Amazon Basics Full Size Ergonomic Wireless Mouse with Fast Scrolling, Compatible with PC, Mac, Laptop - Black

Even though my new Acer Chromebook has a Touchpad as well as a Touchscreen and Stylus, I still prefer the mouse interface. This AmazonBasics Wireless Mouse was so inexpensive that I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. It's excellent.It is shaped much like Logitech's MX series mice -- the same large, ergonomically-sculpted shape which I find very comfortable (though not especially portable). I just plugged the receiver into the Chromebook and it worked!Battery life seems good. I've been using it for more than two weeks with 2 rechargeable AA's and I'm still getting 2 out of 3 LEDs on the battery indicator. It tracks predictably and remains connected. Buttons and scroll-wheel operate with the same "feel" as my Logitech mice.It is "Plug-and-Play" and does not come with any software. Instead, with whichever OS you're using, go your System Settings and make your adjustments for things like pointer speed there.I'm also using two different AmazonBasics Surge protectors and a USB Hub. I've found them all, as well as this Wireless Mouse, to be well-made, reliable and great value.

This is obviously a ripoff of the Logitech Performance MX mouse...... which I adore. The MX is getting very difficult to find, and when you do it's very expensive. I tried this as an alternative, and must say that I am impressed! Only a couple days old, but it works with the Logitech Setpoint software.....which identifies it as a Performance MX mouse..... aside from the lack of side to side click of the scroll wheel, it performs identically to an MX mouse..... and for $14 (purchased used/excellent condition from Amazon Warehouse) it's amazing. It does feel a bit "light" compared to the MX, but having worn out a total of 4 MX mice, this is the closest I've found. I'm seriously thinking of buy several......just to have as backups.

4 stars - due to a balance of good and bad.Good - Easily replaced my Logitech MX Master, similar feel. 3x Logitech MX Master and MX Master S2 stopped working and so I'm done with Logitech. Easy to use, features are all there. Includes a dongle and bluetooth works well.Needs Improvement - Sounds silly but my pinky hangs off the mouse and drags along the surface of my mouse pad. It didn't do this with Logitech, I didnt think my hands were that large. If the right edge of the mouse were extended a bit further forward then it'd have contact with the mouse and be fine.Observations - Feels a bit lighter than the MX Master.

I really want to like this mouse and I really don't like giving 1 star reviews but for me this device was not usable. Even with keeping the wireless receiver less than 1 foot away from the mouse I am plagued with continuous interruption / loss if signal.So if I'm moving my mouse across the screen the cursor might pause 4 or 5 times (because it loses signal for a few seconds). I click and it doesn't register. I scroll and it doesn't scroll. I've tried numerous batteries but it has been like this since purchase. Previously I had my desk set up where the receiver was 6 inches away (I arranged it purely for the sake of getting the mouse to work) from it at all times and it worked significantly better (not perfectly). I rearranged my whole desk to give me more space and so I moved where I had the receiver plugged in about a foot away and the issue became extremely pronounced and frustrating. With the functional range for me being 6 inches, I'd rather have a wired mouse. Unless my device is a fluke, I'd recommend not buying.Assuming it did work perfectly (like it almost did when my desk was setup differently) the scrolling is kinda slow and the back/forward buttons don't work on a Mac natively. I didn't have time or effort to spend to trying to get it to work to be fair. The mouse itself is extremely comfortable all things being said. So if it did work perfectly I'd probably give 3-4 stars but the low range / signal drop / whatever is just too frustrating and means it's an unusable product for me.

I've been using these for years, honestly I gotta buy them in bulk at some point. All around fantastic mouse, I use it for gaming regularly, has the perfect amount of extra buttons that are easily accessible by thumb. Brand name batteries will catch you about 5 months of charge with very regular usage. Very comfortable for someone with wrist and hand issues.

I will say that I am Logitech loyal for over 20 years.On my work desk I will continue to use Logitech.Currently I own 6x MX master 3S. They are still the best of the best.But I don't always need a $100 mouse.In a server rack, where I don't touch the mouse for weeks at a time, or something for kids where abuse is going to be common. This is a good cheap option.This mouse works, it feels almost the same. but certainly you can tell that its thinner, and not as durable.I wanted a cheaper alternative, and have found one, that I would recommend for the same.Light duty, or intermittent use. If you want a work horse, it should be Logitech MX.
