But when my keyboard died I purchased the Smart Cat. I find the pad itself works great, but the design is about as thoughtless as it gets. By putting... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~362330427012 Tue, 15 May 2007 16:13:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_362330427012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175447117444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author whystlestop - If you want your keyboard to look good for a long time, forget it. I've lost half the W, R, M, A, most of the F, D, N, and all of the S, E, and C. They have replaced the board twice, when I would have gladly taken just new keycaps for the warranty... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175447117444 Tue, 26 Dec 2006 10:48:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175447117444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_288669142660?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - When the NuLOOQ was first introduced, the concept was appealing but the $149 price tag was more of a repellent for everybody who wasn't a full-time (!) professional graphics artist. With the price cut to roughly 50%, the value suddenly was much more... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~288669142660 Thu, 14 Dec 2006 17:02:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_288669142660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_289123307140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Darkmistress - Alright, I&#146ll be totally honest. I bought the Rocketfish laptop mouse because of the name. How could you not love that name? Rocketfish! It sounds like something from a Dr Suess book. The fact that it was the cheapest one on the shelf at Best Buy... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~289123307140 Fri, 8 Dec 2006 13:46:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_289123307140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_288979914372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Russhoolio - I bought this mouse amidst great trepidation. There were lots of choices. I chose the Logitech V450 because it has a 3 year warranty and it is good for either hand. I don't use it as my primary mouse. My normal mouse is a corded optical mouse. I use... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~288979914372 Fri, 8 Dec 2006 05:29:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_288979914372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_286325182084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author integra144 - I am happy for my purchase considering its value. At the 31.49 at Radio shack. It is a relative bargain considering it comes with both wireless mouse and keyboard which has tone of user programmable hot key and dedicated media and volume keys and the 4... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~286325182084 Sat, 2 Dec 2006 01:25:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_286325182084?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_285854633604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author thebergers - I have to say the size and portability of this mouse is great. The first time I used it, it took a couple of attempts to get it to work on my laptop. When it finally did, it worked great!

The camera lists for almost $100, and I bought... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~285891530372 Fri, 1 Dec 2006 02:09:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_285891530372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_282387910276?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cmbender - This was alright at first, but now when using the scroll wheel my pages really skip around.

It has the media control on the keyboard and is very east to see and use. The keys and media buttons are all backlit and make it very easy to see what you are doing in the dark. It has... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~282728959620 Thu, 23 Nov 2006 15:52:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_282728959620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_277844168324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author e-cap - This mouse is one of the best I have ever used. The laser works great with no hiccups or disconnections. It fits perfectly in my hand, and I have big hands, too. All of the buttons are easy to reach and fully programmable... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~277844168324 Sun, 12 Nov 2006 02:22:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_277844168324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_277458423428?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cheetohead - I tried several USB optical mice on my Mac G5 running 10.3.9 and found this to be the best balance of price and functionality. Works right out of the box, but installing the software adds some functionality, including ability to control scroll speed,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~277458423428 Sat, 11 Nov 2006 02:28:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_277458423428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_275588550276?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mmcphee - I don't remember the first time I used a computer mouse. But I am certain that it was a very long time ago and it was roller ball mouse. Nowadays at work I use an optical mouse with my laptop, specifically a Dell M-UVDEL1.

Initial responsiveness was good, and it glided like silk on a mousepad. However, after some use, I noticed the laser-tracking jumped around quite a bit on some mousepads and surfaces (even MORE... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~270558465668 Wed, 25 Oct 2006 15:24:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_270558465668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_262231789188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rasi2290 - You know, I was going to give this mouse two stars, and suggest avoiding it. But the more I used it, the more I liked it. It's actually pretty great - it just has a learning curve and takes a little getting used to. Now I love it.

The Revolution is almost as comfortable and some will like that it is narrower between the thumb and the fingers and shallower under the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~256911642244 Thu, 21 Sep 2006 13:00:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_256911642244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_253706997380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author alysenet - I was excited until I started clicking away, and noticing that when clicking, I can feel each click in the palm of my hand. This is apparently due to the lack of gap/separation between the buttons and the rest of the mouse; in other words, the part that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~253706997380 Mon, 11 Sep 2006 00:09:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_253706997380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_253518909060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jakeleg - Saitek's Eclipse II is an updated version of the Eclipse illuminated keyboard. The original design was a decent keyboard with blue lighting, a 3 step brightener/dimmer and a better than average key touch.
