Razer Atheris Ambidextrous Wireless Mouse: 7200 DPI Optical Sensor - 350 Hr Battery Life - USB Wireless Receiver & Bluetooth Connection - Classic Black

Ive had it for about six months at this point. Heres my thoughts. This mouse sucks at being a daily driver that never leaves your desk, even if you dont game with it. Its small even for my hands (womens medium glove size) and too flat to use a palm grip with. The mouse is also really heavy for its size, since it uses 2 AA batteries. Latency is surprisingly low when using the wireless adapter, but you can get much better wireless performance if youre willing to spend an extra $20. Also a lot of reviews mentioned the dongle falling apart, but Ive never had any issues so its probably a quality control thing. However, most of these flaws make it a fantastic travel mouse. The second battery means that I havent changed the batteries since I got it, using both bluetooth and dongle connection for maybe 5 hours a week for six months. The size makes it perfect to just permanently leave in my bag to use whenever I leave the house. The weight to size ratio is manageable but its a worthy trade for never thinking about my batteries. The sensor works on most surfaces Ive tried it on including those weird rough plastic camping tables. The style is understated enough to where I can use it at work too. It feels well built and has survived being jostled in a backpack for months with no issues. Other things I noticed: - the scroll wheel was really stiff when I got it but its since broken in and feels fine now - same with the mouse clicks, but to a lesser degree - I adore the little magnets that hold the lid in place to access the batteries and dongle - never had any issues with double clicking or any other accuracy issues that Ive noticed - gaming is, well, just okay. Its fine for anything that doesnt require fast movement but theres just a little bit of noticeable latency when using the dongle compared to a better mouse. Dont even try gaming with this on bluetooth. You can get used to it but its worth it to get a wired mouse or a slightly more expensive wireless mouse over this. - the ambidextrous design is a nice bonus for me since I do use my mice on different sides depending on my mood (Im a monster I know), but the back/forward keys are only on one side, so its not truly ambidextrous - having both bluetooth and a dongle is super convenient because it means I can use a dongle whenever I want to play any games, but I can use the bluetooth if Im just sitting at a coffee shop or in class. - it auto-prompts installing razer synapse when you connect it to a windows pc with the dongle for the first time. I dont mind it but forcing the whole software on us is objectively not great Would I recommend this? As your main mouse, nope stay far far away. As a travel mouse, its one of the best ones you can find under $50 and is a huge upgrade from anything in the $10-20 range.

This is the first Razer product Ive tried as Ive been happy with Logitech mice since before optical tracking tech. But in the last couple years, Logitech has disappointed with poor build quality and gimmicky design. It took only about 10 seconds for me to see that Razer has surpassed them in design and build quality. +Wheel feel +Multiple wireless modes +Tacky side grips +Reinforced click switch actuators +Tracking performance +Software UI -Required to register online to use driver software. I think if internet is absent it has an offline mode, but Im still annoyed that Im forced to register an online account to setup my mouse without resorting to workarounds.

the battery life is awesome, i use bluetooth and the dongle both and have no issues. the only thing is that this is smaller than a normal mouse, that can either be a pro or a con. it can be programmed thru razer snyapse and that is a plus for me.

Im a razer fan and have been using Orochi mice for years. New laptop/tablet = new mouse and so I tried the Atheris. Wow! Better battery life and a little better form factor for my hand. Still the same great sensitivity. Pairs flawlessly with my Surface Pro and works on any surface, including my knee if Im working outdoors or in a vehicle. Other people have tried it and been impressed but not entirely comfortable because 1) not everyones hand is the same, so the fit varies and 2) (the usual problem) the sensitivity is too much, but it can be adjusted down. For myself, I am so used to it that I get impatient with less sensitive mice and I dont recall a very long time spent adjusting to the sensitivity when I first used a high-DPI mouse, so I dont hesitate to recommend giving it a go for more than just a few minutes. Needless to say, as I phase out the several older Orochi models I own, they will be replaced with the Atheris.

Really nice mouse, Ive used razor products before and a lot of their mice were too big and bulky or felt odd in my hands. This one is perfect it’s small, it’s light and the batteries last forever. On top of that it doesn’t have all those fancy rgb lights on it Which is awesome, I just wanted a basic fast precise gaming mouse and for the price you really can’t beat it. 10/10

I have 2 of these now - one for me and another for a family member. My family member’s mouse jumps around at times and I’m not sure why. Her mouse pad design has lines that may be causing this, but I have the same mouse pad and have had no issues. Otherwise, it’s a great mouse but the battery drains fast if you don’t turn it off when the computer is off.

It has been everything I needed with a cheap mouse. I needed something that would connect via Bluetooth and I haven’t needed to change batteries yet. I’ve owned the mouse for 6 months and use it for a few hours every day for work. I bought a 2nd mouse because it’s served me well. I keep 1 at work and 1 at home.

Unfortunately, the design is quite weird (for me at least), otherwise this mouse would be higher-rated, its a solid mouse if you like the design, the sensor is great, the feel is nice outside of the design itself, and the connection is solid.

This has been the most stable wireless mouse we have used so far. We have one on each of our Win 10 Pcs. We do not use them for gaming, just regular office applications. I like that software updates automatically download and install. Another positive is one can choose bluetooth or wifi.

Finally I can use a decent mouse without a ridiculous dongle lol
