    Only an Idiot Would Buy This Mouse

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Frankly, it was a piece of junk. It would not "copy and paste" or "copy" at all. It also would not "scroll down" along the edge of screens as a good mouse world. It would only move down by constantly "clicking and clicking" which took forever. It would turn itself off for no apparent reason, however, when you wanted to turn it off by moving the switch on the bottom it would do so. Only an idiot would buy this item. BestBuy did not seem to care since it was such a "low margin" item.

    The outer, shipping package was intact. But when removed, it was clear that the box had been opened. The battery was missing, and the nano receiver was not there. This means that the mouse was worthless. THERE IS NO USB RECEIVER! Because I didn't open the package for 15 days, it's unreturnable.
