Side by Side Comparison of: EagleTec vs HDE

I had never heard of EagleTec and was skeptical about an unknown company, but the mouse is well-built and works great. This is my second mouse from them. I used the first one for a year, before it fell down a flight of stairs. I loved it so much that I would replace it only with the same one that fell. The mouse pairs instantly with my laptop and the batter lasts forever because it automatically goes to sleep after a few minutes. The mouse seems sturdy, with only 12 wooden stairs keeping it from still working properly. It's comfortable in my hand and the buttons are accessible. I love having the scroll wheel.

I am so pleased with this product. It feels very nice to the touch and glides really smoothly on my mousepad. I really the buttons that allow you to go back and forth between previously visited pages, without having to use the web browsers back and forth buttons. The buttons on the mouse are pretty much conveniently placed as well. I love that it is the color orange, more like rusty/burnt orange, and it's wireless. I haven't had any problems with it since I started using it. Ah, it also looks just like it does advertised.

This is a pretty nice mouse. Especially for the price.The weight is distributed well, though it is not customizable. The thumb recess is of good material, and has yet to degrade from months of use. The buttons are placed atop the recess such that they are easy to nudge, yet not invasive to a resting grip. The wheel has satisfying tactile feedback for rotation increments, though it lacks a free-spin mode. The DPI modes are basically low, medium and high. I typically stick with medium, and make slight adjustments in the OS or application, reserving the other modes for extreme circumstances.The battery life is great. I have been using the same battery for months. However, this is largely due to an auto-sleep mode. Typically the first component to fail in a mouse of mine is the scroll wheel click. I tend to push the wheel in at a bit of an angle, and I can feel this is straining the internal components more so than a fully vertical press.The underside of the mouse has a recess for inserting the receiver. Unfortunately the receiver is too large for the underside to be flush when inserted. The company site only has drivers for Windows machines, so other operating systems will have to do with default or open-source drivers.

I have tried, my teen tech-savvy daughter has tried, to no avail...it will not turn on. I downloaded the driver...nothing. I tried to contact the company before asking for a refund...no answer and now it's too late to return. Money down the drain! If the company would just contact me back, this may have turned out differently. I'll update if something changes. It's a very cool, sleek, and fits the hand well. It's a shame it won't work.UPDATE: Well, the company was awesome in helping me try to fix this issue. They sent a paid label to return it and everything. I went to get it ready to mail back but decided to try the website again for troubleshooters. The box says this is a model MR12 but it's not, it's the model number shown on the product page so once I saw that I'd been searching the wrong one I finally found the help section. I followed a suggestion on how to get it to turn on and it worked. The scroll function is flawless and the mouse is smooth. I just wish they would print those directions in an actual manual instead of the little page of paper that comes with it. That's my only complaint now. I had wanted one with a smooth scroll button as all of mine are jumpy and won't work on any of the certain brand mice I have. This one is wonderful and even though it took a while, I am enjoying it a lot! Great service when I thought it was needed so great company too.

I'm surprised that my mouse isn't broken yet... I have a two year old who has gotten it when I'm not looking and dropped it on the ground a few times, she's sat on it, and has pulled the usb plug out of my laptop. She even bent the right click button up and I freaked out, but it just popped back into place and still works perfectly. I'm impressed. I'm not sure about the side buttons how they're programmable in games, I haven't used them for any yet, only for the default browser back and forward for web pages.Some things to note:-It's small, I'm female and have small hands and it feels small for me. But I got used to it and it's comfortable.-It's not quiet, has a fairly loud button click-You need a mouse pad or surface that doesn't have a pattern on it, otherwise the mouse reads it as not a flat surface and jumps on your screen. I saw someone complaining about that in a review and figured out what they were talking about when I used a book with a dark picture on it as a surface.None of those things are bothersome to me, so I love it. No regrets, the price is ridiculously cheap too. I'll be buying more EagleTec stuff.

