What customers like about A4Tech FG35 FG35S

  • Affordable price point for a budget wireless mouse
  • Silent clicks (specific to the FG35S model) provide a quiet environment
  • Long battery life, lasting up to 12 months with power-saving auto-sleep
  • Convenient 3-level adjustable DPI (1200/1600/2000) with a dedicated switching button
  • Ergonomic right-handed design with a comfortable thumb placement
  • Includes two customizable side thumb buttons for forward/backward navigation
  • Reliable 2.4GHz wireless connection with an integrated nano receiver storage slot

What customers don't like about A4Tech FG35 FG35S

  • Build quality is considered average and plasticky by some users
  • The color on the palm rest may fade or peel off after long-term use
  • Maximum DPI is limited to 2000, which may be too low for high-performance gaming
  • Uses a non-rechargeable AA battery (unless opting for a different variant like FB35CS)
  • Right-handed orientation is not suitable for left-handed users
  • Lack of RGB lighting or advanced customization software features

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.
