Simple but solid!

  • solid
  • decent keys
  • precise wheel

The scroll wheel of my supplied Acer mouse started to falter after 2 years. Because I had always worked with Microsoft mice in the years before and was very satisfied with them, I now bought one again. A simple mouse with a decent scroll wheel, for a reasonable price. This product complies 100%. It also fits perfectly in the hand ergonomically. I'm very content.

The right size for you: the 60% rule

How large is a mouse exactly? It's often difficult to see on a photo. That's why we thought of the thumb rule below.

Choose a mouse that takes up more than half of the surface of the dimensions of your hand. You can find the dimensions of the mouse under the specifications.

Your hands are often 2 times longer from your wrist to the tip of your middle finger than that it's wide from your little finger to the knuckle of your thumb. The closer the length and width a mouse come to 60% of the length and width of your hands, the more likely it is that the mouse feels comfortable in your hand.
