The Razer Atheris is for people who want a small wireless mouse that connects to a laptop by dongle or Bluetooth. It suits travel bags, desk-hopping and anyone who wants AA batteries instead of a built-in cell. It is less suited to people with larger hands or those who want a light mouse.

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.
