Samsung UM10 8mm Ultraslim Mouse Review

I've been looking for a nice mouse that's functional and thin so that it's easier to store in my bag, and while looking around randomly today thinking whether to hoot the Memorex Laser mouse (Which is quite big but got retractable cable), I saw the Samsung mouse in a locked away shelf.

PICTURESSSSS


Yes, the packaging is reallt small.


Shot of the mouse after taking out of box. SO SMALL! And retractable cord FTW!


SO THIN.


A small and THICK pouch to protect your mouse with.



Functionality
Don't be fooled by the size. There's a total of 5 functions on that mouse itself, or you can say it's like having 5 buttons. The button in the middle simulates the left click for those curious. As for the other buttons? It's all on the wheel itself. Clicking the right side on the wheel itself triggers the right click of a mouse. Left side of wheel is the middle click, while the top and bottom is back/forward on your favourite browser.

Ergonomics
Sorry people, if you want ergonomics, this thing has absolutely none. It's good for your normal office day to day use, and the wheel is really handy to work with. If you want to game with this, forget it. I tried using it for about 2 hours and didn't feel any strain on my hands, so that's a good thing. It takes a while to get used to.

Final Word
So is it worth the price? It's up to you to decide if you want something small and light. To me, it's a really good investment because it goes into my bag without causing an unsightly bulge, so no complaints here.
