Precise but shorter than a regular mouse

Pros: This is a good wireless mouse. The USB receiver is small and fits inside the mouse when not in use. Installation requires 2 AAA batteries (it took me a second to figure that out). My Dell laptop recognized it immediately and works like a wired mouse in every other way. Cons: It's shorter than a regular mouse, which takes some getting used to. I wish it was the same size as a regular mouse, but that seems to be the trend with these wireless ones. I have attached an image.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

I needed a wireless mouse for work/home and this awesome

- I'm not sure how long the battery life is but it's been at least 2-3 months with lots of hours of use per day (turn it off when I'm not using it) - I've had the mouse for at least 2 years now and it still works great in terms of clicks, scrolling and responsiveness. - The top has a matte texture and the rest is plastic. - The only negative I can think of is the size. I have small hands and ergonomically it's the perfect size, but my friend has medium/large hands and makes fun of it. The price

Pros
  • nice stuff
Cons
  • weight

Blogger Not Gamer - Computers and Accessories

I am a blogger and I use my laptop around the house and in public places. So it's nice to have a mouse that's easy to transport. It also stays fluid and smooth on different types of surfaces. I love this product. It's so easy to move with you and I love that the computer input goes straight into the mouse for transport. This makes it easier to track and not lose. I can easily use this mouse between my laptop and then on my desktop. I highly recommend this product. I guess you could use it for…

Quality mouse: keyboards, mice and accessories

I work in IT and work with several PCs almost every day. This mouse didn't have any driver issues on any of them, and the optical reader didn't have any issues on any of the eligible surfaces I've used it on. It's also heavy enough to be used comfortably for long periods of time and small enough to be carried around easily. The USB receiver is also hidden in the battery compartment so that it does not get lost. Here are my 2 cons: 1. If you drop the mouse on a surface like concrete or asphalt…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Will do

Summary: Great mouse but too small. Should be offered in small, medium and large sizes. Installation was very easy. This mouse is great for situations where you have a desk or workstation and use multiple laptops. or if you don't want the hassle of connecting a Bluetooth mouse. Why only 3 stars when the mouse is so great? It's uncomfortably small. The mouse is only suitable for those who have small hands. It would probably be perfect for a petite woman or child whose arms are smaller than mine.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Fading

duds! The right mouse button stopped working after a few weeks.

I had no luck with mice from other manufacturers (Anker, etc.). So far I've been surprised by this. Good size/feel. It's smaller than a typical wired mouse, but to be honest, I've never enjoyed dragging these monsters around the table. My hands are above average and this mouse is still comfortable to use. It has an accessible ON/OFF button. I have some that don't and some that required you to access a switch in the battery cover (pretty silly right?). Either way, it sits at the bottom and is…

Pros
  • Long-term test results
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Inexpensive, reliable, stable and easy to install

I've used Microsoft's standard optical wired USB mouse for years. Every time I try something new, I go back to the MS mouse. In my experience, the bike usually comes first. I've had this mouse for a month now. This mouse feels and works just like a basic MS optical mouse. The pointer movement is precise and the feel of the scroll wheel is very good. Key clicks are good. Not too hard or too soft. I have med lg hands and have never had a problem with a mouse this size. Installation was plug and…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Something different

manufacturing defect?

I bought this mouse in October and it worked pretty well for a while. In the last week or so, however, it seems to have passed out. I thought maybe it was just a connection issue so I changed the USB ports. That didn't fix the problem so I figured it might just be software (maybe an update or something) on my work computer, so I tried it on my PC and ran into the same issue. I was certain that the batteries I had recently put in the mouse were about to die - maybe they were defective or…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Not the best

I understand why some are skeptical but this mouse is amazing. I'm not interested in gaming mice or other sophisticated computer mouse options. I post all day and wanted something that clicked well, didn't rely on Bluetooth, and wasn't too big. Matte finish was a bonus. I bought it to try (which I'm losing because it's $12.99) and immediately decided this was my mouse. I was VERY happy that Revain sold it in five packs as I was planning to buy more for all my work stations. Batteries last a…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • hard to say
