How far away will the mouse work? I am looking for a pen mouse that use standing at the back of my classroom.

Well the cord is about 4 feet long so you might want to consider getting a wireless computer pen that can hook up to a USB or better a wacom cintiq Tablet. Those are the best I've sen and I'd love to get one someday. So this would be good for a laptop or something when your close buy a computer sitting down. It comes with a mouse matt but it breaks easily. Cardboard works great with it buy the way. It's a bit fussy with surfaces to use with it but cardboard and non-glossy binders works great.

I no longer own this device but if I remember correctly the cord is approximately 24 inches long.

I measured the cord to 5 and 1/2 feet. They have made a wireless one but it's hard to find (I-pen wireless)

Sorry I have HP PC. The mouse seems to work fine, without a specific app. The instruction are in Chinese and so is the web site. I would recommend you purchasing a dedicated mac mouse to be safe.

Yes, you are absolutely right. My biggest problem was to reach too far for a mouse. So I brought Touchpads--Cirque Smart Cat Pro, USB (Black)Code: PD019SPU-blk and put it (with tap) in top middle of this keyboard. It does not look that good but it worked well for me.

Yes, it will work, but not as convenient for the button corresponding to the right-hand mouse button Since it is on the left-hand side of the pen-mouse.

It sticks out about .25 inch. Definitely less than .5 inch. I've put the laptop back into it's case most days with the receiver still in the USB slot and have had no problems. It also has a slot in the bottom of the mouse that you can use to store the receiver when transporting it. I'd also add another comment at this time. This mouse runs off a single AA battery and has a battery life that blows away another slightly cheaper mouse I bought at the same time. The other mouse uses 2 AAA batteries and wears them out about twice as fast as the one AA battery in this mouse. This mouse has been great in all aspects. It sticks out about .25 inch.

I use a mouse with mine. But my laptop sits on a desk, not my lap. If you want to use your laptop in bed, or while you're sitting in your recliner, this isn't going to work. You'll need something bigger.

I've never really tested how 'far' it can be from the laptop. I take my mouse around with me at work with my laptop and it can be about a foot or so away.

Assuming you might be carrying it back and forth to school, I would think you might be better off with a small tablet. They're small enough to go in a back pack (or laptop bag) and don't take up a lot of space on a table or school desk. I use a small tablet in my studio and I find there's still plenty of room to draw on it. The live area of the tablet matches your full desktop on your computer so you can always navigate to anywhere on the screen.

I agree with you about the placement of the USB ports. They get in the way when trying to use the mouse. What I did was get a wireless mouse and plug the wireless port into one of the ports on the other side of the computer and not use these ports.

I personally like a high profile mouse, so was kinda bummed. It's a great mouse but it is low profile...about 1.5inches high. Inch in the back..less than an inch where the fingers are. Hope that helps.

You're going to be pushing it. I mean, you probably can but it's going to be a tight little area to work in. Maybe if you had one of those miniature sized mice it would be better, but even then you'll be very tight one space. As per the dimensions, it's 22.4" wide, so it depends if you think you can work a mouse in a 3.5"-4" space.** EDIT ** - Sorry I didn't understand when you said you were using a 'trackball' mouse. I was thinking of the old school ball mice. If you don't need to move you a trackball mouse side to side much then yeah, you'd probably be fine.

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

I use a Logitech G710+ mechanical keyboard. It does not have much of a "lip" on the front of it, so the mouse sits close to the keys.

It seems to be about 10-15 feet.. maybe less if you have no line of sight (although why would you use a mouse without line of sight?). I put my macbook in the corner of my room and was able to back up nearly to the door before the mouse stopped working. My room's 9x13 feet (I think)

I usually use it right next to my laptop but after your question I tested it from about 10 feet from the screen and it worked fine. If I went further than that I would not be able to see the pointer but from across the room it worked fine.

I formerly used a wacom tablet. It it more ergonomic, but sometimes picking up the stylus slows me down. I use a regular laser mouse now. It is fine. The keyboard width is not an issue; it is not any wider than any other keyboard, as far as I can tell.
