1. the cable is not shown, but a very thin which is rolled up in the center of a spring. Had ever seen such a mouse, in which such a cable is quickly broken off. That's why I wanted a normal cable. 2. the mouse is really "mini". But that's okay-that was my intent to purchase. 3. The function is unsatisfactory. Only works properly on a homogeneous uniform surface. In a newspaper, for example, the cursor jumps zig and become wildly on the screen. On a white sheet of paper, the function is perfect. Conclusion: The mouse is cheap .... but is thus not even worth that amount. Too Bad. Returning is unprofitable
