Benefits:
1. it is small and is still reasonable in hand.
2. it is easily recognized by the operating system
3. You work with sufficient precision in Office applications
Disadvantages:
1. the rubberized coating of buttons comes off after a short time
Where the cable exits 2 Cable break at the point the USB connector (not happened to me with my Logitech V100 Optical Mouse for Notebooks with the same load)
3. The scroll wheel hooked ever the scroll up and down (very limited usability)
My mouse has certainly been through a lot over the years, but I would clearly prefer the Logitech V100 for less money Optical Mouse for Notebooks.
