    It won't power on even with batteries in in every possible arrangement. This problem comes up everytime i need to change the batteries where i have to play around with the arrangement for hours before eventually it decides to work. I think it is because the batteries aren't snug enough in the chamger

    I would give it zero stars if possible. Return window is 2 weeks on these so don't wait if you have problems with yours. This would not connect to a new Windows 11 pc at all, and worked on a Mac Mini for about 3 weeks. Apparently you get what you pay for-2 AAA batteries for 17 bucks and a hunk of plastic. Also the battery compartment is so tight you have to use a screwdriver to dig out the batteries, it's obvious whoever designed it never used one or didn't care.

    It is amazing that anyone who has ever used a mouse likes this thing. First: batteries did not insert properly, made no contact, I had to bend the metal contacts out for it to work. Second, the mouse wheel is AWFUL, too stiff, your finger slips off it. Worst mouse I have ever used. Not worth my time to return it.
