Pros:
* Bluetooth compatibility (see cons)
* Built-in laser pointer
* Quality carrying case for both mouse and bluetooth adapter --- the carrying case is extremely well designed
* 5-button bluetooth mouse --- very few 5-button bluetooth mice are available; this was a significant purchasing point for me
Cons:
* Unreliable --- it will often simply stop working in the middle of a session of use, after which it must be turned off (using switch on bottom) and turned back on
* Goes to sleep too readily --- after about 30 seconds of non-use, e.g., when typing in a field while browsing the web, the mouse will apparently go to sleep; to wake it up you must click one of the buttons
* Overly small size --- I've used mice of many shapes and sizes and this is the first which is actually painful to use; I'm a man with very average hands (ring size 9.5); use for more than 30 minutes often results in muscle pain
* Unresponsive middle (on scroll wheel) button --- the middle button often simply does not work, even when you hear a distinct click; it also seems like it has multiple depths/intensities of clicks, much like a camera shutter button, which may cause/exacerbate this problem
* Poor placement of buttons 4 and 5, i.e., back and forward buttons --- buttons 4 and 5 are difficult to reach, making their presence almost non-functional; their integration and positioning will often require fully re-seating the mouse under your fingers to reach them
* Poor Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) compatibility --- while the mouse will **occasionally** work in Linux, most commonly it will not actually control the system after it has connected
Note that with all of the comments above I have used both the internal bluetooth chip in my laptop and the large adapter provided with the mouse. Both have the same cons.
Note also that the bluetooth adapter included with the mouse is about 3.5cm long, making it less than ideal for use with laptops when not placed in a stationary location, e.g., desk.
