I’ve used this for a long time and never had a problem with it. It’s durable, easy to to use and the extra buttons on the side can be useful for going forward and back between pages as long as you don’t accidentally click i
I was struggling with the track pad on my laptop using Fusion. This mouse with scroll wheel and without a trailing cable was a game changer. The usb dongle is conveniently stored within the battery housing when not in use. An excellent well thought out product at a reasonable price
Love the ease of using this mouse anywhere you like. My previous mouse would only work on certain surfaces, but being used for a CCTV NVR which is in the living room, I needed a mouse that would work on my leather sofa, my jeans or on my laminate floor, this works on everything that I have tried so far.
The added function of being able to control the cursor speed via a button on the mouse is ingenious, no need to go into the software to make adjustments.
I can highly recommend this mouse.
This item has a built in on-off switch so when packing away you are not using battery power. If using the keyboard for a few minutes the mouse goes on stand by saving power. it is comfortable to use with extra buttons on the left face, the forward button is to go 1 screen forward, the rear button is to go 1 screen back. Behind the scroll wheel is a button which controls the speed of the cursor. The sender unit is inserted and only protrudes approx. .5mm (a half centimetre) so can safely be left in. This is quite a bundle of tricks for a budget range of mouse and so far, has performed perfectly.
Product is great. My wife ordered one several years ago. It gets 4 instead of 5 stars because it took me a while to notice the small text on the back of the box stating that the USB transmitter would be found in the battery compartment. I initially thought it was missing.
Very pleased with the Teknet Mouse. Build quality is very nice, and although I was looking for a mouse with a rechargeable in-built battery, putting 2x AA rechargeable batteries in this mouse gives it a nice weighted feeling. Some mice can be too light, even by gaming standards. The mouse clicks (right and left) are smooth and silent. The wheel is responsive and nice to use. The addition of the the side buttons for back & forward are a very welcome feature, and overall the mouse is nice and comfortable in the hand with its ergonomic design. Surprisingly, the mouse had more Dpi settings that I first thought, with 6 in total. And all 6 steps will definitely cater for any use cases, and connectivity is instant as soon as the supplied dongle is popped into your laptop/PC. Highly recommend.
I brought this and did not know it was designed for a man, as it is very big for my woman small hands and I was unable to use this and it is still in its box, I just the same Amazon basics mouse them are brilliant.
Works fine, and although it has a little switch, you don’t have to remember to turn it off as it turns itself off to save battery.
I still lost it though…
The wireless mouse was really good with no trailing length of wires everywhere took a bit of getting used too but pleased with it especially as it came in different colours so I could pick my favourite purple and I got a blue one for my husband .
I had problems getting this mouse to work with rechargeable batteries and came across this comment on another website. The fix worked for me.
“…the problem with some NiMh batteries is that it won’t work, real culprit is the positive end of the NiMh rechargeable batteries they are shorter compared to normal batteries and cannot make the contact with the positive side of the mouse battery space. All you can do is make a tiny fold of aluminium foil just about 1mm and place it over the positive side the the mouse and then install the NiMh batteries and Voila!! “
This mouse is very comfortable to use.. I haven’t rated for gaming as I do not use it for this. I use it on my laptop mainly for word and excel and editing photographs. I did have a problem with the mouse after a few months whereby it was very slow to connect to the laptop. I contacted the suppliers Tecknet who made suggestions as to how to resolve this, keeping in touch with me as to the results. Unfortunately nothing worked so they very quickly sent me a replacement which is absolutely fine. They were so supportive over what is actually a a fairly low value item. I was amazed to receive such caring service, very rare these days, particularly buying on line. I don’t hesitate to recommend them them.
I bought this mouse as it was one of the biggest mice I could find at a low price range, as I have fairly big hands and it feels great to control and is comfortable for long periods of time so is everything I really look for in a mouse. The extra buttons on the side and the centre make it particularly suited for gaming and my only complaint would be that the mouse goes to sleep a little too quickly after not using it.
