Wired mouse in..... 3.....2......1

Lol, you must really struggle with the keyboard, then...104 keys and only 10 fingers!

You clearly know nothing!

Got it and I think it's crap personally. Movement is far too jerky which makes it inaccurate, i.e.- hard to use.

Maybe it's just that I'm using ubuntu I dunno but it's pretty bad. And sometimes it moves the cursor without me touching it.

​What do you mean £3, seriously?

If I had that attitude with everything I purchased online and let it slide each time some dodgy seller thought he could get away with sending me useless junk... I reckon my unclaimed money would amount to the cost of a decent tablet each year.

Id personally rather have a new tablet every year than a horde of junk and be out of pocket.

Another just arrived.
I've played with it a little bit and can say I'm pleased considering the price. As others have said it's a little bit on the light side and unlike the similar item mentioned at the top of this thread the lighting can't be changed. If you bought the similar Amazon item then you can press and hold the forward button to either change light colour or turn it off.

The double click button is proving a nice feature for semi-automatics in game. Scroll is a bit light in resistance but seems to be working well so far. Will need to give the mouse a bigger runout with a decent mouse matt to test its feel for accuracy as currently I'm not getting a smooth movement due to my table(coming from a tracker ball mouse).
For general PC use this mouse is working perfectly. DPI changes are pretty obvious and 5500dpi is proving great for moving about on my dual monitor setup, takes all the effort away.

Generally speaking this is good value for money if you are a casual gamer. If controlling the colour is something you want or you require the mouse to arrive quicker than 3 weeks then I would go for the amazon option.

So my mouse just arrived also, approx. 3 weeks after the order date. I’d note it took them about a week to actually go and deliver it which was pretty poor. Anyway, it has made it here, I ordered two and they came in a bubblewrap envelope with each being inside a small cardboard box – both seemed intact.
Only tested one mouse so far, but it seems pretty good.

Pros:
Cable is sturdy
All buttons seem to work, and feel responsive enough
Has its rainbow lights

Cons:
USB head is massive and cheap
Mouse wheel is a bit lacking in resistance
Ergonomics are terrible. It fits your hand nicely if you want to palm it around, but if you want to pick it up this is pretty tricky due to the way it fans out at the bottom. Bizarre choice given how light it is – typically mice you would pick up are light and mice you would palm are heavy. I’d also note it isn’t very evenly weighted with more weight being distributed towards the rear.
Unsure how (or if) I can change the lighting or DPI settings – no software was included
No indication of what the current DPI is – while I can confirm it does change as you click it (between 4 settings), there is no LED or anything to indicate which setting you are on.

All this being said, it’s worth remembering that I’m evaluating a mouse that is less than £3, not a £20-50 mouse. I’d say it’s definitely worth the money and give it 4/5 stars. Will I actually use it/replace my current mouse with it? Unsure, probably not. That being said, it won’t hurt to have it as a spare, or use it as a mouse for LAN parties or something.

Received mine today after 3 weeks. My opinions on it so far:

Even though it looks cool, it feels cheap and tacky.
Very light and ....empty :/
The left mouse button needs to be clicked hard and at a certain point in order to get get a response (not sure if it got bounced about during delivery).
Also, back and forward buttons feels unresponsive.
The packaging was poor, basically no foam or protective bubble-wrap to keep it in place. (Was in a plastic bag inside a flimsy bent cardboard box).
Unless there is software to adjust lighting and dpi, (which I'm not sure exists) I'm unable to change it :disappointed:

So Final Verdict: Even though it's really cheap, I wouldn't recommend it as a fully functioning everyday use mouse. And the time it took for delivery and price I can't even be bothered returning it for a refund. Looks like it'll be gathering dust like the rest of my overseas products I bought on the cheap cheap :disappointed:

Mine arrived today, 2 weeks to the day that it was ordered. Looks very substantial and seems to be working OK.The lead looks very strong. Can recommend.

Did anyone else get sent a picture of their parcel? Whilst I understand why they do this it's not a good idea to publish peoples names and addresses on the internet like that.

What's wrong with this one?

Just wondering if there was any real difference as there's a few mouses on that site around £3

One of the good reasons for using PayPal

dont trust gearbest, as a security in payment they wanted all kinds of unusual proof like picture of debit cards and so on.

Worth a punt @ £2.91

Used paypal, hopefully the safe option.

I used once Aliexpress and I received the items but I am concerned about the card details as they do not use encryption when you pay. Is a big risk and also they do not have the option to delete the card details from hteir website although your details can be exposed to anyone.

Cost me £2.91, deal is a lie clearly.

Heat added, given it a punt and bought two of them to see how they are. My current mouse is a similar no-brand £10 affair (after trying several £40+ mice which I couldn't get along with) and has been fantastic so I'm optimistic about this one!

bought, its £3 between, worth a try, never know when ur mousi dies -.-

I like that they felt the need to write the words "gaming mouse" on it. I hope they do a matching keyboard with "gaming keyboard" on it ;-)

These are awful, there is a reason they are this cheap.
Got a refund on mine, as it was very poor

Bloody hell bought this off amazon 4 months ago for £9.99 GRRRRRR

Edit OK £8.99

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JZLO1QE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Coming up as 3 quid on paypal not that I'm that bothered about 10p.

thanks OP for the post

seven buttons? but I only have five fingers on my right hand. far too complex for me.

I am using one of these mice right now. Works fantastic. Great value. I paid about double this too! Got mine from amazon a few months ago. If anyone has any questions let me know.

I'm just messing with you.

Obviously people's criteria differs, I personally didn't feel £2.90 was much of a gamble to be honest :smiley:

Well.. Crack on, enjoy your wondering... Meanwhile COLD from me! :laughing:

Well they have a Trustpilot score of 3.9, I was just wondering if you would possibly avoid them? What would that equate to as an eBay feedback score?

What about them?

What about Pixmania?

YES, and if a large eBay seller had a 82.8% rating i would think twice about using them as well...

You'd avoid a Trustpilot score of 8.7, with over 3000 reviews?

I'd avoid :laughing:

Those positive ratings don't look as convincing as the negative ones.

I think it's £3 on Banggood too

The website is not safe. http://www.scamner.com/check/gearbest.com

I think this is the zelotes mouse, there are loads of rebrands of it.

cool looking mouse with cool feature which is one click gives you double click! you will wish you can swallow that mouse

will have a punt on this for the price :smiley: heat

I like the way it lights up! HOT!

Again nothing for left hand geniuses.

This is really cheap..

Pretty good mouse actually. Only negative thing i would say is that the weight is a bit too light, but other than that, for £3 its a bargain for someone that doesnt want to spend £20 for one.

BBD love it

Wired mouse in..... 3.....2......1

Worth a punt for the price of a pint of beer (£3 at Paypal exchange rate).

It seems to be a rebrand of this mouse on Amazon, which may help with its reviews.
