"very disappointed"

"i am not a fan of laptop touchpads i find them an awkward two handed operation"

"i've had other mouses before more expensive ones that at the end of the day will cause me some pain on my hand and this one never did it"

"it was always challenging to use and eventually failed completely"

"it is too small for normal adult hands it's much smaller than something like the classic microsoft mouse and it feels sounds and looks flimsy"

"i knocked one star off the durability rating for this product due to a small issue with the battery cover i've had with the last two mice"

"the phone number provided on amazon doesn't work and when you click on the link for the logitech website you have to sign up before you can get any info"

"they last forever i only had to replace them in the past due to losing them never because they stopped working"

"i’ve tried connecting it to another laptop and has the same problem which verifies it’s the receiver mouse connection problem"

"i’ve tried connecting it to another laptop and has the same problem which verifies it’s the receiver mouse connection problem"

"at times would stop working and had to remove battery"

"the only problem i found was it came with flat batteries which i cleverly exchanged for different flat batteries and convinced myself it was broken!"

"mostly i work in a comfortable chair and use the cloth arm for the mouse pad it's never been a problem until i had this"

"if i could i would give zero stars"

"this was returned or will be as soon as the courier arrives now five days anyway the reason i am returning the first one is because when it is "switched on" tiny switch on the base of the "mouse" the light does not light up therefore due to poor eyesight and not being able to see clearly the "on off" button on the base i don't know if the mouse is actually on or off"

"a bit small and cheap feel"

"crap mouse don't buy"

"major disappointment: it stopped working 6 weeks in this mouse is sitting on a desk in an office i"

"two weeks terrible terrible terrible "

"it's a total waste of money and i'm back to searching for a decent mouse"

"but for me it is really infuriating"

"con: the buttons were never particularly sharp to begin with but now they are beginning to struggle to register clicks which is disappointing as i've only had the mouse for 9 months and am now having to look for a replacement"

"i've never spent much on a computer mouse as i don't use them that often but despite this admittedly low price it's really an awful thing"

"not a huge problem as my black grey one does the same but can be a bit irritating"

"very frustrating"

"but with one horrendous flaw"

"design issues exist in that the battery cover constantly falls off"

"after doing some reading on line i can see that absolutely tonnes of people are having issues with logitech their drivers and the conflicting issues it has with windows 7 wish i'd have read all this before hand : "

"he borrowed mine whilst i ordered him a new one"

"i have pretty small hands so they're the perfect size for me"

"or its a logitech error on the production line or it is a counterfeit mouse"

"i lost patience and reconnected my wired mouse instead"

"i've never spent much on a computer mouse as i don't use them that often but despite this admittedly low price it's really an awful thing"

"previous wireless models have been useless however so am hoping for a better result this time"

"if you have smallish hands a good buy"

"the only small downside is that the right kind of reflecting surface is needed"

"the most recent randomly stopped moving"

"note that the mouse doesn't light up like the wired variants and can appear inert when switched on but it works just fine"

"it's noisy sounds like some of the parts have come loose inside"

"still there are worse mice out there"

"now it'll sit on a shelf gathering dust until i bin it"

"only drawback for me is the scrolling wheel is a little noisy and not as smooth as my first logitech i bought"

"using laptop mouse was starting to hurt wrist"

"attempts to contact both amazon customer service and logitech were so convoluted time consuming and expensive"

"with all this in mind i would still order another one without hesitation as and when my current mouse meets it ultimate demise at the hands of my cumbersome activities"

"the logitech m185 wireless mouse usb is rubbish as it is totally useless as it comes without the usb dongle to plug in the computer"

"buying cheap mice just magnified the problems"

"the mouse wheel scrapes has the feeling of being cheap"

"that's very strange"

"it has rough edges all round the middle where its presumably clicked together"

"but i have only given it 3 stars because this really is not very good"

"and no longer in danger of strangling myself with unwanted wiring"

"i was a little disappointed when i received my purchase i followed the simple instructions but it did not work after trying various things it still did not work as a last resort decided to change the battery thinking this cannot possible be the problem but sure enough it worked its a first for me that never happen before"

"so i took a very small screwdriver and inserted it into the spring underneath the negative earth of the battery and just stretched the spring a little"

"no hand cramp functional comes with a battery aa on and off switch"

"i would recommend to anyone wanting a simple alternative to those frustrating trackpads!"

"worked as it should no issues today tried to use it and buttons unresponsive feels stiff "

"item arrived incomplete and it's almost impossible to get hold of logitech"

"update: this mouse started making weird sounds only 2 months down the line which was a little concerning"

"i guess some dirt might be causing some problems"

"my only gripe is the central wheel that feels a bit stiff and scratchy when used"

"the main irritation is that this one only takes one aa battery whilst the old one took two"

"only bad point is that it outshines all the other mice in the house so will have to replace them with this one now"

"i have two computers and three identical mice i need to feel comfortable that i won't get caught short should my mouse die for some reason"

"or its a logitech error on the production line or it is a counterfeit mouse"

"i bought this mouse to replace an old logitech wired mouse because the cable from the mouse was constantly being trapped in the spaghetti junction of cables at the rear of my computer"

"with all this in mind i would still order another one without hesitation as and when my current mouse meets it ultimate demise at the hands of my cumbersome activities"

"stopped working after four days now have all the bother to send back bad item"

"only found out when i tried to heat up to replace the garbage stock feet the first one came with only to find out it was a full plastic base"

"i didn't realise how small this mouse was it's painfully small"

"item arrived incomplete and it's almost impossible to get hold of logitech"

"the wheel for scrolling squeaks irritatingly"

"i'm now reluctant to order another one in case they're part of the same faulty batch"

"the laptop came with a free gaming mouse with endless buttons which is useless for general browsing"

"but for £10 i guess can't expect too much strange sounds come from inside if you give a little shake"

"the mouse has a standard battery which should last about a year very easy to turn the mouse off when not in use"

"i hope amazon stop selling this as a bundle"

"without success"

"whenever i supply a cctv system i throw away the bundled corded mouse and add one of these"

"was initially a bit hesitated by the looks and the size but turns out this is a great little product!"

