ProtoArc EM11 NL Ergonomic Mouse, MINI Wireless Vertical Mouse Rechargeable Optical Mice with Multi-Device (2*Bluetooth + USB Connection), 3 Adjustable DPI for Computer, iPad, Mac, Windows - Blue

I wanted a new mouse as my latest laptop had no USB-A ports. I tried several mice and despite my initial preferences, this was the mouse that I ended up buying; my hand just naturally went to this one. It's just comfortable and the buttons are all in the right place - at least if you are right handed!It is a large, basic mouse, with the usual left click, right click and clickable scroll wheel plus two other buttons for forwards and backwards. There is also a button next to the scroll wheel that allows you to adjust the mouse's sensitivity should you want to (1000/1600/2400 DPI). It came beautifully packaged in a smart box, with charging cable (USB-A to USB-C), Quick Start guide and manual.The EM11 NL weighs 132g (3.9oz), measures 138 x 69.2 x 68.1 mm, and is covered by a two year guarantee.Unlike my friend's Logitech mouse, the buttons aren't programmable and the scroll wheel cannot be set to freewheel, but his cost £70+, while this one cost £19.99 (reduced from £24.99)You can connect this mouse to up to three devices; one via a USB-A dongle and the other two via Bluetooth. Switching is very easy using a pushbutton on the bottom of the mouse.Power is from integral, rechargeable 500mAh battery with a USB-C charging port and a USB-A to USB-C charging cable supplied. Charging takes 2-3 hours, but lasts a long time. A red LED by the scroll wheel indicates if it needs recharging. There is an on/off switch on the bottom that conserves power when the mouse is not in use.

I am rarely moved to review an item, but this mouse is such an improvement on my previous (Microsoft) wireless mouse that I just had to write one.The first nice surprise was that the mouse is rechargeable via a little USB-C port underneath the grip. Having been used to supplying endless batteries for my previous mouse I was really pleased about this.It was really easy to connect the mouse to Windows (using my previous mouse!) via the Bluetooth options in Windows 11, and once connected, it stays connected reliably. This is another bonus as I don't have to use a USB port for the optional included USB receiver, which is slotted into the base of the mouse. I can keep this option handy in case I need to use the mouse elsewhere or on a device without Bluetooth.The mouse itself is incredibly easy to use and comfortable to hold. The curve is perfectly matched to the open grip of my hand, and the buttons are perfectly placed for clicks. The surface material is very smooth yet slightly rubberised so you don't lose contact while using it. Talking of clicks, the mouse buttons are responsive and the clicks are precise yet also soft, so there is less noise than my previous mouse. The mouse is very smooth to move across my desk, and due to this it feels almost weightless, like an extension to my arm. The scroll wheel is responsive, with subtle 'stops' as you turn it, but provides smooth movement through documents or for zooming.The DPI setting, which I haven't adjsted yet as I haven't felt the need, makes the pointer move fluently on the screen, and for this reason I feel I am working more efficiently and smoothly than I was before with my old mouse.Overall I would say this item is exceptional value for money, really well-designed, and I would recommend it highly for anyone needing a new mouse for either productivity or gaming.

It gets rave reviews, it is priced as an adequate price point. I think the reviews are overexcited, but it is a okay product.It arrives with a premium feel, nice box, good design, foiled logo on document folder, etc. The mouse itself does feel solid and very well made - but the weight in the hand is too light for a real premium feel. The soft feel plastic finish looks great, until you hold it once and it becomes shiny and patchy from your hand straight away. Design looks great, and without touching does have a premium look. But the buttons, wheel, etc, do not feel like a solid high end product.If you said this product was designed to sell based on pictures on Amazon, and not from actual use - you would be bang on.Am I being harsh. Maybe, it is still a good 4 start product at great value. But its value is sub £20, but its wanting to be £40-80 (Mutton dressed as lamb maybe?)Durability, it will not last as long as a true premium mouse. But at this price you could easily get another. But... throw away society is something than needs to end (IMO). I would have loved this if priced and set at £30/35 but maybe it would never have succeeded and caught my eye on amazon.Any how - good value, reasonably good build and quality. I am not disappointed, but oh what could have been.