Bought my first one 3 years ago for work because I did not like the mouse used by the comany. I have used it 40+h a week, it has been through war. Now it got a bit slow, so I decided it was time for it to enjoy retirement. It’s well earned. So I got the purple one. I love it, it’s perfect just like my old one. Very comfortable, very reliable, long batery life, fast and good price. I am very pleased with it.
My last 2 Tecknet mice had started to fail after numerous beer/tea/water spillages and the scroll wheel started to become unreliable. I wanted to replace both (my work mouse and my gaming PC mouse), and given my budget doesn’t allow for 50+ Logitech mice, I decided to get 2 more Tecknet ones.
They are genuinely superb – forward/back buttons are well placed and work nicely (which does come in handy in web browsers). Scroll wheel, wheel click and left/right clicks feel positive and mouse movement is excellent.
Really pleased I replaced like-for-like (and saved myself a small fortune in the process). Would not hesitate in recommending them for work or light gaming
My receiver was missing, and the customer support was amazing. They were super pilot and fast and sent me a whole new mouse for free within days. Very good mouse and the best customer service I’ve had in a long time.
Great mouse does everything it should and feels comfortable.
It is not a silent mouse so does have that annoying click, which I missed in the product description, but other than that in the few weeks I have been using it, it has been fine.
Loved this mouse and I have essential tremor and arthritis, it is difficult to find a mouse that is easy to use. So comfortable but unfortunately it was faulty. Contacted seller who was so helpful and friendly can not praise them more highly.
Bought this as a quick replacement for my previous mouse which developed a “No click” attitude. This is a lovely replacement and is very comfortable to use. For a cheep replacement this mouse has some added bonuses like the thumb mounted “Back/Forward” function and responsivness adjustment butto
This mouse was purchased to replace my then current wireless mouse which had suddenly died. this new TECKNET mouse [which came next day] is very sensitive but great to use. Comfortable and fits my hand well. I would certainly buy again and highly recommend it.
up there with the top mouse’s I’ve had over the years, so all good so far the guarantee is a plus too , deffo value and hopefully lasts the time batteries aswell.
I had one before and it eventually gave up after many years of use.
So I brought another but in purple.
It’s great design, lightweight and comfortable to use.
I love the grip design on the sides.
I use it for long hours of the day for part of my job as payroll.
Would definitely recommend.
I purchased this mouse due to my previous one not always connecting however I had it ten years so what do you expect. Anyway, had a look on Amazon and was faced with loads to choose from which can be a bit mind boggling. After a little research and looking at other people’s reviews I settled on this one. I ordered 11pm last night and it arrived by 10am the next morning. What can I say, I am very happy with this mouse. It feels well made, solid and easy to use. Literally plug in the USB thingy, turn the button on which is on the underside and your’e good to go. It’s easy to use, glides smoothly. I can easily and happily recommend this mouse to anyone in the market looking for a mouse.
Old mouse developed a loud squeak on the scroll wheel. Replacement required and this is just the job. Very comfortable to hold and use with plenty of speed adjustment. Good value.
This is my third TECKNET 2.4G mouse ordered from Amazon.co.uk (first bought in 2016). The left-click button on the TECKNET mice I’ve bought start failing / misbehaving at around 26 months (or it gives up the ghost completely) and then you’ll find bizarre events occurring within windows.
The battery life of this mouse is solid, and a single set of batteries seems to last anywhere between 10 months to 12 months, which I’m very happy about.
The mouse is very comfortable, even in my man hands. However, if you use the mouse a lot and or suffer with repetitive injury issues I recommend wearing a soft padded wrist band on your mouse hand so your wrist is slightly elevate and cushioned where it makes contact with the table surface when you are holding the mouse.
These are very good value mice. My Microsoft and Logitech mice before this lasted only around 11 and 13 months respectively, before the left-click buttons totally failed. I am a moderate user so I consider this mouse to be very reliable, and good value. It’s gone up a 1 since I bought it last but that is to be expected.