I'm giving this mouse 4 1/2 stars. I was actually going to give it only 4 stars because of one of the cons, but I think that the pluses far outweigh the minuses for this product.I just received it today. So, time will tell how well it will hold up. However, for the time being, this is actually the best performing wireless mouse that I've ever had. I've never owned a super expensive wireless mouse, but I have had Microsoft and HP wireless mice. This mouse easily outperforms those for less than half the price. It's very responsive, and most importantly for me, it has worked for any surface on which I've used it. My last mouse was an HP mouse, and it would not work properly on any surface other than one which was a solid, dark color. So, I took to using a black binder as a mouse pad. It's very annoying to have that type of limitation on something purchased specifically for the purpose of not having physical limitations regarding where it can be used. This mouse has worked everywhere - on top of my lumpy bed mattress, on the arm of my living room chair, on table tops, everywhere. I'm very pleased with its performance.There's only one thing that I would list on the con side. For the price, you have to expect that it's not going to be the sturdiest thing around. The overall feel of the device is fine. It's a good fit for my hand, and all the curves are in just the right place for my fingers. However, I found out pretty quickly that it can come apart if you're not careful. The mouse itself is still intact; however, the USB dongle slipped out of its outer metal casing when I was removing it from the back of my Fire TV USB port. I was able to slip it back in and pull the whole thing out intact. However, I've never had that happen before with any USB receiver on a device of any kind. It seems to be able to be inserted and removed just fine from my laptop. The port on the Fire TV is a bit snug. So, that's something that you'll want to watch out for if you have a USB port that fits a bit tightly.Other than that one issue, it's been great so far. I would say that if this mouse can last 1 year or longer it will definitely have been worth the price. So, I'm just going to err on the side of optimism and say that this was 10 dollars well spent.Update (07/19/16): I've had this mouse for almost 2 years now, and it's still going strong.

Works if you need a mouse. It's made of cheap plastic but that's to be expected just by looking at the price.Always always always use the spot to keep the sub part in the mouse when not using. I usually kept it in my computer but for a time had to take it out. Now I have no clue where it ended up.

The Best wireless mouse and with different colorsthat it comes in, I Love it so much... And themouse doesn't need to be inline with the receiver to work well

Great mouse option at a great price. Call me old school, but I prefer using a mouse over trackpad options that come standard on a MacBook. I didn't want to pay the high price of the magic mouse but still wanted an interface that matched the overall look and feel of Mac products. This mouse provided me with an inexpensive yet sleek design that has worked seamlessly with a MacBook. Although it doesn't have touch control sensitivity options like the magic mouse, it is still is a great solution for basic right and left clicking as well as scrolling. Have been using this for almost a year and have not experienced any problems. Highly recommend.

CONS: I have to say that this mouse is horrible. I bought this mouse hoping to have a good mouse to use aside from my normal mouse which kills batteries like crazy. When I was looking at this mouse it looked good. I purchased with 2 day shipping (which came 6 days later). This mouse is a lot longer and less curved giving an uncomfortable flat feel. It did not wont to respond to my laptop I inserted the wireless chip and battery and it took up to a minute to start working. The shape of the mouse is also weird pressing into your hand.PROS: The mouse wheel is very stable and wont go out of control. and the clicking is not horribly annoying but it still sounds like a WW2 clicker.****Im rating this mouse 5 stars just so people will see the review and NOT buy this item because its horrible, my real rating is 2 stars*****

Its a mouse... And I like it..Lets be realistic here, its a wireless mouse for under ten dollars...I've used it almost everyday since February. Changed the battery once. Feels fine to me.The scroll wheel is plastic, yet ridged, so scrolling has not been an issue. It also turns itself off when not in use.I'm using it on Linux and have zero complaints...Maybe if your expecting some fancy device, you should look elsewhere and spend a bit more.However if your looking for a mouse that works and does what its supposed to do, point and click.. Its great!Its cheap. It works. Its cheap. Holds up to daily use. Its cheap.Looks nice too..

I was so excited to get this mouse in the mail. I work from home and was going crazy trying to use my laptop touch pad. I will warn you when you get the mouse. It does not click. You have to press firmly on the right and left click to make it work the first time. I almost thought the mouse didn't work. The instructions did not explain this. But, once I used my common sense and just gave it a firm click it flicked into action. Def. worth the price...!

Generally a good mouse. Since purchase, the DPI switch never worked. They did offer a replacement, but my touchpad was unusable and I needed it for my college classes and couldn't send it back. My only real qualm with that is that if it gets hit, it'll blink incessantly.This mouse has worked on near every surface (besides transparent ones) I've used it on. I also use the side buttons for macros, and are used very, very often. That in mind, all of the buttons still work with no noticeable degradation. The mouse wheel, however, about a year after purchase started scrolling down when attempting to scroll up, and vice versa, inconsistently. Quite annoying, but it's not horrible and can still be worked around.For the price, definitely a good mouse. I have and most likely will continue to recommend this to my friends, who have also had a good experience with this mouse.

Simple wireless mouse. Not great, it does jump around from time to time, so if you need quick accurate responses don't rely on this. For normal desk usage this will work fine. Not for gaming, not for CAD work. The jumping irked me enough that I gave it away. For the price you can't beat it. I like a mouse that's a little more heavier, this one is fairly light, seems quite breakable. Weight is on the front, not in the back, so it feels like it wants to run away from my hand.

