Fair and European computer mouse

Some parts are imported but it‘s probably as European as possible at the moment. Details about production can be found here: https://www.nager-it.de/en/maus/fertigung. Unfortunately their shop seem to be only accessible in German.

Nice picture and effort for only one product. This takes dedication. The mouse is ugly, though 😂🫣
- hm. i really like the classic design. what design would you prefer?
  
  I'm a great fan of Logitech for gaming (G602) and office (MX Master 3). But from the looks of it, it's a different need. For a more mobile solution I once bought a Logitech M70, which is also a little bit curved, for a angled hand rest.
30€, no side buttons
- You need to add more slavery and exploitation to the production method to make it cheaper.
  
  I don’t have a problem with the price. I spent 70€ on my mouse, but I will not use a mouse with no side buttons in 2025…
  
  Or just mass production...

- Not quite from what I can gather. Supposedly the working conditions of the companies/ trading partners are rated (according to the principles listed under https://www.nager-it.de/en/maus/umsetzung/details).
- Got good working conditions apparently.
Cool project but its like a relic of past times.
The design is debatable but undoutably very old school.
Costs 45€ on digitec currently, which is a difficult to justify price for a mouse with 2€ aliexpress mouse features. Only reasonable if ethical production is very high on your priority list.
It has only two buttons and a mouse wheel, even the clickable mouse wheel functionality is optional and not standard.
It maxes out at 1000 DPI (The wireless Logitech G305 for 35€ can do 3200dpi). Though 1k is generally fine, more concerning is the following:
Its ADNS-2700 sensor has a polling rate of 125Hz (G305 can do up to 1000Hz). This means it will look like its lagging when you drag it across the screen quickly..
This is maybe a product for old people that have their mouse speed at like 200dpi, but anyone used to the comforts of side buttons, mouse wheel click and smooth mouse movement won't be happy with this experiment.
