I've got one of these.
Never in a billion years would I describe it as a 'gaming mouse' - the optical sensor just isn't responsive enough for that - but it is fine for general desktop work. They're based on a pretty common generic design. I've also got one with silent mouse click buttons.
Hot because it's a bargain price, but be aware that the power management isn't that great - this mouse eats batteries like they're going out of fashion.

It does have a power switch though.

I disagree, i have had one and it goes off after a couple of minutes, you click the button and it starts working again. The reviws clearly state that it doesn't drain batteries as fast as the other cheap ones

It's 2017, not 1985.
It's just poor power management implementation in the mouse if you're having to switch the mouse on/off every time you leave your desk for 30 mins, 2 hours, 5 hours, pop to the toilet etc.

The reviews? :laughing:
This is cheap, generic mouse. They're all based on the same generic design. It definitely has a weak point in terms of battery usage.

Your'e completely wrong, it goes off after a couple of minutes and an on/off switch is an extra.
And yes the reviews are what you should be going by when buying things, that is common sense.

AliExpress reviews? They're not reliable. Manufacturer's will also give the highest estimate.
How often has that guy been using it for it to last 3 months? A couple of hours a day, with him constantly turning it off to save on power consumption?
Power management on this mouse is very poor as you would expect for a low budget mouse. Think 6-8 weeks of daily use before you have to replace the batteries. With more intensive use, I get about 4-6 weeks before I start getting tracking problems and need to replace the batteries.
Compare that to the Logitech M705. I haven't had to replace the batteries in that in over a year.

When I click on the link, the price is $4.68, which is £3.77 rather than £2.26. I tried all three colours in case it was for one only.
