Delux Mini Ice Charge Wireless Right-Handed

An ode to the 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 terms of colour and performance.

Why the Delux Mini?

The Delux Mini subtly reveals its strongest point. It's a nice compact mouse that is ideal for smaller hands. Of course, we've tested it ourselves, and the mouse is perfectly usable for hand lengths up to 185 mm and hand widths up to 85 mm. 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 lies relatively close to the fingers, which promotes hand relaxation. You can decide for yourself 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 stealth of a ninja. Great for colleagues!

The mouse comes with a 140 cm long charging cable. This cable allows the mouse's integrated battery to 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. Once 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 turn it off with 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 connect via Bluetooth (4.0), but can also work wirelessly via USB (2.4Ghz) thanks to the included USB dongle. You can find this, by the way, on the underside of the mouse. It's securely held in the recess by a small magnet. So you won't easily lose it.

On the underside 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 longer without discomfort.

Get the most out of the Mini

What the Mini does brilliantly is its versatile usability. Windows, Mac OS and Android, it works on everything. With the disappearance of USB ports on MacBooks, the Mini also has no problem. 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.

You also won't hear the Mini complain about the surface. We tested it ourselves on white printer paper and a white desktop, among other things, and it performed brilliantly there too. Not every mouse has that reliability.

Click-resistant

Not that we want to encourage it (because it's prone to RSI, 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 functions. On Mac OS, the backward and forward buttons do not work.

As a Mac user, do you want to be able to use all the buttons? Then consider purchasing the USB Overdrive programme. With this, you can not only get all the buttons working, but you can also assign them any function you have in mind. You can use the programme for free with adverts.
