TECKNET Wireless Mouse BT5.0/3.0 & 2.4G 4800 DPI Grey review

The TECKNET BT5.0/3.0 & 2.4G is a rechargeable wireless mouse with an optical sensor, six buttons and two ways to connect. It targets everyday desk work rather than gaming. There's no software, no polling rate and no sensor model, so it is easiest to judge as a plain, flexible office mouse listed.

This is the strongest part of the spec sheet. The mouse works over Bluetooth (listed as 3.0/5.0) or through a 2.4G USB-A receiver. It can connect to two devices at the same time, and a slide switch moves between them. That suits someone who uses a desktop and a laptop side by side. Owners point to easy pairing and flexible connection, which matches the spec.

The battery is rechargeable. A full charge takes 1.5 to 2 hours, and TECKNET rates a charge at about 3 months at 2 hours of use a day. TECKNET also warns that the connection may become unstable when the battery is low. In practice that means charging it when the battery runs down rather than pushing on until it dies.

The receiver is USB-A.

The shape is ergonomic and implied to be right-handed. Owners describe the fit as comfortable and not bulky. With that size guidance, people with large hands should treat the comfort reports with caution, because they come from a small-to-medium-hand design.

TECKNET does not publish the weight. If you care about how light a mouse is for long sessions, the spec sheet gives you nothing to go on.

The optical sensor tops out at 4800 DPI, with six levels: 4800, 3200, 2400, 1600, 1200 and 800. That range covers slow, precise work as well as fast cursor movement across a multi-monitor desk. TECKNET does not publish the sensor model or the polling rate. With no polling rate listed, this is not a mouse to pick for competitive gaming.

There are six buttons. Owners mention quiet clicks, which helps in shared offices or at night.

One firm limitation: the side buttons do not work on macOS. If you use a Mac and rely on back and forward buttons, that removes a large part of the appeal of having six buttons.

No driver installation is needed. The mouse is listed as compatible with Windows, macOS, Chrome and Linux, so it works without any vendor app on those systems. That suits locked-down work machines and mixed setups where installing software is a hassle. The flip side is that there is no listed way to remap buttons, because no software is mentioned.

Owners repeatedly mention value for money. Without a price in front of us, the review leaves that to you to check against the current listing. What the spec sheet does show is a feature set of dual connection, rechargeable battery and cross-platform support.

This mouse suits right-handed users with small to medium hands who switch between two computers. It also suits Linux and Chrome users who want plug-and-go behaviour, and anyone who values quiet clicks. It is a poor fit for Mac users who need the side buttons, for left-handed users, and for anyone who needs published polling-rate or sensor details.
