Bought a teknet bluetooth mouse for 11 usd...multi device (Bluetooth + 2.4ghz). Has worked well for me. This after two decades of pumping $$ into logitech..lately their mouse just go bad with the buttons. Planned obsolescence...minimal usage and within 6 months, mouse goes bad (m720, g502, mx, mx2, - every mouse went bad between 4-10 months). 6 years, 10 mouses whereas a simple Dell that came with my work laptop where I spend more time is chugging along for 3 years.

Coincidence here, I have a bunch of Logitech mouses that I prefer, but needed a cheaper mouse that isn't tiny which I can throw in my laptop bag for the days im in the office. I searched a lot and went with the same technet one you mentioned and absolutely love it. It fits my big hands well and was only $10 all in. I'm not sure about other non-logitech mouses, but the technet one has a great balance of a size, build quality, sensor, smooth glide, and battery.

Logitech is great, especially when you can find a deal but that technet one smokes anything for the price.

Garbage mouse tbh. But for the price, there are worse.

If you absolutely need a mouse and can't find more change in your couch cushions to buy a proper mouse, then this is ok.

The mouse double clicks on me all the time, feels incredibly light and if you click too hard, the mouse button will pop out of the socket and cause a misclick.

This price is about right for this junk mouse

Does this mouse have hyper-scroll? I am looking for a mouse in this size, hyper-scroll, preferably bluetooth. Can anyone recommend something, which is not logitech?

Just an FYI - it's a good mouse, but it's also super small. I don't have big hands but even my palm can cover the entire mouse's surface.

2 x AAA battery included; battery lasts approximately 6 months for 2.4Ghz and 5 months for BT mode, with an average of 2 hours of use per day for 20 working days;

any basic Logitech mouse will outlast this thing, using only 1 battery.

I've been wondering the same. I only buy Logitech mice now because of the ability to toggle hyper-scroll. Would be nice to have a cheap alternative to keep at my office, etc.

These cheap mice 🐁 are awesome 👍 because they use 💉 the standard mouse 🐭 hooks 🪝 and buttons can be tweaked ☕️ using X mouse button control in windows 🪟. I remap my buttons with delayed button holds and chording. You can even use it to increase your scroll 📜 speed 💨. I use an autohotkey script called dragtoscroll to right click drag-scroll

With logitechs you have to use their software to activate the buttons.

2.4g goes through your entire body as opposed to 5 ghz which only penetrates the skin.

Wouldnt buy or ever use 2.4 wireless for anything ever.
