Delux Mini Ice Charge Wireless Right-Handed

An ode to Delux Mini

A firm handshake for such a little one

"What a lovely little thing. Bought a new mouse? Is it any good? Oh, with extra buttons, you say? Oh, wireless USB and Bluetooth, you say? In a compact form without all those frills like LED lights? Say hello to our new wolf in sheep's clothing, because it tackles RSI like a seasoned ninja. In style, of course. The Delux Mini Ice Charge is the freshest addition to the family, both in colour and performance.

Why the Delux Mini?

The Delux Mini subtly hints at its strongest point. It's a nice compact mouse that is ideal for smaller hands. We've tested it ourselves, of course, and the mouse is perfectly usable for hands up to 185 mm in length and 85 mm in width. The new version — the Delux Mini Ice Charge — has a simpler finish with a single coat of lacquer and no LED strip, but its functionality is on par with its predecessor.

Good for hand and wrist

It's vertical and gentle on the wrist, but also supportive enough to make your hand fall in love with it. The mouse is so finely shaped that the thumb is relatively close to the fingers, which promotes hand relaxation. You can decide where to place your thumb in this fairly spacious indentation.

You can rest your hand comfortably on the mouse. Thanks to the small lip under the little finger, you won't easily rub the side of your hand across the desk. The scroll wheel is pleasantly positioned, usually sitting nicely under the middle finger. This may vary slightly per user. The long buttons ensure that even the smallest hands can operate it.

Complete in many respects

The Mini features 5 buttons and a scroll wheel. In addition to the familiar right and left mouse buttons, there are forward and backward buttons near the thumb. The button just above them is for adjusting the mouse's sensitivity. Very handy when switching between precise tasks and more general work.

All buttons feature a silent click. From now on, you can click yourself tired with the noiselessness of a ninja. Great for colleagues!

The mouse comes with a 140 cm long charging cable. With this cable, the mouse's integrated battery can be charged very quickly. You plug the cable with a USB C connector into the mouse. A blue indicator light illuminates near the connection during charging. As soon as the light goes out, the battery — with a capacity of 500 mAh — is fully charged again. When you're finished with the mouse, you can switch it off using the switch on the bottom. This will make the batteries last longer.

Wireless via USB and Bluetooth

The Delux Mini Ice Charge can be connected wirelessly in 2 ways, which is quite unique. It can be connected via Bluetooth (4.0), but can also work wirelessly via USB (2.4Ghz) thanks to the included USB dongle. You can find this on the underside of the mouse. It's securely held in the recess by a magnet, so you won't easily lose it.

On the bottom of the mouse, you can find the USB and Bluetooth modes. Mode 1 is the wireless USB connection, mode 2 is Bluetooth.

What makes a vertical mouse so good?

The big advantage of a vertical model like the Delux Mini is what it does for your arm. It takes your arm out of the twisted posture that a flat mouse causes. Thanks to the better posture, there is less tension on your arm, and you should be able to use the mouse for longer without discomfort.

Get the most out of the Mini

WinMacDroid

What the Mini does exceptionally well is its versatile usability. Windows, Mac OS, and Android, it works on everything. The Mini also has no problem with the disappearance of USB ports on MacBooks. Where you might connect it via the dongle at work, you can easily use it at home on your MacBook via Bluetooth. You can get by anywhere with the same mouse, and that makes it such a suitable partner.

The Mini won't complain about the surface either. We tested it ourselves on white printer paper and a white desk, among other things, and it performed brilliantly there too. Not every mouse offers that reliability.

Click-resistant

Not that we want to encourage it (because RSI-prone, not funny), but this Delux can withstand quite a few clicks. The Omron switch under the buttons is designed to last up to 10 million clicks.

Don't miss this either

On Windows computers, you can use all the mouse's functions. On Mac OS, the backward and forward buttons do not work.

If you're a Mac user and want to use all the buttons, consider purchasing the USB Overdrive programme. With this, you can not only get all the buttons working, but you can also assign any function you have in mind to them. You can use the programme for free with adverts.
