Amazon Basics 2.4 Ghz Wireless Optical Computer Mouse with USB Nano Receiver, Black

I've had some bad luck with off brand mice (Anker, etc...). Thus far I have been presently surprised with this one. Good size / feel. It is small than a typical corded mouse but frankly I've never liked dragging those monsters across the table. My hands are above average size and this mouse is still fine to use. It has an accessible ON/OFF button. I have some with out and some where you had to access the switch inside the battery cover (pretty dumb, no?). Anyway this is right on the bottom and makes it easy to click it off when dropping it into your computer bag. If you want to store the dongle you have to open the battery cover but for me this is no big deal as I do not do it often. The only strange thing about the mouse is that the batteries angle into the unit and there are no clear +/- markings. You can figure out which way the batteries go in by looking at the shape of the terminals but it isn't instantly clear when you first look at it. Connect instantly on my HP laptop. **Edit - The AmazonBasics batteries that come with the mouse are flaming turds. **Edit #2 - Right click button no longer functioning after a few weeks worth of use. Tried on multiple computers.

I really liked this mouse when I got it. It was compact but not micro as I'm a guy and have a guy sized hand. Some of these mice are so tiny but this isn't the case. It's the right size. The nano-receiver is the same way, small enough to fit into the usb but also big enough to remove from the usb unlike a few nano flash drives I have that require tweezers and 30 secs of cursing to get them out. The mouse performed flawlessly when I first got it about 1.5 years ago. Slowly over time, I've noticed the battery life has been speeding up to where every few months I've had to change the batteries where as I believe I went 6 solid months of daily use without changing them or even thinking about them. In the last two weeks however is where the faults have started to show, and please believe me when I say this, trust the other reviews. The nano receiver WILL fail, it's just a matter of when. Mine computer is attached via a bracket to the bottom of my desk slab. The distance between my mouse and the nano receiver is no more than 3 ft at any given time if I'm mousing on the left side of my desk. What has happened is that I pretty much have to keep the mouse directly over the desktop where the nano receiver is plugged in to get it to work. If I now go beyond 2 ft I get sporadic mouse movement & scrolling. Fresh set of batteries, desk has been cleaned (which is what I initially thought was perhaps a dirty lense or the desk) nothing has worked. I've tried moving the nano receiver to the front usb ports to ease the problems, nope, still there. While only around $10, it's not a huge loss but having not abused this mouse in any way I'm very disappointed in the build quality and will never be purchasing another amazon basics electronic device again. There are many, many other options out there cheaper and slightly more expensive by $1-2 than this mouse that don't have these repetitive problems over and over again. What I think Amazon should do is step up and mail every one of us with a defective receiver a new version.

I first purchased this AmazonBasics Wireless Mouse a year and a half ago. The mouse is great, but the nano receiver it terrible. I have had to have this mouse replace three times because the nano receiver failed and the the third one just failed as well. I can get the mouse to work if I jiggle the nano receiver a bit, but I can't keep it working once I let go. The first one I had lasted about a year, the second one lasted about three months and my third one failed after a month. Not really sure what is going on with these. I'm not hard on my stuff, so I don't know why these are not standing up. The mouse is otherwise a good design. It's a little smaller than a typical mouse, which is great for travel and smaller working spaces. Up until each receiver failed, they mice were really responsive, the click wheel was good and the amount of pressure it took to click was perfect. I love the mouse, just wish i could actually use it.

The on off switch is tiny and extremely difficult to slide on or off. The mouse itself is also small, designed for fairly small hands. The unit I received did not work at all. When I put the batteries in, a very faint red light comes on and then goes out. I tried multiple batteries which I confirmed were good by testing in another device. The manual does not indicate what color the light should be for correct operation but I have another mouse that shines green when the battery in good shape and yellow when the battery is depleted.

El ratón inalámbrico de Amazon Basics me ha sorprendido muy positivamente. A nivel estético, es bonito y discreto, con un diseño que da buena impresión desde el primer momento. La conexión es rápida y automática, sin fallos ni interrupciones, lo cual se agradece muchísimo. En cuanto al tamaño, es perfecto: ni demasiado grande ni pequeño, y además tiene una ligera forma anatómica que hace que encaje muy bien en la mano. Los clics de los botones son suaves y silenciosos, con una sensación agradable al presionarlos. La ruedecita también se desliza con suavidad y responde bien, lo que hace que el uso diario sea cómodo. Lo único que me ha resultado curioso es el botón de encendido y apagado, ya que en otros modelos que he tenido, para encender había que subir la palanquita, y en este es al revés: se enciende bajándola. No es un defecto, solo una cuestión de costumbre. En resumen, un ratón cómodo, funcional y con buena relación calidad-precio, ideal para quienes buscan algo sencillo que funcione bien sin complicaciones.

great price and works perfect

Buon prodotto, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

Bought this mouse a little over 2 weeks ago. Arrived in like 2 days. Opened it up, put the micro USB in my Win 11 laptop, my laptop didn't do anything. Made sure the mouse was turned off, put the batteries in the mouse and turned it on. No reaction from the laptop but the laser light was on on the mouse. Tried to move it and it was all good, the mouse worked like a charm. I'm assuming the software it installs is so little and or it installed so fast the laptop didn't need to show any install meter. The supplied batteries lasted two weeks and I had to replace them. No worries on that front, can't imagine they'd ship with good batteries. For the price I'm surprised it even came with batteries at all. So far very happy with the mouse. It works flawlessly, nice and smooth mouse movement and wheel movement as well. Very happy with the mouse. If it keeps working as is, it's a killer buy and so far I'd buy another one if it stays working for a good while. I put a pen next to the mouse in the pic for a idea of size.

Very good mouse for my laptop, lightweight, easy to set up, good grip, functional, really fast really worth money
