More Details

Physical description
* Both the Little Mouse and the Tiny Mouse are shaped like a standard mouse but are smaller in size
* Both are shaped to allow use by both left or right handed users
* Two models are available of each mouse including a PS/2 and serial combination or USB connector (the USB connector allows an additional mouse to be connected at the same time)
* The Tiny Mouse USB model is also available with a standard cord (1.8m) or a short cord (76cm) to help reduce cord clutter on the desktop.

Activation
* Both have left and right mouse buttons which are colour coded with blue and red dots. Mouse Driver Software is provided with each mouse. The software provided with Tiny Mouse allows customisation of the scroll wheel
* The scroll wheel on Tiny Mouse may be used as a universal scroll wheel if not used to emulate a keyboard key or function. The scroll speed is adjustable, allowing scrolling of 1-20 lines at a time, or one page at a time with each scroll click
* The scroll wheel on Tiny Mouse may be used as a double click
* Two mice can be connected at the same time

Computer system requirements
* Compatible with Microsoft Windows operating systems

Considerations

* The smaller size of these mouses make them suitable for users with small hands
* Where standard mouse buttons are difficult for double click, activation of the scroll wheel on the Tiny Mouse maybe beneficial as it requires a single activation for double clicking
* Two mice can be connected at the same time making it useful for teaching purposes
* The shape of the mouse enables either left or right handed use
