Does this function seamlessly with Excel - as in "as easy if not easier than a standard mouse"?

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "easier than a standard mouse" but I wouldn't recommend this product (clicking the buttons was a pain and awkward and nullified the point of not using a mouse in the first place--keeping my hand from getting tired from the repetitive motion). Logitech has a much better version, the t650 Wireless Rechargeable Touchpad that I use. It's like using a touchpad on a laptop. I don't use excel much so I can't comment on that. But if you like using a laptop touchpad in Excel, this should be the same. You might want to clarify what makes using a standard mouse difficult and why you think a touchpad would solve that issue. It might help you get better information.

About the same. My hand issues make it easy on point-click but any hold - drag has learning curve.

I am using this mouse on both my home and work laptops - Windows 8 & Windows 7 respectively. So far - no problems!!!

Yes! All the time. I personally have a Roccat Kone (+) as my everyday mouse. I actually use it for both gaming and workstation programs and it's stood the test of time. I think it's useful to be able to customise the mouse buttons out of games as well as in-game and it saves precious time when doing tedious office based tasks. The extra customisable buttons can be very very useful.

Having used a tablet and a UMPC before I can safely say yes. A touch works just like a left click on "normal" apps like excel. Since this device uses a touch screen you can't really hover the mouse pointer over things but everything else works like you'd think.

Yes, you have to download synapse. But there you can make every button a macro if you want

Yes, I have mine setup with Cut/Copy/Paste and Shift as the bound commands.

I haven't used that one. It does type in any window I've used it in. But getting complicated with it is a lot easier in a text window than something like Pages with a lot of commands.

I have not used the included software much, but you can use the extra buttons for alot of things in individual applications, like forward/back browser keys, media controls, etc.I will check a bit later this morning to see if the software it came with offered macro options, but even if not, I would see no reason an alternate program could not use the buttons in the manner you see fit.Give me a bit, and I will research this more fully. It is a great cheapy mouse IMO

It needs to be connected only when exporting data. It has it's own software that comes with it so you don't need excel. The software is super easy to use and does email. I don't believe you can convert to excel.

Yes, the interface is not overly complicated. You could also go to a Barnes & Noble store with it, and the staff will be happy to help you.

Yes. You can download the mouse managing program here http://e-3lue.com/int/download.html (it's the first one) and them you can program your buttons.

Yup, the included software supports keys with modifiers. However, I don't believe complicated macros are possible though.

It's very easy, I do it often. You can try to use the 'bar' alone, which a little tricky, because you would have to 'roll' it in to place. The easiest way is to highlight what you want moved with the mouse, then with your Left hand hold the 'Left click' button down and 'drag' it with the mouse with your right hand. Very easy indeed! You will usually use both hands to do a lot of functions with the roller mouse, which is why it is much easier on your hands. There is a demo at the mouse' home page, or at least there used to be. Be glad to answer anything else, if you'd like.

yes. The spreadsheet program name is Quattro. It goes back to DOS days before EXCEL. FYI You have to remember to use extension of Excel when you save files.

Select-drag and double tap works just like a normal mouse+cursor would. you can also program functions in response to gesture types (e.g. number of fingers tapping to initiate function). it's pretty slick.

Think so - though never tried it myself. On precision of signing: with some practice, hopefully can make it a better tool than the clumsy mouse. I'd given the product a three-star.

No, mine did not. I use Kingsoft Suite which has Writer (Word), Spreadsheet (Excel), etc. So far, they are compatible & nearly identical to MS Office.
