<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nAfter I received a YOGA Mouse for testing I was inclined to title this review, \u201cIf You Give A Mouse A Cookie\u201d, but that one has already been taken so I had to come up with something else. Nevertheless, I\u2019ll do my best to relate my journey with YOGA Mouse on YOGA 900 and ThinkPad Helix – both running Windows 10 Pro.<\/span><\/p>\n First of all, the specs<\/strong>:<\/span> Additional information and current pricing: http:\/\/shop.lenovo.com\/us\/en\/itemdetails\/GX30K69565\/460\/0E80436C80A748E6AA76791FC42C9CA3<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n When the YOGA Mouse arrived in its beautiful presentation box, it was easy to notice how nicely it would coordinate with my champagne gold YOGA ultrabook.<\/span><\/p>\n It took me a few minutes to figure out how to free the device from its packaging though, but once that was accomplished the mouse was ready for charging. One plus for the mouse is that no batteries are needed. According to instructions provided in the Quick Start Guide, the Yoga Mouse can be charged using the included USB charging cable. However, for the new user it is not clear exactly how to accomplish this. One assumes that it is to be connected to a computer. All of my USB ports were occupied at the time, so I experimented with using the regular wall charger\/adapter provided with my Yoga 900 ultrabook. That seemed to work. Charging took about an hour.<\/span><\/p>\n After charging and pressing the ON button, I had several options: Wifi mode, Bluetooth Mode, PC Mode, and Presentation Mode. I tried Wifi mode to make sure the receiver was working. Worked like a charm! However, I feel that for traveling, for many users Bluetooth is the most convenient. I replaced the receiver back to its notch inside the mouse and got busy pairing YOGA 900 and YOGA Mouse. I worked for an hour or so on the initial charge, but re-charged in order to be ready for the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n The following day, I decided to try my hand at creating some November-December theme watchfaces for the Moto 360 watch.<\/span><\/p>\n That went well for about an hour, but the mouse stopped responding before I was finished. I am not sure whether that was because of the online Facer application, or whether there was a disconnect between mouse and computer. Since then I have had a mouse disconnect while using Facebook chat. On the other hand, when in Wifi mode with the receiver (as opposed to Bluetooth), the YOGA mouse was quite quick and responsive. I\u2019ve been using it in that mode for my artwork and fast-moving chat since then.<\/span> Pros<\/strong><\/span> Cons<\/strong><\/span> Conclusion<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After I received a YOGA Mouse for testing I was inclined to title this review, \u201cIf You Give A Mouse A Cookie\u201d, but that one has already been taken so I had to come up with something else.
