Customers are mixed about the responsiveness of the mouse. Some mention that the touch thing is good, but it's not 100% sensitive.

The touch functionality isn't as good as the Mighty Mouse, and there's a slight lag with the cursor. The touches wheel tended to be cumbersome at times, and it takes some getting used to the touch strip.

I was purdy hesitant to order most any bluetooth mouse ... they all seem to be somewhat poorly rated
I had a Logitech V470 from a few years back ... I woulda simply bought another one, but they're like $70 ... not sure if I paid that for the first one ... but I didn't wanna pay it, now
clearly, bluetooth mice are commanding a premium price over their "wireless" counterparts ... but jeez!
I received this mouse, the packaging was very good ... even came with two genuine duracell batteries
the battery cover came open easily, and shut smartly
upon putting in the batteries, the mouse immediately came to life, and was broadcasting to pair
I turned on bluetooth on my HP Slate 7 Extreme, and it immediately found the new mouse (it did display as a mac address, but with a mouse icon next to it) ... and paired as quick as I tapped "pair"
from then on, the mouse worked exactly as ya'd expect ... it's optical, so I was using it on the arm of my la-z-boy
I also plugged my HP into the TV about 12ft away, and the mouse was working as though it was wired
the shape is very rounded, and isometric ... so, vs a V470, it felt a bit awkward ... but, it's clearly a "solid"/quality piece of equipment
it has no scroll wheel ... if ya rely heavily on a scroll wheel, I'd recommend ya avoid this mouse
in its place, it has that metal strip (in the pic) ... ya flick your finger across it ... it'll make a clicking sound reflecting how fast ya flicked, and how fast it'll scroll
for the bit I played with it, it seemed like there was two scrolling speeds ... way too slow ... and way too fast ... obviously, it takes some practice to develop a finer touch
but, for minimal scrolling, it gets the job done ... and the new tech is kinda cool ... someone who's never used an actual scroll wheel (can't imagine) might not have any issues with this, at all
on my HP, I tried left/right scrolling, and it worked fine ... same as vertical ... not sure how much use I'd get outta it ... but it worked
I considered taking off a star for the scroll wheel ... except, what's in its place gets the job done, and at thirty-ish dollars, it's simply not appropriate to dock a star for a matter of personal taste
I wouldn't normally review an item with so many reviews already (don't see the point) ... but, with all the new Windows tablets out there, and people tryin to use em in desktop mode, a bluetooth mouse can be a real life-saver ... and otherwise spending $70-ish is kinda painful ... particularly after buying a new $300+ tablet
This one is perfect - not to small for my big hands and functions well so far. I may be a tad too heavy with standard batteries, but the weight is perfect when I installed Energizer Lithium AAs.
The touch surface/button combo may require some adjustment if it is your first time, but I have used Arc Mouse and similar Logitech mouse before, so no problems for me. I really appreciate that mid-button click functionality is preserved (I missed it in most recent Logitech mice that use it to change the way scroll-wheel works).
Please note that Bluetooth mouse usually takes a couple of seconds to re-connect when your computer wakes up after going to sleep or energy-saving mode. It is normal behavior and (unlike some cheap mice) this one always reconnects
You can safely ignore software download if you do not want to change button assignments.Microsoft software for mice was always bloated, and this version is no different.
One remark for Amazon - if you search for "bluetooth mouse" this one is not showing because it does not have 'bluetooth' in the name - it is a shame, because with Amazon prices it would be flying off the shelves...
AFTER FOUR MONTHS OF USE:
Still working and still on the initial set of lithium batteries. One accident - Windows update played hinky with the driver so I had to reinstall it. Other than that, the mouse works like new.
Connected easily
good feel in hand
tracks well on most surfaces
Cons-
limited software (I'm using windows 7)
touch bar not very sensitive (still useable though)
heavy for its size
Bottom line: If you want a simple Bluetooth mouse this one won't disappoint, but if you don't care about Bluetooth then I would go with something cheaper.
I have been using this mouse for a little while now. It was fairly easy to set up, but I did change some settings on my Bluetooth card to ensue it would not turn itself off. I adjusted that setting on my laptop without trying it first, so it may have worked without doing that, but based on my experiences with other Bluetooth mice, I thought it was prudent. That aside this mouse does what it is supposed to quite well. I like the fact that I don't need a dongle to use this mouse and I can just turn it on and it works. This is a comfortable mouse to use and so far so good. It fits well in my hands (I have big hands) and still maintains a small form factor. The really isn't anything that is all that special about this mouse. The touch strip (which also can function as a button) works well enough, it lags a little when scrolling and thus does not work as well as a wheel, but it does work well enough. I would have only taken off half a star for this, but that isn't an option. The touch strip also vibrates as it scrolls, and you can adjust this in the software. I like it on in a low setting, but I could see how it would bother some. The other thing that I noticed is the weight, which is due to the fact it uses 2 AA batteries. It isn't heavy per say, just heavy compared to the other mobile mice I've used. The software is not the greatest, I don't need a ton of customization (I just adjusted the vibration of the touch strip) but it wasn't the best work Microsoft has done. As this mouse is aimed at windows 8 maybe it will be better there. The software didn't bother me much, but it might if you want a lot of customization in a mouse as it is clunky and I couldn't find a way to go back a screen if I wanted to, which might make the process of adding a lot of customization difficult. Overall I'm very happy with this mouse and would recommend it, but its a mouse, and there is nothing, other then the Bluetooth functionality that would differentiate this mouse for me from any of the other, cheaper mice by Microsoft or Logitech out there. The bottom line is if you want a Bluetooth mouse this one won't disappoint, but if you don't care about Bluetooth, then I would go with something cheaper.
