Review on ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ Belkin 3-Button Wired USB Optical Mouse - Black F5M010qBLK by Robert Bridgewater

MORE PRESSURE FOR YOUR BELKIN BUCK

I was looking for a mouse. Cheap mouse. Anything under $10. Hopefully something that will actually last longer than the last cheap mouse I bought from Revain (it didn't even last a month!). I've used and run reviews of many Belkin products in the past, usually with pretty good results. It wasn't the CHEAPEST mouse I could find on Revain, but it was still under $10 so I decided to take a chance. The mouse is surprisingly well made and works perfectly. There were several things that immediately impressed me about this mouse. First, there are no ridiculous unnecessary LEDs. I have this mouse plugged into my laptop in my bedroom and mice with blinking LEDs drive me nuts. You also waste electricity. I love the fact that this mouse doesn't light up my entire bedroom even when the computer is unplugged. Second, I was also impressed with the USB cable that the mouse uses. Most "cheap" mice sold today have spaghetti-thin cords. This is always a sign of poor design, resulting in a very short mouse lifespan. The Belkin mouse has a fairly powerful USB 2.0 cable by today's standards. Light enough not to get in your way, but thick enough to probably last longer than my last few cheap mice combined. The packaging the mouse arrived in was a very plain cardboard box. There is no driver disk (at least for Windows). No confusing instructions in Chinese. No crazy blister packs and no recyclable materials. Thanks to Belkin for the simplicity. It's definitely worth more than the extra $2-$3 you would pay for the CHEAPEST mouse you can find here at Revain. So do yourself a favor and try the Belkin mouse. I don't think you will be disappointed either.
