TeckNet 2600DPI Bluetooth Wireless Mouse, 12 Months Battery Life with Battery Indicator, 2600/2000/1600/1200/800DPI

**UPDATE** ***BUYER BEWARE*** Today I downloaded the recommended drivers from the Tecknet web site. After installing, the only thing that worked on my mouse or touchpad was cursor movement. Computer was unusable. Clicks were disabled. Reboot was pointless because the drivers are configured with autorun. Your computer is now a brick. The only way I fixed this was to go to the task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) Surprisingly the clicks did work. I disabled the service and went to "startup" and disabled the startup of the auto run mouse drivers. I am tech savy but if you dont feel like messing with this and spending lots of money and time with a PC repair tech, look for another manufacturer. I like plug and play... This is plug and pray... and a prayer wont help. This is a flawed product from start to finish.... Hardware AND software. I am really sorry I recommended this to anyone. And I did buy 4 of these devices. I am past my window of return so unless TECKNET WILL REFUND ALL OF MY MONEY, These will go where they all belong. In the trashcan....All 4 of them. I will remove this scathing review if I am OFFERED A REFUND for all 4 units. ***HERE IS MY ORIGINAL REVIEW*** Ive tested this mouse for many hours and weeks. Heres the truth. I bought 4 of these around December 2018. They ALL behave the same. I bought one for Dell XPS13, one for Surface Go, and one for a Samsung Tablet. One blue, one red, one grey and an extra grey one for backup because I "thought" there were a nice mouse... Time told the truth. First: Battery life is advertised as 24 month. This is a blatantly false claim. The above advertised copy says: "...up to 24 months on just 2 AAA battery! There is a handy indicator light to let you know when it is almost time to change the battery" blah blah blah. The truth is, this indicator starts to blink after 9-10 days (4 out of 4 devices). I am lucky to get 2 weeks out of each mouse before battery starts to cause mouse to "skip" around the screen and move the pointer as if a "ghost" were controlling the pointer, not me. Again, each device exhibits this characteristic. And for the record, I use Duracell Alkaline AAA batteries from Costco. I use batteries from the same batch/package for other things. I dont use off-brand batteries. Second: It feels cheap. At first I discounted this because the mouse worked well, but now after using these devices (every one) for almost 3 months, I certainly would not recommend this to anyone. If you want an inexpensive mouse (this one, any color) be prepared to buy a large pack of batteries from Costco or somewhere else. Had I known this in advance I would have gone with a Logitech mouse or other better quality mouse. I wont be sending these back because I am out of the return window. Its disappointing that it took a 3 month "burn in" on my part to truly get familiar with these devices. What really angers me is that companies make false claims that make suckers out of consumers. Take my experience, take my advice... Keep on looking for a name brand. Amazon is a mine field where you can really get nailed. READ THE REVIEWS. Make an educated choice. You get what you pay for.

I wanted to like this mouse, and I tried to use it, but... Upon trying it out for the first time, the batteries would not make a connection, as one of the positive terminals was too recessed. I tried to pull the connections out to make it work, but couldnt do it, so I ended up just using some tin foil to make the connection. Not great for a new product. I will use it as is and see how the rest of the features work and amend my review when I have tested it further. UPDATE review - Mouse works well, until it loses connection, BT connection may go back and forth, or may drop connection altogether. I tried to put new batteries in it, Eneloop aaas and just saw smoke coming out of the mouse! WTF!

I switch off the power when not in use. I hope this on/off/on switching doesnt prove a strain on the switching mechanism. The 24 month battery life should prove-out with my power switching habit. Otherwise I went through a set of fresh energizers over the course of 1 month. Update 090218: Previous 4 * downgraded. This POS eats batteries. Purchase 062118 followed soon thereafter with battery replacement. Now its hardly more than 2 months later (from purchase) Im starting on my third set of batteries, after employing my on/off switching schema. Stock up on AAA, go back to non bluetooth, or at the very least dont buy this POS. Update 092218: Previous 2 downgraded yet again. This POS easts batteries. 19 days on the last set of fresh Energizers. Rcvd a replacement today. POS paired after extended wait. Interface said it was paired/connected, but brand new unit would operate cursor. Switched back to 1st POS and it immediately paired up and operated as expected. You should see the BS fm TeckNet, numb nuts try to say 3000mAh AA (yes, AA) should last 480hrs of continuous use. These wudnt make a good...well, I cant say what theyd be good for.

I do have to open with the fact that the company contacted me after my purchase, and I informed them of the issue, and they sent a list of possible fixes. That said, none of the suggestions were new to me, and Id tried to correct the problem already with removing the device and re-connecting it, to no avail. I got the mouse connected and paired, then within three minutes, the pairing was lost, and could not be regained. I have two other BT devices connected to this PC for over a year now, and they have had no issues, so the pairing problem is not at the computers end. I cant be fussing with devices--this is used for work. So its one strike and youre out. Incidentally, a Logitech M535 didnt fare any better, so maybe Bluetooth mice just arent on a par with keyboards and headphones yet.

The mouse out of the box did not show any sign of working after I put in two brand new batteries (also searched YouTube and Internet to make sure I didn’ do anything incorrectly). I had to send a request for replacement. Unfortunately the replacement mouse came promptly, however, still the same problem...no sign of working at all! I do like the design and appearance of the mouse... I saw so many others said good thing about it too. I think I will love it if it works. I was intended to make another request for replacement as I am not in hurry and wanted to give it another chance. However, the only choice I had from Amazon app was to return. Sent both defective mouses back yesterday.

I got this in August. I used it at work where Im on my laptop moving around a lot. I liked Bluetooth over a usb connector because Ive had those break because they stick out. This mouse feels very light, which leads one to think cheap. Two AAA batteries lasted about 6-8 weeks per pair of name brand fresh batteries. Most mice and keyboards use AA these days so our admin had to order the batteries special for me, so I know theyre fresh. The warning light of imminent battery death was helpful, but I saw it too often. The batteries died about two weeks ago so I took them out. Our admin is back and ordered me more batteries. Apparently being in my backpack without something holding the battery connections in place was too much for this pathetic device. Now the light comes on when the one battery is slightly inserted. Push it in all the way (so I can close the battery door) and nothing. I checked the batteries and they are fine. The mounting of the wires and solders are so poor that something has broken loose and now it doesnt work. If the battery door is closed, it doesnt work. If I pull the one battery out slightly (and too much to flip it over and use it) the light comes on. Garbage battery eating waste of time. AVOID THIS JUNK!!!
