What customers like about Lenovo Xiaoxin M3

  • Versatile multi-mode connectivity (Bluetooth 3.0/5.0 and 2.4GHz wireless)
  • Excellent value for money, frequently cited as highly affordable
  • Long-lasting rechargeable battery with the ability to use the mouse while charging
  • Lightweight and compact design, making it a good choice for travel
  • Silent click functionality suitable for office and quiet environments
  • Adjustable DPI settings (up to 3200 DPI) with a dedicated switching button
  • High 1000Hz polling rate for better responsiveness compared to basic office mice

What customers don't like about Lenovo Xiaoxin M3

  • Side buttons are positioned very close together, leading to frequent accidental presses
  • Lack of dedicated driver software makes it impossible to remap or customise button functions
  • Optical sensor performance is limited on glass or highly reflective surfaces
  • Build materials can feel 'cheap' or hollow to some users due to the lightweight plastic construction
  • Reports of the scroll wheel developing a 'squeaky' noise after several weeks of use
  • Sleep mode can be sensitive, sometimes requiring a gentle shake to wake rather than just a click

Verdict

The Lenovo Xiaoxin M3 is a compact, right-handed wireless mouse designed for productivity and travel, featuring a lightweight 75g body and a versatile triple-mode connection including Bluetooth 3.0/5.0 and 2.4GHz wireless. It is equipped with a PAW3205 optical sensor, five buttons, and four adjustable DPI levels (600/800/1200/1600) with a dedicated switching button to suit various tasks. A major advantage is its internal 380mAh rechargeable lithium battery, which allows for use while charging via USB-C and offers a long-lasting life of up to 3,600 hours depending on usage. While its silent-click buttons and portability make it excellent for quiet office environments, notable drawbacks include its optical sensor's inability to track on glass surfaces and reported issues with the scroll wheel developing squeaky noises over time.
