Arteck MD172 Wireless Bluetooth Mouse

Best mouse

This is one of the best product I hv ever seen. Lasted close to 2 years. And it had warrenty. I reached out to customer service they sent new replacement. They are best in business.

Great ergonomic mouse with smooth performance

I’ve been using this ARTECK mouse daily and it’s been a solid upgrade. The shape is comfortable for long sessions, the matte finish feels premium, and the side buttons are placed perfectly for quick access. The scroll wheel is smooth and responsive, and overall tracking is accurate with no lag. For the price, it delivers excellent comfort and reliability. Definitely worth it.

Ease of switching devices makes it incredible

Best mouse for everyday use! Used mine for over 2 years now and I love it. I keep the USB receiver in my PC, usb-c receiver in my MacBook, and I use Bluetooth for my tablet. Feels great in the hand, although slightly heavy. The pads work great to make it slide on most surfaces including pant legs or couch armrests. Overall fantastic, I might get one for a friend for his birthday.

Good but don't ever drop it.

Update April 2026:

After posting my review below, the seller reached out via email and offered a replacement and shipped it within a few days. I have not used it yet but intend to make use of it in my office instead of with my laptop which is I use around the house, for business and on job sites. As mentioned below, the mouse works great except when I dropped it. Thanks to the seller for the A+ customer service, added a star to my review.

Original review:

I have purchased two of these. I won't be getting another, I accidentally dropped them and both times it failed at the exact same point on the scroll wheel. While this isn't a manufacturing flaw, you would think a device would be able to be dropped more than once, not very robust. Otherwise it's a good mouse, functions good and I like being able to use across multiple devices.

Was happy now sad

Muy cómodo y silencioso,perfecto para trabajar sin cables

Este ratón inalámbrico Arteck me encantó. La conexión Bluetooth fue inmediata, sin necesidad de adaptadores ni configuraciones complicadas.

Es muy cómodo al usarlo, se adapta bien a la mano y los clics son silenciosos, lo cual es ideal si trabajas en ambientes tranquilos o de noche.

La batería recargable dura bastante y se carga rápido con cable USB. Además, el diseño es elegante y liviano, perfecto para llevarlo en la laptop.

Funciona sin fallas tanto en Windows como en tabletas.

Definitivamente lo recomiendo si buscas un mouse moderno, práctico y sin enredos de cables.

Arteck mouse. Premium performance at a budget price

Arteck Mouse is an excellent budget mouse for my Mac mini. It's lightweight, comfortable. and surprisingly well built for the price. Battery life is impressive and it glides smoothly. Highly recommended.

Great Customer Service. fantastic keyboard

Keyboard is fantastic as is the customer service. After several months a few of my keys stopped responding. I was sent a new keyboard within just a few days and they were very kind.

Comfort

Great Value for your Money

An amazing mouse for the money, totally comfortable and great connectivity options.

Connected to a Windows computer over USB, to Linux and android on USB-c and to a MacBook over Bluetooth. Everything worked as expected, great response when clicked.

Great performance for the price.

I was looking for an affordable replacement for my Logitech mouse. Found this one and checked the reviews here and on YouTube. All reviews were positive and now I know why. My only wish is that it had a little bit more weight but everything else is fine. Smooth scroll wheel and silent operation. 3 connection options, four DPI settings, two adapters ...etc. Great buy!

Super

Excelente. Mi unidad tenía un problema con la conexión wireless pero el Bluetooth funciona perfectamente. Me hicieron el reembolso completo. Recomiendo la marca(tengo un teclado de la misma marca) y un excelente servicio post venta

Excellent

Silent, precisely, long battery life, nice build quality and very good macOS compatibility

Made my hands sweat immediately. Also doesn't glide very well on mouse pad. Seems overpriced

Be weary. Marketing and reviews oversell the mouse. It's not really any better than a generic $10 mouse, worse than others.

I've been using another generic ergonomic mouse that retailed for $10. This mouse usually sells for more than $20, but I bought two of these on sale for $13 each. That was still not enough of a deal to justify not returning them.

