AmazonBasics Wireless Computer Mouse with Nano Receiver - Red

I bought this mouse in October and, for a little while, it worked quite well. In the last week or so, though, it seems to cut out. I thought that maybe it was just a connection issue, so I changed the USB ports. That didnt fix the problem, so I thought maybe it was just because of the software (maybe an update, or something) on my work computer, so I tried it on my personal computer and experienced the same issue. I decided that surely, the batteries I had recently put into the mouse were on the verge of death - maybe they were defective or something, and so I changed the batteries. Again, there was no improvement in the connectivity issue. I also tried the "connect" button on the mouse and attempted turning it off and back on, restarting the computer, and telling my computer to "forget" the mouse so that it could reinstall the driver... none of which have resolved the issue. When it works, it works well. Unfortunately, though, the one I received does not seem to be sturdy or reliable. From the other reviews, it seems that the mouse is pretty reliable and works well... so I am assuming that I just received one with some sort of manufacturing defect. Still, given the amount of work I do on the computer, I think I would probably be better off with a Logitech or some other more recognized product.

I regret buying this product. Normally Amazon basics are well constructed, sadly this mouse is not !. Many previous reviews have noted the failures of this mouse, I stupidly thought "how could Amazon get it wrong with such a simple item", and thus ignored the bad reviews. As the reviews have noted the battery door pops off continuously. This is simply poor design, the battery door is super thin plastic and the tongue of the latch is about 1mm wide giving it little chance of staying closed under any normal use. The battery location is also poorly designed causing the batteries to pop put if you simply pick up the mouse and place it down. It could be the batteries banging on the battery door that cause the door to pop out, I have used this 3 times ( and had the door come off and batteries dislodge twice already). The upside ( and thus its a 2 star ) is the rest of the mouse is fine, it feels good in the hand, the electronics works well, resolution is superb, it doesnt lose bluetooth connectivity with my macbook pro ( unlike Apples magic mouse ). In all it feels great, looks good, it just needs a working battery door, and a change to the battery holder, then it would be a 5 star product. Do not buy this product. And dear Amazon, I am happy to discuss this with product control, mouse serial number is 6F18605082B, you know how to contact me.
