I set up my grade school daughter on an older laptop with Ubuntu 9.10 Linux. I used Linux, obviously, so she can't get in trouble and mess up the computer with adware/spyware/malware/viruses. My daughter always preferred to borrow my wife's corded mouse when she used her laptop, as the trackpad is just not that comfortable. Corded mice and laptops (actually anything plugged into USB ports) make me nervous, especially with kids. I can just imagine the plugs/dongles getting banged, and having a USB port broken, or worse. As luck would have it, even though the laptop is older (IBM R50), it has built in Bluetooth. So I bought this mouse because it is Bluetooth AND red. (Girls usually want red). Ubuntu recognized the mouse right out of the box and worked immediately. No drivers required. No muss, no fuss. This mouse is just the right size for smaller hands. Top side of the mouse has a soft, matte, feel. I am giving it not quite a full 5 stars, because the bottom side of the mouse has a shiny, toy-like look. If the bottom side was perhaps a different texture, I would give a full 5 star rating. If you are running Ubuntu Linux, I highly recommend this mouse.Get more detail about Pro Click Mobile Bluetooth Wireless Notebook Mouse for Mac/PC--Spice Red.