Problem 1:

The Arteck mouse made my hand sweat. Within seconds, there was visible moisture on the mouse which also evaporated just as fast. I washed my hands over and over. Regardless what I did, it got sweaty. That's just gross and made the mouse difficult to hold. It has to be caused by the material of the mouse. It has a dusty like powder like finish over the plastic. My old mouse has a rubber grip on the sides, a feature I've clearly taken for granted.

Problem 2:

Another issue was the gliding on my mouse pad. It came with 3 removable pieces on the bottom to cover the gliding tabs. I'm pretty sure they were only there for shipping, but the mouse glides very poorly with the plastic ripped off. Between these two problems, the mouse itself was too frustrating to use and I resorted back to my old mouse. I also think the battery cover inhibits gliding too. My old mouse was rechargeable and does not have a battery cover.

Problem 3 (More of a personal issue dependent on fit):

This mouse has more vertical height than my old mouse which I thought would aid in the ergonomic nature. It actually was less comfortable. With my old mouse, my wrist rests on the table and my fingers control the mouse. With this mouse, more of my palm rests on the mouse. I thought this would be better, but it actually makes it more difficult to rest my wrist on my desk which increases strain. Having less pivot control also meant less control over the mouse, making this mouse worse for things like gaming.

The Arcteck did outshine my current mouse in two areas, but these upgraded features did not actually generate any added value for me.

1. Scroll wheel. A lot of the marketing and reviews focus on this having a metal scroll wheel and it was a major reason I bought the mouse. After actually using it, it was unremarkable and did not perform any better than my old mouse that has a rubber plastic scroll wheel. Some reviewers compared this to the Logitech Mx Master. That more premium mouse is better solely because of the infinite scroll, not because the scroll wheel is metal. Metal vs plastic, I now see it means nothing. Other reviews said this mouse was serviceable. No, it's not! To service it will require removing the gliding tabs on the bottom of the mouse to access screws, the same design of most of these non-serviceable mice. There are no exposed screws or access holes to service the mouse.

2. Quiet buttons. With the Arctec, every button is dead quiet (left, right, mouse wheel button, side buttons). On my old mouse, only the left and right buttons were quiet, yay an actual upgrade over the old mouse. The problem, I never actually use these buttons. I did try to leverage these buttons and followed another reviewer's recommendations to remap the buttons using third party software. Even with remapping, I couldn't find anything that provided any benefit to my workflow. I played with mapping side buttons for horizontal scrolling. I could, but it's not smooth scrolling like you get with a scroll wheel. I already get smoother horizontal scrolling by holding shift while using the scroll wheel. The choices to what you can remap to are limited to some basic windows shortcuts, nothing that actually adds anything.

3. Bluetooth: It worked without issue which meant clearing up a USB port on my laptop. For me, this was the only usable upgrade. This obviously was not enough to justify keeping the mice.

Better than I thought

This might replace my primary mouse (comparison in the photos)

Price is right.

When the Logitech Performance MX mouse I had been using was not performing as it should, I started to search for a replacement mouse. I came across this Arteck Multi-Device Wireless Bluetooth Mouse with Nano USB-A, USB-C Receiver. It reminded me of the Logitech mouse with almost similar features.

I had been using an Arteck USB Wired Keyboard Universal Backlit 7-Colors & Adjustable Brightness Full Size Keyboard for some time and have been satisfied with it.

I Decided to give the Arteck mouse a try and was not disappointed with it. For the cost, I believe that it is a good value purchase. Around the bottom edges, it may be a bit rough unlike the smoothess of the Logitech, but well worth it as the price is right.

Update: 05/31/2024.

Since I have been very satisfied with the performance of this Arteck mouse, I purchased a second one for use with another device

Perfect so far

I needed a mouse that can work with everything. My cell phone. All with a click of a button. This does it all. And it's usb c rechargeable. And a 24 months warranty? Get this. Get 2 (one for the stash) only bad thing for me is the super tiny instructions. Luckily I did t need that.

Love this mouse

Love the mouse, my wrist and hand feel better and I love that I can use it on my desktop and laptop by just the push of a button. Very happy with my purchase!

Long battery 🪫life!! Easy to use, just get yours!!

Move and use easily from one computer to the next! Tons of battery in each charge. Ergonomic!

