EEE 1000 fits inside the main compartment well and the power adapter fits inside the other pocket. It is not as smooth and flat when the power adapter is put in the pocket, but it is convenient for grabbing everything as one set.

I really love the fact it starts and shutdowns so fast. People complained about the battery sticking out and not being able to fit in the case. You should buy the case from Senyx. They have exact ones for this netbook. Mines fits perfectly.

Plugged it into my iMac (OS 10. 5. x) and it worked perfectly. Everything worked, in fact – including the “side scrolling” feature that we were warned would only work in Vista. . . the only thing that there is no way to map “center click” since the Mac sees it as a generic USB mouse. I suspect at 3rd party driver would fix that, but I never have felt a burning need for center click.

The tracking, as mentioned, is way too fast with default settings. I had to ramp it down to the lower end of the speed setting to avoid crashing from edge to edge of my 24″ screen. . . but it’s fine now.

I really like the scroll strip – it’s much like the one on the Kensington studio mice (from a few years ago when Kensington actually made products you’d want to buy). It scrolls smoothly for me, but it could be that it’s moisture sensitive like some trackpads and is fussier with others’ fingers. The side scrolling is clearly an afterthought, given the width of the finger strip – but it works OK. It’s no mighty mouse, but for $10 it’s good value IMHO.

I like the chocolate brown, but many won’t. It’s your only color choice. The rubberized coating is one of those soft, velvet-touch sort of satin rubbers, and it does feel a little odd. It’s not bad, just odd. The buttons under it are a little spongy because of the coating, but they work OK. I wouldn’t call it precise and it wouldn’t do for anyone trying to time their sniper fire or “click on the monkey”

The tracking seems fine, but claiming that it tracks on glass may be a bit rich. It works on my satin finish screen, paper, a plastic bag, my shorts and my mouse pad (crazy idea), but it didn’t work on the glossy white iMac case. . . so glass seems unlikely.

I may buy more for a client of mine whose office gets through mice at a frightening rate. This one looks coffee resistant. I have not yet washed my mouse. . . not something I usually find that I need to do.

If you have a black or dark netbook you’ll never realize about the stains, but what if you put a document inside?

You can’t change themes

No personalization

Can’t log out

No DVD support

No XP mode

There are more features left out, but the point is, there is no reason I should be paying more for a netbook with Windows 7 Starter than the same netbook with Windows XP, when 7 limits what I can do. Right now I am considering trying to return this for a full refund or seeing if I can load a Mac OS on. Again, the netbook is a good choice, but pay attention to the operating system before buying.

How the Washable Mouse differs from most of the other mouses out there is that it can be, as the name implies, washed. And not just wiped off, but rinsed under running water. All mouses become dirty after a while, no matter how good your hygiene is. And you usually dig out some cleaner and a cloth to gently rub the gunk off. The Washable Mouse makes it so you can be more liberal with your cleaner and water if you choose. I just had to douse the mouse in water to see how it held up, and it worked just fine after wiping it down with a towel.

The mouse looks and feels like a traditional mouse except that the top part your hand sets on is sealed in a rubber-like coat. The Washable Mouse features two buttons (if you push them both you get a center-click, something I’ve never found a use for) and a unique Scroll Pad. The Scroll Pad has no moving parts and is touch sensitive. The Scroll Pad can also side scroll but the oblong shape of it, about the width of your finger, does not bode well for side scrolling.

The Washable Mouse tracks well, although I did have to turn my speed way down from my Mighty Mouse settings. That’s mainly because Apple sets the Mighty Mouse at such slow speeds that I always have to crank tracking up one notch from the top speed. As for the Scroll Pad, it didn’t seem to scroll very well vertically or horizontally. It was as if it wasn’t sensing my fingers some of the time. I found it very frustrating to use.

I found the left and right click buttons to be placed in an uncomfortable position and they felt, well, just plain weird. The rubber coating over the buttons had a much different feel than a traditional mouse.

And the mouse is small. Really small. Granted, Belkin does list the Washable Mouse in their laptop accessories area so that probably explains the small size. That said, I found the mouse just uncomfortable in general.

If you need a mouse that you can clean when it gets funky, the Washable Mouse is definitely for you. You may not be happy with the size and certainly you won’t be impressed with the Scroll Pad, but you’ll have the cleanest mouse in the neighborhood.
