Verbatim Wireless Laser Nano Mouse
January 26, 2010 | Computer, Peripheral | Comments OffAlthough Logitech, Microsoft and Razer are major players when it comes to keyboards and mice, there are many other manufacturers market devices. Verbatim, perhaps best known as a manufacturer of storage media, is actually a wide range of mouse on offer – from models to play with all the bells and whistles to the small Nano Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse we look today.
Same size as the Logitech Cordless Laser Notebook Mouse, this symmetrical little rodent comes with a tiny wireless receiver that operates at 2.4GHz and uses the laser sensor near ubiquity of tracking movements. In the absence of metal parts and flowing two AAA batteries, Verbatim’s Nano weighs only 85g, and it does not feel as solid as the model of Logitech or Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000.
To be honest, it does not feel so well constructed that one of these mice either, with very minor niggles here and there, detracting from the experience. These include the insertion of the battery a little clumsy and the dongle require a very firm push to get it out of its spring slot – but at least there is no chance it would ever come by accident. Note on the minor problems mentioned above can be excused considering that the mouse does not cost almost half the price of those we compared.
The main body of the mouse is soft plastic matte black with shiny black bands on each side, if the soft-touch top section can also be done in blue, red and pink – more purple, green, graphite and yellow if you are lucky enough to live in the United States. It is also refreshing to find a manufacturer who merely refers to colors by their real names! The ergonomics of this mouse is ambidextrous, meanwhile, are decent. Although its shape does not support your palm the way back arched the Logitech V550 Nano fact, it’s still fun to use, at about the same level as Microsoft Mobile 6000. The slight indents in the mouse buttons and the two parties support the toes. [via trustedreviews]
