I was using this mouse only two weeks before it became very glitchy, and within a couple days my computer was pinging noises every few seconds when I tried to use it from it connecting and unconnecting. I checked where it is plugged in, and it is snug. I tried different USB ports, still had the same issue. The cord has not been tugged on, bent, and the mouse has not been dropped. I could understand, maybe, if it was highly abused, but it’s not. 🙁 It is a cheaper mouse, but it’s not worth it to only get two weeks of use out of it. 🙁

I had a total failure of the mouse used for my desktop. It was a microsoft wireless one where a second part was plugged in. The mouse needed periodic battery replacement. Since part of it was plugged in I decided to get a wired mouse that did not need batteries. I found this one had good control, worked well as soon as it was plugged in and have had it for a month. I have a laptop as well with a wireless mouse and requires a small memory stick to be plugged in to a USB port. It did not have very good control and using the small wheel to scroll worked very poorly. Also if watching Netflix it would time out after 10 minutes and I could not pause the movie if I wanted to.
I replaced this with the same type of mouse I had just purchased for my desktop , and again it had good control, the thumb wheel scrolled properly and it does not time out. Occasionally it quits so I unplug it and plug it back in and it works normal again . I don’t know it this is the mouse or just the USB port but it is still a lot better than the previous one.

I have small hands and even for me it’s too small, its really flat so sometimes you end up pressing both buttons at once when moving it and I find my thumb and pinky dragging on my mousepad because of how low it is. Might be good for a child. Other than that the texture is nice and smooth, the buttoms feel good, and the wheel rolls nice and clicky, like soft clicking not annoying or rough. Overall it’s good quality, doesn’t feel cheap. Just be aware that it’s really small.
On the pictures I added the one on the left is a really basic logitech and the one on the right is the amazonbasics

There’s a difference between a product being inexpensive and cheap. This Amazon Basics mouse was just cheap. It had the sensitivity of a sledgehammer. Even a mouse from the 1980s that required a mouse pad performed better than this junk. I returned it to Amazon and bought a branded product for better performance and superior quality. Zero stars.

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.

I wasn’t sure what I would get when I ordered this but I was pleasantly delighted with the mouse. It has a good hand feel and is a perfect basic mouse….no unneeded features (as in gamers look elsewhere). I buy corded mice as I am disabled and confined to a hospital bed so that when I inevitably drop them, I can haul them back up by the cord. My last two mice were Microsoft branded and I was always dropping them…I think they were a bit top-heavy. But this mouse is a delight in the hand…and I haven’t dropped it once since I got it! I am ordering two more for spares.

Bonjour je partage avec vous mon expérience pour cette souris de marque amazon basics qui ma agréablement surpris .
je rechercher une souris de dépannage car en temps que gamer je veut prendre le temps de trouver une bonne souris par la suite . faisant plusieurs genre de jeux elle ma agréablement surprise par sa qualité.
les 1000 dpi sont pour mois plus que satisfaisant il est rare de monté a plus de toute façon. elle n’a pas de temps de latence, ne décroche pas , les boutons gauche et droit semble de bonne qualité, et réagisse directement .
convient pour des jeux fps, survival horreur ,aventure ou action…
pour le prix je suis plus que étonné voir même a garder celle-ci plutôt que de prendre une souris gamer par la suite.

THERE WAS NOTHING I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS MOUSE SO FAR I DON’T KNOW IF IT WILL GIVE ANY PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD BUT I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT AT LEAST FOR A FEW YEARS. — IF THIS MOUSE LASTS FOR 3 YEARS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS USING IT 5 HOURS A DAY YOU SHOULD CHARGE 40 DOLLARS FOR THIS MOUSE PERIOD !!!
HAVE A NICE DAY AMAZON ——- SINCERELY JOHN BAZZANELLA —— ALSO I THINK IF YOUR CAREFUL WITH THIS MOUSE AND DON’T CLICK ON IT HARD BY ABUSING IT —- I’M SURE YOU COULD GET AT LEAST 4 OR 5 YEARS OF USE OUT OF IT USING IT 6 HOURS DAY WITH OUT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT LIKE FAULTY RESPONSE ETC.