"3 because on day two the mouse stopped functioning normally particularly the left click button and kept sending safari web pages to the reading list instead of opening them and lots of other oddities and irregularities occured"

"personally i can't see myself keeping this one as i am looking for a better replacement"

"99 plug in the little receiver into a spare usb port & away you go with no messing around at all literally plug & play how it's s'posed to be"

"or inaccessible buttons to press in tandem to get the devise to register with the computer"

"different colours and significant time lapse"

"it is too small for normal adult hands it's much smaller than something like the classic microsoft mouse and it feels sounds and looks flimsy"

"recently it developed a slight problem think it is with the dongle so am happy the same item is still available"

"it works great consumes little battery it's compact ok so it's not a comfortable as a "full size" desktop mouse but it's more portable and the scroll wheel has a nice soft ratchety action so you don't scroll by accident when you middle click"

"i had the apple magic mouse before but it felt too flat for my hand and gave me hand aches!"

"my only gripe is the central wheel that feels a bit stiff and scratchy when used"

"so now after more than 4 years of use 8 hours a day the right key of the mouse started having some issues meaning that still works fine but you need to press it harder to work"

"we have purchased a couple of these logitech mouse and they have been fine but this one was not very well manufactured as the outer remained in the usb port when trying to remove"

"seems to be a slight design fault not seen on other logitec mice"

"only gave it 4 stars because it's a bit scratchy used on a wooden desk without a mouse mat"

"first disappointment: it is quite small and therefore sits quite uncomfortably in the hand perhaps this was noted somewhere in the description but i certainly did not see this "

"the little dongle into the laptop is barely noticed"

"the new mouse in my house is a charming little chap"

"all have failed after about a year give or take the first two with switch bounce on the left button the most used obviously but way under the 8m clicks quoted somewhere"

"9cm logitech mouse through the packaging i had to 'crimp' my hand a little which would become tiring eventually"

"terrible thing to use far too much effort involved to simply get the cursor to a position where i could click to select and the extra movement to achieve that highlights the sound of the battery cover beneath rattling about on the mouse pad"

"then without warning it starts jumping around again"

"we have only had this mouse for 5 months and it is no longer working"

"secondly the on off switch recess is not easily reached by my short finger nails"

"the wi fi 'dongle' has it's own compartment within the battery compartment so it doesn't get lost in transit"

"it arrived in that awful plastic bubble packaging that you need to cut and therefore damage your scissors with"

"back to the drawing board dissatisfied of wythall"

"purchase mouse early january this failed after a few days"

"i have arthritic hands so am unable to take the thing apart"

"it looks as tacky in real life as it does in the photo"

"i thought it died after i dropped it but in the end it was battery"

"there is no gaming rating as not used for gaming so unable to rate"

"money wasted"

"this prevents its use and renders the product useless"

"sadly the wheel on that one has lost it's contact"

"stopped working just after the return period and the returned process is terrible"

"previous wireless models have been useless however so am hoping for a better result this time"

"doesn't work particularly well especially when you have to drag the pointer up or down on the screen and the little scroll is a bit stiff"

"i should have waited"

"the on off switch is so small it is difficult to work"

"the wheel seems less granular and the whole item is lighter more fragile feeling"

"sadly the wheel on that one has lost it's contact"

"there are others on the market much more whizz bang techie than this model but it does all that i want it to"

"waste of money"

"so i undid my original order and sure enough there it was and i cancelled my return"

"the only problem i found was it came with flat batteries which i cleverly exchanged for different flat batteries and convinced myself it was broken!"

"issues on installation make me question the “plug and play” nature of this device"

"now i can’t return it because it is difficult to find"

"previous design had on off switch positioned differently where one didn't have to hold it near the buttons and did not cause this problem"

"didnt last more than a month even after installing new batteries it refused to wprk"

"not a battery problem i have replaced twice"

"and no longer in danger of strangling myself with unwanted wiring"

"the mouse worked intermittently basically rendering it useless"

"it’s not that clear so just in case you think it’s missing"

"no good asking for a review when i cannot use it because the receiver is missing!"

"i do have a good pc and tried the mouse on this machine but it also had the same issues"

"then i wondered if the battery connection was correct as it just seemed to me to be very slack"

"if i remove receiver it works for a bit then stops again changed battery but still no good"

"this is advertised as compatible with mac but the new macbook air doesn't have a standard sized usb so this doesn't fit"

"i have wasted time contacting them because i thought it was missing"

"to say that i'm annoyed would be a bit of an understatement"

"at least this one doesn't need have a "unifying receiver" which i have been finding to be more likely to fail than the "basic" one that comes with this mouse"

"this was great for the first few days then it failed"

"tried with brand new batteries as well does not work"

"mouse started working again after two days still not impressed"

"does not have soft paddles underneath so makes a lot of noise when being dragged"

"the nano usb transmitter has a low profile and does no catch on anything when i put my laptop into its neoprene cover for travel which means i dont even have to unplug it"

"mouse is too small for anyone with normal sized hands i have dainty hands and it even feels awkward for me"

"only minor point in my opinion is that it does not have light indicator to indicate if it is switched on or battery running low"

"logitech dont answer emails so it will come back to you shortly unless ai gt a receiver that will work with this mouse"

"i didn't have to worry about pairing due to the clever little usb widget"

"gets quite annoying"

"this is very irritating when you are trying to do something that requires precise clicks"

"it responds on virtually all surfaces without having to worry about a mouse mat if you wish"

"all inexplicably stopped lighting up the optical part underneath would not switch on"

"1 poor packaging i am amazed that did not arrive damaged 2 worn signs in the mouse's bottom it seems pre used 3 not compatible with logitechs unifier receiver 4 tiny for my hand at least"

"there's an on off button at the bottom to prevent the battery from running out when not in use"

"so first of all i did not open the package!"

