Mobility Lab ML311449 USB-C Wireless Rechargeable Optical Mouse for Mac and PC - Black

This is actually better than the mouse that came with my 10 year old mac. I read the other reviews and decided to try this product after my old mouse broke. Glad I did. The chord is very long which is a big bonus. The wheel is brilliant, plus if I hold down the shift key and use the wheel, it moves the page from left to right. Great wee product for a decent price!

Really like this mouse. It came in great packaging, plugged straight in and it worked right away. No need to set it up or download any software to use. I like the smooth clean lines and is perfect to use while I am working from home.

Mine, intended for usage with an Apple iMac, arrived in slightly different packaging to the one in the webpage, in that mine was not described anywhere on the packaging as 'laser', only 'optical' (there's a difference between the two sorts). However, the ML301884, once set up in the Mac's System Preferences > Mouse, seems to perform very well. I'd given up continually having to service the miniature scrollball on my Apple wired mouse. Actually, compared to the Apple mouse, the ML gives faster cursor pointing; with the Apple mouse, it was like moving through treacle by comparison. With the ML I now get positive right and left-clicking, albeit that it's audibly more noticeable than with the Apple device. My only reservation is over its medium and longterm 'click reliability', as all such mice usually depend on an internal pair of microswitches (or an especially-made dual-microswitch), and the quality of the microswitches is paramount in the lifespan of the mouse - after a good many months of usage the microswitches can 'age' and have undue bounce, which the built-in electronics often can't then cope with. So the mouse then starts badly selecting things. I had a Logitech B110 wired mouse (admittedly costing about half the price of the ML), for instance, that started off just fine but after about 18 months of usage on the Mac became useless in just that way, and I had to then go back to the Mac mouse. I can only hope that the microswitch(es) in this ML301884 last a lot longer than was the case in the Logitech mouse. In my view, it's down to whether the manufacturer choses to use good-quality, high-duty components within the mousethat counts. Right now, I'd like to give the ML301884 5 stars but since its longevity's an unknown, I'm giving it 4 instead. Incidentally, some users of Apple computers claim that although third-party wired mice of this type function without any issues on Mavericks and Yosemite machines, there appears to be an incompatibility when especially using Sierra. There are rumours that, with Sierra, Apple re-wrote the USB mouse driver. Since I myself do not use Sierra, I can't confirm whether this is true or not. Don't let me put you off purchasing, though; I'm running on Mavericks and my ML is working just fine on that. Thus far, I'm very pleased with it.Postscript, mid-June 2017, 2 months after initial purchase: The mouse has been working so impressively well that I've now bought a second one, just to keep as a spare, in case the internal switch-contacts do wear out in time. I've since used this mouse on macOS Sierra without any issues, BTW. My only remaining niggle is that the mouse-lead is quite a bit longer than I need. It would have been great if the mouse had been made so that you could remove the top part of it and shorten the lead.

The mouse is fully compatible with Mac and it works very well. It does its job. It is a bit smaller than the Mac original mouse, and that, in the beginning, could be slightly an issue, but once you get used to that you cannot see and feel the difference. It also looks very nice with its glossy finish. I like it and I recommend it if you do not want to spend too much money for a mouse.

As above first reviewer said, instructions are in French, image captions are in English. Product does not have built in battery, mouse has a battery compartment for X2 rechargeable AAA batteries (included) with charging time of 8 hours and needs the dock in the usb port to work, so not ideal for a laptop or someone who doesn't sleep. Comes with a mini installation cd for compatability with certain window versions.Good ergonomic and environment friendly mouse, I liked the automatic power switch off when not in use and its own recharging dock, I've run down a good number of batteries in the past. I did get drawn into the "built in battery" which is misleading, I'd much prefer a development of mobile phone/toothbrush built in type batteries if manufacturers decide to take it on. The seller of this mouse strangely sent me a two pin plug adapter, not required as it doesn't come with one. The main drawback, I wouldn't recommend for gaming, it has a surprisingly loud click.

Very happy with this product. I lost a long impatient battle against wireless trackpads and keyboards that Apple "recommended." It would keep connecting to my flatmates iMac but not mine, and this was on a regular basis. So, out of frustration I gave in and returned to the reliable wireless. Still wanted something clean and apple-like, simple and elegant (and of course.. WHITE) and found this online. not many reviews, but enough to convince me.All in all, works on iMac, easy to set up, does the job. Very satisfied, exactly what I wanted.

Bit awkward to use after wireless mouse

Lovely design, very elegant, perfectly functional so far and soft to press which is helps prevent index finger discomfort after long periods of use.
