Pretty pregnant, small enough to not take up too much space, its all fine. Immediate connection to USB in Windows 7. I withdraw 1 star for 2 reasons: 1- The carrying case mentioned in the description and the packaging is missing 2- wire to go up the USB socket is really too short. Ok for a mobile PC but you will have to go up the tower on the desktop (!) Or use an extension, which I did. That said it is a very good to excellent quality / price product.
