Verdict

The Genius Ergo 8100S is a wireless ergonomic productivity mouse featuring a right-handed design with integrated thumb and finger rests, an optical sensor with three adjustable DPI settings (800, 1200, 1600), and a 2.4GHz connection with a 10-metre range. Its main characteristics include silent click technology for quiet operation, a lightweight 60g body, and a 6-button configuration that includes dedicated AI Copilot and voice typing buttons for Windows 11 users. Pros include its portability, extensive battery life from a single AA battery, and versatile tracking on various surfaces via BlueEye technology. Cons include its limitation to right-handed users, a relatively low maximum DPI of 1600 compared to gaming models, and the lack of Bluetooth connectivity or a rechargeable battery.