"i dismantled it just to see if there was anything obviously wrong with it"

"my first met an untimely end in an unfortunate accident when i dropped my laptop and the usb receiver shattered"

"plug and play says it all once the small wifi usb is removed from the mouse and plugged into a usb port on the computer"

"as i was ordering replacement on amazon i noticed in the description that the little plug was tucked away inside the mouse"

"it doesn't feel quite the quality my last mouse did but for the price who's complaining!"

"this mouse is ok and for the price i dont think you can complain the only down side for me is the fact that the click is quite loud which is ok if its you thats using it but when someone else is clicking away it ca be irritating "

"but unfortunately i find the mouse quite uncomfortable as it is too high under my palm compared to the 345"

"this was my second purchase of this item having returned the first one a few days earlier because it did not work"

"unfortunately it only worked for 6 weeks then just stopped"

"i would honestly buy another the same model if i had a problem with this one"

"i cannot arrange for collection from home either without incurring charges when it is their fault the item is faulty"

"would not recommend"

"i have been using a logitech m185 wireless mouse since 2011 and never had a problem with it i only needed to replace the batteries every 18 months or so"

"initially thought it was too small but now i prefer it to my other larger mouse that i use for work"

"delivered 5 mins ago ripped it out of packet pulled battery tag out plugged usb dongle in worked immediately nice quality great value for less than a tenner"

"so i changed the battery for one of my own but it still did not work"

"it picks up normal mouse controls from windows almost instantly but note that if it the facility is not already set up the double click facility on the scroll wheel will not be available"

"i’ve solved this by disconnecting and connecting the usb a few times but it’s annoying"

"now after many years the scroll wheel is starting to fail"

"now there is only a on off writing which is hard to see"

"my one concern was that because i have large hands this might be too small and be uncomfortable"

"perhaps it is intended that it is never turned off simply change the battery when it dies?"

"i will be requesting a refund and returning"

"cant comment on gaming as i don't use it for that and unable to comment on battery life as only had it a week"

"with all this in mind i would still order another one without hesitation as and when my current mouse meets it ultimate demise at the hands of my cumbersome activities"

"very poor build quality loud clicking and loose scroll wheel"

"as per the headline this particular mouse was "ordered in error" because i then found i already had spare one but i will be keeping this unit because i am really very happy with the design and it's always good to have another spare!"

"also generally feels very flimsy and cheap would not recommend at all !"

"it was a great help since my other mouse broke had no spare and was concerned about recurring rsi while waiting for it to arrive"

"wouldn’t recommend sadly and can’t find how to contact the seller to try and get a replacement sent"

"my last wireless mouse was giviong up the ghost and being very erratic and i suspected it of affecting my laptops performance"

"have bought logitech many times but this mouse is disappointing"

"this mouse does not do anything too fussy but it is comfortable to work with and really suit my needs and expectations from a wireless mouse"

"undo the single screw in the battery enclosure and take the cover off and re seat the optical sensor on its little locator tab"

"considering the covid 19 virus dispatch and delivery was quick and professional "

"major disappointment: it stopped working 6 weeks in this mouse is sitting on a desk in an office i"

"you have to contact the manufacturer directly who never come back to you"

"there is a cubby hole in the battery compartment to store the dongle when it is not in use"

"i cannot arrange for collection from home either without incurring charges when it is their fault the item is faulty"

"they last forever i only had to replace them in the past due to losing them never because they stopped working"

"this is not a setting not a speed of travel adjustment this is hyperspace disappear from one location and just appear in another it makes the mouse unusable it means you have to buy another mouse and this time not logitech!"

"it's not keen on shiny reflective surfaces"

"i have an older version of this very same mouse but grey plastic not blue!"

"it was dropped bumped knocked and still it performed as it did when new"

"my previous review was removed from amazon and i do not know why so here is a new one to the point"

"i don't regret my purchase though and that's only something small"

"possibly a technical issue but disappointing for a device that's sold as plug 'n' play"

"only 1 aa battery required and the battery seems to last longer in this mouse than others i've had"

"my touch pad on my laptop stopped responding making the laptop unuseable"

"the mouse whilst being comfortable to hold feels cheap and so do the clicks"

"my original 10 year old logitech wireless mouse stopped working so i used a spare wired one until i could replace it"

"the last one i had the left mouse button failed that is why i have had to buy quite a few of them"

"its pretty similar but i do have a couple of criticisms"

"i don't expect the one that works to last very long"

"this is not a setting not a speed of travel adjustment this is hyperspace disappear from one location and just appear in another it makes the mouse unusable it means you have to buy another mouse and this time not logitech!"

"the main irritation is that this one only takes one aa battery whilst the old one took two"

"returned the first one over a month ago and still nothing"

"this was returned or will be as soon as the courier arrives now five days anyway the reason i am returning the first one is because when it is "switched on" tiny switch on the base of the "mouse" the light does not light up therefore due to poor eyesight and not being able to see clearly the "on off" button on the base i don't know if the mouse is actually on or off"

"i had the apple magic mouse before but it felt too flat for my hand and gave me hand aches!"

"i had an old wired mouse which resolved the immediate problem but the wire always seemed to be in the way and was to say the least sensitive to being in exactly the right position to work"

"hardly worth the effort and cost to try and return it to logitech so just wasted money"

"this is a basic mouse makes lots of noise especially the roller button its giving me wrist pain if you're sensitive i would suggest going for an ergo mouse"

"the usb fits inside the mouse when it’s time to pack up so you don’t loose it this is especially handy i bought this mouse as i had lost the last one’s usb!"

