THE PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE
Overall review.
Check your laptop ports
The receiver needs USB-A. If your laptop only has USB-C, allow room for an adapter or consider a Bluetooth model.
Check the shape for longer work sessions
The compact body is easy to slip into a sleeve or pouch. If you usually rest your whole palm on the mouse, try this smaller shape before relying on it for a workday.
