What is the range of the mouse? I'd like to use it in my classroom

Can't be sure as I've only used it at my desk, however when backing my chair up it functions just fine from about 8'-10' away. Not sure I'd be at the back of the classroom when the laptop/pc is at the front! But if you are off to the side somewhat, as long as the LOS isn't interrupted I believe it would work ok. Hope that helps!

I tried taking it to every corner of my apartment and was surprised when it still worked in the bathroom about 15 feet away, through a wall with no line of sight and 25 feet to the corner of the bedroom. I think it would work in a class room as long as you can see what you are clicking.

the range is impressive. I've tested mine at 40 feet behind a wall and its perfect. amazing really.

I don't use this mouse for games, only normal use with my laptop. It will work where ever my laptop is with no trouble.

Hi Lynda, yes, I bought this mouse to use with my PC and it works great. The mouse is located about 3 feet away from the PC. Hope this helps.

logitech.com says 10 meters (32.8 ft.) but I imagine that is under optimal laboratory testing conditions. Unless everything is clean and new, nothing in between mouse and receiver, the best and newest battery etc. it will probably be less

I have a track ball set up on it. But probably not enough room for a standard mouse to be moved aroubd

Sorry, my mouse is not wireless so I can't answer that. I don't like to click and have nothing happen or have the battery die at inopportune times.

I like the mouse. I bought it to use it with my HP laptop and it works great.

There is not a lot of room for the mouse but yes. I have an oversize keyboard - ergonomic with ten key. But I am able to use my mouse. It's approx 24 inches

It's about 6 feet. I have no problem getting it to snake around from a computer under a side of my desk and over to my mouse pad in a corner desk setup. I have one at work too, and there I have an accessibility setup where the computer is about 10 feet from the corner desk where the monitor hangs and the mouse+keyboard are placed. For that, I used a USB extension cable (a few bucks at the computer store). Note that there's also a wireless version of this mouse, no idea about battery life. BTW this is a wonderful mouse.

Honestly, with a 17" laptop you are not going to have room for a mouse at all on this table. If there is any room, it might be an inch or two at most.

Just to answer your question and satisfy my own curiosity, I was able to take my mouse over 30' away from my desktop and still had a connection. Based on my experience, you should easily be good to go at 20'. One caveat, this mouse and the Setpoint software works well on my Win7 64 bit workstation but I can't get it to work with the Setpoint on my Win XP SP3 32 bit desktop. The mouse works well without the Setpoint software installed and still works with the Setpoint software installed but with the Setpoint installed the mouse won't hold the Setpoint settings on that machine. Still trying to figure out what the problem is so buyer beware.

It does make an audible click. Maybe slightly softer than a regular mouse, but still noticeable. I'm a grad student and use it one of my classes. That class is pretty small (7 of us and the professor), so I am occasionally self conscious about the click.

I was very unhappy with this mouse. Way to sensitive. But answer you question it did work 15 feet away from computer.

It's two or three feet. Im a teacher and I used it for my class. They could plug it into the computer and have plenty of room. Students never have complained.

I no longer use it as it interferes with my mobile phone that are all over the house. Back to the old mouse. That said, I loved it, batteries didn't last long, as I kept forgetting to turn it off. Check with your phone or other devices to ensure that they don't knock each other out. My phone would have to be 50' away from the computer and not an option, as it's my office. HOpe this helps.

Bucar, Orderd the mouse scanner but didn't use it because resolution too low for my needs. Sorry can't help.
