Battery Life

Pros:

• "Running on batteries - which will likely not run out in my lifetime."
• "It rarely needs a battery replacement since it sleeps while it is just sitting there."

Cons:

• "The mouse CHEWS through batteries! From the beginning, this has disappointed me. Every 45 days like clockwork...... 2 more AAs."

• "The one complaint I have is battery life. It was advertised to have a 24-month battery life but I am closer to one week."

• "It easily pairs with multiple machines (one at a time, of course), and has been reliable."

Cons:

• "The Bluetooth connection randomly cuts out and the mouse stops working."
• "Drops the connection to my 2019 MacBook Pro many times every day."
• "When the battery gets low it doesn't always connect."

Design & Ergonomics

Pros:

• "Inexpensive, fits well in my hand, and works with my MacBook."

Cons:

• "The mouse is HUGE, I wear X-Large gloves for work and sports and this mouse was more than a handful."
• "It is bulky, it takes 2 AAs not one."
• "The side buttons can be easily touched and pressed accidentally."
• "It is a nice design, it has good features but it has a very imprecise movement."
• "The mouse is made from smooth plastic, making it difficult to hold onto."
• "The mouse also hurts my hand to hold it in the intended way."
• "I didn’t know I could actually dislike a mouse. First of all, it takes TWO AA batteries. For a mouse?! Why??"
