Verbatim Wired Optical USB-C Mini Mouse – Plug & Play Corded Small Travel Mouse – Black 70744

I hate using the touchpad on my laptop. I started using a mini usb mouse a couple of years ago and love them, especially if they have a retractable cable and even more if they come in colors other than black and/or gray. When my last one stopped working, I went to my local place, and they were out. All they had that was close to my budget of "as cheap as possible" was a pink flowery regular sized wireless mouse at $12. I ended up buying that one because I really hate the touchpad more than I hate a regular-sized wireless mouse. After two days of using it, I gave up and went on Amazon. There were other minis that cost about the same as this one, but this one had the retractable cable and a cute color (pink). I have not been careful with this mouse. I've dropped it a few times onto a hard floor, and I've left it dangling on the side of the table more than a few times when not in use. I've also been known to carry the laptop around with the mouse dangling. Just a side note, I don't take the laptop & mouse out of the house, but it is used daily, mostly by me and my husband and occasionally the teenager. I'm sure they're not careful with the mouse since it doesn't belong to them. Even so, it still works GREAT. When I first got it, I plugged it in and within seconds it was ready to go. I love it because it's compact but still easy to use; retracts so that there are no cables dangling all over the place when not in use and I don't lose it like I lose wireless ones; and because it's pink (same color as in the picture). It also didn't hurt that it was $6.68 and had Prime. I have regular-sized girl hands and fingers and the mouse is comfortable for me to use. These wired minis usually last me several months, not quite a year. I will update when it stops working.

Love it. Purchased for my new laptop because I hate using the touchpad. I like that the mouse is connected - I always seem to have issues with the bluetooth enabled mouse - either it "goes to sleep" and I have to wake it up, or it drops connection. Much prefer the corded ones. This one I can adjust the length of the cord - very handy. It's comfortable but small enough to fit in my laptop case and not be bulky. Scrolling speed is normal - no lag.

I took it out of the box, attempted to unwind the cord, and it shot out the sides of the holder in a tight, tangled mess. I was unable to extract it any further, or retract what had already been pulled out. I didn't want to damage or break the cord at that point, so I unscrewed the mechanism and removed it from the plastic holder. As a USB-C mouse, it seems to work fine. Albeit it's tiny, but that is exactly what I wanted. I purchased this specifically to take with me on a trip next week, to use with my laptop, so I'm pretty disappointed it's not as 'travel-friendly' as it should be. The 'retract mechanism' should have been solid, with the mouse cord fully enclosed. Having open sides is a huge design flaw, IMO. But, seeing as it's only a ten-dollar item, it's not designed to last, it's designed to be replaced. Often. There's no profit in longevity. Obviously the opinion of other folks will vary, and perhaps I just got a bad one, but I cannot recommend this particular mouse since it does not work as advertised (for me).

I got this to go in my laptop bag. I used to have a similar tiny mouse years ago, but it has since gone to where tech devices go to pass away peacefully. Anyway, used this during my vacation and it worked great. Love that it doesn't need batteries. The retractable cord pulls out to be plenty long enough for me to work without noticing any limitations of length. The color is bright and easy to recognize in a bag. Plugged it into my laptop and it started working. I wanted it to be able to do some photo editing while on the go.

I use this at work, I work on the shop floor and carry a notebook computer to work on the floor. I keep this in my pocket when not in use and the mouse is small enough to use on the solid surface under the keyboard and touchpad. The retractable cord stops it from tangling, I also get complements on a cute baby mouse. The mouse is holding up for living in my bag, pocket and in use getting dropped and whatnot. Update the mouse lasted 5 months of 50 hour weeks and not an easy life, I will be reordering as I like the small size for me and my computer size. Has some trouble with it reading motion on slick surface but was no problem to move to another surface. I am not sure what broke but it looks fine just won't click and the laser will not come on. I still recommend this mouse

When my 4 year-old started playing ABC Mouse on the tablet, our mouse was too big for her hands. And forget a touchpad. This mouse is the perfect size for her to manipulate with ease.

We ordered these in Feb. 2023. Initially, this retractable corded mini mouse worked great. Until it stopped working even while being plugged in and the red laser was on. Since this was a pack of two, we got the other one (new) and plugged it in, but the computer said that it cannot recognize the device. This was very disappointing. Of course, I waited over 2 months to contact the seller with those problems, and now, as of this week, the "support window is closed. I will not be reordering these mini mice.

Works just fine. I don’t like wireless stuff due to battery hassles. This is perfect if you like your mouse on the small side like I do.

Mouse in the house, Clicks not loud! USB-C cable, Makes a laptop able!!

The Verbatim USB coded mini travel optical wired mouse is compact with nice design. Great product and highly recommend for use.

Acceptable quality

I bought this item for my tablet/laptop/phone. It performs brilliantly, P&P connectivity, without the need for an adapter to USB-A. Visually striking, well designed and comfortable in the hand, it's a great product which I have no hesitation in recommending.

Great little travel mouse that sadly died exactly one year later. Cable at point of entry to mouse problem. Sadly no longer available
