Description: This is a comfortable mouse in both hands. However the middle button is nearly inacessable due to the fact that the tilt wheel is triggered first.
Also there is no tactile feedback from the scroll wheel, leaving you (and many programs) to wonder about how many units you wanted.

Otherwise the battery life is much extened over previous models
Keywords: wireless optical mouse tilt wheel

Works fine when plugged into USB. Did NOT work with stock 2.4.29 Slackware kernel, but when I upgraded to 2.6 it worked instantly. Mouse wheel works fine, haven't figured out how to get the tilt wheel operable yet.
