WOW LOVE IT! (2020 Updated Review)
Loads to say about this. I actually bought a bunch of mice to test and I preferred this one out of them all - and this is the cheapest one!!Positives!Has a DPI setting - for those who don't know what this means and don't game (like myself), this is your sensitivity button. Like I switch from mac and PC constantly, and you'll notice yourself changing the sensitivity based on how fast / slow you want the cursor... this is awesome to have it on the mouse itself! No more faffing with software on the pc!It has a power saving mode.. turns off after a while so you can forget about it and use it without the batteries dying!! I always forgot before this to turn mice off with that annoying little switch I had to get my non existing finger nail to move up and down!! All you have to do to turn it on is click once and it's on again! simples!There's buttons on the sides of it, and this was one of the reasons I was put off by it, but actually they are out of the way so my annoying thumb doesn't catch it!! (the buttons don't work on mac anyway).The style doesn't hurt my hand after long uses.. and I mean long uses.. I'm a YouTuber so I'm editing on my mac for 8 hours straight!Battery is never changed because of how good it is for power management, but at least if your battery decides to pack up you can manually replace it.. don't like these new do-dads that have built in batteries because you can't replace them when they decide to fail!!! companies are more money driven than ever!!Negatives....Doesn't work on glossy surfaces like my standard glossed table, you have to use this on a matte or roughed surface.THATS IT.Can't believe this was the cheapest mouse and is the best. Love it so much!!++UPDATE FEB 2019++Unfortunately, this product started having some issues around 4-5 months - mouse cursor would stick on screen. Contacted Bluetree when I got fed up with it and they gave me some troubleshooting steps to work on the issue. After a few days of trying these steps, the issues still remained so they sent out a replacement. Because I'm now unsure what the issue was I'll be keeping this review updated to see how the replacement gets on.Thank you to Bluetree and their wonderful customer support though (don't see enough of these good customer service companies, so they should be mentioned and appreciated!).++UPDATE September 2019++Working fine so far!++UPDATE May 2020++Working fine still! :) very happy with this mouse. Fully recommended it! I'm buying another!

Really impressed with this gaming mouse!
Pleasantly surprised at the build quality, all the buttons and scrolls wheel feel durable and have a satisfying click to them. The battery compartment location also creates a good weight balance when batteries are in place (Batteries aren't included in the box) The battery compartment door fits securely and it houses the wireless dongle which is ideal for travel purposes.The mouse works on a plug and play basis, simply plug the dongle into a spare USB port, put 2x AA batteries inside the mouse and turn the power slider on located on the underside of the mouse. Within 5 seconds drivers will automatically be installed and the mouse will work. A few things i really like about the mouse are that it has a DPI button so you can increase/decrease the sensitivity on the fly and that it has two dedicated buttons on the side for gaming. Oh yes, you read that right.... this is a fully capable wireless gaming mouse, just without the bells and whistles such as RGB lighting etc.I also like the energy saving features, so after several seconds if inaction it instantly drops to a semi-low power state, don't worry though as it instantly responds should you move or click the mouse (seriously you wouldn't know) It has has a sleep mode where by the mouse goes into hibernation if inactive after several minutes, simply double clicking the mouse will instantly wake it up with zero lag. It's worth noting that the mouse is shaped for a right handed person.Other things worth noting are that it has a grippy thumb rest, the top is glossy smooth and there is a low battery warning LED on the top which also doubles as the DPI indicator.VERDICT: For the money i love this mouse, it is well constructed and glad i went for a wireless one in the end (the lack of wires and claimed 12 months of battery life are a big winner for me). It does make me question how some companies can charge 10x as much for mice that don't do much else. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Both failed after just 14 - 16 months
This is my second Teknet mouse that has suddenly stopped working in less than 2 years. At first, I just presumed the batteries needed replacing, but even with fresh batteries it still won't turn on. When my first mouse died, I presumed I was just unlucky, but now my second has also died (and a newer model), it makes me think this could be planned obsolescence!The mouse has good precision and a nice feel although the new model is clunkier. The new model takes 2AA batteries, but interestingly the old model lasted twice as long between charges on just one battery. Although the battery life is still fairly good, the new model is worse. As they both failed in 14 - 16 months, I can't get my money back. They are quite cheap, so I could just by another, but that is creating yet more unnecessary plastic/electrical waste.To prevent waste and help the environment, I would recommend buying a more reliable product.

A fantastic and well-priced little mouse
Easy to use and a good low price.Purchased this mouse as a replacement for my old mouse which was wired and getting a bit tired.It arrived in great time and was well packaged. I unboxed the mouse, plugged in the USB adaptor, one battery needed and I was ready to go. The mouse has so far worked succinctly and the adjustment for speeds is very useful.A very high quality product for a very low price.- - - -If you thought this review was helpful please hit the LIKE button - - - -
