A few tweeks could make mouse scanning awesome
I am an avid needle worker and many times my charts are printed on poster size paper which can be very trying and the folding and unfolding really takes it toll. It is for this reason that I purchased the scanner mouse and while I like the mouse, there are a few issues I ran into. The window on the bottom of the mouse has a slight lip which snags the the document every time I reach the edge. Almost always, I have to lift the mouse and that marks the end of that scan. You have to start all over. I wish there was something that could be affixed to the bottom on the scanner to cover the lip without compromising the quality of the scan. Another idea would be to have transparent sheets that can be placed over a document that extends beyond the edges so the mouse doesn't have to come in contact with the document edges. I also found, at least for me, that the mouse has to travel in a consistent direction. While scanning, the moment that direction or angle changes in the least, the image of the scan starts to twist and turn. For instance, part of the scan is perfectly horizontal but at the point the angle changed, the image will distort and bend. Again, I have to start all over. The location of the scan button is such that I unintentionally click it while moving the mouse across the document which ends the scan. On a normal mouse, it is the location of the back button. Another issue is the usb cord which in my opinion is way too short and gets in the way all the time. The mouse definitely needs to be wireless. So there you have it. One customers review on the mouse scanner. Don't get me wrong, I like it. I just think there needs to be a few tweaks. Read more
