MicrosoftRJN-00014 Bluetooth Mouse - Blue Star

Great mouse, connects via Bluetooth so doesn’t need its own dongle and battery life is great. Used every day for months without needing to change the battery. Works really well on all sorts of surfaces, and comfy to hold.

Okay, in some ways I'm a bit of a luddite because I find that using a laptop trackpad can be awkward and so I prefer using a mouse. I just find that a mouse suits my needs better.I was a bit aprehensive about this Microsoft mouse at first, having tried cordless mice ( or maybe it should be mouses? ) in the past which always seemed to have some problem or another which in turn made using them a bit of a pain.Not so with this one.As soon as I removed the strip which lets the battery power up the mouse, a message popped up on my laptop which connected the mouse straight away - and ever since then I've not needed to do a single thing with the mouse other than use it. It reconnects when I start my lappy so that it's ready to use straight away, and if the batteries last anything like as long as I'm led to believe I shall be a happy convert to using this Microsoft bluetooth mouse.Update January 2024:It looks like I'm not the only one that likes these mice, because I've had to buy two more for other family members that like them so much they wanted one too. And I've not had to change the batteries in mine yet 7 months in; impressive.

I was concerned that the glossy top surface would not grip well, however this proved not to be the case.Smaller than what I am used to but much easier to carry around with a laptop.Does not contain any type of USB adapter if your laptop does not have Bluetooth - watch out.It is responsive and a worthy replacement to my 20 year old USB Microsoft Optical mouse that finally gave up. The old one was better than most modern cheap USB mice on market still, so had to go for a Microsoft one to try and replace like for like.Worked perfectly on my Mac Book and Windows Laptops and it is nice to finally be USB cable free.I will now commit the old mouse to the drawer of broken tech in a modest ceremony. No flowers.

Pros:Astounding Battery Life: I'm genuinely impressed by the battery life of this mouse. After a year of regular use, the battery level is still at 80%. It's almost magical how infrequently I need to charge it.Compact and Modern Design: The mouse boasts a sleek, modern design that's both stylish and ergonomic. It comfortably fits both left and right hands, and the range of available colors allows you to pick one that suits your personal style.Versatile Tracking: It works seamlessly on various surfaces, ensuring that your mouse is always ready for action.Precision Scrolling: Navigating documents and web pages is a breeze thanks to the precision scroll feature. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference in day-to-day use.Effortless Connectivity: Connecting to a Windows laptop is a breeze through Bluetooth 5.0 LE. It's a quick and hassle-free setup, requiring no additional dongles or cables.Longevity: Again. MAGIC. Really good materials too.In summary, the Microsoft Wireless Mouse with Bluetooth Connectivity is a reliable and stylish peripheral. Its exceptional battery life, versatile tracking, and user-friendly features make it an excellent choice for anyone in need of a dependable mouse for their Windows laptop.

This is my second one of these and is ideal for a modern laptop that uses USB C and where you don't want to have a dongle permanently plugged in.It works great and no issues at all. Not sure how long ago my previous one lasted but that developed a fault after several years whereby the left click started registering as a double click. I'd say it worked well for a good few years at least so generally happy with the lifespan of daily use if it lasts three years.As you would expect from Microsoft... build quality is good, battery life is great as are the ergonomics. I'd happily buy again.

Good price, easy to connect and mouse does exactly what you want, easy to spot which mouse is mine with the colour as well

this is a complete waste of money, size is big, and noisy click sound, did not expect a poor quality product from microsoft, disaster.

Microsoft mice are always good and this one is no exception. So far the battery is holding up well. As laptops often have only 1 or 2 USB sockets it's an advantage using bluetooth in place of a dongle. However, if it's not moved for a while it takes a second to 'wake up', which one has to get used to.
