We purchased the Sabrent Mini Travel Mouse so that our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and review it. Read on for our full product review.

Working on the go can be tough on a laptop, especially when you’re working on heavy projects that require precision. Travel mice, or portable computer mice that can be packed and unpacked on the go, can alleviate many of the proverbial headaches of working on PC-intensive tasks. For those who prefer a wired mouse, the Sabrent is the way to go. Using high-definition precision technology, the tiny, three-year-old mouse is designed for those who want convenience and extreme precision in their work.

The Sabrent isn’t designed for heavy gaming; its small design at 3.2 x 1.5 inches (LW) means it fits in the cup of your palm with room to spare. Unlike gaming mice, which can be complex with an overabundance of buttons/features, the all-black, 1.5-ounce mouse only has three buttons: the left (main) button, the wheel, and the right button. While this may seem off-putting to some users, it actually proves to be a huge advantage. Thanks to its simplicity, ambidextrous users will appreciate the ability to switch between dominant hands.

It’s important to keep in mind that this is a wired, ergonomic mouse that relies on a USB port connection. So while it doesn’t require batteries, it can be problematic if you need more than the 25 inches that the cable provides. The cable itself extends by gently pulling on the cable from its own mini port, and is easily retracted by pulling on either side of the cable. Be careful when retracting, as it’s similar to a roller blind in that it retracts with almost violent force.
