TECKNET Bluetooth Wireless Mouse, 3 Modes Bluetooth 5.0 & 3.0 Mouse 2.4G Wireless Portable Optical 4000 DPI Mouse with USB Nano Receiver,for Laptop, MacBook Pro Air, PC, Computer

The TECKNET Bluetooth Mouse arrived today to help me with my laptop which has developed an unreliable touchpad. The mouse comes with good instructions in a number of languages so I ignored them, installed a AA battery, checked to be sure the advertised dongle I might someday use was included, opened Bluetooth in my settings and connected the mouse without issue. The mouse works effieciently on wood, the laptop itself, and the fabric of my chair arm. The mouse fits comfortably in my average feminine hand and grip is good. I actually like the size and feel of the mouse. Scrolling speed and operation was good for me without adjustment. I also noticed that use of the mouse does not disable my touchpad which is convenient. This is a good BT mouse at a great price.

I purchased this mouse 3 years ago. Initially I purchased it because I was working 2 remote jobs and it allowed me to maximize the space on my desk by switching between the computers I had on there. Now I use the mouse for one computer (although the switching between Bluetooth and USB capabilities still work) and it’s the best mouse I’ve ever used. The Bluetooth connection is seamless, it’s incredibly easy to use, the design of the mouse is comfortable in my hands, the grips on the sides are still in great condition and haven’t gotten gross or anything, it’s compatible with Windows and Mac computers. Best money I’ve bet spent on a piece of office equipment, it works so well it’s even kept me from buying an Apple Magic Mouse.

Simple mouse, works great. This is the second one purchased.

I purchased this mouse to use with my laptop that I travel with. The smaller mouse that it replaced had a USB Bluetooth receiver that got damaged because it was sticking out of the laptop when I put it into the case and it got bent. I love that this mouse will connect directly to the computer's Bluetooth, so I don't need the USB receiver. This mouse is really comfortable. It takes up a little more room in my laptop bag, but the fit in my hand is more natural. The extra buttons are nice for being able to scroll back and forth between browser pages, but I'm not really used to that feature so I have to remind myself that they're there. There's one button just behind the scroll wheel that was a bit mysterious. On the instructions it's just labeled as the DPI button, but it doesn't explain what it does. I did a little research and learned that DPI stands for "dot per linear inch" and it's a measure of the sensitivity of the mouse. I think that this feature is really useful for those who are using the mouse for gaming and want to tune the performance of their equipment. I did notice that when I first used the mouse it was much more sensitive than most other mouses I'd used. Pushing the DPI button toggles through six levels of sensitivity, indicated by a corresponding number of flashes of the LED light behind the scroll wheel. I like the third level for most applications. It seems like this button is in kind of an odd location where it can accidentally get pushed and change the sensitivity, but it hasn't been much of an issue for me yet. I love that I have the option of using this mouse with my device's internal Bluetooth receiver, but I can also use the USB receiver to plug it into another device without having to go through the pairing process. This seems like a really well thought out design. Finally, the price is great, and even better when purchased on Amazon. The price I bought it for was $4 less than the listed price on the manufacturer's website. That's a 25% savings!

I've given this mouse a real workout in the last week or so and have been very pleased with its performance. The shape and dimensions are almost exactly the same as a PC mouse from a0 better known brand, but it uses either bluetooth or a USB transmitter, which the other brand didn't. I've been using the bluetooth option to save a port on my new laptop and it has worked fine. It automatically shuts down after 30 minutes to save on battery, but clicking any button on the mouse brings it to life in a couple of seconds. Definitely recommend.

Both my Logitech M510 and G602 like to lose connection for a split second but all the time, really annoying when it happens in the middle of photo editing (like when clicking and selecting...releasing the selection) but this doesn't in BT or wireless mode. Very light and also compact too. Love the switch between BT and wireless. I have the dongle in my work laptop all the time and have BT paired to my personal laptop. Nothing to remember (or forget) Only complaint is the dongle is way too large, most mice dongles only stick out half the distance from the USB plug. Small gripe. Fantastic buy at $10.

