Verdict

The Keychron M7 is an ultra-lightweight (63g–66g) ergonomic wireless mouse featuring the high-performance PixArt 3395 optical sensor with up to 26,000 DPI, 650 IPS tracking speed, and 50G acceleration. Key characteristics include tri-mode connectivity (2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.1, and USB-C wired), durable Huano micro switches rated for 80 million clicks, and a dedicated macro button. Its main pros are the comfortable right-handed design with a supportive thumb rest, versatile dual USB-A and USB-C receivers included in the box, and a respectable 70-hour battery life. However, notable cons include the lack of onboard storage for the wireless dongles, a relatively loud or stiff scroll wheel, and the absence of a free-scrolling mode or left-handed variant.
