Targus Laser Stow-N-Go
Laptop Mouse
(2.4Ghz Wireless Rechargeable)

This is the ultimate wireless mouse for your laptop that not only boasts an impressive and comfortable design but uses the latest laser technology to give you some of the most accurate control over your mouse pointer.

Sporting a modern yet elegant design with metallic and jet black colours, this mouse would not look out of place on any laptop or computer. For those using the mouse for transport, the wireless receiver neatly slides into the underbelly of the unit, keeping it hidden and safe while moving.The mouse also weighs in at a comfortable 114 grams which is extremely light.

The installation of the device was a breeze and the receiver simply plugged into a spare USB port and Windows Vista automatically detected the unit. The mouse can also be used on Mac's as well. Although it offers tilt-wheel technology, this does require a download, however it's definitely worth it for those interested in this aspect.

Boasting up to a month from a single charge and we can accurately agree with Targus as we have been testing the device for just over a month now and the batteries are still going.

Using it in Windows Vista was a breeze and we even tested it with Adobe PhotoShop and the accuracy was phenomenal thanks to the varied tracking speed which allowed us to create some impressive designs. Even using it with basic word processing or Windows use is quite brilliant and with games? Say no more, we had quite an accurate gaming experience.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a high quality wireless mouse that has corded accuracy, than this is the mouse for you. Another brilliant design from Targus, definitely one to check out for those in the market for a small and accurate mouse.
