    Not my favorite mouse.

    I purchased this mouse to replace an older Logitech M220. The M220 broke when it was accidentally dropped. This one looked similar and I thought it would be the same. However: • The mouse pointer makes choppier moves on the screen • I had to replace the battery with another new one. The mice are similar but there is a small ridge on the back of the BestBuy mouse. The feel in my hand is different but I'm sure that will disappear as I continue to use it. If I need to buy another mouse, it likely will not be one of these.

    This mouse works fine but the weight feels too light. Also, there are two pieces of it out front where fingers grip and it doesn't feel natural. So I now use this mouse just as a backup mouse but got another Logic brand mouse as my primary.

    I just got it because I need a mouse during a trip. I am not impressed. I had a lot of Logitech M310 series, and their shape fit my palm well. I think their design has a thin middle part and fat front and end, so it's easy to grip. This one has a thin front, and fat end, it's easy to lose it. I'll try a few more weeks and see if I can tolerate this.

    Easy to connect and use. It is a little too lightweight for my liking. It jumps too much when trying to be very accurate. It does the job, but I would not choose it again.

    Average mouse. It's a little noisy when you press the buttons, which is something that kind of bugged me. Maybe other people won't care about that. The material is ok, not great. For the price, it is decent.

    It works well but I it has two substandard attributes: It's too lightweight so there's very little friction with the desktop and subsequently, a "darty" or loose feeling in use. It could be a positive if lightest weight is important to you. 2) The USB transceiver is under the battery panel which requires removing and replacing the panel with each use. I use this mouse with my laptop so that's pretty much every use.

    The best small mouse for my hand is th. Despite its compact size, it offers excellent performance and comfort. The ergonomic design fits my hand perfectly, reducing strain during long gaming sessions. The wireless connectivity is reliable, and the battery life is impressive. Overall, it's a top-notch mouse.

    It is good for a very inexpensive, wireless mouse. However, I had to slow the mouse pointer speed down to as slow as possible as it moved the pointer much too fast. It disconnects occasionally when playing games but is very good for normal tasks.

      Hi,



      Thanks for your review.



      There is no DPI button on this mouse, need adjust the pointer speed to slow, you can go to computer's MOUSE PROPERTIES and POINTER OPTIONS to adjust the pointer speed to SLOW. BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    It's functional and works fine the majority of the time, it's just a bit stiff with a loud click that every so often loses its connection the receiver. It tracks well and works consistently so still not a bad mouse for simple tasks or for use for working from home.

    Decent price but the left mouse button sticks. You have to basically squeeze the whole mouse to make it unstick and function properly. Also randomly freezes occasionally.
