    I find this light and sensitive computer mouse to be a truly exceptional piece of technology. The design is sleek and ergonomic, making it comfortable to use for extended periods of time. Its responsiveness is remarkable, providing precise cursor control for any task. Furthermore, the lightweight nature of the mouse enhances overall maneuverability and reduces strain. I would highly recommend this mouse to anyone seeking a superior user experience.

    Inexpensive mouse for an emergency situation. A little clicky for me. But it got the job done.

    The only reason I didn’t put five stars is that it sometimes loses connection and I have to turn it off and back on. Other than that, I’m satisfied with the product! Definitely no need to buy a more expensive brand.

    I enjoy using this mouse! I use it for work while I’m typing case notes and it’s easy to plug into my usb-adapter and my work laptop. I recommend for college students, office work, or any task where you’d like to use a mouse. Sometimes using the trackpad gets frustrating, especially since it’s touch sensitive. My only gripe with this item is the cover under the mouse. I recommend using something else to open the cover other than your nail because it could break! Other than that, I recommend.

    Mouse works great, cheap and portable. Two small things I don't like about it are the fact that it needs batteries, and the annoying clicking noise it makes. I'd prefer a mouse that clicks silently.

    I gave it one less star because it’s a bit small for even my hands. It’s nice a compact, but if working long hours with it, it gets tough to work it. I like that you can control the speed well and change it to your preference.

    I purchased 10 of these to be used in a computer lab for an after school program. I meticulously numbered all parts (mouse/usb/computer) so that they stay together correctly. Last week - even when they were all with their respective parts...a mouse was connected to a computer across the room (it was a little spooky at first when the pointer was seemingly moving by itself! ) But, I turned off the mouse, removed the USB and then plugged it back in/turned on mouse and all was reset. Otherwise - it is a durable and well made product.
