Keychron M3 Wireless Mouse

**Update** The mouse did pair to my computer again this morning for about 10 mins before dropping. I got it to re-pair 2 more times, but both times it was extremely laggy and quickly dropped connection again. It would not re-pair after that. I also noticed that the Keychron website did not publish my 1 star review but immediately published my 5 star review of the keyboard I purchased with the mouse that was posted AFTER the low review on the mouse, so I am upgrading the stars to see if this will get through. Makes me wonder how many other low ratings for this mouse are being hidden to influence buyers since connectivity issues seem to be pretty common after looking around on Reddit for tips on how to make this mouse work.

I was able to get this mouse to pair with my M3 Macbook Pro via bluetooth once and it worked fairly well while it was paired. I walked away from my computer for lunch and the mouse went to sleep to save battery as expected, but I haven't been able to get it to repair again. My OS is up to date, I tried restarting my computer, resetting the mouse back to factory settings, etc. I "forgot" the device from my bluetooth list to attempt re-pairing it and while the mouse shows that it is in pairing mode, it will not show up on my list of nearby devices. The keyboard I purchased at the same time connects no problem when I wake it up, as well as several other bluetooth devices that I tested to make sure it wasn't a problem with my computer. I have put in a support ticket and am waiting for a response - I'll update my review if we are able to get this fixed.

The people complaining in the reviews are complaining too much about unnecessary specifics. If they want something amazing, spend $100 on a super advanced mouse. For the price, this mouse is amazing.

I can switch between my computer and my iPad easily and quickly by using the Bluetooth mode on my iPad and the little plug-in thing on my laptop. The software seems a bit odd, but it is effortless to understand and use. The little user manual is short and brief, and super helpful. I got my mouse working 5 minutes out of the box. Perfect for the price.

The Keychron M3 is a light and fast mouse. It looks cool and feels comfortable in my hands. The downside of it is its quality, price, and some bugs. The RGB light and the left and right buttons sometimes crack open. My USB-C 2.4G receiver also fell apart. When I connect my mouse to the Mac software, the lights at the bottom will not light up until I factory set it. But the most important part is that I cannot drag-click or do other speed clicks on this mouse even if I set the debounce time to 0. The left and right buttons also require some force to press down, so it is not ideal for butterfly clicking.

I got this for work so I use it 8-10hrs a day. Im using the wireless dongle it came with for the best sampling rates and it's very smooth. The battery seems to last quite a few days and sleep mode seems to not drain the battery since it I can leave it for a week and its still charged up. I do wish there was a battery indicator for MacOS but it at least turns read when the battery is low.

It feels good in the hand and is weighted perfectly for me, especially with the weight at the bottom.

Looks pretty good, and feels really good in the hand.
I really like the matte body and the fact that the finger rests for the thumb/pinkie are textured plastic instead of stickers or painted-on since they won't degrade over time but the inward slope on the right side is a little uncomfortable on my pinkie.

The rgb behaves well and can be turned off without any software which is very important for me since I'm on Linux.

The battery life seems pretty good.
The usb cable would be very good even if the mouse was wired but the long connector and the fact that the port on the mouse is not recessed enough means that it's a bit uncomfortable using it while it's plugged in.

My only real issue is possibly with the sensor which doesn't seem to work on some surfaces that none of my numerous previous mice had any trouble with, resulting in choppy/laggy cursor movement - I verified this by using a piece of cardboard under the mouse which seems to work very well.
