I’ve seen pictures of the Xoopar Pokket Mouse (mice? mouses? meece?) here and there on various Pinterest travel boards and I gotta admit they always catch my eye.
With the many beautiful hues of orange, green, blue, pink, white, black, and even red, each slim and colorful square seems like it’s even glowing a bit.
And actually if you check out the Amazon listing for the Xoompar Pokket Mouse you see that it really does glow:
“Pokket is a slim wired optical mouse with a portable concept for traveling use.
Fashion and trendy design with the brilliant led lighting effect on around the body, catch your eyes, love at first sight!”
Pretty cool for a computer mouse that’s for sure.
There’s only one problem though, that unavoidable black wire that tethers the mouse to the laptop. Sadly that’s a deal breaker for me, especially in a travel mouse.
Too bad because each Pokket travel mouse looks quite beautiful! Might work for someone else though that doesn’t care about the wired aspect of it all. What do you think, would this work for you or not so much?
Hello!
I stumbled upon your site while googling new mice for my laptop (previous mouse–Targus USB retractable–has wiring and scrollwheel issues). I saw a few images of the Pokket and couldn’t find many reviews about it online, so your review here is pretty helpful. Thinking I’ll get the black one, and, as a “wired” kind of guy, your only con you came across during your review won’t bother me a bit 😉
Thanks for your help in my decision.
Hi Nolan,
Hey great to hear that it helped :). The Pokket is a good looking compact mouse, hopefully they come out with a wireless version someday because I’d love to have it as a travel mouse. Anyway, hope the Pokket works out for you, the black one looks really nice.
check out the xoopar website. they now have a wireless version.
I have an orange one I’ve had a couple years now. Love it. Yes, it does glow very brightly. Actually have to unplug it at night if it’ll be in the same room, it’s that bright. Mine actually came with a coordinating orange retracting cord.
I was looking to get another — my first is working just fine, I just need one to pack with another computer I now also travel with — and I did notice the wireless. Intriguing, but I like my little wired buddy, I think I’ll just go with getting it a twin…..or maybe…..
I LOVE mine. The cord is minimal, long enough, and retractable. Only drawback is that after a few years, the mouse gives out, and no battery to change that I’m able to find. And it takes two weeks to get a new one. But I deeply dislike the fingerpad on my laptop so this mouse, which is about the thickness of four credit cards, has been terrific.