I have mixed feelings about this product and company, but for a $7 wireless mouse, I really can't complain. So many features for such a low price.Eagletec packaged the mouse very nicely in a perfect sized box, but their "instructions" have some room for improvement. All it does is direct you to their website in a few different languages. Their website wouldn't load on Chrome, but I was able to bring it up on Safari.When I first opened the box, I was impressed with the materials the mouse was made with. It's not as great as the Apple "Magic" mouse I use at work, but the price difference reflects this. Performance wise though, this mouse is better. Very responsive and the mouse fits in my hand nicely. I love that the scrolling speed can be changed with the simple push of a button.I had a little trouble getting the battery to fit correctly at first. I had it orientated correctly, so the lights on the mouse lit up, but the battery needed to be *clicked* in to make the mouse track movements. Not sure if this is the case for everyone, but it is something to keep an eye on as had I not bumped the battery when I was trying to take it out I would have tried to return it. Now it works flawlessly, no complaints.

I bought this mouse after trying at least three different other ones, some of which cost three times the price of this one. I ultimately settled on this one for two main reasons:1) The side mouse buttons. I occasionally game on my laptop (college student) and find mouse buttons invaluable.2) Tracking stability. I bought a wonderful wireless mouse with side buttons that I was in love with, until I found would inexplicably not track on the glossy-surface desks at my university (which are EVERYWHERE, including the library) which was extremely irritating. This mouse suffers no such issues, and also tracks reliably on uneven surfaces such as carpet.My only grievance with this mouse is the battery life, which is related to the auto-sleep function (this mouse does not have an on/off switch, btw). After a few minutes, the mouse will go into sleep mode, where movement will be "muted" and power conserved. However, clicking any buttons on the mouse or moving the scroll wheel wakes it back up.This is a great function that, usually, will save battery life. Unfortunately, the mouse will continue to "wake up" even if the receiver is plugged into a computer that is off, in sleep mode, etc. This means that if you put the mouse into your backpack and the buttons happen to get clicked (pretty much if you move at all, much less ride a bike to class like me) then you will be draining battery life ALL THE TIME. Before I figured this out, it was dying within days of replacing the battery (only takes one AA battery).I solved this by just removing the battery from the mouse each time I placed it into my backpack, which is a bit annoying. However, aside from that I have no other complaints with this mouse, and still consider it an absolute steal for the price!

Just a warning this thing is TINY! Gets the job done though and is very affordable. The clicking feels very firm instead of cheap and flimsy like most mice in this price range. The shape kind of forces you to a certain grip as well, not as universal of a grip as I think they were going for. Basically has perfect finger spots already grooved and contorted in. Uses a series of blinks to tell you what DPI you're at (1 blink = 1000 DPI, 2 Blink = 1500, 3 Blink = 2000). The software is a joke, it's basically the already built-in windows mouse configurations... I can see why it didn't come with a CD.. or ANY info for that matter. It's definitely "customizable" but to do that is definitely not what I'd call "user-friendly". For the main, standard mouse features just plug-in the USB, let windows auto-install drivers and you're good to goBiggest thing for me, aside from the light weight/small size, is it forces an auto-shut off feature. Something that can kind of be a head trip for me because I instantly think the batteries are dead for that half-a-second. Then really, I realize, it's just the auto-shut off that the mouse uses to save the battery.. I can see where some people would love and embrace this feature but I am not one of them. Personally, I just find it annoying. I just wish there was SOME way to turn it off manually that isn't pulling the USB stick outRegardless, for the price I still recommended. If:-You have small hands (or) use the 'claw grip'-Just want a quick, firm wireless mouse-Don't like being arsed with software on cheap mice-LOVE auto-shutoff-Need a mouse with changeable DPI-On a major budget

I've just received this mouse, and was eager to see how it performed. I bought it to use exclusively with my laptop, when needed. I was delightfully surprised to find out that for the price, about $10, this is a pretty good mouse! Not too small, not too big. It works on practically any flat surface. I do not find the "Left" and "Right" buttons noisy. The scroll-wheel is not as noisy as that of the Amazon brand mouse that I purchased here, to use with that same laptop. Unfortunately, unlike on my (much more expensive) Logitech mice, that wheel can't be set to spin freely. The "Back" and "Forward" buttons (don't exist on the Amazon mouse) work well.Unlike on the Amazon mouse, the compartment where the nano-receiver is stored is not covered, when the mouse is being used. In my opinion, over time, that compartment will accumulate plenty of dust and other detritus, ... even food (... LOL), if it's not cleaned frequently.To save energy, this mouse automatically goes into hibernation, after it's been idled for 8 minutes. Just press any button, and you are back in business ... Wonderful!Overall, this is a good and inexpensive mouse. However, I have no idea about its longevity. Considering its the price, it doesn't matter much.... Four stars!

