5 Total Years!! Works Like a Gem! Cheap, Reliable, Fast. | In-depth Review | Rami Taha

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2021

Quality Rating: 4/5
Based on price: 5/5
Time with Product: 5 years (purchased in 2016)

Review:
I've had this mouse for over 5 years now and considering the price point I would have honestly expected the product to break down and no longer function anymore. Needless to say, I was wrong. This product is extremely durable, beautiful ergonomically, and lasts for a very long time. This mouse has yet to fail on me once.

To whom is this product most suitable?
1. Anyone looking for a handy back-up bluetooth mouse in case their main/primary mouse was to fail.
2. Anyone looking for a cheap mouse to carry around (maybe for travel purposes).
3. Anyone looking for a reliable, consistent, and fast desk mouse for work, surfing the web, or any simple tasks on the computer.

This product is NOT suitable for:
1. Gamers (it's not precise enough, heavy, and poor in response-time and ergonomic design).
2. Professional video editors (again, its the response time and the lack of precision in the sensor).
3. Any heavy-task/quick paced, action.

Ultimately, I purchased this mouse because I needed a replacement for a laptop that had a bad trackpad.
I've searched the web with it, done normal and simple tasks, written essays, and done school work.

Currently, this remains in my closet as a temporary replacement should my main mouse fail and I need one until another mouse or the original gets fixed. (I use another mouse because I require sensor precision for my film production editing, photoshop, and music mixing & mastering.

I hope my review makes sense and helps you decide whether or not you would like to purchase this device.

Have fun shopping! :)

Great and Worth the Price (Updated)

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2017

Going to echo what most people have said and say that this is a really solid product, tracking is great, no noticable lag, dig the ambidextrous design. It feels great in my hand, and if I ever need to replace this I wouldnt mind purchasing this model again

Edit: After use for a while, I've already dropped it a dozen times due to my small and cramped desk, and it still works perfectly fine. The little node is a little small and difficult to remove from its port, but is also very convenient for not taking up much space whatsoever. I will be getting a new wired mouse, however, because of the lag that is inherent in wireless devices. (BIG NOTE FOR GAMERS: I bought this to use while gaming on an FPS, and it took me a while to discover the lag time in my movements. While very, very minuscule, it makes a world of difference in an FPS, or a similar game where quick movements are necessary. This is likely obvious for most gamers, but wireless mouses as a whole should be ignored for gaming.) If you are looking for a cheap and shockingly reliable product for general use, I cannot recommend this product enough. The warranty is also appreciated, although maybe unnecessary due to the mouse's low price.

HP x3000 2.4ghz dongle-based wireless mouse is priceless, at $8.45

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

5 Star based on current $8.45 selling price.

Doesn't have "soft side rubber" grip panels as described - just plastic, but nicely dimpled.

Uses a AA battery, the easiest to find while traveling. (Some use one, or even two, AAA's which is a more expensive and harder to find alternative.)

Pairs easily; I'm using it in tandem with a a Logitech TV keyboard (K400 Plus with built-in touchpad) which also runs off a 2.4gHz dongle - there isn't any interference between the two.

The Logitech keyboard plus this HP x3000 mouse are currently paired with an Asus Chromebit which is "ChromeOS (or, Chromebook operating system) on a stick" and the setup works fine - I was worried ChromeOS wouldn't be able to pair with two different pointing devices from two different companies with two different dongles, but it did. As for Win8/10 - the packaging says works with Win10 so I trust it does.

One compatibility caveat: ChromeOS Beta 50 version, the most current version as of my review date, has NO granular controls for mouse performance on desktop ChromeOS (peachy keen controls on actual Chromebooks, abysmal on ChromeOS desktop devices). This means scrolling with the scroll wheel isn't as fast as I'd like, but cursor movement is a little speeded up since this is a 1600 dpi mouse (a lower rez mouse would probably move the cursor more slowly).

AT $8.45 A SCREAMING BARGAIN IF YOU WANT A MOUSE FOR EASY USE WITH A TABLET OR LAPTOP.

The top reviewer for this product said his (2013) version is chintzy; so is my version (even though I suspect the product is slightly different since it is no longer soft-touch on the sides). Not on the top - the scroll wheel is fine, the clicking smooth (and quiet, unlike his - it's quieter than my Logitech mice). But underneath - compared to my Logitech sub-$30 wireless mice, the underside looks like a $5 no-name, shipped from overseas, disaster. Doesn't affect use, but not confidence inspiring.

Mice don't seem to come in very standard sizes anymore. I am attaching a photo of three other mice. This one is middle sized, front to back and left to right, but taller than most other mice.

IN THE ATTACHED PICTURE, left to right:
Microsoft basic corded mouse; this HP; Logitech travel/mini mouse M187; generic wireless mouse from Dell that came with my desktop (but says "Logitech" underneath).

I've had it for 6 years and it still works great

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024

I bought this mouse for an older PC to avoid having too many wires and it still works great. The little USB has great reception. I usually have it about 3 or 4 feet away from me because I use it as a gaming PC that connects to my TV now and it's only disconnected a few times. Even then, it's immediately back when I click it so it's more like the reception just glitches.

