In September<\/a>, Genius announced the Energy Mouse<\/a>, a two-in-one function mouse combined with an internal power bank to recharge a mobile device. The power bank feature of Energy Mouse is an interesting feature, so how does it perform?<\/p>\n

The packaging is simple and focuses on the innovative power bank feature of Energy Mouse.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the mouse itself next.<\/p>\n

The Energy Mouse:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genius does not give an actual weight of the mouse, but we weighed it ourselves and it came out to 122g.<\/p>\n

Energy Mouse’s quality was surprisingly good and it felt very light. While it won\u2019t stun anyone based on it\u2019s looks, it is a quality mouse.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rubber grips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genius placed rubber hand grips for comfort and ease. The rubber texture is placed under my thumb and is identical on the opposite side.<\/p>\n

The top of the Energy Mouse features four LEDs, an on\/off switch for the power bank, the scroll wheel, and a rubber grip. The four LEDs indicate the charge status and the amount of power left in the mouse.<\/p>\n

Genius\u2019 U.S Patented Magic roller scroll wheel moves nicely and makes it easier to scroll up and down on websites or maybe across a music playlist. The roller itself is not plastic, but rubber which gives it a sturdy feel.<\/p>\n

Power Bank:<\/strong><\/p>\n
