Key Specifications

Reliable Wireless Connection

This mouse operates on the 2.4 GHz frequency band. It uses an RF wireless interface with a range of up to 10 metres. Because the receiver is a nano type, it sits flush in a USB port and is less likely to be damaged when mobile. However, the receiver interface is USB Type-A, so you must have a compatible port available.

Comfort and Design

The surface colouration is monochromatic, and the product colour is red. The scrolling direction is vertical, using a single scroll wheel.

Optical Tracking and Buttons

Movement detection technology is optical with a fixed resolution of 1000 DPI. This is suitable for standard office documents and web browsing. There are three buttons in total, and the button type is pressed buttons. The scrolling is handled by one scroll wheel. If you require adjustable DPI or extra programmable buttons, you should confirm your needs before purchase.

The mouse uses one AA alkaline battery. The service life is rated at 12 months. Battery capacity is 2000 mAh. The unit ships with the battery pre-installed. Power source is batteries, and the number of batteries supported is one.

System Compatibility

The mouse supports Windows (7, 8, 10 or later), macOS (10.5 or later), Linux (Kernel 2.6+), and ChromeOS. The minimum system requirement is an available USB port for the receiver.
