apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

We've been using the mouse for over two weeks now, and there are two things we've had to get used to: 1) the smaller size, and 2) the different location of the laser from our usual mouse.

We found ourselves holding our arm in a funny position at first, which was tiring, until we got over it, and then it was fine. The laser is near the "top," if you will (see pic below), instead of the middle of the bottom, which threw us off on minute adjustments we were making during our design work.

The flat panel scroll also functions as a quick-scroll when you press the panel down and move the mouse in the general direction of up or down; it swiftly scrolls in the respective direction. The dongle is small and is entirely contained by the mouse when in place for travel, which also turns the mouse off/on when removed.

Here's the RocketFish when twisted flat for travel; the red button allows you to access customizable features when you load the accompanying software onto your computer. We were skeptical at first, why does a mouse need a software program? What kind of crud is going to be loaded onto our computer? Though we can't personally vouch for crud not being loaded onto your computer through this software, it appear innocuous, and adds another useful dimension of functionality. Here's the "bottom" view...you can see we weren't using the travel case it came with, and therefore, the glossy black surface is getting scratched and scuffed.
