When it comes to a computer mouse, I don’t really think you need to have an assortment of features to be useful. My everyday work involves writing, browsing the web, working on documents and switching between applications, and for this I feel reliability and comfort matter more than an extensive list of specifications. The ASUS Wireless Mouse MD105 is relatively straightforward and offers a practical set of features in a compact form.
I have been using the MD105 for nearly two weeks, and the experience has been satisfying. It is essentially an ergonomic wireless mouse that comes with 110 x 72 x 43mm dimensions and weighs 66 grams without the battery. It is remarkably lightweight and handy. The design features a thumb rest, and this adds to the comfort factor during periods of extended use. This is the first time I am working on a mouse of this shape, and I feel it is more suited to users who lean towards a conventional ergonomic mouse instead of the flat and compact travel mice.
A major highlight of MD105 is its connectivity. The device supports both 2.4GHz wireless connectivity via the included USB dongle and Bluetooth. Now, this ensures that users get flexibility depending on the device being used. The design also features a small compartment for the USB dongle adjacent to the batteries underneath the mouse. I found this to be practical, as I am prone to losing the USB dongle. The company claims that the mouse can connect up to three devices, and this can be useful for someone who frequently shuffles between a laptop, desktop or another compatible device. The wireless range of this mouse is up to 10 metres.
During everyday use, the mouse is simple and hassle-free to operate. I was relieved to note that there was no need for an elaborate setup process. Moreover, the dual-mode connectivity meant I could shift between my MacBook Air and Dell laptops without any fuss. When it comes to sensitivity levels, the optical sensor comes with 1,200, 1,600, and 2,400 DPI. They offer enough flexibility for general productivity, web browsing and working across different sizes of screens. Another major highlight is that the MD105 comes with quieter operation, which is useful if you are working in a library or a shared workspace. The mouse also features two additional side buttons, giving users some extra control without making the design complicated.
When it comes to power, the mouse is powered by a single AA battery, which is included in the box. While there is no fixed battery life mentioned, it will vary depending on individual use. The MD105 is positioned as a productivity mouse and not a gaming accessory, so gamers are advised to look elsewhere. Also, this design may not work for those seeking an extremely compact mouse.
However, for its intended purpose, the ASUS Wireless Mouse MD105 is fairly simple. It brings together an ergonomic design, quieter operation, adjustable sensitivity, and both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity without making anything complicated for daily users. Overall, the MD105 works best as a general-purpose wireless mouse, especially for those who are looking for productivity accessories to enhance their work.
