TECKNET Bluetooth Mouse, 3200DPI Wireless, Cordless Mice Ergonomic Portable for Laptop PC Computer 24 Month Battery Life With Indicator, 3200/2400/2000/1600/1200/800 DPI, Grey, Red

This is not the cheapest or (by a long shot) the most expensive wireless mouse, but I think it is very good value. It arrived quickly in frustration free packaging that was easy to open. The mouse is wrapped in bubble wrap in the cardboard box and that does make it easy to access. Apart from the mouse you get an instruction leaflet with basic information in several languages and a warranty card (24 months, which is good to see). This is Bluetooth only, so no usb dongle to plug in (main reason I bought it, since don’t want to tie up USB ports). Two AA batteries inserted (I used NiMH, which work fine) then turn it on and press the bind button while the laptop was searching for new devices. The laptop found it almost immediately and the mouse was ready to use in seconds. The mouse feels solidly made with quiet buttons that need little pressure and a really responsive scroll wheel. As others have mentioned, the mouse is quite heavy with the two AA batteries, but this is no bad thing and it sits nicely in the hand, so still easy to move on the glide pads. The surface of the mouse feels smooth but not like cheap plastic. Early days, but so far it works perfectly. I leave it powered up and it goes to sleep between uses. Just press a button and it comes to life again when the computer is woken back up or started up from being turned off. I cannot fault it yet and I am very happy with it.

Works as it should. Response is crisp and active. Good value for the price. Works well on all surfaces, so far. Blue tooth connectivity very good, this mouse works a lot better than a previous purchase [a Premium manufacturer] for a significantly reduced cost. Good choice of colour options.

TECKNET Bluetooth Mouse, 3200DPI Wireless Mouse, Cordless Mice Ergonomic Portable Mouse for Laptop PC Computer 24 Month Battery Life With Battery Indicator, 3200/2400/2000/1600/1200/800 DPI,GreyItem model number ‏ : ‎ 74940 (on the box it says model EWM01308, as does the sticker on the mouse)Amazon has a habit of combining different items into one review stream, so this is for the model above. It is the one without separate USB receiver.I chose this model as it connects directly to the computer's built in bluetooth and does not require a separate rx to be plugged into the USB port. For some reason more expensive than the units that come with a rx.Mouse comes in a nice simple cardboard box with a printed instruction sheet, detailing the buttons and how to pair it with the computer. Pairing was really easy, it took longer to find the on/off switch on the mouse :o)I was confused by all these DPI numbers. These are the resolution, or how accurately you can move the mouse pointer to a specific point on the screen. It also determines how far you physically need to move the mouse for the pointer to move. My mouse is either used on the chair arm or my knee, so setting it to a low value allows the mouse to physically move a little and get big movement on the screen. I can set it so the chair arm (or my knee) is the same size required to move the mouse anywhere on the screen. The resolution is easily changed by pressing a button, located just below the scroll wheel (for when I get old and fat & get bigger knees :o)Left/right and scroll wheel buttons all have nice positive click feelings. side buttons are located above the thumb rest, so you have to lift your thumb up to use them. My old Microsoft mouse had a button under the thumb, which I thought was better, as one does not have to move ones thumb.The clicks are quite loud & could annoy somebody watching the telly in the same room.The mouse has a number of battery saving modes, these are automatic (as far as I know) and cannot be adjusted. so sometimes a button has to be pressed to bring it into life (after a tea break). There is also an on/off button, so this will save even more battery power and also useful when storing in a bag, to stop the buttons being pressed and keep waking the mouse up.The mouse runs on two AA batteries. The device warns of low battery by a flashing LED and also power remaining in % can be viewed on the PC. Battery life is said to be two years. AA batteries can be bought anywhere, so probably less faff than having a lipo battery & USB charging.Like most peeps, I cannot compare this to other models or brands, but for me, despite the higher than average price, it feels and looks of good quality, fits the hand comfortably and nothing can be faulted with the product.

Great little BT unit. Easy to add to BT devices. I have a Dell XPS 15 which only has USB C ports which are close together and it's difficult to get 2 USB adapters to plug in next to each other to use dongles, so a proper BT unit like this is best. Feels good in the hand and works really well. I haven't used it for gaming, so I don't know about that, hence 3 stars. It's responsive and precise and all the buttons work well. Can't say about battery life yet, I'll amend when the batteries need changed. Really, you can't fault it in any way given it's price.

Seems to be working perfectly

The back and forward button only work while browsing internet. These two buttons do not work in Microsoft apps such as word

Instant BT recognition with my older MacBook Pro. Tracks well; sleep mode sometimes needs a reconnection. Otherwise, it's nice to not have a USB port taken up with a wifi connecter--straight Bluetooth, so JUST the mouse and nothing else.

Comfortable to use but laggy, not good for gaming.