"of course i've switched the power to "on" but the red light fails to come on"

"i've tried putting in a new battery but still it fails to work"

"if you have large hands you may find it too small for comfort hence 4 rather than 5 stars"

"even for my fat fingers it feels much to lumpy and unshapely"

"i now have to return the item"

"i would honestly buy another the same model if i had a problem with this one"

"i agonised over buying a corded mouse or wireless i'd read some bad reviews about wireless mouse s mice?"

"i've been using it for a while now and can say that it isn't actually fragile in use but that wheel is really awful to use"

"all in all a waste of money"

"but not as shiny metallic red as in the pictures more dull maroon"

"takes only one aa battery so not sure how long it will last"

"i only use it for work and not gaming so can't comment if it's any good for that purpose"

"has battery fitted and works straight out of packaging"

"instead i rely on the power saving"

"it's probably more suited to a child or dainty little adult than a regular sized bloke"

"0 is only months old"

"it’s really ergonomic the battery life it’s awesome but it doesn’t for games"

"unfortunately unpacking and pulling out tag for the battery the item did not work"

"packed in a blister pack with easy opening at back what a joy not to get the scissors out to extract from packaging"

"not sure about gaming as i'm not a gamer"

"which means they are ok but do not last very long"

"it only requires 1 aa battery which is included hence the lighter weight of the mouse"

"i invited him around as the last one was crap"

"avoid these crap mice"

"this mouse is even too small to throw and hit a pigeon annoying you with it!"

"as a mouse it is working well but it's ridiculously small!"

"my only beef is that it is so tiny it makes my hand start to cramp up after a while"

"i have used a cordless mouse before and there is no reason why this should not work as well"

"worked straight off standard basic mouse shape so could be a little more ergonomic but it's not bad"

"it's my fault though i didn't read the description!"

"due to pandemics i cannot speak to retailers"

"+ did not require any install"

"i didn’t get chance use this mouse the usb was not in package tried ringing manufacturer couldn’t get through"

"despite being listed on the same page as a mouse with the unifying receiver this blue one does not have it"

"every pc in the house four of them has one won't use anything else"

"after the missus had bought a few "made in china" products which later died i decided to invest in a quality make and a model that wouldn't break the bank"

"wanted a new mouse as fed up of wired ones and as i'm always on the move i wanted something i could fit in my bag with minimal worry"

"it's not the sensor because the buttons and scroll wheel didn't work either"

"so why did i not contact amazon?"

"i am trying to return my order!"

"had it a couple of months often forgetting to turn it off if ever!"

"sometimes has issues tracking my movements the bare basics for a mouse"

"never buy this mouse the photo of the package shows the usb transmitter it doesnt come in the package so annoyed wont work without it even though tried swapping for new battery !"

"the supplied m185 mouse does work with the supplied receiver which is very odd"

"unless amazon can ensure that the product is dispatched as fully described and complete it will not work"

"will not buy again"

"won't buy logitech again"

"i do not recommend for gamers"

"i was promised many times and it won't happen again!"

"i am on the go moving from the client site to the work site and was fed up using the trackpad"

"i won't switch brands again!"

"product arrived without the nano receiver looks as if the packeting has a facility to contain it a small bulge on the back however it was empty"

"if you have large hands this may be a little small for you?"

"it not a big problem though and is only an issue if i'm trying draw something with it"

"took it out of the box plugged the small transmitter into my usb port turned on the mouse and it was fully working"

"plugged the receiver in a usb port and away it went"

"probably for the same reasons as why it doesn't work on glass but not a problem as far as i'm concerned"

"the product was delivered fully sealed but with no usb inside the sealed manufacturers package"

"only drawback for me is the scrolling wheel is a little noisy and not as smooth as my first logitech i bought"

"only minor point in my opinion is that it does not have light indicator to indicate if it is switched on or battery running low"

"have not tried it with games but would providing they are low spec it shouldn't be a problem"

"buying cheap mice just magnified the problems"

"however i wouldn't recommend it and am looking to replace it myself"

"i had an old wired mouse which resolved the immediate problem but the wire always seemed to be in the way and was to say the least sensitive to being in exactly the right position to work"

"i was very disappointed as purchased based on max of 15 meter distance!"

"only downside is that it sometimes has a small issue when i plug it my usb port being not recognized by my machine after a few seconds but it happens rarely"

"4g another generic budget brand and it had the same issue"

"the mouse comes with a range of great features that you would normally see on a more expensive mouse and is very comfortable to use"

"scroll doesn't work"

"i've had one or two of these before and thought they were pretty good unfortunately this one failed completely after only about 3 months"

"the only problem is that it doesn't come with batteries though 2 aa's are easy to get for nearly nothing"

"otherwise it's accurate and predictable on almost all surfaces has flexible programmable functionality and reasonable tactile feel though this is probably more appreciated in right handed operation "

"it's a pity they don't give the option to award it zero stars!"

"i also bought another one same company which has the same problem but managed to return it on time"

"after 4 months of usage here are my thoughts on the mouse: a initial impressions the mouse was much smaller than my previous gaming mouse however it is well built for a right handed person have used with left hand albeit with difficulty "

"ok its not expensive but to have two mice both stop working before they've lasted 2 years is irritating particularly as the buttons and scroll wheel seem ok its just the pointer sticking on the screen and its position seeming to be a mystery to my pc"

"bought this to replace an earlier model i'd owned for 3years but the scroll wheel had stopped working"

"the side buttons don't work with my mac but that's not been a problem for me"

"another waste of a few pounds"

"they are quite cheap so i could just by another but that is creating yet more unnecessary plastic electrical waste"

"feels a bit flimsy to use but the worst thing is the excessive sideways movement on the scroll wheel which makes the usage feel very cheap"

"not using it for gaming so no idea how it would be"

"it is laggy hovers annoyingly over items and skips suddenly all of which is especially frustrating when trying to be precise"

"whether the product was shipped very quickly costs little is easy to 'plug and play' or whatever other minor positives there are they are all deemed redundant when the product fails in it's primary function"

"it's really imprecise in my experience"

"the worst feature is the mouse wheel this started mediocre and became progressively worse"

"it keeps lagging"

"i use it with an hp laptop to overcome the truly awful touchpad and its unpredictable software and it performs every task as expected"

"i always read the bad reviews and prepare for the worst"

"battery life has declined markedly since it was bought and the ends of the buttons feel very flimsy and will eventually break"

"i find the thumb buttons well positioned and firm so i won't press them accidentally they also have different textures so i can tell the difference without looking"

"it's the worst mouse i've ever had"

"my middle finger rests naturally on the scroll wheel but it's not over sensitive so i never depress it accidentally"

"i ended up having to use the mouse pad on my laptop i don't know about you but i hate mouse pads with a passion so as you can imagine i wasn't in the best of moods by the end of the day!"

