Dell WM524 Wireless Bluetooth Travel Mouse

works as advertised. We now have 3 of these travel mice [mouses]

The mouse is nicely built. In that, I mean it does not feel like a cheap piece of trash. The batteries add a nice weight to it and the white sensor light on the bottom adds to the good look and feel of the device. The additional buttons are on both sides for ease of use for left and right handed people. The battery compartment can be accessed by lifting the top of the mouse. The battery compartment cover or the top of the mouse, is secured by a strong magnet that do not come off accidentally. You need to pull it off deliberately for it to come off.Included in the package, a blister pack, are two AA Duracells, and the regular paperwork. One of the pages shows all the neat gestures the mouse can do to navigate around the Windows 8 interface. Two of these gestures are really cool: bringing up the charms menu, and quick app switching. Although, I'm not sure how useful these are in Windows 10.I'm using this mouse on an android 4.4 tablet along with a bluetooth keyboard. So when both are connected the pointer skips sometimes. But, if I connect the mouse first, and then connect other bluetooth devices, all of them work almost properly. The mouse still skips once in a while but very rarely.Edit: The reason for the 'skipping cursor' problem seems to be the Wi-Fi. Both BT and Wi-Fi work on the same bandwidth. Changing it in the router settings fixed the problem.Lag fix on Windows: Turn on Bluetooth collaboration if you're using the mouse along with other bluetooth devices simultaneously.Lag fix on Android: Connect mouse before connecting other devices.Lag due to Wi-Fi router fix: Change 11n channel bandwidth setting to use 20 MHz only.

Love this mouse. Paired seamlessly with my XPS 13 with Win 8.1, and maintains connection perfectly. It took me a while to find out how to operate the side button, but now that I know, it works great. I am not much of the touchpad person, and though touchscreen is good to have, for me there is no replacement for the good mouse. This one is small enough to be my travel mouse for now, and it operates on batteries, which is another plus for my. I really do not like rechargable ones, that's why I went with this one instead of WM713, which seems to be thinner. Might still consider WM713, since I use my laptop pretty much for travel only. That leaves both of my USB ports free.About the size of the mouse - Amazon states that the dimensions are 5.9 x 8.2 x 3.5 Inches - which I assume is the package size? And who needs the package size for the travel mouse?Anyway, real dimensions of this mouse - 3.75 x 2.1 x 1.25 inches. It works on 2 AA batteries, which I assume will last for a while (I am using it for a month only, and cannot comment on longevity at this time). Cover is attached by magnets only, but they secure it pretty well - I never had a problem with it so far, and one needs to apply some effort to take it off. It is so far my best BT mouse (comparing to 2 razer mice and GearHead mouse). However, as I said, this is a dell mouse and I'm using it with dell laptop, so may be they are compatible.

Feels great in your hand. Easy open to replace batteries. However, stopped working after using just a few times. Called Dell direct and cannot get anyone who can speak clear English on the phone. Spent more than 5 hours with Dell wanting to trouble shoot a non working mouse. They then sent me a cheap piece of crap in place of this mouse. Will never by from them again.

Like the blue tooth option, works perfectly well.
