Verdict

The A4tech FG35 and FG35s are ergonomic right-handed wireless mice featuring a 2.4GHz connection with a 10-15m range and a 3-level adjustable optical sensor (1000/1600/2000 DPI). These 6-button mice include a dedicated DPI switch, two thumb side buttons, and a 4-way tilting scroll wheel, with the FG35s specifically offering silent clicks for quiet environments. Key pros include a long battery life of up to 12 months on a single AA battery, a durable 5-million-click lifecycle, and 16-in-one software-programmable gestures. However, cons include a relatively low 125Hz polling rate, the lack of a rechargeable battery, and no built-in Bluetooth or RGB lighting.