If you weight up the time these mice last and the overall cost it works out that these mice cost around 3.99 per year. I can live with that. Although (and this applies to ALL mice manufacturers) there is no reason I can see why the click buttons couldn’t be user replaceable…and the mice should come with spares (along with the feet pads). If these mice were user serviceable even in this basic way they’d last a very long time (before the plastic button wore away from your finger clicking it) and the landfill waste be reduced significantly. Just a thought.
It felt good in the hand but the wheel for scrolling didn’t feel very smooth in use. I don’t think it is faulty. It may be just the ridges on the wheel itself that give this effect. I think a smooth finish on the wheel would feel better.
Old mouse died, ordered this one 11:00 am. delivered and installed by 7:00pm. Nice. I have used Tecknet products before and found them good value and straightforward to use. Not given many stars for gaming as I don’t game and not much for ‘sleep’ cos I am still awake!. Nice mouse.
Replaced my old Logitech MX Performance with this one. Before that I had MK710 to which this mouse is very similar. Cursor doesn’t move as smooth as on both Logitech mouse’s, despite all kind of adjustments. On Logitech mouse sleep mode is deactivated by just moving mouse, on this you need to click a button to wake it up, and that button is actually pressed and as my screen is also on sleep, I don’t see where the cursor is and never know what I gonna click on.
My previous mouse was a low-profile wireless mouse that had started to become rather random in its actions. It didn’t quite break down; it just seemed to develop a mind of its own, doing what it wanted to do instead of what I wanted it to do. I guess it was the mouse equivalence of senility.
Unfortunately, when trying to find a new replacement mouse, I quickly discovered that there is a bewildering choice of alternatives out there. It really is daunting trying to find a model that suits your needs and budget, and also one that’s reliable and well-made.
I wasted the best part of an hour just trawling through mouse after mouse on the Amazon website. Eventually, I narrowed it down to three different makes and models. From that point on, the choice was relatively easy. Two of the mice I had shortlisted cost in excess of 60. That was way beyond my budget. That left this Tecknet mouse as the sole survivor of the selection process. I was tempted to spend a little more time to re-evaluate my decision, but by that time I was sorely fed up of using the trackpad on my laptop. And anyway, it only cost around 10. If the worst came to the worst and this Tecknet mouse turned out to be a proper turkey, I could always think again about spending perhaps a bit more on a ‘decent’ mouse. So, without further ado, I pressed the ‘BUY NOW’ button. And held my breath. And kept my fingers crossed.
It arrived the next day. Packaging? Nothing flamboyant. Just effective, functional, strong packaging. There was a handy fold-out instruction leaflet that was written in very good English and that was actually quite comprehensive. Impressive. And there was also a little card inviting me to register the product a.s.a.p. to benefit from a full 3-year warranty. Again, impressive.
The mouse takes 2 AA batteries, although none were included. This wasn’t really a problem – I’d rather select my own batteries and install them myself than have a dubious make of battery pre-installed. Inside the battery cover on the underside of the mouse is where the tiny transmitter/receiver lives whilst in storage. It’s pretty much standard in size, and plugs in and plays without any fuss whatsoever.
In use, the mouse is absolutely fine. It works, and it does everything it’s supposed to do. Size-wise, the mouse fills the palm of my hand nicely – I thought initially that it was quite a large mouse compared to my last one, but now that I’ve used it for a few days, it’s really comfortable. If I rest my hand on it, the entire body of the mouse touches all of the palm of my hand – my last mouse was quite shallow by comparison, so that it was only the tips of my fingers that touched the mouse – here, you really feel that the mouse is totally within your control. In short, the mouse is quite ‘humpy’ or ‘domed’ – I know this isn’t exactly techno-speak, but hopefully it conveys how ergonomic it is.
One of the things I really like about the mouse is the degree to which it slopes to the side – the top surface is not parallel to the mousepad, it’s got a pronounced curve so that it can sit nicely inside your palm. This makes it feel natural and much easier to grip naturally without having to bend your wrist into an uncomfortable shape. It’s really nice in use.
