I need a device to work as a mouse without much pressure for clicks. I can't grip well. PenZ on last legs &amp; unavailable.

Well you don't need to strong arm it into using it. Just a little bit of added pressure to the pen and you'll hear it "click" (similar to a button on a mouse). It's about as thick as a magic marker. And there is a button near the tip to right click if needed. Hope this helps

Using a tablet using a mouse really defeats the purpose. With mouse, multi-touch gestures will not be possible also non-click gestures like swiping will be hard too. Coby really need to sort out handling this issue and provide better/responsive customer service.

I'm using it right now as a mouse (WITH THE PEN, NOT JUST THE FINGER AS A LAPTOP!). You just have to go under this tablet settings and set the first button as left button. DO NOT press the pen against the pad when using it as a mouse! Just hover it a few milimiters above the pad as if you were going to write on a piece of paper. Use mouse clicks as you normally do with a mouse inside the area.

Hey SusieQ, you can use a wireless mouse with this, I recommend getting one with a nano receiver, so it doesn't stick out. On page 17 of a the target ad this week there is one for $11, the logitech nano 305. I have one and it works good. Flip over to page 19 and they have a sale on basically the same netbook, (I dont think there is anything different except the model number) with a $30 gift card. Get the netbook first then use the gift card to purchase the mouse.

Sure, a laser mouse works okay. (I have a wireless, Logitech mouse.) By the way, this is a great table --- very easy to assemble and I'm not the greatest person with hands-on projects. I'm really glad I got it!

As of right now, it can only replace mouse clicks with a free program called GlovePie. It does not always work as it should, even with the Glovepie settings. I use my Fragpedal for mouse clicking more than I do my Stinkyboard. This is my biggest compliant about the Stinkyboard is that they did not make the default buttons set to a mouse. I have no clue why they did this, when a mouse default would have made more sense. There is talk they may change this in the future.

I'd hope most likely you could get a replacement sent or if not maybe find a spare usb piece. if not that's just plain stupid because that piece is smaller than the tip of my finger. if I didn't use the mouse all the time and keep it plugged in my laptop, that usb would probably been long gone. Oh J Berry, this is how you program the mouse for any computer. First, open the door next to laser lens on bottom, insert 2 AA battery, and return and close lid over battery compartment. Okay! Okay, joking aside, insert USB plug into any USB port you have free(note: easiest to reach, seems to work great). Alright, turn mouse over and find switch which has 3 options; off, on with battery save(no lights), and ON( screw energy saver, this mouse is bomb), turn to either Ons. Bam mouse now works with you pc

I'm not sure if there is anything quite like this specifically (in terms of style) that is Bluetooth (which was my original desire as well), but one of the closest things that I could find on Amazon would be the Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse. It has gotten somewhat mixed reviews, but it's definitely one to consider. There's also the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse (T630) which is a different style but is supposed to be Bluetooth. Then there's the Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse, which is drastically different in terms of style, but is touch and Bluetooth. I'm sure there are plenty more, so just keep searching around, but these are a few that I found when looking.

@barbara Kelly it uses AAA's but I do not recommend because the click life is very short my first one lasted 2 months and less on other ones if you use it for gaming. the click buttons just wear out. Look up Perixx here on amazon they make a perixxmice I believe is what it's called dpi adjustable mouse that lasted me 8 months so far an it clicks great I use it for heavy gaming with ALOT of clicks it's around the same price and comes in white and maybe black. God luck.

There should be a usb plug-in attachment in the mouse itself. Disengage it and inset it into a usb receptacle in the computer. This should take care of your problem.

I find it frustrating for simple desktop use. It will sometimes click things when you don't want it to. It's not precise or very accurate. It sometimes goes off on its tangent i.e it'll drift to the edge for no reason. It's terrible really. Use a mouse it'll cut down on the frustration level immensely. However I will add that as of now the trackpad is officially the only problem I have with it. Fanstastic computer otherwise.

My daughter just got an Acer Aspire One 10" and the left-click doesn't work at all. The fact that a nice little optical mouse is included makes me think acer doesn't trust the quality of its touch pad.Other then that, easily circumvented, problem, it's a pretty neat machine.

If your touch screen fully emulates a mouse, it should. The real issue is how the host reacts to having the touch screen disconnected in the middle of being used. Depending on the driver, the disconnect might cause the driver to "hang". I occasionally have this issue with a Logitech wireless mouse in Windows: switching away from the Windows system and returning later may require re plugging the USB receiver. If the monitor is using a proprietary data stream to synchronize the pointer with the touch coordinates, all bets are off. Test the concept by disconnecting the touch screen USB and plug in a regular corded mouse. Do some stuff and then disconnect the mouse and return the touchscreen to the system. If that works OK and is repeatable, then it should work.

Download it from Microsoft. You can google "Microsoft optical notebook optical mouse 3000" and get a link right to the driver. Actually, it does not /need/ the software, since both Windows and Mac will initially see it as a basic USB mouse. However, the software will allow you to set the scroll speed and options for the additional button on the side (which usually activates a nifty magnifier).
