(More customer reviews)I needed a basic thin wireless mouse that I could pack into my laptop PC carry bag that wouldn't create a bulky avocado sized lump. The Kensington SlimBlade K72283US (Ice Blue color) fit the bill almost perfectly. I found mine on Amazon for $10 less than the Kensington K72285US which is the identical product except in a deep blue color. The deep blue model would have netted out to the same price but only after dealing with the hassles of a mail-in rebate.
I like the fact that Kensington micro USB transceiver can be stored inside the mouse when it's not in use. I don't like the fact that the micro transceiver isn't the smallest available in the market. When in use, it protrudes out from the laptop USB port by almost an inch.
As a basic mouse, the Kensington tracks well, feels OK in your hand, and gets the job done.
I have a couple minor complaints about the plastic finish and the scroll wheel. The plastic is extremely smooth and it would have been better if there were just a tiny bit of texture for better grip. The same goes for the scroll wheel. It has a fake plastic chrome finish and I find my forefinger slipping over the wheel sometimes instead of turning the wheel. A rubber finish or better texturing would help.
The mouse will also function as a wireless presentation "clicker" allowing you to move forward or backward in your PowerPoint or similar presentation software up to about 25 feet away from your PC.
I was able to get all the features that I wanted to work without having to install the Kensington supplied software. I plugged in the USB micro RF transceiver and the mouse just worked. There's another feature that allows you to tilt the scroll wheel left and right to pan left or right in your presentation or browser and that might require the software but I haven't tried it.
Overall I'm happy with the Kensington SlimBlade mouse when traveling with my laptop PC. For more extended use at home, I prefer my larger Logitech wireless mouse.