"i have tried altering the settings and replaced my mouse pad but its still the worst wireless mouse i have used in the last 20 years!"

"the mouse will sleep after a short period of being idle so if using to present work on a projector you might need to wake it up now and then however this is good for battery life"

"the shape is very comfortable for my hand right handed and the forward backward button under the thumb are very useful my wife doesn't like them though but i think it's so old fashioned to have to keep going to and clicking on the back buttons but i'm not lazy or anything"

"a bit clunky noisy clicks are a bit louder than higher grade mouses but definitely not any less reliable"

"and when you do decide to turn it on again after it's idle you just have to click the mouse and it's instantly on again no need to worry about wasting time"

"don't expect to have the receiver plugged in more than 500cm away from the mouse without losing signal intermittently"

"i do not like to use the laptop mouse pad because i can not get it right most of the times and moreover the pad wears out quickly due to continual friction with your fingers"

"scrollbar stopped working after few days very difficult to read web page without scroll "

"but to sum it up if you're someone who takes their laptop around to university or to work and doesn't want to mess around with two handing your touchpad this is a cheap piece of tech that doesn't weigh too much or takes much space and doesn't look half bad"

"one aa battery 18 months battery life after pairing there’s no need to re establish pairing after a signal loss or shutdown over 3 million clicks per lifetime no need to install a driver battery: single aa battery not included dimensions: 105mm x 65mm x 41"

"the only thing that lets it down is the supposedly grippy textured surface where your thumb rests "

"i never had any connectivity issues with the mouse just set it and forget about it"

"after 5 minutes of inactivity it shuts down to save power but a single click and it's back in the room"

"it disconnects itself when not in use it for more than 8 minutes"

"also seems to struggle with connectivity through a couple of wooden panels which is slightly irritating i had to rearrange the desk to make the connection reliable"

"i use the wheel as a third button a lot and this one is very unresponsive i hear a click and yet nothing happens only when i press further and harder i get the awaited response"

"there are also some extra buttons which are nice when browsing although to be honest i haven't used them much"

"slows pc down drastically and upon switching it another usb socket it then works fine then plays up again slowing down pc switch usb works again"

"my only issue is the balance of the mouse is not adjustable so it's not 100% suited to my handling style but overall i still give it 5 stars"

"my only compliant is that i don’t overly like the shiny finish of the mouse i find myself cleaning it a lot because it looks dirty after a days use from fingerprints"

"plugged nano transmitter into usb port it started to install driver but failed tried again failed again"

"i have never encountered even the slightest problem with it and as such i am more than happy to give it my full recommendation"

"i have tried various other wireless mice beforehand some cheap some not and this is by far the best i've had"

"luckily i had some batteries laying about the house because it didn't come with batteries which i always find frustrating"

"the thumb area is very slippery and does not provide enough grip"

"over the last couple of years i've faffed about with a number of quite complex gaming mice which on reflection have been complete overkill for my office work"

"less than a tenner vs 30 quid no contest yes it looks boring doesn't have fancy lights but it does it's job and is the best mouse i've ever had"

"in both cases you start to get drop outs from the smooth tracking across the screen so i assume that is either an intermittent problem with the connection or more likely an intermittent problem with the laser"

"everytime i use the laptops trackpad now it feels weak compared to this little beast of a mouse"

"plugged nano transmitter into usb port it started to install driver but failed tried again failed again"

"keeps intrerupting and mouse gets locked"

"i was occasionally accidentally hitting the back button of the side of the mouse but managed to change their function with some third party software"

"it works left handed but is more awkward i note about this to warn people or a left handed version would be great"

"only windows"

"i thought it wouldn't last because of the price but i've had it for almost a year without a single issue and have had to replace the batteries only once"

"the only thing that annoys me is that every now and then the wireless function disconnects and it stops working all together"

"feels ergonomic in the palms"

"minus side scroll wheel feels quite clunky and is actually noisy on the forward scroll which i have never experienced before makes a grating noise"

"despite all these good elements i have now after 3 months from the original purchase to edit this review and inform the readers that the mouse started to develop connection problems"

"unpleasantly textured too"

"great for the money but be aware that the range on the mouse is pretty awful"

"personal advice: this thing takes aa batteries so i recommend buying lithium batteries as they last the longest and if you buy in bulk their shelf life is something like 8 12 years alkaline last somewhere between 4 7 and zinc last about 2 years i'd avoid zinc at all costs"

"previously i had a couple of disappointing mice three including the one that came with the pc and when my then mouse packed in about eighteen months ago i partly felt i was probably repeating a mistake by buying another cheap mouse and really should shell out for an expensive one"

"the mouse arrives in plain cardboard packaging and requires a single aa battery that isn't included the tiny thumb drive to connect it is hidden inside the battery compartment on the bottom of the mouse"

"the only problem i have is that on occasion the bluetooth drops out and the mouse becomes unresponsive"

"it fits the right hand well but when dealing with uneven surfaces like using it on a sofa or when trying to use it with the left hand when eating it is a little bit awkward"

"it does feel a little on the cheap side but then it is very cheap"

"the only slight issue can't explain it it the receiver works well at the front of the tower but loses signal slightly when i insert into the back of the tower"

"only one of the thumb keys can register at a time and in a very clunky and awful way you're unable to go from sidestepping in one direction to the other without first releasing one thumb key"

"the only annoying thing is the location of the side buttons it's very easy to accidentally press them while browsing but you get used to it"

"unfortunately there is no way to buy a small replacement dongle rendering the mouse unusable"

"yes i have tried 3rd party software but caused other issues "

"some might like that but it feels unnatural to me and it is still taking a bit to get used to"

"'still don't know what the 2 side bottons are for!"

