AmazonBasics Wireless Computer Mouse with Nano Receiver - Red

Purchased this mouse in August of 2016. It lasted until May of 2018, two months shy of 2 years. This mouse worked relatively well while it was working. It does come with a manual ON/OFF switch, which is necessary as it eats through batteries. I gave it 3 stars because it works pretty well, but I didnt like how quickly it went through batteries, 2 AAAs at a time, and I dont think it has good longevity. It did not get heavy use. My wife also uses this mouse and had to replace hers in less than a year although honestly I cant remember why. It may not have been due to premature product failure. Anyway, this time Im trying an equivalently priced mouse made by VicTsing. I just received it today so the jury is still out on this one. All I can say at this point is it works.

This mouse has worked great through 6 months of daily use so far. I got one for me and my wife and we are both very happy with them. It makes such a difference to not have to use the track pad on the laptop. It is nice that you can turn the mouse "off" to conserve battery or if you are travelling with it so it doesnt run the battery down or annoyingly shine its red laser in your bag. The USB connector also stows conveniently inside the battery compartment, but I mostly just leave it plugged into my laptop since it is so low profile (it sticks out just over 1/4" or so). Great mouse, great value! Update: As of month 7 of use, my wifes mouse began acting erratically. Sometimes the clicks worked, sometimes not. Then the computer wouldnt register mouse movements. It would work for about a minute after turning it off, and replugging the USB connector into the computer, then it would stop working again. I tried cleaning it and replacing the batteries, but this did not help. I also tested it on a different computer. It seems that the durability of this mouse is not great. I have adjusted my rating to 3 stars since 7 months is not an acceptable life span for a mouse. Update 2: Amazon provides a 1 year warranty on this product, which they promptly fulfilled after I sent the above information to them. I have received the replacement mouse and am, needless to say, very pleased with Amazons customer service.

Bought this to replace an old Microsoft USB mouse that was falling apart. Like the blue color, and the shape and size is similar to my old mouse, but after a few minutes use I have the feeling that the mouse wants to slide forward from my hand - this might become annoying. Major drawback: The dongle storage is inside the battery compartment. My old mouse had it in the bottom of the mouse, which was very convenient since I removed and stored it every night after work. Minor drawback 1: The dongle sticks out about a full centimeter, larger than my old mouse. Minor drawback 2: Battery insertion is confusing Major plus: Came with two batteries! Nice packaging too, all recyclable.
