    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.

    I bought this mouse 6 months ago due to it's great value. It's worked wonderful for the last 6 months. Replaced the batteries after 3-4 months of use. I went to replace the battery again 6 months after purchasing and the mouse wouldn't turn on. The bottom battery wasn't making contact with both sides of the contactors and was very loose. I stuck a small pick to bend the spring side of the contactor back where it'll be tight on the battery. Placed batteries back into position and the mouse worked! I think this is a build quality problem and could use improvement if Best Buy is to make a next generation. Otherwise if you're looking for something that will just "work" this is great but you may experience the same problems I did.

    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.

    I am very happy with the Best Buy Essentials Bluetooth mouse, connected easily, smooth operating, feels comfortable in my hand, I find the BB brands Essentials, Insignia to be good value and reliable products. It came with Energizer max batteries. Got a couple of months of use on it and won't be surprised if that becomes years.

    Pretty solid mouse. Easy to connect to my pc, Never experienced any disconnects so far. Feels durable. Only con was that it's tiny. But i guess i should have ch3cked the dimensuons first. I dont have large hands but it feels pretty tiny. I dont mind though because it don't use it for gaming and only use it for browsing.

    A versatile mouse with all the features and without the premium brand cost. Lightweight mouse that is comfortable to hold. Very easy to connect to the PC as windows recognized it right away. Connection and response is good as long as not too far away from the computer.

    I didn’t know Best Buy had there own line of products, when I walked in to buy a mouse and seen the price I thought why not give it a shot. I wasn’t disappointed. It’s blue tooth so you don’t need anything extra and very responsive

    I got this nice little comfortable mouse for $10 seeing that I had $5 in rewards points. It comes with two AAA batteries. It connects easily to my M1 MacBook Air. It is super comfortable (I do have small hands). The scrolling mechanism seems to be quality, and easily scrolls up and down. I saw some negative comments about that, but had no issues with it personally. Actually I like this mouse so much, I'll buy another one and keep on the shelf as a backup.

    Just b/c the brand name says "Best Buy Essentials" does NOT mean that the quality of the product will be questionable. In fact, this mouse works just as well as other name-brand Bluetooth mice I've bought in the past. LOL... well, when you stop & think about it, unless you're a gamer or some other type of high-end computer user, all of the mice currently selling in stores are pretty much the same!

    Who says Bluetooth has to be expensive? This is the perfect price. Have your pc search for the device,connect and you're ready. On/Off switch saves the battery. Using with Samsung Galaxy 360 Pro.
