> 3 dayThe good: -Mouse looks good and feels good. -Materials seem of good quality. The battery lid is held magnetically which makes it very easy to open and close. - It works very well when connected over 2.4 radio (using the includes wireless usb adapter) The bad -When connected over Bluetooth, it gets extremely laggy and clumsy. I’ve tried reconnecting it, re-installing razer synapse, changing the settings and the dpi sensitivity, all to no avail. -Sometimes it works ok and sometimes as described above, I have not yet figured out what causes this. -The razer synapse software required is very buggy on a mac (no idea how it fairs on a windows system) -No rechargeable battery Conclusion: I was looking for a Bluetooth mouse that I could connect to my touchbar macbook pro easily, hassle free and without occupying any of my usb-c ports. Where it not for the clumsy Bluetooth connection, this mouse would fulfill everything on my list. however, it is very unreliable over Bluetooth and therefore not a very good product for me. Being a razer mouse -razer is a great peripherals company with an excellent track record- I would expect a flawless product. If you plan to use this mouse using the usb adapter, then it should be a good choice for you. note* I’ve read that other users besides me were having similar problems even with apples magic mouse, so part of the problem could be on apple. This review merely states my experience using this mouse on a 2016 15macbook pro. Hope this helps!

> 3 dayI had it for about 3 month - I like it. Battery lasts pretty long time on it. It has option for a Bluetooth or wireless connector connection. I switch it off when I am not using it. Small size and perfect for travel or on the go.

> 3 dayIt works but not as advertised. The 1000hz polling rate only applies if you use the dongle. If you connect via bluetooth, you do not have the option of polling higher than 250hz. Bluetooth was the entire reason I got this thing though. So if I have to use wifi anyway, I may as well get a better mouse. Its not awful. But the batteries are not rechargeable. It only has 5 buttons total. And it is really small. If you have big hands, using this mouse will be a problem. I have average sized hands (well...for my size...Im 62) and for me, this feels really (uncomfortably) tiny. Like, even doing work with it ia awkward...gaming on it would be even more so. If all you want is a basic mouse that is portable and has bluetooth capability, this is probably fine. But $50 seems a little steep for a basic mouse like this. There is really nothing that special about it. No LED lighting, limited buttons, no high polling rate. I ended up returning it. EDIT - I removed the part about Wifi drops. Apparently this is an issue with all bluetooth mice. You can solve it by connecting to wifi at 5ghz (Bluetooth uses part of the 2.4ghz spectrum), and also changing laptop Bluetooth power settings so that they are on preformance all the time (many laptops are configured to try to save power on Bluetooth, but you can override it in settings).

> 3 dayI bought this to replace a beloved Logitech MX Anywhere mouse that died the click death spastic auto-clicker failure. It is likely only in comparison that I find this mouses weakness. The bad: -weight: I dont know why, but this mouse feels plasticy and unbalanced in the hand -scroll wheel: the MX had a wheel-click weighted ratchet/freewheel feature than I LOVED...this doesnt -size: it feels a little smaller in the hand than the MX The good: -Everything else. The lucky: -This mouse has both 2.4 and Bluetooth...my old laptop died since buying this mouse and my new one doesnt have USB, so Bluetooth was a necessary feature, and bonus!

> 3 dayThe mouse is tiny it’s not regular size but it’s wireless I don’t have issues with lag when gaming so no lag in scrolling the only thing I found weird is the usb dongle for 2.4ghz it’s in such a weird spot in the mouse but I’m also not that smart so I thought it was missing. It’s great for regular mouse use and I’m not a pro gamer so it’s great for gaming to for my needs.

> 3 dayAmazing little portable productivity mouse. It comes with a Bluetooth as well as a 2.4hz wireless dongle, so it makes working on 2 separate computers super easy. It’s also pretty durable, It’s been dropped it multiple times from table height multiple times and came out unscathed. The one drawback is that it’s rather uncomfortable for gaming, but that’s to be expected due to its small size.

> 3 dayI first encountered this mouse at Target. I needed a replacement mouse, and this fit my needs. I was shocked at how nice this mouse is. The tactile feel is very nice, the battery life is good. It has a solid weight to it and tracts very well in the hand. The software for the mouse is a bit on the heavy side of things, as the entire Razer ecosystem of products uses the same software. But its just front-end busywork. It doesnt take up a lot of computer resources. I liked this mouse so much, I replaced my desktop mouse with it. Previously I was using a Razer Naga Trinity. But I dont need that much of a mouse for 99% of gaming. World of Warcraft, I used a few buttons more than the basic 5 on most mice. The buttons wore out after about 6 months or so, but its affordable enough to replace. I had a little bit of an issue with my first mouse from Target. The USB receiver broke, the housing came off and it got stuck inside the USB extension dongle that came with it. I had to get pliers to get it out again. I superglued the housing together again and it worked fine ever since. I replaced it after the buttons on the mouse died (Im heavy-handed and click a lot) and its been a very good mouse.

> 3 dayI HAVE GIVEN UP ON THIS MOUSE! It works great for a while. Then it just goes out of adjustment where the scrolling speed up and down AND side to side get CRAZY. The only way to fix it is to unpair it from my computer and then to re-pair it. Then it works fine for days - or longer. But always gets wonky again. So I have gone back to Bluetooth Mouse,Rechargeable Wireless Mouse for MacBook Pro/MacBook Air,Bluetooth Wireless Mouse by Brand Zeru - it cost $12 on Amazon and is rechargeable! Not as ergonomic buts never failed!

> 3 dayThe only reason I dont give it a 5 star is the product and company are slowly dropping support for Mac. This mouse is responsive, accurate, and comfortable. It makes a great replacement for the Logitech m510 which was a disappointment of a mouse. For work and games I need 5 mouse buttons. This mouse has 5 buttons and customization options that allows for programming not just commands but also batch commands. Which was intuitive to setup and very useful for work. If I could ask more out of Razor it would be to include gesture support which this model lacks. Update: Still working great except it no longer works on MAC :(