The materials it’s made from appear fine – the two main finger areas on the top of the mouse for normal right and left clicking are made from a lightly textured plastic – thankfully not shiny plastic. They work well, although the click it makes when selecting right or left click is louder than any previous mouse I’ve owned. It’s not deafening, but it’s certainly not good if you’re trying to work quietly. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest – the best way I have of describing it would be to call it a reassuringly positive click.
The thumb-rest on the left hand side of the mouse has a greater degree of texture to it than the top of the mouse, which is a small but still significant point. It all combines to give a really good sense of grip when holding the mouse.
The top scroll-wheel is nicely weighted and has a ridged surface on it for better grip. There is no free-play at all on the scroll-wheel – this is a very big plus in my book. It’s a sign of decent design and engineering. There are also two additional ‘thumb’ buttons (click-type) on the left side of the mouse – these are for forward and back movements, and they seem to work fine.
The underside of the mouse reveals the large-ish sliding cover for the batteries. Personally, I would have preferred a more secure clip to keep this lid in place; it’s almost as if Tecknet have decided to cut a few corners here, as the tolerances on the underside don’t quite match up to the rest of the mouse design. It’s not a major problem; the battery compartment opens and closes OK. The lid and catch just doesn’t seem as well finished as the rest. But I suppose that in order to keep costs to a minimum, compromises have had to be made.
The ON/OFF switch is also on the underside of the mouse. It’s of a sliding type, and although it’s quite small, it seems to work well enough.
I haven’t tried to alter the DPI on the mouse. I used it straight out of the box and it seems perfectly fine at whatever setting has been preset. Most of my work is in photo-manipulation, (Photoshop and other software) and the mouse is absolutely fine for this. It’s accurate the way it is and I really don’t see any real need to delve into other DPI settings.
I always switch the mouse off when I’m away from my laptop, so I have no idea if there is an AUTO-OFF setting that kicks in. I think there is, but personally I don’t really see the need for it.
Overall, this has turned out to be a pleasant surprise, and it’s of a far better standard than I expected for 10. It’s pleasant in use and does the business without any real fuss. Perhaps the best compliment I can give it is to say that after a while of using it continuously, I forget it’s there. It just seamlessly merges into the palm of my hand. All in all, this is an excellent mouse, and an exceptional bargain.
I hope you’ve found this brief review to be useful.
The size and shape of this mouse is great but unfortunately it has 2 unnecessary buttons on the left side which are impossible to avoid every time you try to hold the mouse so they keep getting clicked and keep moving your work steps back and forth. Very annoying.
Let’s put this into perspective before I review. I own a mouse which cost over 80 and now this at around 12. They are not going to be the same.
If you want an extremely sturdy mouse which is going to be used daily for design and gaming over they few years look to spend more. If you want something, that works, is comfortable, quick enough and you are going to throw it in your laptop bag, You won’t go far wrong with this mouse. The red colour we got make’s it look cool. It’s nice to hold with a good button selection and is plug and play. It works straight out the box. Would I buy again, YES. You can buy better, but not at this price.
The mouse feels nice in the hand and battery life has been very good.
Having had this for while with significant daily use, it has recently developed an issue of wheel bounce. Where the pages you are scrolling via the wheel seem to jump back up at times. Apparently some mice develop this issue. The mouse is still useable, but I’m starting to get irritated with the wheel.
Overall, I’m not disappointed with my purchase.
Good quality mouse with side buttons for page forwards/backwards.
Good firm to purchase from.
Edit: After seeing the review the company offered to send me a new mouse. Great customer service!
Bought the mouse over a year ago. Worked well until now. It doesn’t respond to clicks or movement. Tried changing the batteries but still the same issue. Tried unplugging and replugging the reciever but still doesn’t work.
Bought as a replacement for my old mouse which died after 2 year’s faithful service. This is much nicer to use as it is sculpted to fit my right hand nicely and my palm can rest on the top of it whilst in use. Quiet clicker and smooth scroll wheel. Handy that you can alter the cursor speed to your liking using the DPI button. Like the blue colour as change from all black.
