  • GE Wireless Optical Mouse...H097990...Happy Birthday To Me!

    Dec 23 '05
    Pros: *Great colors
    *Comfortable design
    Cons: *This thing EATS batteries!

    Summary: This review is a difficult one to write. Not because I’m no techie, although that is quite true, but the subject of this review, General Electric Wireless Optical Mouse was a birthday gift from my hubby. About a month before my birthday he ... read more

  • GE Wireless Computer Mouse

    Jan 25 '06
    Pros: Ergonomic design, easy to install, price was good.
    Cons: Eats batteries like crazy!

    Summary: This mouse was very easy to set up, taking only a couple of minutes. This was my first wireless mouse and I really liked that feature, plus the ergonomic design was very comfortable and it moved smoothly and quickly. I would've been very happy with this ... read more

  • Terrible on batteries!

    Apr 09 '05
    Pros: I love the ability to be wireless and optical!
    Cons: The batteries drain so bloody quick! The last set lasted less than a week!

    Summary: I love this mouse. At least I think I do. It's great because I don't have to worry about wrapping a cord around everything, switching from left to right (I'm a leftie) or even working on my lap when one of my furbabies decides she wants to sleep in ... read more

  • Tech support rates an 'F'

    Sep 05 '04
    Pros: Inexpensive. Looks good.
    Cons: Mouse-button programming is incompatible with WindowsXP SP2 O/S (for Revision 2 mouse).

    Summary: This is a 'pretty' mouse, feels good to the hand. That's where the good news ends. The instruction manual clearly states that the mouse supports the Windows XP operating system. It's fairly easy to follow. It gives a phone number, as well as a web ... read more

  • GE should stick to Household Appliances

    Jul 11 '04
    Pros: Wireless mouse that inexpensive and has good optical quality
    Cons: Almost everything, it died in 2 months, and can't scroll, is sluggish.

    Summary: After having problems with my Gateway optical mouse, I took a trip to the local Target to look for and inexpensive mouse. Not really a computer master yet, I was looking at wireless mice, which I know now are not great for online gaming. Seeing a ... read more

  • Express Reviews
  • Worked Fine... for a while

    May 01 '10
    Pros: Well it was cheap and worked for a while.
    Cons: Quit working. No support at GE website that I could find.

    Summary: Like all the other write ups. Mine worked just fine for a while. Now I start my system and the mouse may or may not work for couple seconds. Then it just stops. The receiver end flashes when I move the mouse so it looks like something is happening but he

  • Good while it lasted, but didn't last long

    Jul 05 '06
    Pros: Nice clean fast cheap battery-efficient
    Cons: Failed suddenly and without cause

    Summary: Bought this at Target for $20 Good points: I experienced very low battery consumption, but it sounds like I may be the only one. Nice mouse, quick and precise, both in Windows and Linux (No extra drivers required in either). The optical sensor died

  • PIECE OF CRAP

    Feb 08 '06
    Pros: FITS MY SMALL HAND GREAT
    Cons: JUST QUIT WORKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

    Summary: WORKED GREAT FOR ABOUT 8 DAYS...THEN NOTHING. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING TO REPROGRAM IT, NEW BATTERIES...NOTHING. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!

  • What a mistake I made!!!

    Nov 16 '05
    Pros: nice looking and makes a good paperweight
    Cons: it's reliable only 5% of the time.

    Summary: This is the worst mouse/pointing device I have even used in all my years of computing. I recommend ANYTHING but this device. It worked good for a couple of days and then because spotty, jerky, or wouldn't work at all. What a waste.

  • Works Great For 2+ Years

    Jul 31 '05
    Pros: Great Freedom & Preciseness
    Cons: None

    Summary: I've had my mouse for nearly two years. I think it will always work properly if you know how to use it. It looks like many people on here complain of the mouse quitting after a short period of time... the only time I have problems with the mouse

  • Great Value & solid performance

    Jun 23 '04
    Pros: 5' range and 256 security code channels
    Cons: none yet

    Summary: I purchased the Microsoft "Blue" wireless mouse and hated it because the electrical interference rendered it useless. Comparing this new mouse to the MS one in the exact same environment means that the playing field is even and this one performs way

  • Poor tracking, choppy movement

    Mar 25 '04
    Pros: inexpensive
    Cons: doesn't scroll smoothly

    Summary: Despite the claim that this mouse provides 800 dpi for greater movement resolution than other wireless optical mice, it was pretty choppy for me. Moving the receiver away from my DSL modem/router gave a little improvement, however it still was hit or

  • DON'T BOTHER!

    Mar 17 '04
    Pros: None, when you consider it lasts less than two weeks
    Cons: HUNK OF JUNK

    Summary: I can hardly believe it but this mouse stopped working in exactly 10 days also, just like another reviewer. It was a leap of faith for us to try wireless and optical, our previous mouse (original equipment which lasted three years)died and we had no way

  • GE Wireless Optical Mouse

    Jan 04 '04
    Pros: Back and Forward IE buttons on the side of the mouse.
    Cons: STOPPED WORKING!

    Summary: The mouse has many wonderful features, such as built-in back and forward buttons for Internet Explorer. The mouse comes with a wireless RF receiver that can attach to your USB or mouse connection. It comes with its own software to customize the button