For some reason, Technet is still using this same listing on Amazon that used to be for their discontinued BM306 mouse for this fairly new model, the EWM01308 (it will be identified by your computer’s Bluetooth module as “BT5.0 Mouse”). The old BM306 was a good value, this mouse is about the same price but even better. It is a little larger, has better heft because it uses two AA batteries instead of just one, there are six DPI settings instead of three, and the color of the side buttons is an undistracting black instead of red. It tracks smoothly, the buttons are slightly noisy but all work well (fully compatible with my Mac and the BetterTouchTool driver software I use), the scroll wheel is smooth and fairly quiet but has nice tactile stops. I can’t comment on the battery life yet. I especially like that the mouse generates basic Button 3, Button 4 etc. values instead of the buttons being hard-coded for Page Up, Page Down, etc. as are Logitech and many other mice because the basic Button X values make using third-party mouse drivers much easier. This mouse is a great upgrade relative to the old BM306 and at the current price of between $11 and $16 depending on what color you choose and what discounts are currently being offered, it is a fantastic value. If Technet revised this mouse again I hope they add a third thumb button and a tilting scroll wheel but it’s quite nice as it is.Below is my old review of the BM306 from about 6 years ago:————— ————— —————Over the last 25 years I've owned a bunch of mice and and similar input devices ranging in quality from the crappy hockey puck that shipped with the first iMacs to some really nice Logitech units. I currently spend most of my time using an Apple Magic Mouse supplemented by an Apple Magic Trackpad and sometimes an Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse.Recently I've been playing some games and while the input devices I have were working OK I really wanted a few more buttons and physical buttons rather than just a touch surface over one big button. I gave some thought to pulling out one of my old Logitech MX1000 mice, which are really great, but while wireless they rely on a base station that has to be plugged into AC and a USB port, neither of which I wanted to bother with. I looked at Logitech's current offerings and all the mice I like use a unifying receiver which fits into a USB port and I didn't want to dedicate a USB port for this purpose.Just browsing mice on Amazon I saw this one, the TeckNet BM306. Bluetooth, 5 buttons (left click, right click, scroll wheel/middle click, and a pair of thumb buttons), a scroll wheel, and it seemed to be normal size, i.e. not huge but not made to be especially portable/tiny, either. The price caught my eye, too: Under thirteen bucks. The reviews were mixed but I decided to give it a try.The tracking is smooth and it works on my bare desk, my mouse pad, my thigh, and the arm of my leather lounge chair. I didn't spend time testing it on other surfaces such as mirrors; why would I ever want to use it on a mirror? All the buttons click and register with a good feel but a bit more volume than you might desire if using it in a shared space.The tracking speed, even at the lowest resolution, is faster than my Magic Mouse but tolerable so I don't have to adjust system settings every time I pick up the TeckNet mouse or resort to third-party drivers which allow tracking speed to be set on a device-by-device basis. I'll never use the button on the mouse to change the resolution but for those who find that useful you press that button once and the resolution changes and then the button flashes between one and three times to tell you which resolution setting you just changed to. If this were a function I was going to use I would prefer a slide selector on the bottom of the mouse rather than a button on the top with a flashing light indicator whose meaning has to be memorized.The scroll wheel works very nicely with a perceptible but smooth click as it rotates. Nothing's as good as scrolling with a touch surface but as physical scroll wheels go the one on this mouse is fine. I liked the scroll wheel tilt/left-right scroll/left-right buttons on my Logitech MX1000 mice but if I wanted more buttons I guess I would have looked at some other mouse instead of the BM306.I have a bit of third-party software on my Mac called BetterTouchTool which allows me to assign pretty much whatever functions I like to my mouse buttons. By default, the thumb buttons are back and forward which, in a web browser, will take you to your previous page or the reverse. I prefer to have them work as page down and page up in most applications (although it barely matters since I'm only using this mouse for a few games). Something like USB Overdrive would allow even more customization but BetterTouchTool is good enough for my current purposes and I have it running all the time for other functions, anyway.I wish the thumb buttons were a muted silver or black because the mouse is very professional-looking except for those red buttons on the side. A very minor quibble to be sure but the mouse would look less cheap with a different color choice on these parts.I haven't owned this mouse long enough to verify the claimed battery life but the mouse has three progressive, automatic, and very aggressive sleep modes so I wouldn't be surprised if a single AA battery were to last 15 months. I use rechargeable batteries so it will be a bit shorter for me but as long as it lasts a few weeks I'll be satisfied. In fact, I wish I could disable or at least adjust the mouse's power-saving behavior because while it wakes up with a click and reconnects to my Mac in just a second or three I'd rather that it not go into sleep mode in the time it takes me to walk to the bathroom, do number one, and walk back to my office. This is the only real complaint I have with the mouse and it's a very minor issue. I imagine that it might be more of an issue for users of non-Mac computers which tend to have less reliable communication with Bluetooth devices and I think that's likely the cause of the connection issues reported in most of the low-scoring reviews here. Less aggressive activation of power-saving sleep modes would probably eliminate most of these complaints.At this price I'm quite satisfied with my purchase. The mouse is a great value and if you can live with the infrared rather than a laser, it has enough buttons for your needs, you're right-handed, and you don't have baby or gargantua hands; it's well worth a try especially with Amazon's guarantee backing up your purchase.
