GAMIAC PA50

5.6/10verdict: good, not the best

The GAMIAC PA50 is for right-handed users who want a wired optical mouse with programmable buttons and a high-DPI sensor. It suits desk setups where a cable is no problem and batteries are unwelcome. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs wireless, Bluetooth or a left-handed shape.

UGREEN Wireless Mouse, Silent Computer Mouse, 18-Month Battery

6.0/10verdict: good, not the best

This is a quiet, no-fuss wireless mouse for anyone who wants clicks that don't disturb a shared or quiet room. It suits office desks, laptop bags and general desktop use where a USB receiver and one AA battery are fine. It doesn't suit buyers who want Bluetooth, multi-device switching or a rechargeable battery.
