Bluetooth connectivity was a breeze. Turn the device on and press the small button above the censor. This mouse can connect to three separate devices, and switching between them is easy. Just press the button again to switch between devices 1, 2, and 3. How you remember which devices are 1, 2, and 3 is up to you… With that, you’re set. Standard mouse buttons and scroll wheel functions. Forward and Back thumb buttons, standard capabilities for most modern mice Performance This is touted as a gaming mouse that supports up to 4000 DPI. I’m not a PC gamer, so I wasn’t able to test that functionality. I’ll take them at their word. What I like about the Targus ErgoFlip EcoSmart Mouse • Between home and work, there were no issues using it on a variety of surfaces • Connecting the Bluetooth and changing between devices was very straightforward. I even connected it to my phone! • Offers a unique functionality that haven’t seen anywhere else • Big fan of the recyclable materials and packaging What needs to be improved? • The left and right buttons were not super responsive for me. Could be that I just needed to spend more time adjusting to the mouse, but there were several times where I had to click multiple times before it did what I was trying to do. • The “hump” of the device where my palm sat was a little too much for my hand. Again, probably more of a personal preference there Final thoughts I used the Targus ErgoFlip EcoSmart Mouse for several days at home and work. This is a unique device with a pretty cool design. I think this would be a great fit in the right use cases. In a shared desktop environment where switching between left and right-handed users, this would be a very good option. Personally, the fit of the mouse to my hand was not optimal and made the left and right buttons tricky to use well, so I don’t think I’ll be giving up my daily driver.
