Our Verdict

The Comfort Mouse performed exceptionally well with no apparent signal break up or need for external USB dongle, supplied with some earlier mice, to ensure a connection. The freedom to scroll wirelessly is a real plus here, although a mousemat still makes sense when sitting at a desk. Usage over extended time remained comfortable and the small footprint makes the Belkin an ideal travel partner or for those short of desk space.

Belkin offers a range of devices under the Comfort Mouse brand including this top-of-the-range Bluetooth option. Small, slim and stylish, the Bluetooth Comfort Mouse is light even with batteries and extremely tactile in the hand.

Set-up took less than a minute under System Preferences and required little in the way of tweaking. A laser optical sensor makes gliding across most surfaces a breeze and the mouse sports vertical and horizontal scrolling.
