Anyway, it's made by Autley, those well known, erm, people. But it works fine, as you'd expect. Autley user here too.  This one in fact (although it's out of stock now). All the blurb says it's for people with big hands ("It may not fit well for small hands or women"), but it's been fine for me so far.That's the one I have. MOUSE BROS |

I have an MX Master and I have the back button as the internet back button and the forward button as a quick save for when I'm editing. Very useful but at the same time, very dull. |

How come if a laptop or phone is downstairs it'll connect to the internet through the WiFi, but upstairs it will connect to the WiFi, but say "no internet"? |

Not working? Turn it off and on again. Working, but not responding very well? Turn it off and on again. Working fine, but something else isn't working? Turn it off and on again. Taking slightly longer to do something, while you are sitting watching it? Turn it off and on again. |

I have a logitech C920 which is ideal and was quite cheap... It looks like they're sold out on Amazon at the moment though so I don't think that's very helpful. |

I've got a logitech c270, which cost me £20 and works just fine. I use the built in microphone and nobody has any issues hearing me no matter where I am in the room, but I don't have anyone else in the house so it's always quiet (except when deebot is pottering around). |

Seeing as the benefit will be seen by those you're talking to, I wouldn't bother upgrading. Stick with what you've got. |
