LG Electronics LSM-100 Scanner Mouse

I’m a teacher and it is great to have this scanner. I can scan either text or pictures to make worksheets or tests for my classroom. I’ve recommended this so many times when I’ve attended meetings or gone to conferences. I actually have three - one for school, home, and traveling. It does a great job scanning. It did take me a couple of tries learning how to move the scanner the first couple of times but it is so easy after you master it.

I couldn't believe that it's a scanner when i first saw this mouse. That' s compact design!! Easy to use and install it. I can also use it as a normal mouse and sometimes use it as a scanner when i need it. Very convenient!!

This amazing device provides the absolute worst of both worlds. It's a slippery-surfaced mouse that feels downright awful in the hand, and a scanner that can barely function. At best, interesting to play with. Once you get past the novelty, you're left with an awful scanner that can take several passes to get a single flat sheet correctly seamed together. And don't even think of scanning out of a bound book, it will slip off of one edge on one side and bump into the binding on the other. Any removal of the mouse from the scanned surface will confuse the scanning software and force you to start over. For half the price, you could get a Cannon flatbed that is the same size as a laptop. If you're really desperate for a scan, scanner software that runs on the iPhone does well with with the build-in camera, too. These far better options have left my LG scanner mouse completely unused. I only wish that I had returned this joke of an accessory in time for a refund.

First off; the scanning works very well, even on a Mac (MacOS X Mountain Lion).Unlike those old handscanners, this scanner really stitches your scan together very well, in a very good quality.Just keep in mind that lifting the mouse during scanning is a no-no.Unfortunately; this mouse is [for me] not a mouse I'd want to use on a daily basis.It feel very uncomfortable (I prefer mice like Logitech M510) and unnatural.Having said that; setup was a breeze, and getting used to the way you scan a page is easy.In the end I guess it depends on what you're looking for.Are you looking for an easy to use handscanner: I really can recommend this product.Are you looking for a handscanner that is also a daily use mouse: I cannot recommend this product, as a mouse it fails.

This is an amazing product. The mouse is a little bulky but the convenience is great. You can scan in travel receipts as soon as you get them and not having to hold on to them or lose them. I use this product in conjunction with shoeboxed which is a receipt tracking and hosting service in the cloud.

The bad: The Scan button is too easy to hit and when I was trying to scan a page in a book, when I got close to the inside edge, I had to move my fingers to get the scanner close to the edge and twice, the mouse hit the book and scan key and quit the scan mode. The scan button should be on the top of mouse, out of the way. When I installed the CD, it lets you to pick automatic updates or not; I made the mistake and allowed them to notify me of updates, of which they do almost every half hour or so and it is a nuisance to say the least. I had one picture on heavy card stock, that was very difficult to copy as the "eyes" would move off of the page. This mouse takes up a lot of energy and memory, so keep your unit plugged in and if you have a small amount of usable memory, only take a few scans or your system will shut down as mine did because I spent almost an hour trying this gadget out. I don't use this for a mouse, so the size and shape are not an issue with me. The manual is crazy as they give you one sentance in English, and a bunch of other languages, for each and every step, along with Q & A. at a time and the print is very SMALL. The good that I have found so far: This scans live so you can see the results as you are scanning, unlike the wand that goes onto a SD Card, and you can somewhat edit your picture before you save or send it. For myself, the print looks good, but it might not work on handwriting or lightly printed items. +JMJ+
