Battery-operated and portable, it’s perfect for shining a light on your keyboard, bookshelf, worktable, or any other dark spot.

Nice Light, but needs a few improvements!
It's a nice light, but I would add a mini-usb port to the end without the switch so you could charge rechargeable batteries and I would also make the mount's front face u-shaped so it wouldn't block front-facing cameras on laptops that have the camera in the middle of the screen.
Great Idea, but...
I was looking for a light that would illuminate my keyboard at night, so that I didn't have to turn on overhead lights. I thought Mantis would be perfect. I never intended to clip it to the top of my monitor since the monitor is already illuminated. Unfortunately, the Mantis does not clip to my iMac or my husband's HP monitor. It slides right off. Standing it up w/the built in legs provides uneven light on my keyboard, and obstructs the monitor's view. The power button is extremely hard to push. Wonderful idea, but needs some re-working.
Mantis is great. Instructions are terrible
Now that I finally have the Mantis working, it is great. The instructions make no mention of the bartery compartment or the need to pull the tab which prevents contact. I made a call to 866-5QUIRKY and got it all staightened out quickly. The Mantis instructions need to be re-written!
