Apple Magic Mouse vs UtechSmart VENUS

well- I never really need a mouse when I'm just on my laptop.). I use this mouse with my daily iMac and it's awesome for the touchiness of it, I love the feel and being Bluetooth is AWESOME, because I don't love cords all over my best

The Good: Good size that fits hand very comfortably with the nice textured finish Good quantity of buttons to program High precision with adjustable DPI to get mouse movements just right Multiple profiles for different tasks Better lighting options compared to prior versions profiles stored on mouse (limit 2) The Less Good: no additional weight compartment in wireless version (wired version has it) lighting options, while better, are still underwhelming lighting option when plugged in is not existent less pre-created macro/key options in software compared to earlier versions (can manually create for functionality, just lose the ease of it) The Bad nothing that would sway my purchase decision Summary: This is a great mouse for the price. It is very comfortable to use and ticks off all the quality items needed for a functional mouse for gaming or customization of buttons. The software is its greatest weakness, but not detrimental to the point where it has a functional impact (just the area they should focus more effort on). I back this up with this wireless mouse version being my third of this style/brand of mouse for my own use (2 wired, 1 wireless) plus my wife's use of both the wired and wireless version too

How exactly? Well before I list the features that I found missing, these are features that won’t be a big deal to a lot of people as there are other ways of completing these tasks but for the price of this mouse it would have been nice to see the functionality be packed in. Anyway, the two biggest features I noticed personally that were missing on the Magic Mouse are firstly, there’s no way to rotate photos or objects. This is something that can only be done on the track pad and secondly, whenever editing video on programs like iMovie, which again, not everyone will do, there’s no way to zoom in or out of the timeline you’re working in. This can, again, only done using a track pad or option within iMovie

The buttons themselves are alright, they'll definitely do the job. The scroll wheel is good, though I wish it tilted like my G600 too. But as that's a hardware thing, I can accept that tradeoff for wireless connectivity. Clicks are not offensively loud like some mice, which I'm definitely grateful for as I'll be using this while traveling

Magic Mouse is by far the worst Apple accessory. The sensor is trash, the port location is bad, the entire ergonomy of the mouse is non-existent. It absolutely needs a redesign.

I need a mouse that has convenient and easy to use buttons in numbers sufficient to assign a button to every available movement. This does not evenly remotely apply to the UTechSmart. The number of buttons is sufficient but the placement is not suited to fast and accurate use. The thumb button locations would require months of training to get all the button locations coded into muscle memory

Too much form over function to me. I would take a corded mouse over this one if I had to. Unless you prefer mice like the Apple Magic Mouse as opposed to a traditional style mouse with scroll wheels and a mouse like shape, I'd recommend trying out other mice first before paying for this one. Chances are you'll find something that's more comfortable and less frustrating to use for less money

But for me, the UtechSmart VENUS Pro wins my award for the "Best Ergonomic Wireless Productivity Mouse" of 2020.

I’m so disappointed with the Magic Mouse and I can’t believe it’s still in production. It’s extremely flat, awkward, and it’s non-ergonomic shape does not sit nicely in ones hand- at least not in mine. I feel my hand cramping after five minutes of using one because it forces my hand into such an unnatural position. Apple would make a killing on a really quality mouse that’s either wired or wireless or both

It's a huge boost to my productivity. The mouse is similar in shape and feel to the G600. While it's quite a bit lighter, the grip and feel (which any MMO mouse will forever change the way you grip any mouse) didn't take me long at all to adjust, close to instant. There's the same "grip corner" for you to press your pinky finger against, your thumb sits between the first two sets of thumb buttons (1 thru 6), pointer and middle finger are resting on the left and right mouse buttons respective and it's comfortable to easily switch between clicking and scrolling, and there's also an indentation for your ring finger to rest on

Not much more to say other than when you charge it, do it a night when you don't need it!

Easy and free to move across my mousepad. A bit heavier than I’m used to as I use the Logitech pro super light to play fps games but otherwise a solid mouse for the price. My only gripe is the batter life. I feel like I’m awkward charging it

c. As I mentioned, battery life is really good. You can also leave it sleeping without turning it off and nothing bad will happen. I think I charge mine every couple of months, with 3-5 days a week of usage

There is the option to turn on the mouse without RGB lights to save battery power. - There is the option to go wireless! I cannot confirm how long the battery life is, but from other reviewers it seems like about 3 days of heavy use. - Length of the cord is decently long but is about a full mouse length shorter than the G600. - Comes with a nice bag for travel purposes - Weight is good, similar to G600

It glides on a pair of low-friction strips, tracking just as smoothly as the last Magic Mouse. The optical sensor on the bottom reacts quickly to movements, and you can adjust sensitivity and tracking in the Mouse system preferences on your Mac.

Also, while the sensor on our unit is reasonably consistent, it's moderately inaccurate and undershoots the set CPI somewhat during slow cursor movements and significantly during faster movements. There's customization software that allows you to adjust a range of settings; however, it's only compatible with Windows and only allows you to have one custom profile at a time.

My only complaint about this mouse is the weight. It’s rather heavy for a mouse hence the 4 stars.

The weight tuning is pretty straight forward. You flip the mouse over, turn the little compartment, and then pop the tray out. I have to say, I'm a heavy mouse guy, but I still thought that having all the weights in was a little too much. On the other hand, removing all the weights made the mouse very, very light
