A little flatter than a normal mouse, so it packs in the work bag well. Nice rubberized texture. Light up wheel. Good pairing with a Lenovo laptop, for cosmetics purposes. But a good mouse overall, regardless of laptop type you have.

Product title says IBM, but really its a Lenovo thinkpad travel mouse. Mouse is tiny, definitely meant for use on the go. Works well enough, nothing wrong with it. Does everything that a regular 3-button mouse does. Works for me on a wooden desk without a mouse pad. Keep in mind if you’re looking for something regular sized this is probably not for you. Can’t speak for longevity as of this moment, but I’ll edit this review if it breaks.

I work overseas most of the time and must travel to temporary work venues. Replacement batteries for Bluetooth wireless mice are not readily available. This small, wired mouse is light, great for traveling. It took some getting used to at first because my hand seemed to swallow it, but after a while I sensed that the angle between my right index finger and the left button was more comfortable and required less force than for a normal sized mouse. I would have rated it 5 stars, but the wheel is not quite as smooth for scrolling as its Lenovo wired ‘big brother’ that I’m more accustomed to.

I first got a IBM mini travel mouse in about 2004 when I bought my first notebook – IBM ThinkPad. It came with the notebook. However, it broke after about one year at which time I contacted IBM and received a free replacement. I had been using that replacement travel mouse ever since for more than 6 years and it worked perfectly on my current notebook- Macbook. However, the scroll button finally wore out last Saturday (3 days ago). I tried to repair it but to no avail.
Luckily I had another new IBM mouse in my house as a backup (for precisely such a situation). However, it is a standard size mouse and it is not nearly as good as the mini-sized mouse. The standard size mouse’s biggest weakness was that pointing was not precise and moving the cursor was sluggish. The mini-size mouse was able to move to exactly where I want it to be.
I immediately came to Amazon to see if I could buy another IBM mini travel mouse and luckily found it. The package arrived today and I am already using it. The same speed and precision has come back after 2 days of frustration. I am happy with this mouse and I unreservedly recommend it to anyone.

This is the best-designed mouse I’ve ever used. Although they are manufactured now by Lenovo, this model is still based on the original IBM design. I do on-screen design work that requires precision control, and I’ve built a collection of various mice searching for the best physical feel to the hand with the best on-screen performance and precision. I have at least average-to-larger hands for a man, yet I’ve found that these small-to-medium, travel-size mice provide better physical control. And among the variety of travel mice I’ve tried, this one is the best. I use it with both my desktop computer and laptop.

A great mouse for small hands. I have small hands (I wear a size 2 wedding band), so this is the best mouse all around. My husband already has one for when he travels, and he let me use it when the mouse for my desk top died. It was so great that I threated to keep it until he bought me one of my own.

Dec 2020 update:
Beware. The two that I just ordered DO NOT have the translucent scroll wheel that lights up red when connected and powered up. Otherwise they are the exact same size and shape. I’m sure they work fine but the lighted scroll wheel is a useful indicator as to whether or not the machine is powered on and the mouse USB connection is good. These newer ones cannot do that and they are more cheaply made and therefore only rate 4 stars.
Further update Dec 26 2020:
I have discovered a problem with these mice that have the scroll wheel that lights up red when powered up. They had a special soft texture feel to them and when they sit in storage for a long time in their original packaging, which is inside a poly-vinyl bag, the bag plastics react with the coating and turns the entire mouse surface into a sticky mess. It happened to 2 of mine that were bought new and sat unused and required lacquer thinner to get it off and cleaned up. It also happened on some of my older ones that have IBM on them – same coating. It’s a shame because these are / were the best travel mice around. They do clean up, but that’s a PITA and you lose the nice feel of original never messed up ones..
I do have a few that were not in plastic / vinyl bags forever and they are fine, so it’s got to be a chemical reaction. The newer mice with the solid red wheel that does not light up have a different casing with no coating and they do not have this problem, but those are cheaper (thinner wires, cheaper USB plug, etc.) and don’t have the lighted wheel either.
So if you have one, enjoy it, but any “new old stock” ones out there are likely to be a sticky mess unless you strip off the outer coating with distillates.
Original review which applies to the the mice with the scroll wheel that lights up:
These are my favorite travel mice. I like how the scroll wheel lights up red. It makes it easy to see if it has power. Very compact but still easy to use with large hands. The size makes it the best travel mouse. These are way out of production, so you can only find them used. There is a newer Lenovo marked travel mouse but the scroll wheel doesn’t light up like these do. I have several spares in case one goes bad.
Five stars ONLY to the ones with the lighted scroll wheel, and are not all sticky. 4 for the newer ones.

It is not surprising that Lenovo created this awesome mouse. It is small and cool, just what I wanted. The quality is perfect. It works excellent with my Thinkpad x220. I am running Linux as OS, just plug and play.

Great mouse. I like that the scroll wheel does not incorporate Page-Back or Page-Forward — just the scroll function. Prevents a lot of mistakes.

Four year after using still works great. I opened it and cleaned it once. A bit pricy though that’s why I gave 4 stars. I guess you can get other mouse cheaper but truly quality wise it works 5 star!.
