Review: Reliance Reconnect mouse

Well, it is a perfect day for a review. The product which is under consideration is plane and normal USB compatible Optical Mouse from +Reliance Digital. For anybody who wants to know about this optical mouse in single sentence review, I would say "Go, buy it". But in the interest of people who are eager to know more about Reconnect optical mouse, I have applied a little effort to bring you the features.

Let's jump to basic of +Reliance Digital USB optical mouse:

Product: USB Optical mouse
Model:    RAUMG1003
Design:  Ambidextrous design
Mode:    Plug & Play
or connectivity
Price: Rs. 249 (< $5)

The description is clear. If you use some old computers with ps2 connectivity, this mouse is not for you but for the ps2 to USB converters. The design was so good. It was aimed to fit both hands. Especially thumb gets to the right place and provide enough space for fingers. As for as mode of operation, it is just plug and play. No software drivers or complex setup needed to use this mouse. I just plugged it into my laptop and the three button mouse started working without any problem.

And next thing, far more important than any specification on the product box is the price. For the built and quality, the price is perfect. Though, Maximum Retail Price (MRP) states Rs. 299, the store sold it for Rs. 249 (< $5). Yet, it is good piece for the price. Any one with low budget could have Reconnect USB optical mouse as an option. It deserves to be. If you find Reliance shop in your locality, you should consider it for sure.

Along with it we got following features with this little one:

Resolution: 1000 DPI
Frame Rate: 3500 FPS
along with 3D navigation capacity

The specifications are good. I tested the mouse for 2 days and found no flaw yet. 1000 DPI make the pointer fly from one end of the screen to other end. With amazing frame rate you would not observe frame skip.

Performance: Everything is fine so far, now, lets get with the performance. The clicks are feel responsive and the scroll wheel are not that snappy unlike other USB Optical mouses. Scroll wheel feels smooth and do not over shoot. Without resistance, the scroll wheel seems to be accurate.

With accurate tracking it worked in almost all surfaces. The official specification states that it works with Windows and Mac. But it also work fine with Linux. It is a Linux compatible mouse. All buttons worked fine in Ubuntu 14.04. 

Gaming with Reconnect USB optical mouse: Though it seems too accurate, it is not advisable to consider it for serious gaming purpose. Yet, casual gamer could find it useful under budget. But for serious gaming, you need to invest in some other gaming mouse. More over, it lacks DPI switch which is prominent feature in most gaming mouse. With no DPI switch you will get stuck at the stock 1000 DPI, while pro gamer would prefer DPI values from 400-1800. 

Ergonomics: Ambidextrous design fits both hands well. But the mouse is very short. For people with long hands, you need to consider other mouse variants. If you are the one who works with the mouse alot then you need to look out for proper ergonomics that fit your hands. For ergonomics, individual judgement stands good than others advice. 

But for casual programmers, writers, bloggers, internet geeks, I highly recommend the Reconnect USB optical mouse. 

Pros: Price! It is well within the budget. You could afford the product without second thought. 

Fast and accurate! In this price range, the Reconnect USB optical mouse surprise us with its accuracy.

Ergonomics! It fits both the hands with ease. Though some might feel uncomfortable, it is a good bet at this price range. Comparing other optical mouses, Reconnect seems to fit good than the rest.

Cons: One thing which made me write this section is 'Loud Mouse Click'. The click are too loud. If you work at night alone, you could feel the loudness too high. 

Next thing is the cord of the optical mouse. It is not a functional cons. Yet, this mouse lacks unbraided cord which makes cord tangle occasionally. 

Overall, Reliance Digital Reconnect USB Optical mouse is good buy. A value for money.
