using it – you could, of course, leave it plugged into your computer, but as the mouse will not work without it, it is best packed away.The mouse itself is light and comfortable to use. Small enough to fit into the palm of your hand and you can click either side, which means my husband, who is left-handed, finds it equally comfortable to use. A simple piece of equipment, but well designed and simple and stress free to install. I was very impressed with this and will certainly purchase another, so I have one at home and one at work.

This mouse has the three most important benefits in terms of mobility. It is very light (no battery, since it's wired), it is compact in design (not too small to be fiddly, but compact enough to fit in any laptop bag) and it has decent cable control. It is not a mouse built for luxury, not does it have any features beyond the scroll wheel (which is middle mouse button, as you should expect).This lack of premium features is no surprise in a mobile mouse at this price point. DPI scaling will have to be done via Windows or MacOS. No software to install to use this mouse, just plug and play. It's also symmetrical, so ideal for left or right-handed users.The biggest draw to this model is the retractable cable.If you are a tidy desktop user, be warned, this cable is short at 75cm, so unlikely this would be of much use in many desktop set-ups. Great though for laptop users, where the USB port is at hand. Upon pulling the cable out with a little release will lock the cable length, so it's only as long as you would like it to be. Without the release it will wind back up in to the mouse.The USB connector can also fit inside the mouse, so when stored, there are no cables or connector to snag, tangle or become damaged - this is an excellent idea, well executed. The winder inside does sometimes rattle upon retraction and I don't believe that this is a problem for the future.Not a mouse with any wow factor - but a decent build from a trusted source. The zero tangle benefit is a treat if you 're always stuffing your mouse in your case though.

This Kensington Pro-Fit comes complete with a USB wireless receiver, 2 AAA batteries and instructions. The mouse is marketed as being compatible with Windows or Mac computers - the limitation with the latter is that the latest MacBooks come with USB C ports so the nano receiver won't fit without an adaptor. Also, in my view, this mouse is designed for right-handed users only. Battery life is up to 12 months and there's a low battery indicator plus a 2-year warranty.Getting going is easy, just install the batteries and the tiny nano receiver and you're away - mine connected straightaway and utilised the generic Windows mouse driver.The size of the mouse feels a good compromise for both desk and portable use and is well sculpted to fit my average sized hand. The USB receiver can be stored inside the mouse. Overall, though the "feel" of the mouse" is slightly cheap considering both its price point and the competition.In use, the mouse is fast and precise (adjustable between 800/1200/1600 dpi), and better than many I've used in the past, and of course, you can adjust the DPI via the driver. The scroll wheel works well and has a subtle click action plus the left/right buttons have an affirmative action. The mouse also features side mounted forward and back keys which are handy and work with most browsers.In summary, this is a competent, fast, precise mouse, the overall build feels slightly below par considering the price point but it will serve most right-handed users adequately.

This is a very nice mouse. It's a bit small for my hand, but it's so nice to use, I might treat myself to a larger version.It's a good weight, feeling more substantial than the cheapo mouse I normally use, despite its diminutive size. It's nicely formed too, with a rubber grip where your thumb falls below the two side buttons, and my fingers fell naturally onto the two main buttons. There's a pointer speed speed button tucked away out of accidental presses, positioned behind the mouse wheel, and it allows you to change the pointer speed to suit quickly and easily. The mouse-wheel itself has a nice action, smooth but with positive clicks as you rotate it,and a cleanly actuating microswitch underneath for when you press the wheel.Installation is quick and effortless, on Windows 7 at least; a couple of seconds after putting the wireless dongle in your USB slot and the mouse is working. When not in use, the dongle has a magnetic storage slot in the underside of the mouse. Batteries are provided and are simple to install underneath, where the on/off switch can be found.The thing I was most pleased by with this mouse, was how smoothly it glides across my desk. On either a fabric mouse mat, or a hard laminate desk, the Kensington glides smoothly. The bottons are all where they should be and work reliably and predictably.This is a really nice mouse for smaller hands. I've pictured the Kensington next to my usual (larger) mouse, along with an AA battery for scale.

A classic design that closely resembles long-discontinued models from the likes of Logitech, Microsoft and several others. It is also similar to those supplied by major PC manufacturers such as HP, Dell and others alongside a basic keyboard as their 'desktop set'. It is powered by two AA batteries that are supplied and that could give many months of service. Most equivalent mice use a single battery!The "Kensington ValuMouse Wireless Mouse for Windows/Mac/Mac OS/Mac OS X -" is one that could be used in either hand with equal ease. It is ambidextrous with its two mouse buttons and scroll wheel being the only controls; there are no thumb controls or other side-mounted controls that would render it for the right-handed only.It offers a fixed and reasonably sensitive 1000 dpi resolution.It is surprisingly quiet and non-'clicky' and wouldn't be obtrusive in an otherwise quiet room. It does not offer a fanciful design or any extras but it is a simple wireless mouse whose USB receiver can be stored in a small compartment should it need to be moved, whether from one location to another or between computers in the home, office or school; its power switch is adjacent and within the same recess. What it does offer is simplicity, minimal controls, ease of use and good value.Those needing a uncomplicated wireless mouse for their everyday computing, especially in a family that may include a leftie, may need look no further.

I was recently looking for a wireless mouse I could keep in my laptop bag for when I'm not in the office, as using the built in trackpads just don't work as well as the designers imagine they do.Currently, my main mouse is a wirder HyperX gaming mouse; I like the extra buttons these provide, even though I rarely use them for gaming. In comparison, this mouse has no side buttons, but I can live with that when you factor in the size of this. I imagine a normal mouse is the rat-sized equivalent, if this is the mouse. It's tiny. But this is great, as it can fit into my laptop bag's small inside pocket, and not be too much of a problem.The size however, is something that will take getting used to.It's not only shorter than a normal mouse, it's flatter too; so you'll need to adjust your grip to use it effectively. Once you do though, it's a real pleasure to use: the mouse glides effortlessly, and each click of a button is as responsive as you need.The USB receiver, when not in use, slots nicely under the battery cover - tucked neatly out of the way, but does mean that you need to take off the cover to get to it, and to put it away. I did enjoy that the slot for this is magnetised, so the receiver more or less plugs itself back into the mouse.The drawback on this is that it costs in excess of £50. As a portable mouse, and not one in daily use; I doubt I'd want to pay this much, no matter the quality.