At first when I opened this I was worried because to be honest it felt cheaply made. However after hooking it up and putting it to use it works great. Clicks smooth, rolls smooth. No issues scrolling or using. I think its worth what I paid so Im happy!

How good this mouse is depends on whether you have a decent mouse pad or not. It's an optical mouse, though, so that's to be expected. I rate it four stars because it really is ergonomic... it feels amazing in your hand, and is responsive. I've had a few hiccups with getting it to reconnect when I've had it on but stepped away (so it went into battery saver mode), but nothing more than 30 seconds or so of tapping the button. The best use for this is probably on a computer that you can set up nicely with a mouse pad. Battery life hasn't been a problem so far btw

This was a pre-vacation purchase to go with a new laptop. It does everything a mouse is supposed to do, but will feel plasticky and cheap if you are used to well-weighted, well-constructed mice from major brand names. For me the light weight was nice since I was traveling light. For the record, it survived just fine through two weeks of plane/train travel, stuffed into my laptop sleeve on the other side of the mouse pad. This mouse also has an energy-saving feature where it will shut down if you don't use it for a minute or so, and you have to press the small button you see just behind the scroll wheel in the photo, to bring it back to functionality. Since batteries cost a fortune in Europe, to me this was a good feature to have, but it can take some getting used to. I probably wouldn't want to use this as my long-term work or home desktop mouse, but for travel or a short-term use, I'd recommend it.

I bought this mouse because I wanted something slim and nice to look at. I didn't need anything extravagant ( I use it for browsing, email, simple photo editing) so the HDE works fine for me and was worth the price.PROS:- Very lightweight and easy hand placement- Only takes (1) AA battery, even though the description says (2)- DPI button DOES work and gives 3 levels of sensitivity / pointer speed- Turns itself off if not in use to save batteryCONS- Moving the mouse does not turn it back on. You have to use the switch underneath.- No pads underneath so it scrapes around if you use it without a mousepadI haven't had it very long so it could die tomorrow. Who knows. But, so far it's performed exactly as I'd expect for an $8 mouse.

I will begin with my story about this mouse, so if you just want the review on the mouse itself, skip to the bottom paragraph please :)When I first received this mouse, I was a bit upset. It was out of the box (obviously to resell the batteries or for the owner to keep it for himself/herself) and it was sent in a cheap bag and bubble wrap, which didn't bother me because I care about the mouse and not the package it comes in of course. But because of the cheap packaging protection, the center button fell off and was shaking inside the mouse, making me think it was broken as soon as I opened it. After two days of having my mouse taking up space, I decided to take it apart before throwing it away. I put the piece back and saw that a small metal piece was bent in a weird way. I unbent it and after putting it back together, it started working perfectly... This was a weird packaging accident in my opinion so I'm hoping it was just me having this issue...Now, about the mouse itself. The price is worth it! Very cheap but the mouse design is very comfortable to hold and it works perfectly! I can use this in almost every surface and the mouse pointer still moves accurately and fast. I wish there was an included battery, but it's not a big issue because I had rechargeable batteries myself.... it's a mouse and it perfectly works like a mouse. I don't know how many details about that I can give :)

it is a good product for the money. It came in time, was properly packaged, and works well now. I am overall happy with the purchase. Thanks

Worked great for the the 11 months it worked. Now USB transmitter is recognized, but no power to mouse even after replacing batteries. Too bad.UPDATE 8/27/2017: Company sent replacement free of charge, but the new mouse didn't work right out out of the box. It was as if they just sent back my original mouse. I suppose I got my money's worth out of this cheap product. Will now start looking for a more substantial wireless mouse. Downgraded this product from two to one star.UPDATE 8/29/2017: Company suggested, among other things, that I hold down both the right button and the scroll wheel for 8 seconds. This got the device working. Who knows. Perhaps i could have gotten my original mouse to work had they informed me of this trick before I returned it. Would be nice if the device came with instructions that would have, at least, listed this in a troubleshooting section. Changing rating from one to three stars. Would have been 5 had it not been for the unnecessary inconvenience.

Its a fine full sized mouse (a bit large for me) for the price but the product is misrepresented on Amazon as "programmable". The keys are not programmable but merely select-able from a defined list of 33 functions (I asked the manufacturer).1. Click, 2. Auto Scroll, 3. Right Click, 4. Back Command, 5. Forward Command, 6. Copy, 7. Cut, 8. Paste, 9. Mark, 10. Double Click, 11. Delete, 12. Open my Computer, 13. Mail, 14. WWW, 15. Scroll Repeat Up, 16. Scroll Repeat Down, 17. Application Switch, 18. Close Window, 19. Scroll Left, 20. Scroll Right, 21. Redo, 22. Undo, 23. Run..., 24. Start Menu, 25. Word, 26. Excel, 27. Power Point, 28. Calculator, 29. Log off, 30. Maximize, 31. Minimize, 32. Zoom -, 33. Zoom +Hope this helps someone in the future .

