Is the mouse a regular, adult size or smaller for toddlers? I have a 5 year old too.

it is a regular adult size mouse. I ended up buying AbleNet Chester Creek for Kids Computers One Button Mouse Optical USB (CCT)It is more comfortable for their hands and so that my kids would not get confused with the right click; but eventually they are going to need that capability.

I would say that it is a bit small for an average size 5 year old. It's sits very low to the ground. I bought it for my almost 2 year old and it is the perfect size for her.

Just measured it--3 and 1/2in in length, and 2 and 1/2in in width. You are right. It is not that small. May be it is a miniature version of a much larger mouse.

It's somewhat smaller than most desktop mice, but not as small as many notebook mice. I find it comfortable for full time usage--I have one with my personal laptop, and I have it's twin (a Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse) with my work laptop. (The only external difference between the two is the color and the Bluetooth logo.) For what it's worth, it's about 4" X 2" X 1.4". If your PC doesn't have Bluetooth built-in, you'll have to buy an adaptor separately.

Personally, I think this is more for toddlers. It's too big to fit in the pocket. My 3 year old has one and loves it. But it's sole purpose is to teach him responsibility before moving up to the real thing. Depending on the 5 year old, I would go with either a real pocket knife or a smaller wood one (also a play knife but probably one step up from this one).

Hello Julie,This mouse is about 3.5 inches in length similar to your current mouse. I am actually using this mouse for my laptop right now and it is great. One thing that you want to keep in mind is that it takes two AA batteries to operate. This means it will be a little more heavy than other wireless mice. I have never had to change the batteries in this mouse and I had this mouse for about 6 months. It's a great mouse, but it could be a little bit on the heavier side if you plan to carry it with you.

Measuring the bottom it's 4x3. It doesn't seem much larger than the average mouse but it's higher. The side buttons are very small. I have medium size female hands and it's about perfect for me.Also it is very sensitive and for the top regular right/left click buttons you can press really far back on them and still have them work so it should be fine.

Its regular adult sized. When mine came in, it wasn't calibrated (it was broken) and I had to take it in.

It's a standard 7 button mouse (5 clickable usable, the scroll wheel, and a DPI adjustment). They recommend you use a program like X-Mouse if you want to program any of the buttons.

Honestly, I would say its too small. Its a perfect size for my 18 month old. When my niece, who is three, comes over, it feels even a little small for her. I would look for a taller and larger set for a 5 year old.

It's kind of on the small size. My son is a small 6 and it's a perfect size for him, but when he plays against an adult, he gets frustrated that their arms goes more than half way (almost entirely) across the table.

Yes, my son is actually left handed too, although sometimes he uses the right hand. When I got this mouse my son was 2.5 and it fit his little hands just fine. Because the mouse has only one clicking button it doesn't matter whether your child is left or right handed; that's one of the reasons why i bought this mouse.

It's smaller than a standard mouse, I believe, but it's not one of those tiny mouses. To me, it's the perfect inbetween. I have it gor a couple years and love it. Hope that helps.

I bought this for my 2 year old and her 5 year old brother plays with it also with her, but honestly I think it might be a little small for a five year old. My 2 1/2 year old loves it though.

I can't give you the exact dimensions but I can tell you its not mini. Its a standard size mouse that is easy to use and very good.