Mouse di AmazonBasics di ottima qualità, così come la sua forma, che favorisce la distensione del polso senza far stancare la mano. Le ridotte dimensioni lo rendono ideale per l’utilizzo da parte di una donna o persone con mano di medie dimensioni. La superficie del mouse è opaca, e pertanto previene l’accumulo della sporcizia. Se questa mia recensione vi è stata di aiuto potete farmelo sapere cliccando sul tasto “Si”.

Leichtgängige Maus. Gleitet ganz sanft über mein Kunststoff-Pad im Gegensatz zu der Maus, die ich vorher hatte und bei der die Filz-Füße schon weggewischt waren.
Bei der AmazonBasics Maus sind die Füße kaum spürbar und scheinen aus Kunststoff zu sein.
Das Klicken ist allerdings etwas lauter als bei meiner früheren Maus. Ich habe nun schon ein paar Stunden damit gearbeitet und muss sagen, dass mich das laute Klicken nervt.
Werde weitersuchen nach der perfekten Maus.
Update 1.03.2019 :
Habe eine sehr gute und leise Maus gefunden, mit der ich super arbeiten kann:
Logitech B110 Silent – Black – EMEA (12,67€)
Die Logitech B110 ist mein Favorit unter 4 getesteten Mäusen. Getestet habe ich die AmazonBasics USB-Maus, die Logitech B110 Silent, die Logitech M220 Silent Kabellos und die Philips M100 Maus.

Ergonomic and health fail.
It hurts to use it. It hurts all the time now.
I have developed chronic wrist pain from this mouse – the problem being that it is just too small to fit in my hand so my hand has to be held awkwardly poised to use it, this has led to a chronic bad wrist pain. On my old mouse my hand sits rested and at the right size – on this one it’s cramped and awkward – it’s completely different.
MOUSE SIZE:
Correct mouse size = your hand rests comfortably and sits over the contours of the mouse.
Incorrect mouse size = your hand has to “poise” over the mouse – this leads to problems with the body.
I’m going to give it a one star as I am going to have to discard the mouse/s and purchase brand new ones of a more normal size, and because who knows how many weeks or months this pain is going to last now. I think that this mouse was designed to be economic and affordable by using minimal materials and at a smaller scale than normal but unfortunately in so doing it has this fatal flaw (unless perhaps you have small hands)

PROS.
I needed a mouse for my laptop for quite some time and after spending quite a bit of time searching on the internet, I happened to come across this product. Very cheap product and does everything an average user could possibly need/want. I’ve only had it for a week, but I’m already used to the size, feel and structure of the device. Been using it for 7-9 hours a day and it’s just perfect.
CONS.
This may sound trivial to most people, but this product definetly needs a mouse pad to be used alongside it. When I first plugged in the device and began using it, I noticed there was quite a bit of response lag with using the mouse on a normal table surface. I guess I was surprised because I’ve never had to use a mouse pad for any of my previous mouses. Luckly I had a pad lying aorund the house and everything was resolved.
Overall, GREAT purchase. Has made my daily tasks much simpler.

I was really liking the DELL MS116 for about $22 on Newegg.ca because I liked the control, but then I decided to try this AmazonBasics mouse for a temporary mouse until I find a wireless one. However, I ended up loving this one so much that I’m using it at home for work as well as video games, and at the office.
•I love the silicon-like texture, as it gives great grip and is pretty debris-proof.
•For under $10 CAD, this is a steal.
•Most importantly, this is the best control I’ve ever had for a mouse. My movement and clicks go exactly where I intended them to go in a smooth and timely manner.
This is the best mouse I’ve ever used.
Update: September 18, 202
Just for your information: This mouse is losing its response; so that’s a life span of about 18 months in my anecdote.
