This has been an excellent mouse in just about every measure. I was in need of a secondary mouse for around the house and for a backup to my (at the time) main mouse in case of battery running out. Since it was going to be a secondary mouse I wasn't super picky about looks or ergonomics, etc. But I did have 4 criteria -
1) Must be Bluetooth (no dongles! unless its an extra feature)
2) Must be rechargeable (My old main mouse is rechargeable, it's liberating not dealing with AA or AAA, remembering which type is needed and/or how many - I will never go back lol)
3) Standard/full sized (small mice are fine for small hands which mine are not)
4) Finally, low cost.
I did a search and this one caught my eye. I had never heard of the brand but it checked off all 4 of those criteria nicely so I went ahead and purchased. If it turned out to be not-so-great for whatever reason then NBD since its intended as a secondary/back-up.
When I received it I was surprised because it "felt" like a more premium (aka more expensive) mouse. Had a good weight (not too much or little). It was solid and well built feeling (no loose or misaligned bits). Ergonomics were nice feeling in my hand too. It is indeed a silent clicker as advertised but it still maintains a satisfying click "feel" when pressing the L/R buttons (not mushy). The scroll wheel is wide and smooth-rolling (not just a thin rubber disk with a bumpy roll that is common at this price point).
My only negative comments are extremely minor and would not have affected my decision to purchase and don't add up to any whole star deductions (maybe 1/2 star deduction if all added up). The L/R main buttons each come to a point in the front of the mouse. This seems to be cosmetic and doesn't serve a purpose but it does sometimes snag (clothing, blankets, etc.) when used off of the desk. The USB dongle (optional if you need it) is simply stuck into a slot on the underside and not covered or secured very well. Of course I immediately lost mine. Only the L/R buttons are silent, the side buttons definitely are not. For some odd reason the charging cable connection is micro-USB (Cost reasons maybe? It came with a cord so it's not really an issue anyway).
Even with those minor criticisms this mouse quickly became my favorite to use due to the points I mentioned above. My main (and far more expensive, yet less premium or well-built feeling in comparison) mouse was demoted to secondary status and I've been using this one ever since (since last August, about 7 months now).
Also of note: I think I've only had to recharge it once so far.
It's price has increased by $1 (factoring in current 15% coupon offered) which would not change my opinion.

Good price for a gaming mouse, but not sure I would call this a gaming mouse.

- Ergonomic/comfort - check - it has a sweet spot for size and comfort that rivals more expensive mice. One nit that might affect you depending on the size of your hands is the back button on the side. It was perfect for me, but for bigger hands it might get hit accidentally.
- DPI/movement - check - up to 1600 DPI will make just about any creator/gamer happy
- Connectivity - check (sorta) - with 2.5 MHz and two Bluetooth options, it's pretty solid and connects every time I've tried, on 2.5 and Bluetooth 5 (haven't tried Bluetooth 4 yet)
- Battery life - check-a-roo-check - it's got a rechargeable USB-C port, with battery indicator on top, which is pretty much unheard of in this price category.
- build quality is solid and much better than I expected. The mouse-clicks are near silent, which freaked out my gamer son who expected to hear an audible "click". Ultimately he concluded he liked the mouse, just wasn't used to any mouse being so quiet.
I've been using this non-stop for the last couple of days and I like it a lot. I bought it as a temporary mouse to replace a Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed that died on me (and remarkably started working AFTER I bought and received this one).
You can see from the comparison pics how similar the size is. For me, this mouse fits better in my hand than the Basilisk. t's not a direct replacement for a mouse like the Basilisk, but for the money it's pretty close. It lacks in one thing most hardcore gamers really need - a decent polling rate. While most gaming mice nowadays poll near 1000, like the Basilisk, this one never got higher than 140.
But seriously, unless you're a competitive gamer, you won't notice this. For under $20 US with coupon, you cannot beat this deal.
