Great Mouse for the Whole Family
on September 23, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been taking turns using this mouse since everyone in the house wanted to try it. It has a nice look and some even better features that we all wanted to try it. I'm not a heavy gamer and will play just basic mmo type games on occasion. My main use is graphic design. I like that the mouse is super responsive without being wired with no delays that I noticed. I would charge it every few days when needed by the included cord and it needed no setup as it started working and was recognized by my gaming laptop as soon as I plugged in the USB dongle My youngest tried it next with the Omen by Hp Outpost mouse pad and he is definitely more of a gamer playing first person shooter, MMO, Open World, and platformers type of games. He really liked the wide range of DPI settings it offered and didn't notice any lag between using the wired mouse he was using versus this one. He loved the customization options and that it was easy to switch between DPI along with fast charging on the mousepad. My husband loves the side wings on both sides that come in handy for him when he's gaming so he doesn't get irritated from his thumb and little finger rubbing against the mousepad. My son's only criticism is that it was a little smaller than he preferred. It was a good size for the rest of us. I will definitely have to get more for Christmas for my two sons and myself since my husband has decided he gets to keep it.
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Gaming Mouse

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am highly impressed with this wireless gaming mouse. It is very responsive with no lag. Its great for gaming but also for everyday computer activties. You can change the settings so its not so senstive during non-gaming activities. Its wireless that can be charged through Qi charging. The battery life is long. The package states up to a 50 hour battery life. I went almost a week without having to charge it. The feel and the comfort of the mouse is superb.
Pros: Lightweight

Definitely most preferred mouse for a non-gamer
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: HonestReviews111
from San Antonio, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never been much of a PC gamer though I have played games occasionally. I am, however, a lifelong student and a professional who depends 100% on a computer, a mouse, and a keyboard. With the daily computing needs, it's very difficult and quite honestly annoying to have to depend on the built in trackers on laptops so converting the mouse to an external one as well as an ergonomic keyboard is a must.
The problem with a lot of previous mouse that I have used is that they're either not ergonomic and/or not responsive enough. This led me to have to change multiple changes throughout the year. This is honestly the very first time I tried an official gaming mouse and I am SO happy that this particular model was my selection!
The mouse is INCREDIBLY responsive as I would imagine a full time gamer would want it to be. The mouse is wireless and unlike all other wireless ones I have used, I cannot tell you how much of a game changer the Qi wireless charging pad is! No need to constantly replug to a usb and the charging process is a complete breeze!
The quality and overall feel and built of this mouse is incredible! It has a very solid construction and looks very crisp.
For those who are ambidextrous, this is the mouse for you! Time and time again when I had to switch the hands using this mouse, the difference is nonexistent. It's built for the right hand just as much as its built for the left.
I also happen to have fairly advanced arthritis which previously led me to rely mostly on ergonomic mouse but this almost feels like was built with comfort and ergonomic in mind. Now I can use functionality and quality without sacrificing comfort and ease.
This mouse is also multifunctional. There are several buttons on the sides of the mouse as well that can be programmed to perform various functions. This is one feature I admittedly have not put to complete use due to my personal needs from this mouse but I have to admit, this would make it a breeze for the audience it's intended for- the gamers.
The lighting definitely adds to the aesthetics without a doubt! The mouse lights up with their incorporated designs being visible and highlighted very nicely. The mouse continues to change colors as you use it. It has an auto sensor so when you stop using it for a while, it will self conserve by "shutting down" but gets restarted right when you try to use it again.
Also because it is wireless, there are no snags and pulls and frustrating fights with a wire of course as with my previous ergonomic model. No tagging or pulling and this is even more important for those who have toddlers who are overcurious about everything we use in daily life. No danger of wrapped wires for them, and no annoying fight matches with wires for us!
In addition to the functionality and the breeze of use, the look of this mouse is definitely the most appealing I have used. When lit, the mouse has this incredible space ship/futuristic look which undoubtedly looks beyond cool.
Overall, if you're looking for seemless functionality, wireless, multifunctional, and very comfortable mouse, this is definitely my recommendation, whether or not you need it for gaming needs!
Pros: Lightweight

Great mouse
on September 27, 2019
Posted by: Bcooper81
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this mouse because I loved the idea of a chargeable mouse. I love that I don't need to buy batteries for my mouse because it charges itself. I love that it has a compatible mouse bad that can charge the mouse. I have small hands but the mouse fits nicely in my hands.
Pros: Lightweight

Serious Mouse!
on September 30, 2019
Posted by: movingmatter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not a gamer, and probably are not putting this thing to the true test. That being said, it's a heavy duty mouse with a great feel. Hand rests very nicely on it. Love the full size of it, bigger than other mouses I've used in the past. The wireless aspect of this mouse is really nice. It responds very well. It's the nicest mouse I've owned. Definitely recommend.

Good wireless mouse
on December 19, 2019
Posted by: Rinslette
from Texas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My youngest uses this mouse for gaming on his PC. It's a great mouse. It's a perfect weight for him, and has removable parts that make it adjustable to fit his hand size. It has a great response time and glides flawlessly on the matching mouse pad. It also has held up to the wear and tear tweens can put it through. Overall it's a great wireless gaming mouse for the price point.
Pros: Affordable, Lightweight

Verified Purchase:Yes
Love this wireless mouse; lots of time to use without recharging and love that is programmable because I am left-handed and the rest of my household is right-hand so now I have the ability to program it to meet my needs.
I would recommend this to a friend!
