The Satechi M1 Wireless Bluetooth works right out of the box with both Mac and Windows, it only requires pairing. The best feature is its looong battery life and short changing time. Personally I think it has an elegant, compact design with a pleasant feel to the its wheel and responsiveness to motion, but that is a matter of opinion, and, if you have very large hands, you might find it rather on the small side. Cheap for a Mac mouse, expensive for a Windows mouse. Very satisfied initially with my purchase, it feels well made and sturdy. Read more
Excellent mouse for use, and I like the "wheel" on top. It's easier for me than my Apple wireless mouse to use for scrolling. I like both but the wheel is more intuitive for me. It's also MUCH cheaper than a comparable Apple wireless mouse. It was immediately compatible with my Apple desktop mac. The build quality seems comparable but time will tell. It replaced a wired Apple mouse. Read more
Got what I paid for. Satisfied and it’ small enough for travel. Even dropped it twice already. Still works. So I say … ‘recommend’ Read more
Below is the review I left on Dec. 31, 2025, and I must update it. Sad to say, but as of March the mouse is going in the trashcan. It has become jumpy and lurchy, as if it cannot maintain a continuous Bluetooth connection, and I feel I'm constantly at war with it. Furthermore, I never got comfortable with the way it feels, and my hand aches after using it for a spell. Now I have to shop for a replacement. I can no longer recommend! This Satechi M1 wireless mouse seems like a good value, and it connected seamlessly to my MacBook Air. It seems to work fine but, like some others who reviewed it, I find the size and shape a bit awkward. It is not as high as the Logitech mice I've used before, and the shape lacks curvature that conforms to my palm, cramping my hand a bit. There is also a seam near the front edge, right where my index finger wants to rest, in contrast with the smooth-surfaced Logitech mice. I'll probably get used to the way it feels, but it detracts a bit from my initial positive feelings about this mouse. Read more
A relatively small mouse with a rechargeable battery at a reasonable price. Can work for several months with one charge, but I imagine that that depends on how you use it. It is also good-looking, well priced, and seems to be well made. I purchased 3 Satechi mice in the past, one of them a few months ago. The other two worked well for at least 3 years. My experience with the Satechi keyboard or Mac mini hub was not that positive: those devices lasted less that an year and give me problems from the beginning. My experience with the mouse has been much better. Read more
Love this mouse. It works perfectly with an M1 Ultra MacBook Pro - and I give it a workout. It is responsive, quality construction, and looks good on my desk. If you have big hands it may be on the small side. I'm a 9.5-10 ring size, and it is very comfortable for me; I can grip the sides, and arch my index finger over the top to click / scroll. I also use a larger Redragon Vampire Elite (which I also like), but for everyday use I prefer the Satechi M1. And it looks better! Read more
I've had this mouse for 6 months, pairing it with both my MacBook Air 2025 & iPad Mini 4. I didn't want to overspend on a mouse and this was well-reviewed as a budget mouse. All-in-all, it's an acceptable product...but in this price range, the Satechi On-the-Go mouse looks like the better performer. PROS: 1. It's got a beautiful, sleek look. The pictures don't quite do it justice. It' flat out gorgeous. 2. It's wireless; no need to use half of my USB-C ports (MacBook Air gives me a grand total of TWO) for a mouse (except when charging). 3. Its front USB-C charging port lets me use it while it's being charged. 4. It charges quickly and the charge lasts a good long time. 5. It's ambidextrous (yes, I'm a lefty, so this is a big thing). This should be a no-brainer but apparently it slips past the thinking of a lot of hardware designers that LEFT-HANDERS USE TECH TOO. The struggle is real. 6. The big one: PRICE. I had no idea how costly Mac-compatible mouses/mice/meeses were because I've always been a Windows or Linux guy. This is a solid budget option. BUT--it does come with some... CONS: 1. Its low profile looks good but isn't all that comfortable. And... 2. The scroll wheel is...problematic. I have smaller hands and thought a smallish mouse would be no problem. With a higher profile, maybe it wouldn't be. As it is, I often find myself moving from the mouse to the laptop's touchpad for easier scrolling. The fit of the scroll wheel is just not comfortable for me. Of course, your mileage may vary. 3. No MacOS driver is available. Of course, it's a basic mouse, so why would it need a driver? Still, just a little more customization would have been nice. 4. Switching between devices has been a problem. This model, unlike the On-the-Go model (and others in this price range), doesn't have device-indicator buttons. If you intend to switch between devices, you'll need to manually disconnect from one device and connect to the other. I had issues trying to reconnect back to the MacBook from the iPad Mini & in the end simply deleted the mouse from the Mini. Now it's a one-device device. The Satechi On-the-Go wasn't available on Amazon when I bought the M1. If it had been, I'd have gone with that. Right now I'm undecided as to whether I'll plug along with the M1 or go for the On-the-Go (or perhaps something else). I'm a cheap guy and the M1 is adequate. And adequate is very under-rated.
