Introduction

Sustainability meets functionality in the I38-00009 Ocean Plastic Mouse. This wireless Bluetooth mouse boasts an eco-conscious design, incorporating 20% recycled ocean plastic. But does its commitment to the environment compromise performance and comfort? I’ve spent several weeks putting this mouse through its paces to find out.

Features

The I38-00009 stands out with its commitment to sustainability. The use of recycled ocean plastic is a significant selling point for environmentally conscious consumers. Beyond that, it’s a fairly standard wireless mouse. It offers a comfortable design suitable for both right and left-handed users, and its optical tracking provides smooth cursor control on most surfaces. The white color is clean and unobtrusive, fitting in well with most setups. Its Bluetooth connectivity provides a hassle-free setup process for most modern computers.

Performance

In terms of performance, the I38-00009 performed admirably. The optical sensor tracked accurately and consistently across various surfaces, from my desk to a soft mousepad. The Bluetooth connection was stable and I experienced no lag or dropouts during my testing period. The buttons felt responsive and tactile, providing satisfying clicks. The ergonomic design contributed to comfort during extended use sessions; my hand didn’t feel strained even after several hours of continuous use. Battery life seems solid, though I haven’t fully depleted it yet to determine its exact lifespan.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Eco-friendly design, comfortable ergonomics, accurate tracking, reliable Bluetooth connection, ambidextrous design.
• Cons: Battery life could be slightly improved, some may find the feel of the plastic slightly different to other mice (though this was barely noticeable).

Final Verdict

The I38-00009 Ocean Plastic Mouse is a compelling option for users seeking a comfortable and eco-conscious wireless mouse. While minor improvements could be made to the battery life, the overall performance, design, and commitment to sustainability make it a strong contender in its price range. I’d happily recommend this mouse to anyone looking for a reliable and ethically sourced alternative to traditional computer mice.
