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.

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.

This Kensington Pro-Fit Bluetooth Wireless Mouse comes in a plastic bubble pack mounted on a wedge shaped card box and in the package you get the mouse, a single AA battery and installation guide. My first disappointment was that there isn't a pouch provided or, perhaps, the intention is you'll keep this in your laptop case. Battery installation is simple and the device comes with a 3 year warranty.Installation was easy on my Toshiba Windows 8.1 Notebook and the mouse was quickly found and installed under Bluetooth with Microsoft drivers. The physical design of the mouse is smaller than most wired versions in the sense that the footprint is smaller. However,given that the mouse is billed as being "slim for use with portable devices" it isn't especially so in comparison with a similarly specced and priced HP portable mouse I recently used. I had thought the mouse would be a lot flatter than it is.There are no buttons as such on the device, the left and right mouse buttons are in effect part of the casing - you simply press down on it - this works fine and it's obvious that underneath there's a micro switch as there's an affirmative click. The scroll wheel action is effective too with a light click feature. The design of the mouse is symmetrical so it should be equally suitable for left or right handed use especially as you can configure the buttons in the standard MS driver software which is installed.One annoying feature is that the mouse seems to go to sleep after a while and I'm not sure how to turn this feature off - I got caught out in a presentation the other day. Apart from that feature the mouse is as precise and fast as any I've used.In summary, this a competent mouse with one or two shortcomings - the design could be slimmer and the sleep feature is annoying, otherwise it's precise and very usable.

I got this mouse for my Linx 8 Windows tablet, hoping that it would fit neatly into the tablet case for use on those times when I needed a bit more precision clicking than my fat fingers normally allow. (With this and a bluetooth keyboard, the tablet becomes a fully functional laptop).It does the job rather well. As a mouse, it’s good. It’s movement detection is accurate, the button clicks are clean and easy, the scroll wheel is well weighted. The clicks are a little bit louder than I’m used to, but not annoyingly so.Connecting it to the tablet was as easy as it could have been. It was automatically detected as a bluetooth device and, once connected, started working straight away. Strangely,when I first connected the mouse to my tablet, Windows left the “installing mouse drivers” window up for a surprisingly long time. While it was still installing the drivers though, the mouse had already begun to work perfectly… one of those little quirks…It runs on a single AA battery, and there’s one provided (plus points for that), not only that but it’s a good Energizer battery provided as well (another plus).It’s much smaller than my desktop mouse. If I had just one quibble, it’s that I still think it could be a little bit smaller still- specifically it could be flatter. I’ve got a thin tablet and a very thin bluetooth keyboard in the case, so as it is, this mouse still stands out as a round bump in the tablet case. If I were designing it I’d have tried for something a little bit more pancaked. Especially when the product says “for ultra-thin devices”, I still think this mouse could have been just a tiny bit *more* ultra-thin than it is. It’s a minor detail though.Overall this is a high quality, well-built, works-first-time mouse that will make a fine addition to your laptop or tablet bag.

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.

The Kensington Mouse·in·a·Box is a full size mouse and is for USB.My last mouse was an optical but worked with batteries and that run pretty expensive at times,(when I was using it a lot), so I decided when my that mouse stopped working I was going back to cable. So I was really pleased when I was to be asked if I’d try this. :-)I have Windows 8.1 and all I had to do with the Kensington Mouse·in·a·Box was plug it in and it worked straight away.It’s extremely light and works with both PCs and Macs.The cable length on my Kensington mouse is roughly 70.9 inches, (180cm’s) long, (which is a great length for me).Has an optical sensor which gives you excellent control plus with this you have no cleaning,(like the old mice I’ve used in the past where I’ve had to clean that ball that allows it to roll).I’ve found the scroll wheel to be a lot faster than my previous optical mouse which has been great especially when I do speed reading.Have found both right and left button easy to press down and both reacted quickly.I thought I’d test the mouse to see what surfaces it worked on, so I tried it on :- my mouse mat, a plastic CD and DVD case, a book cover, my wooden unit top, paper, a mirror and it even works on a cotton duvet cover. It’s honestly the best mouse I’ve had for working on lots of different and odd surfaces. :-)I love the design as I found it so comfortable to use, plus with this design it’s a contoured ambidextrous shape so that allows everyone to use it, (no longer do you have to look for a left handed mouse).It also comes with a 5 year Limited Warranty.I’m extremely impressed with the make and personally I can’t fault this mouse at all. I’d highly recommend it to anyone that’s looking for a new computer mouse. :-)

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.

This mouse is perfect for people who hate tiny mice or even mid sized mice. Kensington do make a mid size version of this mouse, however after initially ordering that version i found it was tiny even compared to the basic Microsoft mouse i was using. I strongly recommend that if you have average to large sized hands you consider this mouse.Some important figures for you, the dimensions roughly are:Length: 12cmWidth 8cmmax height 4cmcable length 2 metresthese figures are totally different to Amazon's but i have measure this with a rulerIt is very comfy to use the large hump gives good support to your hand and the majority of the buttons are within comfortable reach. the back browser button can be a bit tricky to get to,you can either press it with the inside of your thumb or arch your thumb back and press it with the tip of your thumb. eventually you will get a comfortable arrangement for that. the Mouse has 5 typical buttons the scroll wheel is a soft feel rubber and turns with nice soft notches and acts as a 3rd button, as previously mentioned there are forward and back buttons on the side for use with your thumb. there is a 6th button that is in the centre of the mouse for you to cycle through the DPI settings that run from 600-1200-1800-2400 DPI i noticed that 1200 is very sensitive to me but i don't use much precision mouse work. would it be any good for a gamer? possibly depends what DPI your after.Compared to other optical mice i have had it is slightly heavier but i don't mind that. The most important thing to me was how big and how comfy it was and in these areas it excels. I don't care what sound the buttons make or what colour the lighting is.

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.

Full size mouse (none of your pocket sized rubbish that gives you RSI after a few hours use) 115mm long x 35mm high and 57mm at the widest point, has a good weight to it and is sensually curvy, it feels great in the hand ! Nice light, delicate button clicks that are really quiet and an absolute pleasure to use and the scroll wheel is also light and sensitive too, I have seen other scroll wheels described as 'agricultural' this is much more refined than those ! Even the cable is nice, it's soft and flexible and does not retain it's coiled up bends.The only thing that I would have liked to be slightly different is the scroll wheel has small notches in it,I would have preferred it to be smooth but that's just a personal preference and does not affect the overall comfort at all.Mice are a very personal item, especially if you use it for long periods of time, it has to feel right. This is the second one I bought this week, I hate the first one but didn't realise it was small until I took it out of the box (didn't get it from Amazon so that was my main mistake as there was no reviews to go on), I tried it for a day and it gave me RSI so immediately bought this one and it is far superior in every way and cheaper too !Good quality, full size with delicate buttons and scroll wheel, nice quiet clicks, non tangling lead and feels great in the hand !Plus, one of the quickest deliveries ever ! Very pleased with this purchase !
