Wireless Mouse, Ergonomic Silent Quiet Low Profile USB Thin Slim Travel Portable Cordless Mice Nano Receiver Battery Powered Flat for Mac Computer PC Surface Laptop MacBook iMac White Silver

This is my 2nd Fenifox mouse and they work great!

I usually use another brand of mouse and/or keyboard, but had the option to try this FENIFOX Wireless Mouse. It had the ergonomics I prefer, thin & sleek. I was looking forward to using it. So, I received it and the first thing that surprised me was it arrived not in a retail-friendly package. It came in just a plain brown carton, nothing more. Again, it surprised me, but I wasn't concerned. Yet Read the instructions (Yes, I know. It was only a mouse. I just tend to do read instructions first. What a concept, huh?). Then tried to open the panel underneath to insert batteries (mine. batteries were not included), then to pull out the Nano receiver to insert into the computer's USB port. NOTE: The panel was a bit stuck to the point where I thought it could actually snap in half if I pulled to hard. I kept gently pulling it until it released (WHEW!) So, I inserted the batteries and then looked for the Nano receiver. WAIT! There is NO Nano receiver. Where it should have been was just an empty slot. (SIGH!) Sure makes it hard to use a wireless mouse without (GASP!) the piece that wirelessly connects it to the computer. Not quite sure what to use it for now. Dog toy? Target practice? Door jam? Needless to say, if I could rate it with zero stars, I would.

As far as a 2 button with scroll wheel wireless mouse goes, this is as good as any. So I will note only some special points to note: Buttons on the mouse: 1. DPI button just below the scroll wheel. It just cycles through the 4 DPI settings. You press once and it flashes 1 to 4 times depending on the current DPI set. Press it once more, it goes to the next higher setting (if already in 4, goes to 1). Not sure about the DPI selecting, but the speed of the mouse pointer (range of the motion) changes obviously as the DPI changes.. 2. The left button: I can't make out what that is for. Turns out it is a audio mute on/off button. 3. There is a power on/off switch at the bottom of the mouse. Please turn that off after use and before packing. One other quirk I have to note: If you don't use it for some time while working on the computer, mouse goes to sleep :) I thought I have to power cycle the mouse, but turns out that motion does not wake the mouse, but the left or right button wakes it up. For travel it is ok, but if you are used to ergonomic mice like me, it is a bit disappointing but expected... ( I love my usual Logitech MX3 mouse for ergonomics, but this will do nicely for travel).

I've tried many budget-friendly mice. Most are about the same with the main difference being the actual design of the mouse and what extra buttons it has. If you shop around you'll find that many of these mice have a physical switch on them that allows you to change the DPI (mouse sensitivity) between 800, 1200, and 1600 DPI. This particular mouse goes one step further and has a fourth option: 2400 DPI. For me this is the killer feature of the mouse as I am used to high speed gaming mice and can't stand it when the pointer moves very slowly, requiring you to move your hand more to cover the same distance on the screen. In the box you'll get the mouse, the USB-A receiver module (which stores neatly in the bottom of the mouse when not in use) and a small instruction booklet. The mouse requires 2 AAA batteries which are not included. Since the mouse doesn't use rechargeable batteries there's no charging cable to keep track of. I actually prefer this for a travel mouse since you can quickly switch out the batteries if needed and can easily find AAA batteries if you happen to run out while on a trip. The mouse has a very low profile design and looks very similar to an Apple Magic Mouse. I usually do not like the Apple Magic Mouse, but I think it's mainly because the Magic Mouse has a very low DPI. The 2400 DPI setting on this mouse makes it much better even if the design is similar. Since the mouse sits very low you might find that the scroll wheel is not at the ideal height and that you'll have to stretch your finger a little but to reach it, but I didn't find this to be a huge issue. The slim design and lightweight plastic may make the mouse seem low quality at first, but it works great and is perfect for travel since it only weighs 2.6 ounces with the batteries installed and the USB receiver stored inside of it. Setting up the mouse is super easy. Simply remove the receiver module from the bottom of the mouse and plug it into your computer. Then turn the mouse on by using the power switch on the bottom. That's all there is to it! The power switch is nice because you can easily turn the mouse off when you put it in your bag for travel. When the mouse is in use it will automatically go into a power saving mode if it hasn't been used in a few minutes. To wake it up you simple click any of the buttons. The mouse has the standard two buttons plus a scroll wheel which is clickable as a third button. Behind the scroll wheel is a small button that cycles through the DPI settings. Whenever the mouse is first turned on it will reset to 1200 DPI. Clicking the button once goes to 1600 DPI, clicking it again goes to 2400 DPI, and click it again cycles back around to 800 DPI. So for me I just click the button twice anytime I turn the mouse back on so it goes to 2400 DPI which is the ideal speed that I am used to. There is also a small button on the left side of the mouse. Pushing this button mutes and unmutes the sound on your computer. I tested this with both Windows and Mac computers and it functions the same on both. It's an odd inclusion but isn't really in the way even if you never use it. Overall this is one of my favorite inexpensive mice. I highly recommend you look for a mouse like this that both has adjustable DPI settings via a physical button (no software needed), and also goes up to 2400 DPI.
