    BEST TRAVEL MOUSE PERIOD!!!

    It's my favorite mouse of all time (and I have owned lots of expensive ones very expensive ones)because of my ADHD. I tend to leave mice's places, and this is the first mouse that hits both enjoyable to use and complete apathy for leaving it at a Starbucks I love it. It's comfortable long lasting battery nicely weighted connects every time and overall a pleasure to use it has good mouse skates a nice texture solid scroll wheel with features that make it feel lightweight by design and solid not lightweight because of a lack of quality which seems to be a hard thing to do for a lot of budget mouse developers and other brand essential ones like Amazon essentials and my favorite thing of all whenever I lose it, there's another one waiting for me at Best Buy and nobody mentions this, but it's small however, the very front of the house has a tapered edge that's flat with the front but still attached to the left and right click button buttons so if you have a big hand, you can grab the mouse fully and just hit the left and right mouse buttons on the front not just the top so it's big hand people friendly the first joint on your finger at the end just rest perfectly on the corner, where the L and R mouse buttons start to taper down towards the front of the mouse leaving your fingers just slightly extending past the front of the house without feeling like the mouse is too small (DOESN'T FEEL LIKE YOUR TOES HANGING OFF A FLIP-FLOP THAT'S TOO SMALL when fully seated at the back of your palm)

    Great for a Bluetooth mouse

    With the advent of USBc and MacBooks killing all ports, i came in need of a Bluetooth mouse. This works well. Quick connection, remembered by my MacBook and connecting automatically. Light and small. So small it is a little uncomfortable for me but your mileage may vary.

    Cost-Effective 6-Button BT Mouse

    Although I have a few optical mousies (or mice if you prefer), my new laptop has Bluetooth capabilities so I wanted to eliminate the use of a USB-A dongle (wireless adapter) to free up the port. After searching and reviewing numerous mice options, I chose this one. Ahhh basically because I am somewhat cheap (or thrifty as I prefer). A very simple process to setup and configure, plus the extra buttons are an added bonus getting around web pages and setting the DPI. Battery life is at the moment unknown, we’ll see. The size is about the same size in my hand as my previous mice, so it feels good and something I am used to. If I had one complaint, it would be to lower, or better yet completely eliminate, the “clicking” noise it makes when using the top left and right mouse buttons. Other than that, highly recommended for less than twenty bucks.