"i like the texture and even if it does feel like cheap product it looks solid enough for the use i want"

"a potential downside is that short of removing the battery i can't find an off button which means the batteries have to be changed every 2 3 months but at a cost of about £1"

"it's comfortable to use and i particularly like the fact that the non stick pads underneath are of a large size so it slides well and there is little risk of them peeling off as those that use stick on spots tend to do"

"previously i had a couple of disappointing mice three including the one that came with the pc and when my then mouse packed in about eighteen months ago i partly felt i was probably repeating a mistake by buying another cheap mouse and really should shell out for an expensive one"

"so unless you have huge hands or unless very long battery life is really important i can thoroughly reccommend this mouse expecially at the relatively low pricing and with a low battery warning would have given it 5 stars i am a fairly demanding user and my pc is on 24 7 and in use for several hours each day"

"to prevent waste and help the environment i would recommend buying a more reliable product"

"the design is quite good but my particular model does not work it won't switch on properly sometimes it switches on and then fades after about half a minute it obviously has a major fault to it so i simply put it on one side and don't use it any more it really needs to go back to the seller and be exchanged for another one"

"only occasionally dropped connection lagged"

"bought this despite all the negative reviews thinking that if it lasted 6 months i'd get my money's worth out of it"

"poor tracking cursor jumps around too much and also stays still with small mouse movements "

"the only tiny issue is that you have to open the battery compartment it uses 1 x aa battery to put in the usb connector which is a little fiddly and i'm worried that eventually the plastic snap fittings might break this hasn't happened yet"

"the only slight issue can't explain it it the receiver works well at the front of the tower but loses signal slightly when i insert into the back of the tower"

"the usb protrudes about 1 cm from the side of my laptop and it doesn't have a light to uselessly drain power"

"in the past and i've always found them to eat batteries quick and also feel uncomfortable since they're usually designed to be compact and light"

"my first problem with the mouse is that the right button is positioned too low making it difficult to use"

"however after only a few days it loses connectivity with the nano receiver"

"only minor issue is the back forward buttons"

"i was slightly worried that being a 'nano' mouse it might have been small and fiddly to work"

"tracking is inconsistent even on a mouse mat it often feels imprecise"

"one aa battery 18 months battery life after pairing there’s no need to re establish pairing after a signal loss or shutdown over 3 million clicks per lifetime no need to install a driver battery: single aa battery not included dimensions: 105mm x 65mm x 41"

"i thought it may have been dodgy batteries to begin with but it happened each time and with different brands so there seems to be a setting problem"

"it was good for about 3 months then then problems started"

"spooky or what?"

"so that was that utterly useless and a waste of money"

"knocked down one star from the original review"

"i was looking for a logitech but they were too expensive"

"i swear by the logitech for my home pc and the tecknet will never replace that but when it comes to mobile working i have a nasty habit of leaving cordless mice behind in random office locations that i'll never return to and that quickly becomes expensive with mice that cost upwards of £30 each"

"it's comfortable to use and i particularly like the fact that the non stick pads underneath are of a large size so it slides well and there is little risk of them peeling off as those that use stick on spots tend to do"

"i have not discovered a downside to this magical mouse that puts to shame many other far far more expensive wannabie mice"

"i decided to obtain a full size wireless mouse to use with my laptop i needed something which would be ok living in my laptop bag and one which would be full size as there’s nothing worse than a person with a small mouse and big hands!"

"however the two side buttons aren't natively supported on all macs"

"the main problem with this mouse is that it fails in it's primary function of highlighting and selecting items on a screen"

"it goes through batteries at an alarming rate particularly if you don`t turn it off underneath"

"needed a cheap back up wireless mouse for use on the go with laptops etc and this mouse hasn't disappointed"

"but to sum it up if you're someone who takes their laptop around to university or to work and doesn't want to mess around with two handing your touchpad this is a cheap piece of tech that doesn't weigh too much or takes much space and doesn't look half bad"

"its shape and feel makes it comfortable to use the connectivity has not yet shown a single fault in fact it reacts better than the old wired ones i've had "

"just noticed our latest 'working' mouse does occasionally twitch and send its mouse pointer to a corner of the screen so this may be another developing fault will keep you posted on whether this action gets worse or settles down"

"with the large indent where the thumb rest is it is comfortable to use for long periods of time"

"personally i would have preferred that it was a little easier to access but this is the only negative and being stored behind the battery compartment door means that it isn't going to go missing very easily"

"far too soon to comment on battery life but it seems to go to sleep quickly and no problem jumping back into life"

"now this is a really good mouse lots of the other reviews are saying that it is too small well i cant deny that it is not an average size but i have no probs with it at all"

"2 4ghz gives interference free operation i have a 2"

"not exactly the end of the world in these troubled times just a bit annoying and means i can't be pretending to listen on conference calls while actually reading my emails"

"both looked completely different to my original purchase the material quality lacked the standard of my first mouse it was less responsive i even changed the battery several times to check if it was the mouse or battery and even different laptops and pc's and most annoyingly the sound of the mouse clicks are so much louder"

"now after a few months is laggy accuracy has gone out the window leading to clicking unwanted buttons no not delete!"

