The Gear Head laser wireless rechargeable mouse is an affordable mouse that offers precision pointing, laser tracking and scores of personalization options that will satisfy the needs of most users. With five programmable buttons, dual-way scrolling action, and a rechargeable battery system (two AA batteries and a desktop charging pad), the Gear Head cordless mouse offers much more for less than $50 than most mice in its class.

Features
- Personalization
A five-button mouse for $50 is a deal from the beginning. But, with Gear Head's personalization options, it will feel like it costs more.
The mouse offers programmable buttons, which will be appreciated the most by the gamers out there. The erogonomic design makes your hand feel like the mouse was made just for you. It is that same design, however, that does tend to make the mouse seem bulky, which may bother those who move the mouse around quickly or frequently -- or, obviously, those with a very cluttered desktop or a small working space.
Performance
With five-buttons, the Gear Head may seem more like what a gamer needs, but it still offers great qualities for the everyday user. The scroll allows you to move both up and down and side to side. Using laser sensing technology, the mouse moves around the screen easily. But the factory default sensitivity for this can actually be overly sensitive, which may be a problem for those who need quick precision from their mouse.
Additionally, the mouse comes with two rechargeable batteries and a desktop charging pad. It should be noted, however, that the charger will only work when the computer is on.
