Umax Power Klik 108 Optical Mouse

Impressive laser mouse with lightening quick response

This device from Umax left a good impression. It shows a good response time and is really fast. This laser mouse seemed to work very well on different surfaces. The mouse is quite light too.

The response on mouse pad was lightning quick.  It sports an amazingly quick 1,600dpi (dots per inch) resolution. Also, without the mouse pad, the mouse did not hang up and was very smooth in navigation. The looks are quite decent with a black and gray combination.  It connects to your PC via a USB port. PS/2, USB and combo ports are available and the device is compatible with Windows 98/2000/ME/XP/Vista and Mac.

It sports a comfortable ergonomic design, with added points for being ambidextrous. It sticks to a simple three-button layout, which you can configure however you desire. The central scroll wheel is broad and offers good feel. The wheel scroll is a surprisingly very smooth and functions fluidly. The scroll wheel doubles up as the central mouse click button. When powered the scroll wheel glows blue.

The ergonomics of the mouse are quite good; however we felt that the device could have done better with a little less vertical dimension. Had the surface curvature been a bit less accentuated, the operating hands would have been a bit more comfortable. However, it depends on personal choice anyways.

The Power Klik 108 is definitely not being marketed as a gaming mouse unlike Logitech MX518’s, and for a regular computing mouse this one serves good. The simple controls, decent look and good ergonomics makes it a worthy buy in its category.