I very much liked it while it lasted. Unfortunately, like other reviewers on here, my scroll wheel broke after a few months usage. I now need to purchase a new mouse. If I hadn't seen the other reviews with a similar problem, I may have just bought another one. Now, I'm not so sure, I may just go spend a bit more and get a more trusted brand.UPDATE (9/24/25): Eagletec customer service quickly reached out and offered replacement including shipment. I needed a replacement faster than shipping to them and waiting for a replacement, plus I wanted a wireless keyboard running off the same usb plug. Therefor, I ended up not taking their offer. I did find their keyboard/mouse offering and, because of the great price, decided to give it a try. We'll see how that goes. PnP setup was easy and I like the feel of the the products, but longevity is a question that only time can answer.

****UPDATE, NOVEMBER****I've had this mouse for a few months now. It worked great at first but now the dongle has started giving me trouble. Every time I log onto my computer I have to switch the usb port that I insert the dongle into. I have no idea why this is happening. It doesn't effect the functionality of the mouse at all but it is annoying enough that I'm downgrading my rating to only three stars.****UPDATE, SEPTEMBER****When I first got the mouse it didn't work. I contacted the company and they told me to hold the right button and scroll wheel at the same time for 10 seconds and try again. Once I did that everything functioned perfectly (so if you have trouble, try the same thing). Now that its working, it is a very nice mouse. It is a little too big for my hand, but I have small hands. It was also a little too responsive at first (short movements seem to move the cursor more than it should) but that can be adjusted by opening "Devices and Printers", right clicking on the "2.4 G Keyboard Mouse" icon, selecting "Mouse Settings" and changing the pointer speed under "Pointer Settings."I am only giving the mouse 4 stars because I can't figure out how to program the other buttons, but for anyone needing a casual mouse the pre-programmed features will more than suit you, especially for the price.****ORIGINAL REVIEW****First of all, this mouse doesn't come with a battery. You have to go out and buy a single AA battery. Secondly, when I did install the battery and plug in the micro usb receiver, the mouse didn't work at all. When I click the buttons the mouse lights up like it registers the action, but nothing happens on the computer and the cursor does not move around. I have plugged the mouse into two different computers using several different USB ports, so it is definitely a mouse issue. I went to the company website to see if I could find some help, and they suggested installing special drivers. I installed the drivers, restarted my computer, and still nothing. Yes the mouse was cheap, but I still expected it to work. Extremely disappointed. I contacted the company a few days ago and am waiting to hear back. I will update when they respond.

I bought several to use in my elementary classroom. We have had them for over a month and have had no issues with them. They function as they should and are easy to use. I would highly recommend this product to others.Edit: One year later and I am a bit disappointed. They worked great (I have 3 of them) then all of a sudden they went a little haywire. I numbered the mice and their respective USB receivers. Mouse number 2 wouldn't communicate with receiver number 2 and instead was controlling receiver number 3. I cant get any of the mice to communicate with receiver number one. While this is frustrating, this is not the reason I marked a 3 star rating. I am upset because I can find nowhere to get support. I am now down to 2 mice (that ended up spontaneously communicating with each other's receivers). They have held up nicely - and are used on a daily basis by kids. Durable but not reliable.

