Quality mouse

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2016

My job is in IT and I work with several PC's nearly every day.

This mouse has never had a driver-related issue with any of them, and the optical reader hasn't had a problem on any reasonable surface I have used it on.

It is also heavy enough to be comfortable for long-term use, but small enough to carry easily in your kit.

The usb-receiver tucks away within the battery compartment as well, so you do not lose it.

Here are my 2 negatives:

1. If you drop the mouse on a surface such as concrete or asphault, the rubberized exterior is easily damaged.

2. The USB-receiver's range is short and needs to be relatively unobstructed. It can work through a desk if the PC is under the desk, but that is about it. You could get a USB M to F extension to fix this.

Would I recommend this as a daily-use mouse at a desk: No

As a portable mouse for a laptop: Yes!

At first works well - but doesn't last long

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018

Bought 2 - both stopped working. I do not recommend this mouse. I bought one and one month later it stopped working. For the price, it wasn't worth returning so I just bought another one thinking I got a fluke bad one because I do like the light weight and feel. But the second one stopped working after a few months. I tried changing the battery (with 3 dif sets of batteries in case my batteries were bad). I tried it on my desktop and my laptop. It just stopped working.

Blogger Not Gamer

I am a blogger and I use my laptop all over my house and out in public. So it is nice to have a mouse that is easy to transport. It is also remains fluid and smooth on different types of surfaces.

I love this product. It is so easy to move with you and I love that the input for the computer goes right into the mouse for transportation. It makes it easier to keep track of and not lose. I can easily use this mouse between my laptop and then at my desktop.

I would highly recommend this product. I imagine you could use it for gaming too but the gaming ones I have seen are much fancier so I don't really know. It seems like a well-made, small, and simple, but great product.

Spot on, but shorter than a normal mouse

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2014

Color: BlackStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: MouseVerified Purchase

Pro: This is a good wireless mouse. The USB receiver is small and fits inside the mouse when not in use. It takes 2 AAA batteries that angle in when installing (took me a sec to figure that out). My Dell laptop recognized it immediately and works identically to a wired mouse in every other way.

Con: It is shorter than a normal mouse, which is going to take some getting used to. I wish it were the same size as a normal mouse, but this seems to be a trend with this wireless ones. I've attached a pic.

I needed a wireless mouse for work/at home, and these are great

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2019

Color: BlackStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: MouseVerified Purchase

-Not sure how long the battery life is, but it's at least 2-3 months of multi-hour use per day (I turn it off when not using).
-I've had my mouse for at least 2 years, and it's still working great in terms of clicking, scrolling, and responding.
-The top portion has a matte texture and the rest is plastic.
-The only con I can think of is the size. I have small hands and it's like the perfect size ergonomically speaking, but my boyfriend has medium/large hands and he makes fun of it.
-The price is good, it's sensor/responsiveness is good, and I have never had an issue with this mouse, so I would definitely recommend it.

My favorite mouse - a great daily driver. Recommend it to people all the time. A+

I understand why one would be skeptical, but this mouse is awesome. I am not interested in gaming mice or other complicated takes on the computer mouse. I do post production all day and wanted something that clicked well, did not depend on bluetooth and was not too big. A matte finish was a plus.

I bought this as a test (what did I have to lose, it's $12.99) and immediately decided it was my mouse of choice. I was VERY happy to see Amazon sells it in five packs because I planned on buying more for all my edit stations at work.

The batteries last a really long time. I much prefer the micro USB receiver to bluetooth as it has zero issues pairing. I have tossed this in my bag a few times and travelled with it with no issue.

I have only two criticisms:
1) It has an Amazon logo on it.
2) Over time, the matte finish start to wear off a bit. If you use my photo as a reference, that's what it looks like after many hours of use every day for months. I don't think it's that bad. I have seen some photos here where the finish has deteriorated a lot more, though.

This is a great, no nonsense mouse. I immediately bought more for our shared workspaces at my job and my parents. It's perfect for the more technically challenged like my folks. They are old enough to not want cables, but have a difficult time with bluetooth.

A+ mouse, cannot sing higher praises.

