Verdict

The Cherry MW 9100 is a compact, symmetrical wireless mouse featuring a precise optical sensor with a three-stage adjustable resolution of 1,000, 1,600, or 2,400 DPI. It offers flexible 2-in-1 connectivity via Bluetooth 4.2 or 2.4 GHz RF (with AES-128 encryption) and includes six buttons, rubberised side panels for grip, and a rechargeable 550 mAh lithium battery that lasts for several weeks. Main pros include its portable design, the ability to charge via USB-C while in use, and its compatibility with both left- and right-handed users. Potential cons include a small form factor that may lead to hand fatigue during prolonged use and the lack of advanced features like a tilting scroll wheel or RGB lighting.
