**I. Introduction**
In the previous article, I mentioned that my home LD's Logitech M510 wireless mouse wheel was broken. I was worried about LD’s urgency and thought of her constantly. So, on the weekend, instead of taking a break, I decided to fix the M510 myself, hoping to save some money and help LD out. Unfortunately, I didn’t expect the wheel to be irreparable. There was no other option but to go to JD Mall and buy a new mouse.
**1. My Mouse Purchasing Experience**
I’ve gone through several stages in my mouse journey—starting with a wired mouse, then moving to a wireless one, from USB to Bluetooth, and finally to a laser wireless model. One of the reasons I stopped using Apple’s mouse was its high price, and another was that LD uses an Intel NUC running Windows 10. Buying an Apple mouse would have been like talking to a duck—it wouldn’t make sense and would be a waste of features. Initially, I considered Logitech again, but their prices were too high for my budget.
The second generation of the Logitech Anywhere 2S cost 479 yuan and was suitable for small hands, but I found the design unattractive. The color was just blue, and the look wasn’t appealing. I gave it up. Then there was another model that looked better but was more suited for big hands, which wasn’t ideal for LD. Another option had good looks but poor reviews—users reported issues like slow rebound, loose keys, and difficulty with double-clicking during online videos. That one also got rejected.
**2. The Reason for My Final Choice**
After trying several options, I finally chose the Xiaomi Portable Mouse. Here’s why: first, it was affordable; second, it supported both 2.4G and Bluetooth modes, making it versatile; third, it was a laser mouse under 100 yuan, which is hard to find these days.
**Second, Xiaomi Portable Mouse Evaluation**
**1. First Impressions**
The packaging was simple but informative. Inside, the mouse was well-protected with a plastic cover. When I compared it side by side with my old Logitech M510, I noticed that the Xiaomi was slightly narrower, which might be more comfortable for smaller hands. The back design was more rounded, while the Logitech had a more aggressive look. The left and right buttons on the Xiaomi had a curved design, while the middle button was shorter. On the back, there were two circles—one for the mode switch and one for the power button. The label on top explained the functions, and after getting used to it, I could even remove the sticker.
Inside the battery compartment, there were already two AA batteries, along with a USB receiver. Compared to the Logitech, which used AAA batteries, the Xiaomi used AA batteries, which are easier to find. The weight of the Xiaomi without the battery was around 38 grams, while the Logitech weighed 52 grams without the battery. This made the Xiaomi much lighter and more portable.
**2. Usage Experience**
Connecting via Bluetooth was straightforward, and once paired, it worked smoothly. However, after using it for a while, I still felt more comfortable with the Logitech. The Xiaomi’s click felt a bit stiff, and the sound was hollow. The scroll wheel on the Logitech was more precise and practical for tasks like browsing or watching videos. But LD found the Xiaomi more comfortable, especially with her smaller hands. She said it felt easier to use, and she enjoyed the lightweight design when using it online.
Overall, the Xiaomi Portable Mouse is a great value for the price. It may not match the feel of the Logitech, but it’s reliable, lightweight, and offers enough functionality for everyday use. For those looking for a budget-friendly, portable wireless mouse, this could be a solid choice.