Amazing Mouse for the Price! Compares surprisingly well to the MX Master 3! You CAN program it!

Found this mouse by accident. Every day I use the MX Master 3 which is the KING of mice, IMO- this mouse -for a fraction of the price- feels and performs surprisingly well in comparison. In the hand, they feel very similar- the MX is more weighted and a bit better build quality. But for the price, the ARTECK holds its own. The only major function the ARTECK is missing is a side scroll function. (The mouse wheel has a feel like it would side scroll when pushed side to side- but sadly it doesn't.) If it feels like its sliding funny on a surface, make sure you take off the 3 plastic protection covers on the bottom!

Connection options are solid- USB-A, USB-C via dongles stored in the base, and Bluetooth. So you can use 3 different devices via those options at once, switching between them. Only one BT device can be connected at a time, but with PCs, just holding down the BT button pops up a nearly instant connection prompt in Windows- you can easily switch between multiple BT enabled PCs. Connecting to Android was seamless as well. Several levels of DPI to select from will get you the feel you prefer.

SOFTWARE- don't let the lack of mouse software for the ARTECK discourage you. You can use readily available mouse software for Mac or PC to assign the buttons function, both globally and application specific.

For Mac, I recommend SteerMouse. It recognizes as "Device" and you can assign the middle click wheel button and two side buttons to do anything you like. Unfortunately, SteerMouse isn't free.

For Windows, get the absolutely excellent (and free!) X-Mouse Button Control. The ARTECK uses Middle-click and Buttons 4 and 5. You can assign globally or application specifically. For example, I use this mouse in Adobe Premiere to call up frequently used shortcuts. Everywhere else it just does the global forward/back.

Using either of these on Mac and PC I was able to make the ARTECK perform for my needs almost as good as the MX Master 3- the only major function missing is side-scroll.

This is a pretty big mouse, so if you have small hands you may not like it. If you're used to a mouse like the MX-M3 or have wanted one but balk at paying so much for a mouse- the ARTECK is an absolute NO BRAINER! For this price you're getting a really good mouse.

GREAT ergonomic mouse with multiple connection options!

Who likes "generic" mouses? Nobody, right? Well, this one is different...

I got this mouse for a computer build I was putting together for my sister. It was inexpensive and since she had a mouse that she loved on her current computer, I figured she could toss this one if she didn't like it.

It's nicely ergonomic and it responds perfectly to its wireless receiver. Arteck included TWO receivers - one for USB-A, and another for USB-C. AND it connects to Bluetooth! For this price!

And here's the kicker... you can attach to any of the three options by just switching to the appropriate channel! So I can have the USB-A on my desktop machine, USB-C on my laptop, and Bluetooth on my iPad... and press the small side button to connect to any one of them when I want to. Very impressive. BTW, I didn't even know I could use a mouse with my iPad, but it showed up as BT 3.0 Mouse and BT 5.0 Mouse. When I selected one, it put a little spot cursor on my iPad screen, and I could click and navigate around with it. Cool!

The two USB receivers store away when not needed in a compartment under the mouse (see the photos). The mouse has a DPI switch (which effectively sets the "speed" of the mouse), two side buttons, a serviceable scroll wheel with "middle button" action, and it recharges through a USB-C port. I charged it when I first started using it a month ago, and it's still running.

Well, it turns out I've kept it and I'm using it as I type this. Apologies to my sister; she's not getting it.

Highly Recommend!

Great mouse, fits my hand well!

Make sure to check *in* the mouse for the wireless receivers.

Mouse Works Great, Great Price

Ordered this mouse while I was having issues with another one, at $16 can't beat the price. Has USB C and USB A nano receivers stored inside the mouse under a magnetic cover. Also works with Bluetooth. Has multiple resolution settings and is very comfortable for right handed use - not recommended for left handed use. Nice smooth sliding pads under the mouse make for easy sliding. The scroll wheel is not indexed (no clicks) and I find that I really like the non-indexed scroll wheel better than the indexed type. The scroll wheel is also made of metal with a knurled surface. The ergonomics are good and it does have forward and back buttons on the side which I never use. There is a tiny button on the side to change the receiver connection. It recharges via USB C and can be used while charging. Battery life has been great, it goes to sleep when not used, but you just click a button to wake it up. I would have liked a more flexible charging cord, but it works. Might be the best mouse out there at this price point.