I don't normally go out of my way to write reviews on Amazon, but after having a frustrating couple years' experience with mice (mouses?), i felt compelled to get on here and express how happy i am with this one. I've owned many mice over the years, normally i buy Targus or Logitech if I can. Targus used to make a really nice one with an optical top-side scroll that allowed you to scroll not only up or down but left and right too, that may have been my all-time favorite up 'til now, but they no longer make it. It died several years ago, and since i've gone through many. They never seem to last more than a year or two; it seems sooner or later the main click button wears out or they just stop responding like a power issue, and they need to be replaced. Many times, especially if you use a Mac or use Linux, they just won't work at all, compatibility issues. I've tried a couple Logitech mice the last few times, they seem to be the premier company in the mouse market, so you'd think they'd be good quality. Had a Logitech Pebble, stopped working literally a year and a day after I bought it (also happened to be right after the warranty expired...interesting.) Also disconnected frequently (several times a day), and took some hassle to re-connect. Bought a same model replacement at a Target where Logitech was the only brand they had and the Pebble was the best (and priciest, at $29.99) they had in stock. This time, it worked for about 30 seconds before it too "died", leaving me mouseless again until i could go back to Target to return it. Major inconvenience to say the least, considering that buying a mouse was the 1 and only reason for the original Target visit in the first place. The girl who processed the return asked me no questions about the return, even though I'd already cut open the package, which suggested to me that was not the first time she'd seen people return a defective Logitech mouse. Needless to say, i'm done with Logitech. The other thing about the Logitech mouse, it never seemed to wake up one of my machines, even if the laptop had just fallen asleep. I was always having to re-connect it too. I had just started using Linux around the time i got that, and i always assumed it was a compatibility issue, and had shrugged it off as a pitfall of Linux. Same with another "off-brand" mouse I had used, though that one was the only one I ever had that seemed to connect seamlessly with Linux over Bluetooth (I've found that you usually have to use the USB piece to use a wireless mouse with Linux, Bluetooth seems to be a problem, at least with mice). Not to write a hate-spiel about Logitech here, but it aggravates me greatly that their mice don't work well, especially with their reputation and the price of their stuff. It's like, i live in the richest, most powerful nation in the world, in the most technologically advanced era in history, and i can't get a decent ^#$%ing wireless mouse that will actually work longer than a year!? What does a guy have to do to get a freakin' mouse that works these days? Anyway, I bought this one due to the high ratings, features, and most options for compatibility and connections. Had it maybe a month or two, so i can't comment yet on it's long-term durability. But, it has been life-changing so far. I was skeptical that it would even work, but it does, and it works far better than any other mouse i've had since that Targus of long ago. And it's about half the price of Logitech mice. This mouse will wake up my Linux laptop from the other room, the next day after it's been "asleep" overnight. It turns out Linux isn't the problem; the problem was that the other mice i had and their wireless signal were too weak. This one is also nicely designed, with a more comfortable and ergonomic fit for my hand than a Pebble's small, shallow shape, and i have relatively small hands. I can quickly and easily switch between control of two computers by switching the connectivity switch on the bottom from Bluetooth to USB adaptor or vice-versa. The Pebble could sort-of do that too, if both laptops were "awake", but this one is far more reliable, and is powerful enough to wake up the asleep machine, which Logitech mice can't. Mice are simple devices in principle, easy to take for granted. But in this age where apparently mouse companies apparently either can't build one that that works very well for very long, or don't feel it's in their interests to do so, Tecknet is a godsend. It also comes in a simple, environmentally-considerate cardboard box, which happily proclaims "frustration-free packaging". Well-done, Shenzhen! No scissor-destroying, aggravating, potentially dangerous cutting open of plastic blister-packaging of questionable recyclability. I wish more American companies would take this kind of approach. Room for improvement? Well, the mouse seems to occasionally disconnect randomly from my MacOS-running laptop (I use Bluetooth connection for that one), but it doesn't happen that often, and usually self-corrects after a couple seconds and a bit of mouse-jiggling. There's a thin toggle-button built onto the left side of the gripping area which function as back- and forward- buttons you can activate with a squeeze of your thumb for web browsers. Takes a little getting used to, and it's easy to accidentally click those and switch pages when doing web-surfing, but can actually come in handy when you're used to it and feeling extra-lazy, so I have mixed feelings about that. If you're left-handed though, this is not an optimal placement, and I think lefties will either accidentally click more than righties, or will feel this isn't really "available" to them, as it may take a rather awkward maneuvering of the ring-finger to use. Also, there are quite a few buttons and switches on this mouse, so you really do have to read the manual to get this thing going, and you'll probably have to consult it again from time to time, as i have. All that said, it's an incredible relief to finally have a well-functioning, reliable, high-performance multi-platform wireless mouse that plays well with Linux and MacOS, and that alone gives me reason to rate this at five stars.

