My new optical mouse.

Does it read credit cards?

Mmmm, Asda own brand pies.

That's what mine has - but for ?6.45 I'm not worried.

I don't think it's too large. It fits snuggly in my hand - but I might have bigger hands than you?

Mine cost just ?6.45 from Asda. !happy!

How on earth do you turn it off? Even when the computer is switch-off and unplugged the little red light underneath the mouse still shines. I had to remove both batteries to disable it. Surely there's a simpler way?

!confused!

Hmm ?6.45 and you want a fucking on/off button, sure you'll be looking in the box to see if it "shipped" with a remote control next Trumper. Pretty annoying having to change the batteries on these little blighters though and my next set will have its own wee recharging cradle.
Trust are basically an OEM seller and offer pretty solid and reliable gear (power supplies, speakers etc.) but not near as good as the big players in the desktop business Logitech and Microshaft imho.

my mouse has got a tiny switch on bottom but its really flimsy so rather use that and risk it breaking cos its so flimsy i just leave battery cover off n just lift battery when i turn pc off
