Question
Nicky Patton –
I brought my mouse home with me to switch out batteries (left the USB in my work computer). When I brought it back to the office, I couldn’t get it to connect. How do I make it work again?

Hi Nicky! We’re sorry to hear your mouse is having trouble. We recommend removing the USB, turning it off, and then back on the mouse and re-plugging the USB in. If you’re still experiencing issues, please reach out at support@earthhero.com so we can further troubleshoot!

Works well on mouse pad. I use 12 by 12 inches cork square instead of regular mouse pad. Will not work on paper only. Has a nice feel compared to main stream plastic mouse. I also like the built in auto shut off (sleeping mode). Don’t have to worry about remembering to turn off the batteries. It’s great it’s made from sustainable material, I didn’t want to invest in another plastic mouse. Very reasonably priced too. Would recommend.

Using this mouse is more comfortable than hovering over a trackpad all day. I got a lot of use out of this and it’s still on the original battery and feeling and functioning well. I take the battery out when not in use for long periods of time even though it’s supposed to automatically shut off when not in use. The optics do not work well on paper but I haven’t had a problem using this with any other surface (wood table, mouse pad, lap, etc). For the sake of the environment, I wish this was rechargeable. I will try using with rechargeable batteries next.

Hi, I am curious what material the scroll wheel is made of. I would like to purchase this product for a family member who has an allergic reaction to the plastics other devices are made from.

Pros:
looks good
light, nice shape and feel
works well, even with Mac, which it is not specifically for
Less plastic
buttons are not stiff at all
Cons:
The left button was slightly cracked right out of the package, but I didn’t notice right away. When it lit up, it showed the crack and just how thin the connection was-explains the ease of use, but also, even if it hadn’t already been cracked, it was not long for this world. Some things were just meant to be made out of plastic. A plastic mouse that lasts for years is much better than a bamboo mouse that needs to be replaced immediately.
I’m torn on trying to return. I could probably super glue it and get it to work at least for a while, and if I return it, I know it will just go to the landfill. Also, the return policy says undamaged goods in original packaging….the reason I want to return it is because it was damaged, and I had to take it out of the packaging to notice, so…
Takeaway:
Not worth the money. This is one of those aesthetic low-waste swaps. It looks good, but in the end is more wasteful than the conventional alternative. Buy a $40 plastic mouse and get some actual use out of it.

Was rather skeptical about the product at first and decided to give it a shot; so far, the mouse has been really great! I like that there’s a compartment for the usb receiver which is really handy so as to not loose it. The buttons aren’t stiff either which was something I was worried about. I can only say that I wish that there was an “off” switch and as someone has mentioned, the battery compartment is a tad uneven, so sticking in batteries feels precarious.

This is a cool mouse, and so far seems pretty nice, however a couple things could be improved. There is no off switch. It’s supposed to cut off after 10 minutes of not being used, but when I put it in my laptop bag it turns itself on and uses more battery power than necessary. Also the battery slot wasn’t manufactured evenly so one battery goes in fine, but the other has to be pushed very hard to get it in place properly. Made me a little nervous putting that much strain on something made of wood…

Does this run off batteries? Or can it be charged theough usb?

Admin EarthHero –
Hey Whitney — this bamboo mouse does run on batteries. If left idle, the mouse turns itself off after 10 minutes, which helps the batteries last as long as possible! Thank you for your question!

Very comfortable when using and doesn’t take up a lot of space. Also very pleasing to the eye!