Updated Review (08/2023) Having used the Tecknet mouse for almost a year, I'm docking two stars from my previous, five-star review. Recently, the accuracy of the mouse has dropped off in a fairly material way. I frequently have to click several times on application icons to open the application. Also frequently, the mouse cursor simply disappears from the screen (particularly when traversing application windows) and I have jiggle the mouse to have it reappear. And finally, the Bluetooth connection requires that the mouse be moved and clicked in order to wake it up whenever I initially turn on the computer or return to the computer in screensaver mode. I thought that was simply the way Bluetooth mouses work (versus 2.4G wireless which simply requires the mouse to be moved to wake up the computer). With the degraded performance of the Tecknet mouse, I recently decided to purchase UGREEN 2.4G/Bluetooth mouse which has all the same features as the Tecknet mouse (but with 4 dpi modes versus the Tecknet mouse's 3). The performance of the UGREEN mouse helped underscore the flaws in the Tecknet mouse. In particular, even though I connect the UGREEN mouse to the computer via Bluetooth as I do with the Tecknet mouse, I can wake up the computer by just jiggling the mouse (like you do with a 2.4G connected mouse). The UGREEN mouse never requires multiple clicks on an icon/button to launch applications and the mouse cursor never disappears from the screen. I will say that the UGREEN mouse was more clumsy to initially connect to the computer than the Tecknet mouse but that's a one-time connection and, once connected, it's solid. The Tecknet mouse is decent enough but, in my experience, the performance degrades quite significantly over time. Original Review (09/2022) I recently purchased this Tecknet dual-mode mouse to replace an aging Logitech M510 that had been dropped on its head a number of times during its lifetime. Both the M510's scroll wheel and tracking had become quite spotty and a replacement was necessary. I've always purchased Logi devices with the Unifying USB receiver which allows the easy addition of other Logi Unifying devices, however, since I really only use a mouse with my laptop, I thought I'd save a bit of money and try a non-Logi mouse with Bluetooth this time around (if I decide to get an external keyboard, I'll just make that one Bluetooth as well which nullifies the benefits of Logi's Unifying receivers). This Tecknet mouse additionally provides 2.4GHz connectivity via the USB receiver which is a nice bonus should you have issues with Bluetooth or can't use Bluetooth (I found Bluetooth to be problematic when switching a Macbook Pro from macOS to Windows via Bootcamp - would work on one OS but not the other requiring constant re-pairing; 2.4GHz wireless, however, had no problem). First I was very pleased to see the small, cardboard, "frustration-free" box this mouse arrived in (I coincidentally also bought a new Logitech M650 for my wife and that mouse came in the usual, environmentally-unfriendly, large, plastic packaging). Of course, I didn't fully read the instructions (I'm a software developer so I obviously think I know everything) but, notwithstanding that, this mouse was a breeze to set up on Bluetooth. My PC recognized it instantly (you'll see two available BT devices: "BM20X-3.0" and "BM20X-5.0," one for BT3 and the other for BT5; I chose BT5). There doesn't appear to be any separate configuration software; instead, the mouse complies with the common settings for each of its buttons (left-click, right-click, center scroll, center press to allow gesture direction scroll, and back/forward on the two side-mounted buttons). Cursor speed, acceleration, and scrolling is pretty much perfect for me right out of the box with the default Windows OS settings for the mouse. The DPI setting button (right above the scroll wheel) is pretty interesting and a feature I haven't seen before even on quite expensive mouses (mice?). There is no obvious indicator as to which DPI setting you're on but, if you click the button and move the mouse then click the button again and move the mouse and then do it a third time, you should be able to see the difference in tracking. For me, what I'm guessing was the lowest setting (1,000 dpi) was a bit too slow while the highest setting (2,000 dpi) was a bit too fast. The middle setting (1,500 dpi) was Goldilocks - just right. This is very neat to see as a hardware setting (you'd normally be fiddling with the mouse configuration software to perfect the tracking and acceleration of your mouse). In terms of comfort, I have what I'd say are medium-sized men's hands and this mouse is perfectly comfortable. Compared to my old M510, it's about the same width but a bit shorter. The M510 is a big mouse at 4.5" long by 2.5" wide. The Tecknet mouse is about 4 1/8" long by 2.5" wide. I find both to be comfortable. The Tecknet mouse is not a compact mini-mouse as some reviewers have indicated (the Logi M325 is an example of a compact mouse that is 3.75" x 2.25"); it's a regular sized mouse that should be perfectly comfortable for most normal sized men and women (if you've got Sasquatch-sized hands, you might want to look at the 4.5" Logi M550L or M650L where the "L" means "large"). The clicks are what you normally expect from a mouse (neither quiet nor overly loud) and the scroll has the usual clicky scroll sound. I prefer this standard behavior. (As a side note, the Logi M650 supposedly has a "smart scroll" that accelerates the scroll if you scroll faster like doing a fast swipe on a touchscreen; unfortunately, there's an annoying, cartoonish boing-boing sound whenever you do this.) I just purchased this mouse so I can't really comment on its longevity but so far, I have to say that I'm quite impressed. This mouse is easily as good as any of the many Logitech mice I've used in the past. If it lasts, I'll certainly be back for more.

