AmazonBasics 3-Button USB Wired Computer Mouse (Black)

I bought a few of these in 2016. It took about 2 1/2 years of heavy use for the left click to get unreliable. For the price, I figured this was an adequate lifespan. I bought four more in October 2018. First thing I noticed was that the new ones were noticeably flimsier in construction. Second thing I noticed was that surfaces the 2016 model had no problem with, the 2018 model wouldnt work on. Had to buy a mousepad like it was 1999! Third thing was that one of the 2018 mice completely died after about 40 days of use. Amazon says it "might" be eligible for replacement until October 2019 but doesnt actually give me a button on the website to return or replace this product. For $6.99 I dont expect a lot of mouse, but I do expect more than 40 days.

Most uncomfortable computer mouse Ive ever used. Its cheap, so you expect it to be cheap, but you also expect it to be designed to fit the human hand. Apparently one of the corners cut was any consideration for the customer being able to hold the mouse without straining their hand because of how incredibly small it is and how low of a silhouette it has. This is just painful to use for any length of time. Not recommended. Buy something else. On top of that, the cord is incredibly short, so its recommended only if youre using it for a laptop or your desktop tower is right next to you. The plastic feels incredibly cheap to touch. Those are flaws that are forgivable for the sake of a lower price. The thing being so small it immediately causes pain when you use it is not. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Good while it lasted, about 3-4 months each is all Ive gotten from two orders of this mouse. The cost is good but the inconvenience of not being reliable takes a recommendation off the table.

This is a DISPOSABLE item. Dont consider it a piece of equipment. Think of it as a computer SUPPLY item that you use up, and then toss - like toner for a laser printer. This mouse is very lightweight and the buttons require an extremely light touch. I knew they wouldnt last. They feel delicate and fragile...and they ARE that, so they FAILED. After about a year the left button (used most often) became less and less responsive. Oh, well...

I really liked this mouse when I got it. It worked fantastic for about a week. Super easy to set up. Just plug and go. Unfortunately, that was about it. It just suddenly stopped working. Completely unresponsive after about only 8 days. Very disappointed. I wouldve exchanged it and tried again, since it had been working so well, but I need a replacement immediately, so instead I just returned for refund.

The mouse seemed to function well (if a bit small) for 3 days, but after being dropped once ~3 feet onto carpet (really??), the left and right-click buttons popped out of their alignment. I spent about 10 minutes trying to reconfigure the cheap plastic bits without ripping off the buttons entirely, but only managed to snap one off in frustration. For a $7 mouse, Im not all that surprised, but was hoping the build quality would hold up to such minor abuse.