To start, not being paid for this review.This mouse, the EagleTec 2.4Ghz mouse, is a good little mouse. As it states it's got five buttons, four total usable ones. A DPI setting button. Left and right click. And two NON PROGRAMABLE side buttons.The DPI settings work well, it's a noticeable change between each one. Each button is rated at something like a billion clicks, probably over exaggerating, but hey, they're sturdy enough and seem to be able to last. Onto the side buttons, I've tried as hard as I should have to, to be able to find a way to set these buttons functions, as you can in most newer mice. And I cannot do it. Leading to my title. You get what you pay for.The aesthetic.The mouse has a very nice look and almost perfect feel on my book. I ordered the champagne gold and it is a very clean look. The whole top of the mouse has a matte rubberized feel, which is nice. The left side of the mouse has a great rubber grip that I wish they would have transferred onto the right side, as when you have to reposition the mouse this doesn't help, it's slightly slippery.The actual use of the mouse. The EagleTec worked well for the most part, leaving a bit to be desired on higher DPI settings. On the lower settings it seemed smooth for me, no lagging or the like, primarily gaming and photoshop use. However, on a higher DPI setting, after quick movements there is a noticeable but of lag, but only on a quick gaming movement. If you're just using as a desktop scroller mouse you shouldn't have problems.Pros and ConsPros:Price - At this cheap, you almost can't best it.Look - I think the mouse is very attractive, minus the EagleTec branding at the bottom, but understandable.Weight - The mouse has a good weight with a battery. Not too heavy, but not flimsy feeling either.Cons:USB Dongle - The USB is very flimsy, whether it was just mine I don't know. But after about a week, the plastic came apart from the metal when taking it out of the computer.The Size - Subjective. I thought the mouse was slightly too small. But I have relatively large hands. This is a subjective con.The Right side grip - The non sticky rubber on the right side is a con to me. I would have liked to see it be sticky rubber on both sides.NON PROGRAMABLE BUTTONS - Even for the price, I would have liked to see programmable buttons. That's a must for new mice in my opinion. But again, if you don't need that feature, as they default to page forward and backward in a Web browser, then con doesn't apply to you.Overall given a three star due to the minor foxes that could have happened. Don't get me wrong I like this mouse. Just not for all of my uses. I would get this mouse for my mom and her moderate Microsoft Office use. Not my Battle Field 4 use. But as to be expected.Thanks for reading. Hope I helped in your purchase.

I bought 2 of these because the kids tend to lose them. But they aren't very durable, and one of them got stuck the first time we used it. But they were very inexpensive so I give them 3 stars!

The product works fine however the USB portion disassembled while still attached to my computer.

This mouse worked well, but for less than three months. I got it Jan. 9/17, and about mid-March it started rolling back all the time. You start to scroll down, and it takes you back up. I liked the variable speed, but it's useless now that it won't scroll properly. I had this happen with a different inexpensive mouse before this; I guess I'll have to get a better-quality, more-expensive one.

This is ok. I recommend paying a little more because after the first few weeks, even when I put in a fresh battery, it's a bit sticky in terms of how coordinated/synced up it is between my movement of it with my hand and the cursor on the screen.

Bought this mouse for my youngest daughter and her Laptop. It works as it should and very responsive to movement. It has been 18 months now and it still work like new. The battery life in it is decent, glad we don't have to change the batteries constantly like I have had to do in others. The only concern I had with this mouse is that it does not feel like it is made that great. The mouse is very light, and when I use it, I am afraid to put hardly any pressure on it for fear of it breaking or falling apart. Saying this, it must be better built than it feels since it has lasted a year and half now. I would recommend this mouse. Another huge plus was it was cheaper than other ones you can buy.

As others have said....let's be realistic.....It's under 10 bux. Here are some thoughts on my end -Pro's -Under $10.00 - Great for the average user. I have kids and cant keep anything nice :-)Synced right up to my computer after the drive downloadCool white colorCon's -Cheap plasticPlastic feet, not rubber like I am used too - could cause problems (scratches) on some surfacesInternal red light can be seen through the plastic every time you move the mouseCuts off to "save power" every 30 seconds and you have to hit a "turn on" button to wake it up.......good concept I guess, but for someone reading articles or watching youtube for example, you cant just move the mouse to it's next destination, you have to wake it up first....it's a pain.Other than that......2 hrs in and it is still working, so partial score I guess......

Stopped working after only having for a little over a year..was good when it lasted tho

Stopped working within 2 hours of use. Traded out batteries and tried on different laptops but it did not work.

Manual says sleep function on mouse saves battery instead of on/off switch, and you can click any button to wake it. Left it overnight, clicked buttons, didn't wake. I left the battery out of it for a few hours, worked again. I've been taking the battery out of it every night so it doesn't stop again. Forgot last night, did it again. Had to switch to the trackpad on my laptop. I'm ordering a different brand, and only keeping this one as a backup.

With a brand new laptop I couldn't get the mouse to work. My old Logitech wireless mouse worked in less than a second from time of plugging in the USB toggle. Reasons it didn't get a 1 star, it was really cheap and didn't expect much, it actually did fit hand well and like the look. Plus I haven't tried it on my old laptop yet. Maybe it just doesn't like windows 10. Not worth the time to contact seller.

Failed to light up.I used different batteries and even tried other laptops but this wireless was dead on arrival. Contacted the company & still waiting for a response. You get what you paid for, but I still have hope that they will replace this defective wireless mouse.

I actually really liked this mouse until it fell apart, it is a nice size and fit. However, 5 months of easy use and the scroll button just stopped. It made a little pop noise while in use and wouldn't work after that. I suspect the inside is just very cheap plastic.