Nice

This mouse is very ergonomic for my big hands. Fits perfectly. Love the functions and design. Also love the fact that it can connect to 3 devices and switch between them seamlessly. Battery consumption is great, been using it 3 weeks now and haven't recharged it since.

FANTASTIC!!!

Great mouse. Versatile as it can be connected 3 distinct ways.

USB-A

USB-C

Bluetooth.

Fast and responsive.

Nice office mouse with a weird hump. Multiple ways to connect.

I developed wrist pan after working on laptop after a couple years. So I've been using ergonomic mice. But my old ergonomic mouse for work died so I thought to replace it with this one.

The feel of this mouse is premium. It can connect 3 ways, via Bluetooth, usb-a or usb-c adapters, at the same time. But you can't control 3 computers at the same time since you have to choose 1 of the 3 connections. It has 5 dpi mouse pointer speed setting. But I found it a little slow even on the fastest dpi speed. The mouse clicks are completely silent which I don't like. But some people might prefer this. There's also no clicks on the scroll wheel which feels strange. It's ergonomic enough that after 2 weeks if use I still don't have any wrist pain. But there's a weird hump on the mouse which I'm still getting used to.

Overall, it's a good office mouse but don't like that it's so silent when I click and the hump is too high for me. But these are personal preference and I knew this when I got it. If you don't mind those issues then this is a great mouse for $15. Recommended. 5 🌟 s.

Really nice mouse with multiple 2.4Ghz and BT

I'm using this mouse on my iMac. I've been using an apple trackpad for years, but some things are easier with a mouse. Especially those apps that need a 3rd button. But what I like most of all is the extra set of buttons on the side. I'll talk more about that below.

The mouse has a nice ergonomic feel to it. The way my hand rests on it feels comfortable and natural. This is a right-hand-only mouse. If you share your desktop with a lefty, you might want to look for something more traditionally shaped. But if you're right-handed, it's great. I appreciate that it comes with not one but two 2.4 GHz dongles. I do have a PC in addition to my iMac on my desk. You can easily toggle between the two by pressing the front-most little button on the side. It has three modes, 2.4Ghz dongle 1, 2, and Bluetooth. I've found the position of the button for switching devices is a little too close to the other buttons and I press it by accident sometimes, but that's just something to get used to. It can only be paired to a single Bluetooth connection. I think it would have been nice if I could have switched between multiple Bluetooth connections, but I'm happy to have at least one.

So about the side buttons. By default, these are set up to control pages forward and back in Chrome. I tried it on my Mac and PC, and Chrome responded the same. But I don't usually use Chrome; I prefer Safari. At first, the extra side buttons did nothing in Safari, only working in Chrome. But then I tried creating a macro in a macro programming app on my Mac called Keyboard Maestro. Well, what do you know, I can program my Mac to do anything I want with those buttons! I can combine them with modifier keys to give me even more functions. So even though the mouse doesn't include any software to program it directly, if you are willing to use a macro editor, the extra buttons are accessible and can be made to do anything you want. And though I didn't try it, it should work the same on windows with AutoHotKey. This is a great mouse, and I'm very happy with it.

Very nice for a value priced mouse.

Nicely weighted for a non-performance mouse. Has two wireless receivers USB-A and USB-C in addition to Bluetooth [magnetically hidden within the mouse]. Fast switching button on the left to switch between the two receivers and bluetooth [quite convenient for multiple computers, tablets, and devices]. If the battery is fully discharged, this can be used with the charger in but I’d advise getting a better and longer charger cable. One thing I did notice that I didn't like was I can't adjust the scroll wheel speed and the stopper like I can with other premium mice.

Awesome Mouse!

This mouse works Amazingly. I was so impressed with the ease of installation and clear instructions; it took about two minutes to be up and running. My browsing capabilities have become much more smooth and fluid. The mouse is very responsive and does a great job of keeping up with my tasks. I love it. Great Value and Product!
