Amazon Basics 2.4 Ghz Wireless Optical Computer Mouse with USB Nano Receiver, Black

I subscribe to a computer-related blog written by an expert in the area of devices and how to use them; he recommended that people check out Amazon Basics because they are durable, functional, and comfortable to use.As advertised, the mouse arrived in good order. I opened the battery package, put them into the mouse, inserted the USB plug into my laptop and it worked from the very first, something that doesn't always happen for me. It's small enough for my hand to be comfortable using it, lightweight enough that it doesn't drag my arm along, and it works fine on my physical desktop, without a mousing pad. I will definitely use this brand again when it wears out or when I need other items for other devices.

Several months ago when the keys on my laptop mouse pad started to go out, I was really irritated because I have gotten so used to using the mouse pad that I was worried that I wouldn't be able to work as efficiently using a wireless mouse. I knew that it would only be a few days before the keys got to the point that I wouldn't be able to use them and started looking on Amazon for a wireless mouse that I might possibly be able to stand using on a daily basis. I spotted the AmazonBasics Wireless Mouse and thought that it wouldn't be that great because it was way cheaper than most of the other wireless ones that I could find. I went ahead and placed my order because I needed something and thought that if it didn't work that well, I wouldn't be out of that much money. When it arrived, I was happy to see that it was a tad bit smaller than other ones that I have used with desktops in the past since I have small hands. I opened the package, popped in some batteries, plugged the nano receiver into my USB slot, and it was working instantly. I thought that it would take some time to install ( I did not read much on it when I purchased it honestly, I just needed one quick!), but was SO happy to see that it needed nothing to be installed. I have been using this wireless mouse for about a year and half now and I have recommended it to SO many people who were looking for one. I work at home on my laptop 7 days a week and anywhere between 12 - 18 hours a day. I only have to change the batteries about once every two months (sometimes it will go a little longer and sometimes a little bit less - not sure on why though). This mouse has worked flawlessly since the day of purchase and I was SO wrong to think that because it was cheaper than the others that it wouldn't work as well. There has never been a time where it disconnected from the computer or that there was any issue using it. A few times when it has needed the batteries changed and I wait a few days, there is a tiny lag - but that is all my fault. The AmazonBasics Wireless Mouse has a little red indicator light that lets you know when the batteries are getting low and need to be changed. I like that feature so that I'm always aware of when they need to be changed. Since I travel a lot, this mouse is great because it doesn't take up a lot of space in the laptop bag. I also never have to worry about losing the nano receiver because once you remove the little door to the battery area, there is actually a space that the nano receiver clicks into making it perfect for travel. If you are in the market for a great wireless mouse, I would recommend the AmazonBasics Wireless Mouse because it has been through over a year of my all day, everyday use and still works just like the day that I purchased it!

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this mouse for the price. It began working immediately with no install required and came with batteries, which was a major plus. It is smooth with no lag or glitches at all. It's a bit on the small side, so people with bigger hands might find it difficult, but I'm only 5ft so it fit me perfectly.

This mouse connected perfectly, feels good, and even works seamlessly with my cordless keyboard, which of course uses a different dongle. I have only one small issue, but it's one I thought worth mentioning. While the buttons work normally when moving the cursor around the screen, when it comes to actually making a selection with the primary button (right- or left-handed, doesn't matter), one must press the button VERY deliberately and somewhat slower for the "click" to be recognized. A typical "quick click" at the speed one would normally use, say, when typing or normal "mousing" often will not register with the computer. The result is that I have to slow down and click again. In several decades of using a computer mouse I've never experienced this phenomenon. I've grown used to it, however, and adjusted to the necessity to give the selection button a slower and harder "press" when making selections, and that's all it takes. And oddly, it only requires this extra deliberate action when pressing a selection button. Not the biggest issue one could have, but I thought it worth mentioning. Other than that, no problems, and really, the price is very good, so as they say, you pays your money and you makes your choice. ;-)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I chose this product because it was really reasonably priced. It works really well! The polarity indicators inside really are difficult to discern. It took a bright flashlight to see. Otherwise it is a very effective mouse.

Great mouse!. Works on the couch too. Great price. I've been using it Since August 2024 and it's perfect for basic office computer work. no issues at all.

The media could not be loaded. I’m thrilled with this Amazon Basics wireless mouse! Its sleek design adds a touch of elegance to my workspace, while its simplicity ensures it's easy to use and set up. The wireless connectivity is reliable, and the mouse glides smoothly, making navigation effortless. Whether for work or leisure, it performs flawlessly. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a stylish and functional mouse!

Needed a cheap mouse for travel. It's smaller than I would typically use, both in width and length. Seems to work fine. Not sure how long the two AA batteries will last that came with it. All my other mice are rechargeable which can last me an entire week of daily use. I guess I ordered it without checking if it was battery operated. Took off 1 star just because the size is more for a child except proportionally taller than even my other mice.