Not bad at all. It's working properly with all kinds of phone, tablet, laptop, etc. Good materials, good feel in the hand.

Bardzo dobra myszka w swojej kategorii cenowej (50zł). Szybko się paruje z BT, równie dobrze działa ze swoim nadajnikiem. Baterie bardzo długo trzymają. Nie wyłączam przełącznika na OFF - nie ma takiej potrzeby.

I intended to connect this 1600DPi mouse to my internal Bluetooth. The pairing was relatively easy and requested less than 3 seconds to be detected at the start. Windows automatically updated the driver, and the final set was quick. Even if it is not a problem for my left hand, I will not recommend it for left-handed people, as both lateral buttons can be inconvenient.

Very happy with the purchase. Works wonderfully. I purchased this mouse to replace an aging Wifi mouse where the scroll wheel wasn't tracking properly any more. The documentation indicated that it worked with Linux using the included 2.4Ghz wifi dongle, but I wanted to try using it as a Bluetooth mouse on Linux. I put the battery in the device, set the switch to Bluetooth and moved it around, but it wasn't recognized by my Linux system. So I used my old mouse, accessed my Linux Bluetooth settings, and connected the new mouse to my system. After that it worked flawlessly. I rebooted the system multiple times, and while, it might take an extra second or two for the bluetooth mouse to become active after a reboot, I haven't had any issues since I set it up. The mouse is very light and responsive. The size fits my hand nicely. And the buttons and scroll wheel work great. Even the "Back" and "Forward" buttons on the side of the mouse, (which I don't really use), work great. When the mouse goes to "sleep" to save battery, you need to press one of the buttons to wake it up. I have two other mice that do the same thing, but with this mouse, when you press a button to wake it up, NO ACTION seems to be sent to the computer, which is a HUGE bonus. I use to have to be very careful when waking up my old wireless mice, as you could click a link, or close a program and lose work if you weren't careful. Not a problem with this mouse. And I just ordered a 2nd one for my other computer for this exact reason. Also, it only requires 1 AA battery, unlike my other mice that seem to require 2 AA or AAA batteries, so depending on how long the battery lasts, might be savings to be had in battery usage as well. Overall, I can definitely recommend it for use with Linux (at least on my system) My system is running Kubuntu 25.04 using Wayland (rather than X11) And my hardware is a Trigkey Ser 5 (from Amazon) with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPU with a built-in MediaTek controller supporting Bluetooth v5.2

Connects quickly every time. One battery lasts months, blue led underneath, Side buttons all work nicely. I use it with an android tablet streaming my pc screen to it and this mouse is always ready to go. Much better than average.