It's really lightweight, which may be a plus for some but I prefer my mouse to be a little heavier. It also just FEELS really cheap, and the scroller bar (center button) doesn't really work. It freaks out constantly and I can't scroll through pages reliably. Just buy a Logitech.

Feels great unfortunately it doesn't work w/windows 10

I've been using this mouse daily at work for 6-7 months.Pros:-Great battery life - I've only had to replace it once-Nice size, larger than the typical wireless mouseCons:-Recently (after 6 months of use) the scroll wheel has stopped functioning properly. Trying to scroll down results in erratic motion in both directions.Decent product for the price, but I'm disappointed that I need to buy a new mouse after 7 months. I will most likely purchase a different mouse this time.

Its cute, i LOVE the color- super vibrant and hot hot pink. but it seems to "skip" and makes it feel like the computer is slow. And the scroller flies down the page even when you're trying to go slow. Its something I would expect from a discount/dollar store, which is fine because that's about what it costs anyway. As for design its good except the seam in the middle is slightly uncomfortable for my hand. I am using a chrome book however, that may make a difference but I have not used about USB mouse with this laptop to compare.

I purchased this mouse in December, used it maybe twice a week for 30 minutes at a time to finish paperwork, and it lasted until June. Since I used it so infrequently, I really expected it to last for longer than 6 months... My Logitec wireless mouse at my other computer is over 3 years old and still going strong. The flatness of the mouse is also odd, and it does take a little 'getting used to' if you're used to a reguarly-shaped wireless mouse, but I still liked it until it died on me. I'm really disappointed that I have to order a new mouse so soon, and will not be ordering this one again.

its exactly the way it looks in the picture, very sleek and flat....i liked it the moment i started using it, it was to be an extra mouse for my ultrabook, and it was, for a few hours...i went to use it later that day after i hooked it up...and its like it fell asleep and wouldnt reconnect...laser came on, sensor was properly identified by computer, i checked device manager...and NOTHING!! i gave up and took out the battery and set it aside...but i spun the wheel again and put a battery back in and it started working again for a bit...and stopped again...it must be some weird hardware issue, bc i tried it on 3 different computers, and even tried it on an alternate install of ubuntu on one of my laptops just to check...no dice!!! ehhh, im a little beat on the whole issue...what a let down...oh well... wouldve put 5 stars if it had worked....

I have two of these. One, purchased quite long ago, works fine and, based on that experience, I ordered a second one as a gift for my grandson to be used on his new computer. I placed the order on April 25, 2017 and received two days later on April 27th. My grandson opened the gift on April 30th and found the product to be defective out of the box. When attempting to return the defective mouse, my Amazon orders page says "Return window closed on May 27, 2017." Hey....it's still April 30, 2017 so what's up with the return policy?I'm very disappointed and my grandson is doubly disappointed. Needless to say, we won't be purchasing any additional EagleTec products and you would probably be wise to follow our lead.

This was just delivered today and it's going back tomorrow. Amazon would be well-advised to remove this product from it's sales listings to avoid repeatedly having to pay for return postage for us Prime buyers.I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8 and in the process I discovered that my tried and true Logitech MX518 is now orphaned and Logitech no longer supports that mouse with the version of Setpoint that's Windows 10 compatible (Thanks a pant load for that, Logitech, from whom I've already purchased my last product). So while the mouse still works, I can no longer customize the extra buttons, which renders the Logitech mouse unusable for me. So I went looking for a replacement that also had customizable buttons and decided to give this little EagleTec a try. My reaction in a word: Epic fail! (Ok, that's two words)I initially had trouble getting the computer to recognize the mouse at all. I rebooted, unplugged and replugged the little receiver and eventually removed and reinserted the battery AND replugged the receiver before I could get the cursor to move at all. Unfortunately, then I embarked on a quest to configure the customizable buttons. Talk about a fool's errand. Most places you look, you find that this mouse is referred to as the "5-button mouse", however, clicking on Windows 10's "Start" button and searching for just the number 5 netted me not a single hit. So I went looking for something under the C:\Program Files folder and eureka! I found a folder called (coincidentally) "5-button mouse". Then I went looking for the configuration utility in the folder, except there are no less than 7 .EXE files in that folder! I immediately discerned that the config utility is called KMCONFIG.EXE (I'm quick that way). Except double clicking on the executable resulted in nothing happening and nothing getting loaded, which I confirmed via the Task Manager. So then I ran the Windows 10 Compatibility troubleshooter only to be told that KMCONFIG.EXE is NOT compatible with Windows 10 and also wouldn't run in compatibility mode with any other version of Windows. Well, there goe my custom mouse buttons, which is why I bought the thing to begin with. Then I noticed that the file date on the KMCONFIG.EXE utility was 12/19/2009!, which is when I realized that whoever these EagleTec people are, they're obviously not a class outfit. How many credible companies would dare send out a set of drivers with EXEs and DLLs that all have dates from 2008 and 2009? Heck, one of the files in the folder was called ToggleDesktop and was dated 6/20/2003!!In addition to all of that frivolity, many other reviews talked about the build quality and how the thing broke after just a month or two, even further reinforcing that this thing has nowhere to go but back to Amazon. On a positive note, I'm betting this thing works very well and is 100% compatible...if you're running Windows XP or Vista.So as I said, it's going back as totally incompatible with Windows 10 and a general piece of doo-doo. On the other hand, I

