TECKNET Wireless Mouse, 4800 DPI, Ergonomic

This is the third color I bought to give to my boyfriend after purple and blue. The battery lasts forever, the dongle stores inside the mouse for easy transportation, and the mouse works well as soon as it’s plugged in.

For reference, I bought this mouse on November 28th, 2015 for $9.97. The current date that I’m writing this review is August 4th, 2017. The mouse is still intact and working as well as it had when I first bought it. You would expect a cheap mouse like this break after so much time, but it has maintained itself quite well. It helps a bit that this mouse is on the heftier side, the weight really helps. 2.65 ounces isn’t much, but i had been using a dinkier mouse than this one. I have average sized hands, maybe smaller so take that snip-it with a grain of salt.

When I bought it, it took some time for me to get used to it. Like any item, I took some time to break into the setup of the mouse. The clicks were a little heavy, but that changed after some weeks of use. The wheel is nice and smooth. Over the course of my usage, it hasn’t broken, hasn’t caught itself on its own parts. The middle mouse button STILL works splendidly. The click function still works, it doesn’t take that much force to use. I do a fair amount of web browsing on top of gaming. This mouse works very well for both cases.

The DPI switch was a nice addition to have in the beginning. Finding the right DPI to use in different scenarios and tasks, this mouse is a good start. Although throughout my own maturity I realized I didn’t actually need very high DPI for most of my tasks, but to each their own. The circuitry and programming inside the mouse saves battery life quite well. When the mouse is not in use for more than 10 minutes at a time, it goes to sleep and conserves power. This eliminates the need to keep turning off the power to the mouse every time you stop using the mouse. It makes it easier to transport too. You can’t awaken the mouse by moving it around, but instead by clicking the mouse buttons a couple times or rolling the mouse wheel. So a simple shuffle won’t unnecessarily waste power. But if you are still inclined to turn off the switch per habit, again to each their own.

The DPI switch acts as both, obviously a switch, but also as an indicator. Whenever the battery life gets low or whenever you need to start finding a fresh battery, the DPI light will start periodically flashing red. The mouse will still work even if the light is flashing, but by the time the light stops flashing while in use, the battery is dead. It runs on a simple AA battery, which will last you quite a while. In my usage, each battery through this mouse lasts me anywhere from 2-3 months. I game in my spare time, mind you. The sleep module works really well. Probably part of the reason this lasted as long as it did.

The thumb/side buttons are not only comfortable but easy to use. You can’t accidentally bump into the buttons to activate it, these buttons aren’t that touchy. The thumb imprint works really well. It gives a relaxing position to keep my thumb under extended use. Speaking of comfortably, if you’ve ever looked at your hand in rest position (palm facing up), this mouse will cradle that position very well. It’s not perfect, it is a medium sized mouse but it is contoured very well. The USB connector holds a very strong connection with the mouse. When you need to transport it, and not lose it by accident, it tucks nicely in the light-spring slot on the bottom of the mouse. It makes for very easy transportation.

This is the only qualm and my only con about this mouse: the shape. I will not lie this mouse is shaped a little strange. By nature, human fingers vary in length, specifically speaking, the middle finger is longer than the index. The picture isn’t lying; the right-click button which I typically use with my middle finger is shorter than the left click button which i use with my index. I had to adopt a claw position on my mouse (curved fingers into a more clicking position) to use this mouse as my middle finger kept going over the button. I still think that button should be longer, but again, that’s my opinion.

All in all, Good work, Tecknet.

Edit: About a week after I wrote this review, then the mouse started giving me problems. Double clicking, Unregistered clicks, Under representing movements, etc. FML. On the plus side, this mouse did last 2 years.

A pleasant shade of red. Slightly small for my tastes but its user says nothing of its shape, so good. Somewhat light and no expectation of fatigue. Plug and play. Clicks faintly but not loud.

L’ho preso 2 anni fa a mio padre (BLU SCURO). Avendo le mani grandi ed un inizio di artrite alle mani si è trovato bene dal punto di vista ergonomico.
Ora ne ho preso uno pure a mia madre (VIOLA).

Ha tutte le funzioni necessarie all’utente medio e con qualche cosa in più .
Grip confortevole. Preciso e versatile (scuola-casa-ufficio).
NON ADATTO a giocatori ACCANITI ma si può giocare tranquillamente .
In quest’ultimo caso consiglierei di tenerlo come mouse di RISERVA.

Il connettore USB praticamente una volta inserito lo si dimentica perchè a differenza di altri mouse non è invasivo, permettendo così di spostare il pc senza rischiare di rimanere impigliato.
E’ abbastanza robusto e lievi cadute non l’hanno danneggiato.
Funzione BATTERY SLEEP utilissima. In 2 anni non si è ancora scaricato (Uso ufficio – casa)

Utilizzato su un desktop di 15 anni fa con WINDOWS XP, più desktop con WIN 10 , diversi laptop WIN 7 – 10 (HP G4-G6-pavilion-Omen, ASUS, ACER) ma non ho mai riscontrato nessun tipo di problema.

Le batterie NON SONO INCLUSE. Fossi in loro lo scriverei a caratteri cubitali perchè uno non ci pensa mai.

I worked in IT and used this as an affordable wireless mouse for my end users that requested a wireless option. I appreciated the variety of cute colors that allowed me let to people choose their preference.

Later on, I bought myself one so I’d have a cheap mouse to bring with my work laptop. I think one of its best aspects is that it’s a good size for bigger hands at its price point. I ended up buying a second one in a different color and noticed it has a different sensor, so it looks like there might be a couple different versions floating around, although the exterior case and ergonomics are identical. The purple one I have uses an optical sensor, while the grey one uses a laser sensor. The DPI levels must be equal, as I can’t tell a difference in performance, even when using them side by side.

Even though it’s not a gaming mouse, I couldn’t help but take them both through a spin of Halo Master Chief Collection, just to compare to my gaming mouse. It’s completely acceptable for casual play, although hardcore gamers will find its polling rate lacking. Either way, I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who wants a USB dongle based wireless mouse at a excellent price.

Using this for work, and seems to do the job, simple to use and great function.
