  • Silent click operation (specific to the FG30S model) for quiet environments.
  • Excellent battery life, with manufacturer claims of up to 12 months or 8760 hours.
  • Comfortable right-handed ergonomic design with anti-slippery side grips.

  • Reliable 2.4GHz wireless connection with a range of up to 10-15 metres.
  • Budget-friendly price point for basic productivity and light gaming.
  • Compact and lightweight build, making it highly portable.

What customers don't like about A4Tech FG30 FG30S

  • Some users report durability issues, such as the silent click mechanism becoming noisy over time.
  • Lower polling rate (125 Hz) compared to dedicated gaming mice.
  • Not rechargeable; requires a removable battery (AA).
  • No onboard memory profiles for saving custom button configurations.
  • Lacks premium features like RGB lighting or a tilting scroll wheel.

Verdict

The A4Tech FG30 and its silent-click variant, the FG30S, are ergonomic right-handed wireless mice featuring a 2.4GHz connection with a range of up to 15 metres. These models offer a 3-level adjustable optical sensor (1000/1600/2000 DPI), six buttons including two side buttons, and a 125Hz report rate powered by a single AA battery that can last up to 12 months. Main pros include a power-saving 'Auto-Sleep' mode that activates in 0.2 seconds, an anti-slippery side grip for comfort, and a durable 5-million-click lifecycle. The FG30S specifically excels in quiet environments with its noise-reduction technology. However, common cons include a lack of Bluetooth connectivity, a relatively low 125Hz polling rate that may not satisfy high-end gaming needs, and the absence of a rechargeable battery.
