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

Works as it should.

Very similar to a well known mouse but can not be shipped to my address. This has 8 buttons also. works and feels the same. Also a lot cheaper. Easy to connect and no wire.

My mouse for my Mac quit working and without it I couldn't connect to internet after moving. It was basically a paperweight. I ordered this mouse because it came with the UBS connection port -- which works great. I plugged it in and the mouse immediately connected. The mouse is a bit sporadic. It's either moving really fast, making it difficult to click on small things; or it's super slow, especially when scrolling. I've only had this mouse for a couple hours, but it is clear this is the mouse's features. Overall, not bad for the price. Just a bit difficult to use when clicking on small things, such as the close browser bubbles at the top of pages.

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.

great mouse for the price. you'll want to keep fresh or charged batteries in it. when batteries get weak it starts to mess up. wish had software to check mouse battery levels and not rely on the mouse starting to lag etc... my only complaint is that it is very light feeling, no weight to it.

The mouse does what it's supposed to do. I thought this had a side scroll wheel, it does not but that's not a ding against this mouse as that's my fault for not noticing that before ordering. The big problem for me is the mouse wheel. It does not scroll smoothly and after less than a month of use it now squeaks and squeals when using it. Plus now the resistance in the wheel button is so weak I am constantly accidentally clicking the middle mouse button when I'm just trying to scroll. Quality of this product is lacking.

I recently retired after more than 40 years as a computer systems architect, and I am usually on the computer for many hours at a time - and sometimes more than 24 hours at a stretch. So when my trusty Logitech Performance MX mouse died I wanted a replacement. Now I have large hands and the description on this mouse said it was large, so before spending more than twice the money on another Logitech I decided to try this one. It arrived quickly, and the descriptions are accurate: it is light weight. But that is pretty much irrelevant to me, so after setting it up (popping the usb plug out of the kvm switch is about all it took) I started using it. The "fast scrolling" was a VERY important feature to me, and if you've even scrolled quickly through a 400-page technical document looking for something easy to see at high speed, you'll understand. YES this mouse has a "fast scrolling" button. However, the mouse stop scrolling as soon I stop moving the scrolling wheel with my finger, and that is just not acceptable. (IMHO that's not even fast scrolling. Theoretically if I could move my finger fast enough the "fast scrolling" would be unnecessary.) So I immediately realized I was going to have to return it. But I wanted to see how it performed anyway so I continued to use it for a couple of hours. Below is a listing of the problems which cropped up on those (roughly) two hours. 1) Periodically the mouse would freeze for a second or two and then continue. This was irritating at best. 2) Twice while I was NOT touching the mouse (and no other wireless mice are in use here so it wasn't a conflict with or "bleed-over" from another wireless device) the mouse cursor would suddenly start moving on its own. Both times I was typing and the mouse was resting (unmoving) quietly untouched when it happened. While it didn't actually affect what I was typing, it did bother me and was a pain. 3) Finally the "precision" was a bit off several times. I was editing and could NOT highlight individual characters while editing an equation. I finally managed the same result by deleting and retyping the entire character string, but what should have been a 2-second edit took over a minute from beginning to end. Finally items #1 and #3 above occurred again when I took the KVM switch out of the circuit and plugged the mouse's wireless USB receiver directly into the computer. So it wasn't a KVM/mouse incompatibility issue. Other than the above the mouse seems fairly well built (light, but that doesn't bother me) and I did not find any problems with the button placement, hitting wrong buttons or the thumb button, etc. i I'm also happy to report that (as anticipated - actually as automatically assumed) the mouse works just fine with Linux, although I did not bother to set up the thumb buttons, etc., since I would be returning it. My experience with this mouse was a surprise as the other Amazon products I've used have behaved exactly as advertised/expected. So I'm going to assume that I just got a "randomly malfunctioning" unit and would not say that this is a bad design or poor quality or the like. (FWIW I'll still be buying other Amazon products without any worries that they may malfunction any more than any other brand.) Good luck and if you buy this mouse I hope it works well for you.

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.