The wheel is a little stiff but I suppose it will loosen up in time. Overall, I am happy with it.
I’ve brought it as a back up of the same make as I keep falling asleep and dropping it,
Each time when I picked it off the floor I’m surprised to see it still works.
It certainly is rugged but just in case it does break I have another one
I did not expect much for the price but it exceeded my expectations. Great quality, one of the many best buys on Amazon. I hope it will last for a long time. I use this mouse for the office, I don’t do gaming. I needed a gaming mouse for the quick forward and back buttons, and also for the quick customized DPI speed button. Happy with the purchase and I recommend it to others. Thanks, Tecknet and Amazon. 🙂
Love this mouse. Actually I wish others were built to the same quality. So far the very best mouse I have ever bought. Definitely not the cheapest, or the most expensive, but really the best so far. Not sure how many mouses I have used over the years, perhaps 60 ish. This is the best so far. I will be buying another, but this time the company can pay.
I got this item on a same day delivery and I’m really pleased with it. It’s light yet robust, the buttons are responsive and I particularly like the ease of changing the dpi, which is good for photo editing. All this at a great price.
I did not have any thing to complain about, it is still working flawlessly, I guess other people had problems I never had. Otherwise I don’t understand their ratings. If you get a faulty one you can return it on Amazon, but mine is great, nice hand feel etc. Glad I bought it.
EDIT: Wonderful customer service. I was contacted by a member of the Tecknet customer service team who sought to find a way to make up for the issue I’d had with the mouse. Now that I know how much the company cares, I would consider buying something else from them in the future.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought this mouse primarily for gaming, though I also used it for daily personal laptop use.
Bought late Nov. 22, Now April 23… the buttons are already sticky and not working. This mouse replaced a cheap logitech I used for 5 years, this mouse didn’t even last 5 months.
Another major design flaw is the buttons on the left side of the mouse that act as forward and back buttons for internet browsers – I’ve accidentally pressed this when half-way through a film or TV show so many times, which annoyingly takes you back to the previous menu. There should be a way to lock or turn these buttons off, but there isn’t.
Good mouse for the price. Loud click but mitigated by being cheap. However, I registered warranty and since have been no bared with what can fairly be called spam emails despite attempts to opt out. Rather shameful. Would not recommend
Update: revised to 4 as customer support was good in response to my issue. Would now recommend
EDIT – increased to 4 stars because customer service offered me a voucher for the inconvenience of the mouse stopping working.
Worked really well to begin with. Not a huge battery life. But recently I changed the batteries again to some brand new Duracells, and the mouse has stopped working. Red light flashes once, then it doesn’t come on again, and it’s not connecting to the computer anymore.
Shame, as I have gone back to my old one (the 2013 version of this exact same mouse!) which is still working brilliantly (just a bit old and tired looking). What happened Tecknet?! Disappointed in this purchase.
This is a pretty good mouse! Been using it with my laptop for a few years for my university work and some light gaming. Hasn’t given me any real issue in the time I’ve used it, comfortable shape and weight, nice long battery life. It’s not a godsend to computer mice, and I often find myself accidentally clicking the side “page back” button when I don’t mean to due to its placement, which is annoying, but I’m still happy with it and I’d say it’s worth the price 🙂
In terms of usability, ergonomics and general feel this is a good mouse. Batteries last a very long time which is also great. The scroll wheel works precisely and quietly.
Unfortunately, the mouse went into permanent sleep mode (as in stopped working altogether) after only 8 month. If you can afford to buy a new one in regular intervals, this is good. If not, just be aware.
A good mouse with a much too short life span.
UPDATE: I have revised my review from 2 stars to 4 stars for the outstanding customer service I received. The mouse has been replaced after a short email exchange to verify what was wrong with the mouse.
Would easily give the mouse 5 stars if it hadn’t stopped working in the first place.
With the customer service received, this will be the mouse I would recommend for anyone wanting good value for money.
