What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are contradictory: the mouse is described as USB-connected and corded, yet separate fields list a 24-month battery life and one required lithium-ion battery. Confirm the selected listing’s power details. The title specifies Mercury White while colour details say White. The title claims mechanical switches, but the supplied details do not clarify the switch type. The listing gives dimensions with a weight of 121.05 g and separately lists 121 g.

Customer feedback highlights perceived performance, comfort, appearance and value, while also noting disappointment with the scroll wheel, durability concerns and mixed opinions about colour. These are customer perceptions rather than verified product findings. The comments about the scroll wheel matter because the listing emphasizes its ridged rubberized design, and durability concerns are relevant alongside the manufacturer’s mechanical-switch lifespan claim. Aggregate ratings lean positive overall, but do not explain individual experiences.