"very long battery life only changed the battery twice in the last 7 months but i use it every day for hours on end so the 18 month battery life is just wishful thinking"

"this is an average product for the price offered"

"just hit the little button at the top a few times"

"this has been the first mouse that i've experienced with this design flaw"

"it works left handed but is more awkward i note about this to warn people or a left handed version would be great"

"just insert one aa battery plug in the wireless usb which is tiny so doesn't get in the way wait a moment or two for the device to set up and you're good to go"

"just noticed our latest 'working' mouse does occasionally twitch and send its mouse pointer to a corner of the screen so this may be another developing fault will keep you posted on whether this action gets worse or settles down"

"if this mouse lasts 12 months it will have performed no worse than any of my £25 logitechs all of which developed problems at around this time and required replacing"

"it ought to be obvious that you can't expect this mouse to match a logitech vx nano for quality it doesn't have the positive heft of the logitech and it's missing a couple of the features you'll get on a vx nano e"

"just slot the very small discrete usb receiver into a spare port you'll find this inside the mouse's battery compartment insert one aa battery and away you go"

"slightly wasteful using batteries but you can always get the rechargeable batteries"

"however a few days later the seller contacted me about it and sent me a replacement model and i am happy to say it worked perfectly very good after sales service by the seller very quick to rectify the problem excellent mouse now with the new replacement model works really well"

"it is laggy hovers annoyingly over items and skips suddenly all of which is especially frustrating when trying to be precise"

"seemed to be okay and was pleased with the extended battery life after using a microsoft battery that ate batteries but any joy was short lived as after only 4 months it started to become unresponsive"

"update may 2020: bluetree is now responding to my messages about the replacement of the new broken m002 which is good"

"as this is essentially the sole purpose of a mouse i'm astounded by the number of good reviews it's obtained as mine failed in this very basic aspect"

"good size but doesn't feel like you've got a positive grip of it could do with rubberised sides feels heavy too ordered what i though was the older single battery version but the twin version arrived"

"when i returned from holiday it would not work"

"but i've had it 2 days i switch it off whenever it's not in use and the battery has died already!"

"the biggest problem for me was getting used to the new mouse after the logitech but now that i have used it for several weeks i am pretty happy with it"

"nothing to set up put the little responder in the usb drive and off you go"

"as for battery life… this little beaut seems to defy the laws of science"

"it may be just a driver issue and maybe there's some way of sorting it all but these days it's reasonable to expect simple stuff like this to work out of the box and i can't be bothered to spend time researching"

"just a shame my 7 year old son likes it too which means he will probably claim it for himself"

"the buttons are not difficult to press although that's not to say that they are particularly flimsy rather that they are well designed as indeed are the back forward buttons which on some mice are damn near impossible to avoid pressing accidentally"

"things would move by themselves sliders in lightroom scrollbars in web browser and pressing ctrl would instantly start the website zooming in uncontrollably it doesn't do this with the mouse removed "

"the only disappointment for me is that it is designed for right handed people"

"4ghz traffic is heavy constant in my case copying data from to my mobile's sd card over wifi "

"i use it with an hp laptop to overcome the truly awful touchpad and its unpredictable software and it performs every task as expected"

"i found that the connection between the mouse and the dongle is nowhere near as strong as i thought it would be"

"a comparable power saving mouse i had didn't use up the power in a single aaa battery over 2 years so this should be good to go!"

"i had bolught this same mouse for my son and a different model for myself that i had to send the others back and order one of these myslelf for home use"

"both looked completely different to my original purchase the material quality lacked the standard of my first mouse it was less responsive i even changed the battery several times to check if it was the mouse or battery and even different laptops and pc's and most annoyingly the sound of the mouse clicks are so much louder"

"it does mean that occasionally you have to wait a second for it to wake up which is why i dropped 1 star"

"4ghz wireless mobile optical mouse with 6 buttons this did not respond at all but it felt cheap not very comfortable to hold and not as well constructed as the tecknet classic m002 so if you are comparing these two choose the tecknet"

"i have massive hands but i have heard other people complain it's too small"

"the buttons have a nice clicking action and the scroll wheel isn't too loose or wobbly like with some mice"

"for me personally buttons need too much force so could not use long term without rsi"

"rubber pads beneath aren't very robust easily scratched"

"the worst feature is the mouse wheel this started mediocre and became progressively worse"

"the transceiver is tiny hardly noticable when plugged in to the side of a laptop"

"it was packaged efficiently in a cardboard box without any of the useless plastic packaging you usually get with electronics"

"just for a laugh i even tried it on my girlfriends windows 8 laptop"

"i've been using this for what seems like years i'm sure the models have changed over time but the shape and design remain the same they never fail to disappoint!"

"this results in a small delay about a second for the pointer to respond when you use it again and often requires a click for it to respond again"

"i also found that personally the 3rd mouse button pressing the scroll wheel is a little too stiff and requires some force to push making my finger tired"

"the battery consumption is really good even though it only needs a single battery and the grip is super comfortable with the two side buttons which i personally just can't do without at this point"

"either this is a faulty mouse or i’ve been sold a cheap knock off"

"since i got the mouse battery has not been an issue at all i can see this mouse lasting months and months before needing a replacement battery"

"a breeze to install on my windows 7 64 bit acer laptop: installed 2 aaa batteries in the mouse removed the wireless adapter from the slot in the base of the mouse installed it to a standard size usb socket windows automatically installed the driver and the mouse was up and running within a few minutes"

"some of the reviews report different and conflicting details about these mice"

"not sure if this is just a faulty mouse as there are many good reviews but for me it's been very poor and i'll be ordering a different mouse and maybe spending a bit more"

"i would say that a mouse even at this price range should provide the functionality to change the functionality of these buttons"

"i find myself using the rear thumb button a lot as the default a "back" button"

"the mouse feels flimsy and cheaply constructed"

"the batteries in this mouse seem to last forever got this mouse back in july and its late september now and the batteries are still lasting!"

