Buyer Reviews :
This is the best computer peripheral I've ever purchased.

One day God decided to remind me that I'm a psychology student and not a computer programmer, which he accomplished by interrupting my successful web design career with debilitating carpal tunnel syndrome. So I went out looking for an optical mouse (and braces, and an ergo keyboard, and a better chair, and a big big bottle of ibuprofen). Thus I came upon the Kensington MIAB Optical Pro. Now look -- I can even waste keystrokes typing silly reviews on Amazon [.com]!

With four buttons plus a clickable scroll wheel, this mouse offers a great many opportunities to reduce wrist-flinging. It comes with customization software that allows you to define different click-equivalents for different programs. It's not perfect, but it's made my work much slicker and more pleasant.

The best part came when the mouse broke. The Kensington tech actually _listened_ to my report of the problem and the hardware-testing I'd done to diagnose it. He immediately shipped me a replacement, even before asking that I send back the damaged mouse. This kind of service is even more valuable to me than the product itself.
