I wanted to like this wired mouse. It had a decent feel to it when I first plugged it in. Not a high dollar mouse by any means. But it felt pretty good in my hand. It was fairly quiet with the clicks and I liked the length and width of this mouse. Could have been a little bit bigger to be a perfect size for a wired mouse, but personal preference is taken into consideration here. I have large hands and cant use the smaller peripherals. The downfall with the AmazonBasics mouse for me has been this: I have purchased two of these. Neither one lasted very long at all. By not lasting long, I mean the first one lasted a few weeks and developed a noticeable skip of the cursor when using the mouse. No, it didnt happen right away but within 3 weeks I couldnt use it. The second mouse was a bigger disappointment as it lasted 2 weeks at most, then started doing the same thing. Skipping and acting as if it were having a seizure when scrolling over buttons or links on a page. It happened frequently. I use a wired mouse (company policy) daily. Sometimes up to 12 hours in a day or more when adding in personal time. I have to be able to count on my computer and peripherals -- keyboard, mouse and monitor for my job. This AmazonBasics wired mouse was just a disappointment for me. I wanted to like it, but I have NEVER owned any mouse, wired or wireless that didnt last for at least 1 year to 18 months minimum. Many have lasted 4-5 years for my systems. I saw a couple of other reviews saying the same thing about the mouse acting up during use and the cursor problem. I am very surprised the reviews are so high. Did I want a replacement or to try it again? No thanks. Third time is NOT the charm.
