I’ve been using a trusty old Logitech G502 gaming mouse with my desktop PC for years. However, I just got a MSI GE76 Raider gaming laptop and was looking for a decent compact mouse to go with it. I’m used to having extra back and forward programmable buttons. Cherry is a known brand, especially for keyboard mechanical switches where they are a dominant force.

I was impressed by the mouse from the get-go. It is slightly smaller than a regular desktop mouse and fits nicely in my hand and provides easy access for my thumb to the back and forwards buttons. A really nice feature is the DPI button which lets you manually change sensitivity depending on the kind of game you are playing or application you are using. The scroll wheel feels great. There is no play; it’s smooth and firm.

Having a laptop means you have minimal free USB ports available. Fortunately, this mouse has both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi functionality you can shift between via a switch underneath. I ended up using Bluetooth which only takes a moment to wake up and has given me no problems so far. A Wi-Fi dongle is included and attaches underneath. I ended up not using Wi-Fi to free up a USB port.

The built-in battery with USB charging is a nice touch because it makes this mouse light weight. The USB charging is compatible with my magnetic cables, so I have quick connect which is an added bonus. This is by far my favorite portable mouse. It has all the functionality I need and I don’t need to install any drivers. It is more pricey than most but is easily worth it because of the quality and extra features.

My only slight niggle is that it only comes in an elegantly styled black and silver design; a few more color options to suite a variety of tastes would be cool but other than that I really can’t find fault in it.

I love this mouse. It is on the smaller side, what some might call a laptop mouse or portable mouse. I like to move my mice with my fingers as opposed to resting my palm on them and moving my arm. It works great for me.

Build quality is great, like everything I have bought from Cherry. My desktop mouse is the Cherry GENTIX 4K (wired), and I got one of their cheap keyboards (Cherry WhisperKey Economy Keyboard) - that was impressive also despite the economy price (great build, key feel, quiet). I wanted to buy one of their TKL keyboards (pricey) but ended up with a G-Skill keyboard with Cherry switches.

But back to this mouse - all the buttons and scroll-wheel feel great (scroll-wheel is clickable also - middle-click, but no tilt). It feels sturdy. The patterned rubber sides feel good also. None of that spray-on rubber coating that becomes sticky after a couple of years.

Using the mouse with the included dongle is straightforward.

Using the Bluetooth connection with my Linux laptop gave me a bit of trouble. (RTFM if you don't notice the small button under the switch on the bottom.) I could initially connect (and "pair" and "trust") the mouse to the laptop, it showed as connected but the cursor on the screen didn't move. It did start to move after putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up later on. Strange... It has been working great since then.

The included pouch and charging cable are a bonus. The pouch is nice, the cable is cool-looking (black with red/cherry accents).

So... is it worth the price, considering there are similar mice at half the price? I say yes, if you value quality for items you use daily. Otherwise, buy a Tecknet but don't be surprised if it feel creaky and sloppy.

Ever since I bought this mouse, the USB connector was finnicky at best. It stopped working entirely some months ago. If Windows 10 hadn't broken their bluetooth services, I might have been able to keep using the mouse.

The Cherry keyboard I own still works great with a near-identical wireless usb connector, but for whatever reason this mouse did not have the same product quality.

Bluetooth connectivity disrupted quite often while using it. So have to return it

UPDATE 8/31/22 - GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE

The company has resolved the problem set out in my 8/1 update by sending a replacement. Five stars for their 1st rate customer service; purchase with confidence that problems will be resolved.

UPDATE; 8/1/22

I got this mouse in May [and really liked it] but am now very disappointed. It no longer holds a charge and has to be recharged every 24 hours!! For $30 this should have lasted a lot longer than 3 months.!!!!

Being tired of cheap mice [under $20] that go through batteries and last maybe a year, I decided to upgrade to a better {spend more $$] rechargeable one. This one charged quickly, is lightweight, comfortable, has an audible click and a very smooth scroll wheel. Set up is a matter of plugging the receiver into your PC's port and its ready.

For the extra dollars you also get some additional features:

Connects via Bluetooth or wireless receiver

Encryption already enabled

Charging with any USB socket/ can be used during charge

Low battery status light

Receiver stored inside mouse

Includes carry/storage bag and USB cable

Sleep mode

Best mouse I've ever tried and definitely worth the price.

Excellent quality mouse, especially with the dual Bluetooth and Wifi connectivity. I planned on using it with a Smart TV/Monitor combination that I just set up, but the build quality, and adjustability, convinced me to use it with an iPad, that I have started using with a tablet stand. It paired instantly, and the multi connectivity is a huge plus. The Wifi adapter stores in the mouse, so you can’t lose it, if you are using it with a Bluetooth connection. I just got a regular Bluetooth mouse, and didn’t realize that it needed disposable batteries, so the recharging ability is a huge plus. The recharge port is USB C, which is definitely the most reliable port you can have. It has been a long time since I was this impressed by a mouse, and I probably will get another for my travel bag. I don’t think I can put this one away, in my bag!

Comes with:

High quality charging cable

Drawstring carry bag

Wifi USB receiver (plugs into, and hidden, in mouse, and doesn’t interfere with use as Bluetooth mouse)

Manual

Really excellent product!

I use my iPad a lot, have a rechargeable BT keyboard and wanted to improve my efficiency, so I began looking for a rechargeable BT mouse and found this really nice one by Cherry.

I charged it up but was unable to get it to Pair, until today. I didn’t give up and am glad I persevered! Now it pairs automatically as soon as I turn it on. I don’t even need to push the Pairing button on the underside.

It came with its own USB-A to USB-C charging cable and a carry bag. The instructions were multi-lingual and voluminous and I “edited” with a pair of scissors to make it manageable.

This will make my work easier, more enjoyable and add quite a bit to improving efficiency.

It looks great, feels great and works perfectly now. I’m very pleased with this mouse, it seems fairly price for what you get and I highly recommend it and would buy it again.

5 STARS!

CONS

-Heavy for a small mouse (92g)

-Not ideal for gaming (Only 3 DPI options and tracking isn't that great)

-Initial charging took about 1 hour and 40 minutes

Overall, this mouse is fine and is good for travel since it is small and compact. However, it is a bit heavy for such a small mouse. The build quality is great and the mouse is comfortable to use. Not a huge fan of the limited 3 DPI selections. I wish it offered lower DPI options for gaming. Tracking is fast but not great - not suitable for FPS games.

El producto es muy bueno y el servicio de amazon y el vendedor en general muy bien.

Yo lo tuve que devolver porque lo senti mas chico de lo normal, creo que se ajustara bien a quienes tengan manos mas pequeñas, a mi en lo personal despues de una hora de uso constante siento fatiga y no me pasa con otros similares, nada mas consideren eso al comprarlo, pero la calidad del producto es muy buena, se siente bien hecho, materiales de buena calidad, se siente un buen agarre en los laterales y los switches se sienten de muy buena calidad tambien. El problema fue mas mi modo de agarre que el producto en si, por eso le doy 5 estrellas.
