Not everything is so bad, the average purchase in quality.

as a result, i believe that the mouse is not worth the money. like most microsoft products from os to pc accessories. i bought the mouse 1.5 years ago, to replace the apple magic mouse, which is already in its 7th year. as a result, i continue to use apple in my work, and adapted this craft for home use. most of my complaints about this mouse are against the background of the aforementioned apple, which is designed to work only with macs, but in fact works fine under any other os (except without gestures, although ms mice do not have gestures at all).

Pros

- a touchpad for vertical and horizontal scrolling is a rarity, but once you try it on an apple magic mouse, its impossible to refuse. looking ahead, this mouse has a frankly weaker feature than its competitor. - the mouse folds completely flat, with a folded height of less than 1.5 cm. convenient for travel. - batteries can live for months (in mine, after a year and a half of moderate use, there are still relatives that were included in the kit).

Cons

- the most important thing is very raw . firmware? further details. - as an advantage, the mouse goes to sleep after 5-10 minutes of inactivity. it takes 1-2 seconds for the mouse to wake up from sleep mode. this leads to the fact that there is a delay of the same 1-2 seconds before the cursor on the screen starts to move. in addition, the mouse turned out to be absolutely unsuitable for use under ubuntu, because after such a transition to sleep mode, scrolling is completely disabled for it. only disconnecting and reconnecting helps. in fact, this has to be done 10 times per working day or more. it got to the point that i had to implement a bash script to reload the bluetooth module on the pc. (there are many similar complaints and such handicraft solutions on the internet). - speaking of scrolling. the mouse has the function of inertial scrolling, but it is implemented in the firmware of the mouse itself. that is, if you sharply swipe the document, remove your finger from the mouse, and press, for example, ctlr, you will suddenly get a 300% scale instead of scrolling. - all right, glitches under ubuntu, for which this mouse is "officially" not intended. but under windows, it also works crookedly. for example, after the pc wakes up from sleep mode, it may suddenly turn out that it is not the mouse that does not respond to clicks. the cursor moves, there is a scroll, there are no clicks. neither right nor left. and again - reconnection.
