AbleNet Chester One Mouse - Single Click One Button Kids Mouse Optical Adaptive Ergonomic Computer Tiny Mouse for Youth Accessibility with Small Hands and Early Learners

Chester mouse is an awesome little mouse!I bought this with my 2.5 yr old in mind, but I also have a 5 yr old & she likes it too. It's smaller than I pictured it, but that is better for my 2 yr old. I had been looking around for a one-button mouse that was wireless & small for her, as I have a large wireless Microsoft mouse that came with my wireless keyboard. We have two computers that the girls use, my new laptop with Vista & an older laptop with XP on it. (Both hooked up semi-permanently with a keyboard, mouse & external monitor.) Both girls would right click by accident all the time & the scrolling wheel would do strange things on the Vista machine for them.I had purchased a couple "laptop" versions of wireless mice for them and had no luck (especially with the Microsoft laptop mouse... the older one dropped it on the basement floor by accident & broke it... Microsoft did replace it for me though). After the Microsoft mouse broke, I was searching for a STURDY small mouse. I purchased a blue Logitech wireless laptop mouse & the 5 yr old seems to be doing well with it (that one's been dropped too but it seems to be more sturdy!), but the 2 yr old still had the right-click problems with it. So we put that in the basement since that's where the older one tends to play her games. I then looked into a "kids" mouse that was wireless, but it didn't work with Vista; it also had two buttons which I was trying to avoid for the 2 yr old. So I purchased Chester Mouse for Xmas for both girls, but more with the little one in mind. She absolutely loves it! She loves "Chester's" face on it at the bottom & she loves the small size! Now when she wants to use my computer, she goes right to the drawer we keep it in, saying "Own mouse, own mouse!" The wired part is not a problem at all, even with how I have my laptop set up on my desk. I also don't need to unplug my large wireless mouse at all... I simply put it out of her reach while she's playing. (Both work at the same time; what ever mouse you move moves the arrow.) I thought the 5 yr old might think it was too small & babyish, but she seems to enjoy using it as well... probably b/c she knows she gets so frustrated with the large Microsoft wireless one at my desk.Definitely worth it if you have a 2 or 3 yr old... If you are looking for a 5 or 6 yr old, you might be fine with the Logitech wireless laptop mouse or similar one, but you may need to be willing to try out a few & have some bad luck with them... I found that you need one with a non-sensitive scroll wheel (or no scroll wheel), a non-sensitive mouse-click, and a mouse that is small... it was hard to find all of these things! And keep in mind, there is a time frame to return computer mice at most stores... If you are not willing to put up with trying out (& being unsuccessful with some), then just get Chester for them, too.Purchasing Chester Mouse was also far better than trying to download & install a program that changes the mouse from one-click to two! (Yes, we tried that, too!)

My mom has dementia and I was so happy to find the mouse. She had become very frustrated with the standard mouse and it had taken away her ability to read her email and the news. It is smaller but perfect for her. I keep the other wireless mouse in the drawer for others who want the option of right clicking and a scroll wheel.

We bought this mouse for our 2 year old to help her as she did an online preschool with her mom. It's really easy to plug in. We especially like that we can still use our main mouse while our toddler is using hers just in case she needs a little help with more controlled movements. It's easy to click and it didn't take her long to figure out how to drag things when necessary but sometimes it seems a little laggy or as if the click doesn't quite go through. Other than that, it's been a great purchase and our toddler uses it 5-6 days a week. She loves having her own special mouse!

My 3.5 year old has really taken an interest in using the computer, mainly to play Dora and Diego games. However, his small hands have trouble with my regular sized mouse. This is the perfect mouse for a small child, he has no problems at all using it, and since it only has one button (no right click, wheel, etc) he can't hit any other buttons by accident. I HIGHLY recommend this mouse if you are looking for a way to make your computer more accessible to a small child. It's size is ergonomic for small hands and helps kids learn how to properly use a mouse.

Bought this optical mouse because it was advertised as a children's mouse. I was looking for something with one button and a smaller overall size to accommodate a 5 year old and 2 year old's hands.Love:- The one button for clicking so the kids don't get confused by accidentally clicking the right click button.- The length of the cord. It is several feet long.- The quality of the cord itself. At the USB end as well as the mouse end there are extra bits of plastic on it to increase its durability (a nice, unexpected feature since our old cord was showing its wires at the spot where it connects to the mouse).The only thing I was a little surprised by is that I was expecting the overall size to be slightly smaller. It did not seem much smaller than regular size mous to me.My 5 year old used it with ease right from the start. My 2 year old needs help the entire time, but for the age, that is to be expected.My kids also both LOVED the little green mouse logo on the mouse.

My 3 1/2 year old loves the touch screen computer games, but when I set her up on our laptop it was nothing but frustration - not only for her, getting used to the hand-eye coordination necessary to use a mouse, but also for us - she's left handed and we're right. With our regular mouse, we'd have to switch from right to left handed every time she wanted to use the computer. Not to mention it was huge in her hand and the scroll wheel didn't help things. Then I found this one-button mouse, and everything changed.My daughter now uses, after about a day of getting used to it, this mouse every day with ease. Point and click, click and drag, it is easy for her now. I love it because it's plug and play, and the computer recognizes it within about 3 seconds. The mouse seems durable, and gets plugged and unplugged from the USB every day with no problems. Happy kid and happy parents!

Hab die Maus für meinen Großvater gekauft. Klappt super, weil sie keine Tasten besitzt, auf die er klicken kann und ein Menü oder ähnliches öffnen kann, was ihn nur verwirrt. Bin mit der Maus sehr zufrieden, ich finde sie ist vor allem für ältere Leute gut geeignet, die nur einfache Dinge auf ihrem Rechner machen wollen.