Bought this product just a months ago. Accidently the mouse fell on the floor and the clip of the battery compartment broke away. I was amazed how weak and cheap material this mouse comprised of. It does work fine but had to tape the bottom to make it usable again please I would recommend to spend additional dollars to get something from a reputed brand which I know would not break when hitting the carpet floor.

I have purchased many wireless mice over the years and this was my first experience with one that would not connect. I think there was something wrong with the microreceiver as it never caused the computer to install a driver for it. I am thankful that Amazon is so good about returns. I will order another Daffodil, which is about the same price and I have never had a problem with them. My only problem is that the microreceivers seem to get lost my members of my family.

Disappointed with the size and design of this mouse - but particularly with the hassle trying to get this mouse to pair. The directions are poorly written and we cannot figure out how to get it to pair with my laptop, ipad or PC - even after downloading the drivers. I purchased a B&N bluetooth mouse the same day, which immediately paired without the hassle of going to a website to download drivers etc.and it paired right away; which I expected this one to do. I plan to toss this mouse in the trash and ordering another B&N M3s.

I received the mouse on February 3rd, today is March 24th...it just broke. While I was using the mouse all the sudden I noticed that the scroll wheel started spinning freely and I could not scroll anymore. I disassembled the mouse to find that the spindle that is on the scroll wheel had broken. The spindle goes through a gear-like mechanism which in turn sends the scroll command to the computer. Unfortunately the spindle is too small to make any repair to so the mouse is trash.I use this as my primary desktop mouse, I don't travel with it so there is no excuse for it only lasting through 35 days worth of working (7 work weeks).I'm also very disappointed that I'm not able to find a phone number to call to speak to customer service about this. Hopefully they will read this review and help me replace this defective product.

Well, buyer beware. The USB dongle that comes with this unit is stashed in the battery compartment. It does not fit the slot in the mouse that is obviously designed for a different dongle. Only the second time I attempted to remove the dongle from my computer, It broke apart. I've never had a usb dongle break apart before. But I should have known because one of the other reviews for this product described that exact same thing.So.....I'm returning it. I hope Amazon.com discontinues selling it.

This mouse is a piece of junk, plain and simple. After two weeks of use, there is an issue with the wireless signal between the chip and the mouse. It takes at least five minutes to connect when it should really be an instantaneous connection. There is not an on/off switch, however, there is an activation button since the mouse powers off after not using it for one minute or so. Getting the mouse to reconnect to the receiver takes another five minutes of connection time. Absolutely absurd. Avoid purchasing this mouse.

Out of the box this thing didn't work. Sketchy instructions and very sketchy construction. The only good thing about it is that it's so cheap that it didn't bother me much when I threw it away.

This mouse left tab started to fail after a few weeks use. It somehow would back out of window you were in, or lose your school work. Yes, this (curse word) thing resulted in losing work when cut to past to submit work. Thankfully, I use Google doc and saved automatically. I learned my lesson after losing first class post I typed out and hit submit, then left clicked backed my web browser out. I was frustrated and missed the return window by 5 days. School papers were more important than this return. Eff in avoid this.

This is a terrible product all the way around. The mouse is contoured just enough to not be flat, but not enough to fit into your hand so it's VERY slippery and hard to move around. The size is also extremely awkward, so the placement of the scroll wheel feels unnatural to use The buttons are extremely hard to press compared to other mice, and insanely loud! I wouldn't pay $1 for this let alone 10. I understand you get what you pay for but I have a mouse that I paid the exact same price for at home that runs circles around this thing.

I wish they had negative stars because this doesn't even deserve one star. Yes, its cute, Yes its pretty...but it DOESN'T work except for about 3 days. Within the first day, its hit or miss with actually making a connection to anything on your screen and by the 3rd day it just won't do anything. The SECOND you open the packaging you already KNOW its worse than any kids toy you've ever seen. And I'm being dead serious here. Its beyond an inferior product. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
