Consumer review (newegg.com)

I've owned it for 3 years +

I bought this in Jan 2013 and in Jan 2016 the scroll wheel is starting to behave erratically. There's one screw on the bottom of the mouse hidden under a sticker. I opened it up and found the scroll wheel mechanism was dusty. I cleaned it out and the...

Works on lots of different surfaces. Tracks well. Comfortable.

Lasted for 3 years

I bought this in Jan 2013 and in Jan 2016 the scroll wheel is starting to behave erratically. I got good service out of this compared to a mini-mouse I bought from a different company which only lasted a few months. Three years seems like a good amount...

Backup Mouse Only

I give it no less than 3 stars, because it lasted as long as it did for me. I believe I got what I paid for (~$10). If you decide to purchase it, remember the title of this review.

For the price, the mouse is good for general purposes and as a backup ; It's functional at its default 1000 dpi, which is suitable for 1920 x 1080 resolution screens ; The optic eye is steady - it does NOT cause the pointer to jump around the screen

After over a year of regular use, the left mouse button wore out showing clicking over-sensitivity issues, making my mouse unusable. Too bad ; This is no gaming mouse. If you want to game, then shell out the money for one ; While not a portable mouse,...

Still a Good Standard Mouse

Other Thoughts: I mostly use it on a flat wooden table surface with my laptop. * The noise is only a factor within very quiet environments, such as a study room in a library with someone sitting next to you.

The mouse works for general purposes and as a backup. It's functional at its default 1000 dpi, which is suitable for 1920 x 1080 resolution screens. The optic eye is steady - it does NOT cause the pointer to jump around the screen.

It's not robust. After months of playing a game that involves holding the middle mouse button and dragging the mouse, using the middle mouse button/scroll wheel makes the cursor jump through the screen. It's clear that this is no gaming mouse. Though...
