Cheap and functional

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024

I bought this for my son to use at school with his school laptop. The price was good so I didn’t have to worry about the mouse being moved around a lot in his classroom and backpack. The cord was a bit long so I used a rubber band to shorten it for him but it wasn’t too much trouble.

My laptop didn’t like it

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024

For whatever reason the software associated with this mouse had a glitch or something. I got a blue screen error that would make my laptop restart. The 2nd time, it wouldn’t shut off at all. When I used the QR code to find out why it indicated that it may have been due to a hardware or software issue. The mouse was the only thing new and never seeing this before, I assume it was due to the new mouse. I chose to return the mouse and got one like the one I had before

The "Bring Home the Bacon" Work Mouse: A No-Frills, Excellent Daily Driver.

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024

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.

Doesn't require you wasting batteries

We noticed our wireless mouse was burning through batteries. Tried to shop for a mouse with a wire outside Amazon. They are obsolete. Amazon came to our rescue. The mouse is of sturdy construction and performs like it should at a great price.

Inexpensive and Good

I regularly use dozens of mice across my various work, lab, laptop and home machines ranging from the $100 Logitech MX Master 3 on primary desktops to specialized Bluetooth mobile micro mice on the go. However, for convenience, I also like to keep a decent mouse connected to devices I don't use too often such as a media server in my home theater, a Raspberry Pi running a firewall in a closet or an emulation PC in an arcade cabinet. For that, I need wired five-button wheel mice that are inexpensive, reliable, compatible across disparate devices and absent glaring flaws.

There are lots of cheap mice but they too often have high failure rates, poor mechanical durability or some other annoyance such as cords shorter than 6 feet, slider pads closer to sandpaper than Teflon or power-sucking LEDs. This mouse hits the sweet spot for my needs. It's well-built for this price category, medium-sized, has a standard ergo-ish shape and no weird design quirks such as odd textures or trying to look like a trendy 'leet' gamer mouse.

I also appreciate that it doesn't have rubber grips on the sides. On too many cheap mice with rubber grips, the rubber starts getting tacky after a few years due to the oils surfacing. It's not a problem on >$50 mice because they are using higher quality materials but under $25 I prefer no grips.

Works Well With Our Chromebook

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024

Size: SingleStyle: Wired MouseVerified Purchase

Our 9 YO son uses our Chromebook often and sometimes he needs more control than the track pad can give him so I got this for him to use and it works perfectly. It has held up so well in the time we have had it and seems decently sensitive and responsive, for the needs of a 9 YO. He isn't doing g anything that needs ultra precision so I can't attest to that. It is easy for him to plug in when he needs it and unplug easily as well.

Awesome value, did not need a mouse with all kinds of fancy features just a basic functioning mouse. Works perfectly for what was needed.

Cheap and works well, will report back on reliability

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2024

Size: SingleStyle: Wired MouseVerified Purchase

I have three computers I use often, a work laptop, a gaming laptop, and a home gaming pc. I wanted the same mouse feel for all of them, having different mice just made it feel 'off' when switching computers. I bought a few different mice, some nice gaming mice and some cheaper alternatives, and they all let me down. All the gaming mice and most others nowadays seem to have the single plastic top where the finger parts just bend down to click a button. I have grown to detest that. Even when new it was sub-optimal, but they seem to go bad way too quickly. I've been dealing with mouse-slips playing on chess.com a lot lately and I don't want to spend $300 every 6 months to get new mice.

I just started using the three of these mice I bought and like them quite a bit. The buttons feel so good after the other mice... I know exactly when I click and don't have to worry about the sensor thinking I let go of a button. Even if they aren't any more reliable than the others, I'm willing to spend $21 every 6 months for new mice. I'm thinking of buying three more right now just so I can have some spares.

Works great using MacOS

I plugged this into an iMac as my magic mouse went bad and I was tired of changing batteries anyway. This was immediate plug & play and all buttons and scrolling works perfectly without any special configuration.

Feels good and works exactly like I had hoped.

Budget wired Amazon mouse

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024

Size: SingleStyle: Wired MouseVerified Purchase

Fantastic budget wired Amazon mouse! Previously used wired mouse of these brands, some less or more expensive but none were as ergonomic feeling, sleek or sensitive/precise. Also tried Bluetooth and wireless but they have their own issues with charging or battery changing. For the price and functionality, it’s excellent value!
