Installing the GE Wireless Optical Mini Mouse should take less than five minutes. The Mini Mouse is a plug-and-play device on some computers (software may not have to be installed), so you can simply plug in the receiver, add the batteries to the mouse and link the two devices. Once installed, the only time the mouse will need a wire is when you're recharging the batteries.