"unlike other laptop mice this operates on a single aa cell"

"i have used this mouse day in and day out for many hours a day and ever since the day it arrived which must be quite a few months now and so far i have not had a problem with any part of it so i think that it is as reliable as any other and all products get one that has a faulty component from time to time so it would not stop me from purchasing it after reading the review that stated that theirs had broken after a short time"

"decided on the tecknet as it had great reviews and at that price not too much of a risk"

"unfortunately i find the cursor movement gets stuck"

"i also bought another one same company which has the same problem but managed to return it on time"

"unfortunately i wish i had gone with the logitech ones i have used in the past as this mouse has some crazy mouse acceleration"

"have always used logitech mice before and had a problem with my last one when using it with two monitors so was unsure about this one as it was so cheap"

"as a general rule i've avoided wireless mice and keyboards because the wireless reception hasn't ever been great"

"a potential downside is that short of removing the battery i can't find an off button which means the batteries have to be changed every 2 3 months but at a cost of about £1"

"so if it doesn't work do what i have returned it luckly bought through amazon"

"just noticed our latest 'working' mouse does occasionally twitch and send its mouse pointer to a corner of the screen so this may be another developing fault will keep you posted on whether this action gets worse or settles down"

"for such a cheap price this a great device"

"i have waited 3 or 4 months before leaving feedback on this item as previous reviews were mixed and some customers claimed that the mouse stopped working soon after purchase"

"i haven't been let down by this one"

"but as i tried to remove it from usb port it came apart in my hand leaving the metal sleeve in the port"

"the mouse stopped working and the light indicated that the batteries were flat although when i checked they'd hardly lost any power since installed"

"as my previous mouse lost wheel functionality after a dropping incident i quickly bought this mouse"

"the worst feature is the mouse wheel this started mediocre and became progressively worse"

"i like the additional buttons near the thumb which move forward and backward a page"

"i then used a wacom wireless mouse but that didnt fare too well either"

"and i know i can't complain too much about this since i didn't properly check before buying"

"ok its not expensive but to have two mice both stop working before they've lasted 2 years is irritating particularly as the buttons and scroll wheel seem ok its just the pointer sticking on the screen and its position seeming to be a mystery to my pc"

"poor tracking cursor jumps around too much and also stays still with small mouse movements "

"the 'nano' usb connector is hardly visible and doesn't get knocked the way my old one did"

"even at the price i wouldn't recommend this mouse i expect lower quality materials not usage issues"

"the small button on top will alter the speed of the mouse providing you with a personalised setup"

"it looks nice enough but don't be fooled by the looks"

"the underside emits no red light so to see if it's on you have to make sure it's off then switch the mouse on from underneath whilst looking at the top"

"yeah yeah yeah a negative bit of info"

"other people don't seem to have issues with it though so maybe it'll be fine for you and if that were the case with me i'd highly recommend it as it is smooth when it does function properly"

"also i think they went overboard with the ergonomics"

"the previous two in fact have been made by logitech and it's difficult to find fault with them"

"the mouse also has webpage back & forward buttons and the scroll wheel has a separate button action when pressed down too"

"and i know i can't complain too much about this since i didn't properly check before buying"

"it is not amazingly precise however especially if your using it on a sofa or even your lap but i don't think one can complain too much about that"

"i've tried cheap batteries and expensive duracell"

"the left click now sometimes doesn't hold down so you can't click and drag unless firmly pressed"

"i have tried a few things with my connections but nothing works"

"on the first mouse i thought i'd just been unlucky but now i feel sure it's a design shortcoming"

"there is also a noticeable delay every time the mouse is idle and you try to use it"

"there is nothing fancy about them they are just a standard two button wheel mouse"

"the buttons are not difficult to press although that's not to say that they are particularly flimsy rather that they are well designed as indeed are the back forward buttons which on some mice are damn near impossible to avoid pressing accidentally"

"this mouse has a serious problem with interface between computer and mouse itself"

"the one thing that i noticed and is basically why i gave this product 4 stars and not 5 is the weirdly distributed weight of the mouse after you insert a aa battery"

"it is full size but was every so slightly smaller than i expected i have absolutely no problems with it but if you have larger than average hands i'd consider looking at an alternative"

"when my first mouse died i presumed i was just unlucky but now my second has also died and a newer model it makes me think this could be planned obsolescence!"

"the design is quite good but my particular model does not work it won't switch on properly sometimes it switches on and then fades after about half a minute it obviously has a major fault to it so i simply put it on one side and don't use it any more it really needs to go back to the seller and be exchanged for another one"

"this shortens it's already poor battery life"

"i just shut these down and crossed my fingers"

"i've been running the latest mouse with an old rechargeable battery that doesn't hold charge well"

"i only have two minor issues with it the default dps is a little high for my tastes but that can be adjusted and compared to my normal mouse it's a little small but i have very large hands and my mouse fits with that theme"

"however i will point out that the small dongle that attaches to the computer can and does become damaged after 6 9 months of laptop use"

"worked fine for a while long batery life good size"

"overall though those few negatives are quite small and generally not a huge issue"

"either this is a faulty mouse or i’ve been sold a cheap knock off"

"i have been using an older model wireless tecknet mouse for a whole but unfortunately on my work travels its gone missing!"

"it goes idle after prolonged periods of inactivity so you needn't worry about wasted battery life"

"can not really complain for the money but will be buying logitech next time"

"trivial as it is i find this irritating"

"one aa battery is required"

"i like the additional buttons near the thumb which move forward and backward a page"

"sensitivity adjust button and forward backward buttons are very handy"

"i am very insert long series of expletives upset as i need a mouse for certain software i use and i will now miss my deadline as i live in a rural area and will now have to order another mouse certainly not this one and wait"

"overall it's cheap and for a cheap price it is well worth the money but i would not advise any pro gamers to purchase this for the sole purpose of dominating their games it's just not optimal"

"so i replaced the battery with another new one & it didn't help"

"works on many surfaces"
