Keychron M3 Wireless Mouse

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.

In less than a year of owning the mouse (4K version) I faced w/ several issues related 2.4Ghz transmitter. Sometimes, reset helps, sometimes cable changing solved the problem. But at the end, the mouse just stopped working in G-mode (2.4Ghz) at all. No reaction on moving or buttons click. In the meantime, wired and Bluetooth connection works fine.

Hard to determine whether it is because of their fw update or a hardware issue, but my mouse now has the infamous bluetooth problem where no matter which mode the mouse is set to, the bluetooth connection is ALWAYS on.

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.

This is for an initial Linux experience (mint mate). The basics of the mouse and the connections work out of the box, so you can refer to other comments for those. That part works great, hence the "more than one star" review (let's see if it stays up). If you're not using Linux, this review is not for you.

The customization software for the extra buttons and the RGB works only for win and mac. Yes, I can run a virtual machine and do things, or boot into win or connect it to my macbook and change things, but... not after I paid $50. Not worth it. I was an idiot and thought something like VIA would exist, and I bought this without doing proper research. Don't be an idiot like me and buy this mouse if you're on Linux.

Also, I bought this on Amazon, with the "20% off back-to-school promotion!" that I got as a promotion e-mail because I have a keychron keyboard. So I bought this, with 20% off...at the same normal price on this website! I have prime so I didn't pay for shipping, so that's different, but I'm PAYING for prime. Of course I won't pay for shipping on items noted as included in prime. Amazon prices for Keychron is substantially more than the website prices, but they do include themselves in the prime program, which is very shady. If you're shady here, Keychron, what else have you done?

So I was an idiot for buying this mouse--that's kinda sorta on me, and I was an idiot for falling for the promotion, which is on Keychron.

I'll be returning the mouse. Well there's that at least with my prime.
