I am aware that the issue is merely a faulty encoder (as a general rule, things fail). I guess I just assumed that the mouse, given its price, would last for a longer period of time. Below are some advantages: link that is both quick and uncomplicated. Excellent top cover made of plastic. Multiple varieties of Bluetooth connections, each with their own adaptor. It can run on batteries for a very long time; in fact, I haven't changed the batteries in it in over a year. A useful solution that features a magnetic cover on top. "Clear" the buttons at the top. Multiple DPI modes. 2 communication frequencies Both high and low. Cons: Encoder. Not at all, you ENCODER! After about 8–9 months of ownership, we first used the mower. When one attempts to scroll the wheel either up or down, the scrollbar quickly becomes worn in a number of different directions. From what I can tell, the issue isn't confined to just me alone. The side buttons are huge, but they are positioned in such a way that they do not come into contact with the thumb (in general, I do not use the side buttons very often, perhaps in part because of this).
