    For a cheap mouse it is alright, but it just stopped working 1 and 1/2 months after I bought it. Since it is under the 1 year warranty, going to bring it back to Best Buy for a replacement, we will see what they say as it is technically outside of the return period.

    This mouse works fine, with a hitch... Overall, I like that it's Bluetooth, but it only gets 2 stars because occasionally, when my computer goes to sleep, the Bluetooth disconnects and I have no cursor. My old wireless mouse is nearby so I can use it to jump start things. Aside from that annoyance, I like the fit to my hand, the feel and function of the mouse.

    The mouse wobbles because the base isn't really flat. The left button doesn't engage properly unless pushed in just the right position. This mouse isn't worth the low price. I switched back to a more expensive Logitech Anywhere mouse and am much happier.

    It doesn't seem to be capable of reconnecting automatically to any computer. You invariably have to go into bluetooth settings and delete, then re-add the mouse every time. Makes me miss my mouse that connected to a small usb dongle. That worked every time
