Excellent quality, perfect couch mouse, great for big hand
This is an excellent mouse, and I love the hand position. It mixes the best of a standard mouse with some of the benefits of a vertical mouse. I have large hands (19x12 cm, wider than many), and I was pleasantly surprised that this accomodates me so well. I was also very impressed by the detail that Keychron put into this. It's simple, elegant, understated with a polished, thoughtful feeling in all areas.Although the mouse isn't very wide, the tall hump perfectly turns my wrist, so that my first and middle fingers feel like they're on a standard mouse, and my ring and pinky fingers stack perfectly next to the mouse without too much weight on the pinky. This alllows for more precise control than a vertical mouse while retaining a more vertical wrist position. After decades of RSI, this is the first right-hand mouse that doesn't crack my wrist as I move. It's especially useful while mousing on the couch, where more flat mice tend to cramp my wrist.The sensor is flawless on my couch as well. Not a surprise, as the 3311 is still one of the best sensors, despite there being better available.All the controls are well thought out and placed nicely. I love the metal scroll wheel with free-spinning and well notched options, and the machanical switch is pleasant enough. It leans left and right with nice clicks, and has a quality machined, edgy feel. I remapped these clicks to go back and forward, it's very convenient. The thumb rest is excellent, not too big like others. The thumb buttons are where you want them, and they feel nice. The primary clicks feel soft and tactile, and all the clicks are very quiet.Although there isn't local software, the online software is excellent. It's intutive with no stupid gamer clutter or mysterious nonsense. It's a simple, effective, well organized design that never insists on itself. It took me less than a minute to remap the thumb scroll and wheel clicks. If you like gamer precision, you can also set custom dpi settings and multiple profiles. You must use Opera, Edge, or Chrome, so Firefox users are slightly inconvenienced.I've only used bluetooth for regular use (wired for mapping), and it's stronger than several other bluetooth mice I have. If I ever have a problem with the dongles, I'll say so here, but if you're reading this, assume the dongles work as expected. The bluetooth will also seamlessly switch between 3 devices once paired to each.The little details are what really makes me love this thing. The settings buttons are on the bottom. You have 5 dpi settings available, and each one is represented by a different colored light, there's never any confusion. Same with the 3 different polling rates with their own button. The bluetooth switching has its own button, and an honest-to-goodness physical switch chooses bt, dongle, or wired modes. I always switch off the mouse after couch use, and I hate mice that don't have this switch. The settings lights are underneath the mouse with their buttons, and the only visible light when using is a small light next to the thumb: it turns red when charging, blue when pairing, and is off at all other times. Even when on, this light is unintrusive, without distraction.Details continue with the accessories. Both a USB-C and USB-A dongle are included, plus adapters for each, plus a nice braided cable. All with a mouse costing 40 bux! If you like premium packaging, Keychron has that as well. It's a nice, thick walled box with premium finish and foam. It all feels more expensive than it is, and makes more expensive options look miserly.Perhaps the best detail is the finish on the plastic. It's a satin finish plastic with no stupid rubber coatings. It's grippy enough while feeling premium and breathable in hand. The rubber finish on expensive mice is the first thing to get ugly and wear out, and this mouse feels like it will look and feel great for much longer than those. My hand really enjoys the feeling whenever I grip this, you don't need rubber to feel premium.The only cons I can name at this price are not big complaints. There isn't a slot for the dongles, but I'm happy they didn't crowd such a great design with it. The bluetooth is so good the need for a portable dongle is reduced, but if you insist on a dongle slot, look elsewhere. Keychron would do well to sell a carrying case with a dongle pocket.My second complaint is the online-only software. I understand if cloud software is easier, but we really should have a locally installed option. Although the tool works well, insisting on a browser still feels cheap and cumbersome. Still, for 40 bux, I haven't been able to find a better mouse for my needs. My other favorite mouse is the 3DConnexion Cadmouse Pro for its width, angle, middle button and Left hand version, and those cost 120 bux. Even then, the Cadmouse is made for desktop use, and isn't as close to vertical as the M6, so the M6 is just better on the couch.I hope this long-ish review helps. Mice and controllers are like clothes and shoes; very difficult to know if it will fit until you have it in-hand. If you have wide hands, don't be afraid to try this mouse. I almost passed on it, and I'm very glad I tried it.Ver másVer menos