It's really lightweight and takes AAA batteries, which would be the only downside since it can't be charged but I bought rechargeable batteries. This mouse has been moved around with me from city to city and hot weather to cold, in storage that wasn't insulated, and it's still going.

Just buy it

You never know how much you really need your mouse until something goes wrong with it. Not when it breaks completely, then you just move on and buy another one end of story. But when you have one that slowly stops some of it's functions, then starts back again, then stops again, you keep thinking if you shake it or pull the USB thingy out and re-insert it everything will be fine, and maybe it is for a while and then it is not. My mouse quit scrolling, I would scroll down, it would go down then up, then maybe down again depending on it's mood, but never to where I wanted it. I tried scrolling up thinking I could outsmart it, nope same response. I ordered this one from Amazon and after the proper burial ceremony of the last mouse I plugged it in and it worked perfect. It scrolls, it right clicks, it left clicks, there are even some buttons on the side I have no idea what they are for but the thing is, it works and it even has a handy dandy storage space for the USB thingy next to the batteries, but good luck getting that cover off without a knife, nail file or an act of god, It is a mouse, it works. I read thru other reviews to try and figure out what makes a good mouse other than it works, battery consumption, not sure, I turn mine off when I am not using it. Size, same size as all the other mice I have had (is mice the correct word for plural mouse when you are talking about electronic mice or should it be mouses?) The thing is,when it comes to a mouse, if I don't have to think about it and wonder if it will work, it is a good mouse, just buy it.

Excellent Quality & no more wires!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2015

I absolutely LOVE my wireless mouse! I just moved and my computer became obsolete. So a few months ago I bought a gently used HP laptop. I couldn't be happier with my new laptop, however, I'm used to using a keyboard & mouse and found it difficult to use the little finger pad as a mouse. I was all over the place!

So, since I'm a loyal Amazon shopper, I checked out all the possibilities and finally decided on this wireless mouse. I am so glad I did! I love it! It's incredibly easy to use and there is no software to download. I simply put the little USB reader in my laptop and it recognized it immediately. The mouse itself uses 2 AA Batteries. I believe it's considered "nano" since it's kind've small, but it fits my small lady hands perfectly! It has a really nice grip on either side and is a fully functional mouse, just minus the cord which is awesome! My favorite feature is the little switch on the bottom of the mouse that turns it on and off so I'm not wasting the battery when it's not in use. Plus it was priced within my budget so that made me very happy. After using it for the last 2 months, I would honestly have to say, I'd be lost without it!

Perfect little mouse

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2016

I liked this mouse so much that I bought another identical one. I originally bought one about 6 months ago and I loved it. I offered my original one to my friend who needed a mouse after her touchpad broke and so I immediately bought the same one for myself again. It's never given me any problems, it's compact and reliable and and it's durable. I can speak to this since I have a tendency to drop it on the floor pretty often and it hasn't broken yet! Not that I recommend throwing it around or anything but it's good to know that it doesn't shatter into pieces. Prior to this mouse, I had tried a few other "no name brands", going the cheaper route but they didn't last long. I've been nothing but pleased with this mouse and it's lasted me awhile now with no signs of slowing down. It feels nice and comfortable in my hand. The price is right and it even comes with the necessary battery! I would absolutely recommend this mouse to anyone.

Good distance with clear Tx placement

Got this to manipulate video security feed on remote smart TV (image via rf HDMI, NVR image controller by mouse.) Found that a totally clear placement of the little transmitter (probably Not on the back of the NVR, but hanging closer to the ceiling on a USB male-female adapter cord) let's the signal go about 40ft through a few walls (or several right turns), may go even farther. Other brands recommended by NVR mfr did Not work, as another model from this brand did not, ymmv. However, this model is Capable of quite some distance.

Great Mouse, Lacks Auto-Off

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've had this mouse for a few weeks now, and overall it is a joy to use. For the price is is absolutely worth the money, and I would purchase it again. One of my main concerns when buying this mouse is that it looked too small. I am rather tall guy with big hands, so a small mouse is unappealing to me. After this mouse came in I did not find that to be a problem. It has the footprint roughly similar to a credit card, and should fit nicely in hands large and small. Overall I have nothing but good things to say about this mouse, but there are one or two drawbacks.

Pros:
-Good size, fits nicely even with large hands.
-Long battery life, can last more than a year.
-Battery included.
-Great price.
-Has a storage slot inside the mouse for holding the receiver on the go.

Cons:
-Lacks an automatic turn off function if the mouse is idling for too long. This is the reason for the 4-star review. For power saving functions this is a must have if you drop this mouse in your backpack and forget to turn it off.
-The clicking sound is louder than a normal mouse. No gaming in the library with this thing.

Pros/Cons Depending on Personal Opinion:
-The mouse speed is rather fast compared to other mice I have used. I am not sure of a way to change this, but I have gotten used to it and now prefer the faster speed.

Overall, a great mouse for the price. Just last the automatic turn off function which is greatly needed.
