In my experience, no-name Chinese wireless mice tend to fail quite quickly - even got one a while back that emitted a tiny puff of smoke as soon as I put a battery in!

Good price but right-handed only.

Only problem with these cheapo Chinese mice is that they eat batteries like they're going out of fashion.
Don't think they've quite optimised the power management algorithms on their mice in the same way that Logitech have as the Logitech can go for a year or two on the same batteries whereas the cheapo Chinese mice need new batteries every couple of months.

I have one, they are not very good, high quoted DPI, but not very accurate when used on screen

I have one of these though branded differently. Sure they're the same.
Happy with mine. Time will tell regarding battery usage.

I've noticed most of the Chinese computer mouses on Amazon are branded according to the sellers brand, however the products are exactly the same, they all have "Easterntimes Tech" when you look at the bottom of the mouse.
When looking at the Easterntimes tech website, they have listed some of their clients. Here are a few: Asus, MSI, Acer. I would guess they are OEM/ODM clients, so Easterntimes Tech must be successful in the industry.

Nice - one ordered, and taken the standard delivery not prime - and I get £10 of free books too!

I have one of these, it's been great. Sleeps when left for only a short while, one click wakes it up. No complaints..
