Pros: + Good design
+ Feels solid
+ Good length and width
+ Nice screw-on battery cap
+ Red point visible even in strong sunlight

Cons: - the button rattles a bit

Other: Need a cheap laser pointer?
Buy this one.

Pros: cheap
easy to use'
good build quality
uses two batteries, very bright
AAA rechargables!!!
looks very good, very professional

Cons: the laser seems to have a bit of "noise" around the dot. not lfe-and-death, but noticeable, ok though, quite acceptable.
have to fill in the 500 character restriction or it won't allow this review go through!!!
please make it 400?

Other: no complaints. if it is what you are after, GO FOR IT

Pros: Doesn't feel too cheap. Decent red laser dot.
I like that it takes normal AAA batteries.
Very stylish and compact.

Cons: Doesn't hold a candle to a green laser. But still very cool.
Would be nice if the dot were a little brighter, but there's only so much you can do for under three bucks.

Other: If you want a cheap red laser, this is a good buy. I'd like to get a better one, though. I didn't expect great considering the price.

Pros: This little laser does all you could want! (well almost)..
+ super cheap
+ AAA powered, good run times and dirt cheap batts!
+ well focused dot visible for a long distance, even better at night!

Cons: For this price I cant find fault, no down sides to this product.

Other: This laser is the best option for its size, dont wast your time on any of the small button cell powerd, there dim and eat the button cells. DX is the best site for this sort of stuff, I love it!!!!!!

Pros: Looks like a pen.
Super chhheeeap! I may buy more for friends with kittens!
Super bright, one of the brightest 5mw lasers out there.
Body is metal, feels very solid.
Easy to use.
Takes AAA batteries which are super cheap compared to button cells, almost $5 a battery! I put lithium AAA batteries in mine, should run for a few hours total.
Diode is focused very well, I feel heat when I point it on my skin.

Cons: No instructions. Took three tries on which way the batteries went before it worked. For anyone reading, the flat side goes in first.
Button is a little "clacky". It rattles around when the pointer is shaken.

Other: Get it.

Pros: Uses AAA batteries that is a must for me. Gives a great bright point (once I focused it). feels like a solidly built unit, which was a big surprise at this price. It works just as well with rechargeable batteries as it does with alkaline batteries.

Cons: Could have the battery orientation printed somewhere as the batteries go in the opposite way to what you would think.
Also had to focus it my self as the point was about 25cm from about 8 foot away.

Other: If you need a laser that takes AAA batteries then this is for you.

Pros: + Laser comes out when you press the button
+ It's red
+ Very cheap
+ Cats go nuts, they react much better to red laser than green laser.
+ Adjustable focus

Cons: - Not a cheap as other red lasers
- Casing is thin metal, mine had dents in it from shipping so I had to push the batteries in. (They'll never come out again).
- One of the 2 I bought has laser dot with big spiral. Maybe a dirty lens? Still good for playing with cats.

Other: * Just get one already, nope the mailman treats it nice so you can get the batteries in.

Pros: it just cheap well-made red laser pointer
very bright so i can even see the beam (in very dark room or of i points it to my face (no an eye! too bright!)
i think its less than 650nm brcause the beam is little visible in dark rooms - i cant see the beam of any other 5mw red laser
also it is very easy to get module out and use the module as collimator for homemade dvd-rw laser - just perfect

Cons: there is many cons like laser is not a point but some sort of shape like
_____________

and there is no instruction or even box
and lens is plastic
and...
damn, look at the price!
there is no cons
its just perfect cheap laser!
its bright as hell (for cheap laser)
or its bright as 1mw of green =)

Other: and here omes the bottomline!

Pros: I wanted a laser that ran off different batteries than those expensive super small button type. Here it is 2 AAA batteries. The AAA batteries last longer too. The red dot it puts out is good. If dark enough can be seen 1/4 mile away. The push button on mine works just fine.

Cons: It is difficult to thread the battery cap on without cross threading. I CAN do it but it takes some concentration. no biggie.

Other: I don't regret buying it. Glad it takes AAA batteries.

Pros: -the pen is very tough and elegant.
-price is good considering what you get
-good brightness, can indeed see the beam in the dark if you aim it in your direction
-powered by 2 AAA batteries. Much more convenient than pills.
-batteries fit in the tube very well. No rattle.
-lens seems to cure astigmatism, the 'dot" is actually round(ish) at 10m (at least on my unit)

Cons: -I've seen cleaner dots and lower divergence... This one has lots of noise, and the "dot" shape @10m looks like an enlarged fingerprint (round, though). Of course, the laser I had that had a 4x9mm dot at 50 meters was much more expensive.

Other: It's a *pointer*, not a sniper rifle aiming aid or a precision level, and for this purpose it is great.
