Weight is the first fingerprint
Genuine lightweight mice sit near their claimed grams. If a supposed 49 gram mouse clearly hefts heavier than your phone case, walk away. Clones pack cheaper, denser parts.
Test what clones cannot fake
- Fast small circles: real flagship sensors track without cursor wobble
- Lift off distance behaves as advertised on cloth pads
- Click latency feels immediate, not mushy
- Software or pairing app actually detects the model
- Battery matches claims after a full charge day of play
Paper trails matter
Ask for a proper invoice with model and variant names. Serial numbers should match between box and device where present. Sellers who resist receipts are telling you something.
Buy where checking is easy
We publish real photos, exact variants and written warranty terms so verification happens before payment, not during a dispute afterwards.