Best bang for your buck

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2019

Color: BlackStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: MouseVerified Purchase

Highly recommend for you bargain hunters. There are cheaper basic mice available, but this mouse feels very premium with that soft touch plastic that should just be standard on any product you hold in your hand. If you ever held an iphone with an apple brand silicon case, you get the idea of what this texture feels like in the hand. And at the perfect price point, to boot.

Be sure, this is a standard mouse. If you're a little deeper into PC gaming than the norm, you will be disappointed in the lack of any extra buttons, but for all other tasks this mouse works perfect. Truly plug and play - there was no set up required or any drivers that needed downloading, and my work laptop is still chugging along on Windows 7. It's very responsive with a great balance of weight. Again, it does not feel like a cheap mouse. at. all.

It's a little smaller than the standard wired mouse that likely came with your computer, but for someone who is constantly taking his laptops to various meetings throughout the day, this is a plus. I'm glad I don't have to drag my workplace-provided wired mouse around or be forced to use the trackpad on my laptop. It was an easy purchase and an even easier recommendation.

Inexpensive,Reliable, stable and easy to install

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2012

I have been using Microsoft's basic optical USB wired mouse for years. Everytime I try something different I end up going back to MS mouse. The thumbwheel usually goes first in my experience.

I have had this mouse for a month now. This mouse feels and performs exactly the same as the MS basic optical mouse. Pointer movement is accurate and scroll wheel feel/operation is very good. Button clicks are good. Not too hard or too soft. I have med-lg hands and never had a problem with this size mouse.

Installation was plug and play with Windows 7. No drivers to install. Wireless operation has been flawless. The top of the mouse is rubberized synthetic that does absorb oil from your hand and fingers.. Easy to clean with windex though. I got the mouse on sale. I really like it. I will keep using it until stops working.. Oh. almost forgot it tracks well on my sofa as well. Considering sale price -$15 and smooth operation. 5 stars

Batteries are easy to install. The +/- terminals are molded into body. Don't understand the complaints about difficult installation.

Update 7/5/12 5th month: Still working perfectly. Batteries last one month if you don't turn it off.
Update 1/25/2013 1 year still working fine
Update 8/8/14 2.5 years and still working. I use it everyday.

Excellent Customer Service. Personally, not a fan of the sleep mode feature.

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018

Color: BlackStyle: 1-PackPattern Name: MouseVerified Purchase

If I was voting/reviewing on just the mouse alone...it would probably get 4 stars but with their wonderful customer service, they deserve 5. My issue with this mouse is that it goes to sleep after 8 minutes. It is not a huge deal, just a little inconvenient for me. To "wake it up" all you have to do is click the mouse once, so again, it is not a big thing, just personally I did not like that feature. It does save on battery usage though so I can see why they would add such a feature.
My excellent customer service came when I emailed them (about 7 months now after my purchase) asking if there was a way to shut off the sleep mode. Unfortunately, there was not, but they could not have been nicer and even offered part of a refund due to any inconvenience. I actually declined the refund. They never misrepresented their product once and it honestly works great. It just contains a feature I don't like, and that is just a personal preference.
I did suggest maybe making the sleep mode an option that you could turn on and off for future builds and they said they would forward that situation to their supplier.
I would highly recommend this company. I would also recommend the mouse if the sleep mode feature is not an issue for you. It has a solid build. It's a perfect size with good button response.
I will be purchasing a new mouse due to the sleep mode feature but it will certainly be from VicTsingDirect. Thank you for the excellent customer service.

Here I am a year later with the mouse still going strong and looking great and I am really impressed

When I purchased this mouse about a year ago I honestly didn't expect much. The price through me off. I thought that something this cheap would just be a cheaply made product and do the job for a while. Here I am a year later with the mouse still going strong and looking great and I am really impressed. This isn't a top of the range mouse but it has all of the high quality things that you really need in a mouse. The tracking on the mouse is accurate and not jumpy. The buttons have lasted really well for all of the shooting I have done on COD and even the feel of the material and balanced weight of this mouse really impress me. Well worth the money. I have a $100 wireless mouse at home and I use this one for on the road as it is nice and compact and it has really served me well. Good job Amazon. Keep it up.
