AmazonBasics Wireless Computer Mouse with Nano Receiver - Silver

التعليق

bought this mouse on 6/29/16 and loved it. then about 2 months later the battery cover wouldnt stay on the mouse. no problem, i used it without the cover fine. now the mouse keeps turning off involuntarily during use ... very annoying. now I have to buy another, non-microsoft product since Im not adept at using the touchpad on my laptop. Update to my initial review: sent defective mouse back to Amazon BUT apparently they are claiming that they did not receive it and I cant prove that I sent it so guess what, they billed me for the replacement. Its only $11.69 BUT its doubly annoying that Ive had to buy a second one. Update 5/22/17: My second replacement mouse just died. Replaced batteries but mouse just keeps turning off. Charged for two of these and none of them lasted a year. Going back to Best Buy and Logitech.

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.

I have tried many variations of the standard computer mouse over the years. You probably have too. From weird angles, extra buttons in the scroll, funny side buttons that only make you go backwards on your web browser...Sometimes, you just want a point, click, scroll...and thats it. Pros: - This mouse delivers on simplicity. It doesnt have fancy advanced features. This basically functions as a point and click. It has a left and right hand button to do those old fashioned right and left button tasks. It has a basic scroll button. Its low tech features, but quality built for those features that it has. - It seems to work on most surfaces without a mouse pad. - Cost is ridiculously low. Its almost so low that you question its quality. In this case - its Amazon. Amazon has really delivered on their Amazon Basics division. This falls neatly into that category of awesome but inexpensive Amazon Basics stuff. - Connected within a second to my computer (Mac). I dont see any connectivity issues. I didnt have to download drivers at all. Cons - I havent used it long term yet so if there is a break down, or the battery life turns out to be poor, I will update. For now, its behaving beautifully. Overall, if you miss a nice, simple, uncomplicated mouse - start here. Worst case scenario, you can return it. After all, Amazon has been standing behind their stuff for a while now so Im not afraid to start with theirs and see how well they did. This is another one that didnt disappoint and it cost 50% less than its nearest competitor (at the time I bought it at least).

After going through 5 or 6 mouses (yes, the debate on mice vs mouses for computer is still going on...), Ive finally settled on this one. What I was looking for was a mouse that doesnt have a three button wheel (center, left and right) because I use the center wheel button to open a link in a new tab in Mozilla; the problem with other mouses (or mice) was that they many times went back or forward because of the three buttons. This one is perfect in that respect. The original batteries drained in a few months (there was a red blinking light on it and functionality was reduced) so Ill see how long the new ones last. It was a little small at the beginning but it took me half of day to adjust. Its not loud and it looks rather classically professional, if that makes sense :) Overall, a good buy. Hope this helps :)

This is a solid mouse for the price. I bought this to accompany my MacBook Pro. The mouse works well and I have had no latency or connectivity issues with it. I would say the only two drawbacks are the following: 1) The mouse is a bit small for my hands. Im a 33 year old man, and my hands completely engulf this mouse. My wife really likes the size. Since this is traveling around with my laptop, the smaller size might be appropriate. I wouldnt use this for a desktop, however. 2) Apple is forcing the issue of using USB C as a standard. My MacBook Pro doesnt have a standard USB port, so I have an adapter with a USB port. Unfortunately, the standard Apple adapter only has one USB port. If I need to use my flash drive, then I have to give up my mouse. Given the popularity of Apple laptops, it would be nice if Amazon provided a version with a USB C receiver instead of the one included here. The above comments are really specific to me. This is a solid option if you want a wireless mouse, and I recommend it.

The process of opening the package and setting up the mouse is maddeningly difficult and requires use of a spotlight and a magnifying glass, The mouse comes in a cardboard box which does not reveal its contents without ripping the cardboard to shreds. Installing the batteries requires figuring out the plastic strip (which is intended to help remove the expired batteries later but just gets in the way when the mouse is new) and finding the "+" and "-" marks that show which way to insert each battery. Finding the nano USB transceiver and removing it was much easier than I have experienced with other similar models, The mouse-- smaller than the old-style wired models-- is a comfortable size although I have large hands. The scroll wheel does not roll smoothly but moves in a soundless click-click-click motion-- I cant say I like it, as the screen I am scrolling moves in a jerky fashion.The mouse has only very basic functions, but it does them well enough for the price.

The mouse is too small. Worse yet, after inserting into USB and pulling out, the metal part of the receiver stayed in the laptop. I am disappointed.

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.

I bought two of these in September 2015 for work. One just failed a couple weeks ago; Ill never know how the other one would have lasted because I let one of my attorneys borrow it for a presentation - the nub was still hooked into the laptop when he came back, but he has no idea where the mouse went (schmuck). As far a functionality goes, theyre awesome. I do a lot of courtroom work with both mac and PC laptops, and theyre just simple, efficient, plug/play devices. Im ordering two more (and will never loan them out again). 8/6/2016 update: Yep, Im an idiot. It wasnt the mouse that failed; it was the pack of AZBasic batteries I was using. I pulled the never-used set out from the "dead" mouse and put them into the new one, and it failed. Then I pulled another couple sets from the same pack out and tried them on all three, and the meeces failed. So, then (sorry, this is already boring), I used a completely different batch of AZBasic batteries in all three, and all of them work fine. It was just that pack of batteries. Bumping the mouse up to 5 stars; these things are great. Now I have to figure out what to name the three of them.
