Back to the wired days

Back to the wired days
I didn’t expect to ever buy a wired USB mouse again, having disposed my last few ones quite a few years ago. But all of a sudden I found myself desperately in need of a friendly-priced, trustworthy mouse as due to the virus I’m not allowed to go back to the office and pick one up there. This Amazon basic type does what it says on the tin and looks reasonably sturdy. It also has a scrolling middle button.There are perhaps a few small downsides; first of all, I'm not sure if it's really an 'ergonomic' mouse. It holds perfectly fine, feels fairly light and looks very much like the less expensive Windows mouses from the 1990's. But I wouldn't say there are ergonomic benefits as the listing text suggests. Also it has this "Amazon-basics" label printed on top, so that everybody can see that you didn't want to spend money on your mouse. I would stress that I don't mind these small issues and they are justified by the very acceptable price. Moreover, for me it was quite a relief that it arrived quickly and that it could be put into action swiftly in a plug-and-play manner.My mouse-problem started when the firm decided that I have to work from home now on a shift basis. A welcome change of daily routine it seemed to me.But then the actual challenges emerged. They’ve only equipped me with my laptop that I can strictly work from. Apparently it’s a fairly high-end laptop with touch screen, but frankly, I always hate to work on it; the resolution and screen-width are below my and most modern standards. So I have been slouching over my tiny laptop keyboard and mediocre-resolution screen for a few days, quite a tiring, claustrophobic experience. But what makes it even more frustrating is the touchpad control and the lack of a mouse to quickly swap between windows and apps. And without a mouse I’m not able quickly transfer information between applications very quickly and effectively.. aside from constant frustrations this really slowed me down.So this part of my working from home challenges was quickly and very satisfyingly solved with this traditional but very effective mouse that I would simply recommend; it is basic but good and appropriately priced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honestly the best office mouse out there
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2024
Size Name: 1-PackPattern Name: SingleVerified Purchase
Do not be fooled by the fact that this is Amazon own brand or that it is labelled as a "basics" product. This is genuinely one of the best, most comfortable mice I've ever used.

The clicks are unbelievely smooth and do not give off that usual horrible click that mice are known for. I've owned mine for around 2 years and it hasn't failed me a single time and shows no sign of faltering any time soon. The sensitivity is perfectly set without any need of adjusting.

The wire length is more than sufficient and the feel of the moust really is premium. Any time somene asks me for recommendations, I send them this immediatelly and I only ever get good feedback.

The price is insanely good. This obviously wouldn't be suitable for gaming as it doesn't have additional side buttons but amazing for an office job.

Fellow Dads,feast your eyes on the Amazon Basics Mouse – the trusty steed in the realm of everyday digital hustle. This isn't just a mouse; it's a testament to the "get-er-done" ethos that powers through spreadsheets, homework, and those endless email threads with the finesse of a well-oiled machine.

Let's cut to the chase: it's ultralight, making you wonder if Amazon discovered anti-gravity tech. Yet, it feels as reliable as that old family wagon, boasting a solid one-piece construction that resonates with a reassuring solidity at every tap. The clicks? They're the muted thuds of determination, ensuring you can work through nap times without waking the baby. And the scroll wheel, with its gentle rumbles, feels like cruising down the information highway with the top down.

I've plugged this trooper into every computer in the house, tested it on desks, different pads, and even the kitchen counter – it just works. The cable's as steadfast as your commitment to Sunday family brunch, and the glide pads beneath? They ensure smooth sailing across many different landscapes, minimal yet mighty.

"Made in China," this mouse doesn't shy away from its roots, delivering an affordable, no-compromise tool that checks every box. Medium-sized for universal fit, it's the Goldilocks of mice - not too big, not too small, just right for the bulk of the population.

Why did I buy a case of 30? Because when you find something that works this well at keeping the daily grind moving, and need an affordable mouse this is it! It's the workhorse mouse that metaphorically "brings home the bacon," fueling your day without draining the wallet.

Initial look: for the huge selection of mouse out there this does not fall short for what you pay and what you get with the soft touch paint solid construction, high-quality wiring, good plug pads, decent laser, tracking, muted, click buttons muted, scroll wheel, and good size makes it a good purchase. Hope this is helpful in your decision. More updates to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap and effective

I wanted a cheap mouse for my laptop and decided to go with Amazon's basic mouse. It is lightweight, ergonomic and both buttons and scroll wheel are highly responsive. It is a nice compact size and due to it being wired I never have to worry about replacing a battery. It is also very lightweight and glides across my mousepad. It moves the cursor quickly and accurately for both work and playing video games.

If you need a cheap, reliable, accurate, compact mouse there is no other alternative. It will arrive quickly as it is an Amazon product and your guaranteed a decent quality. I would highly recommend this mouse to both workers and gamers.
