Product Identity

The Kensington 72356 is a wired optical mouse with a USB interface and three buttons. Its symmetrical shape suits left- and right-handed users alike, and the optical sensor removes the need for ball cleaning. Plug-and-play operation works on both Windows and Mac systems without extra drivers.

Suitability

Office workers and home users who need a simple, reliable pointing device will find this model adequate. Buyers who want extra programmable buttons, adjustable DPI settings, wireless freedom or an ergonomic sculpted form should look at other options.

Deciding Specification

The USB wired connection means the mouse draws power directly from the port and requires no batteries or charging. This makes it a dependable choice for fixed workstations where a constant link is preferred over mobility.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Kensington 72356 mouse and is any extra hardware needed?

The package contains the mouse only (part 74856N). It connects via USB and works plug-and-play, so no separate cable, driver disc or adapter is required.

The specs list a single wired USB version; how do I know this is the right one for me?

This model is the 72356 wired USB edition with three buttons and a scroll wheel. If you need wireless, Bluetooth or extra programmable buttons, those are different models not covered by this listing.

What does the optical tracking method mean for everyday use on a real desk?

The optical sensor provides reliable cursor control without a ball that needs cleaning, and the scroll wheel lets you move through long documents or web pages quickly.
