Keychron M3 Mini: What Real Users Say About the Budget Magnesium Mouse

3395 sensor, 4000hz polling, small shape at 64g so a little dense by today's standards but it's still far and away the cheapest way to experience a magnesium mouse.

Metal, gets less dirty than plastic, feels nicer, more solid, etc.

Magnesium version was same price a few days ago

You can compare the shape of this mouse with other mice on eloshapes: https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=keychron-m3-mini-4k-metal-edition

Weighs more than the plastic version. The WLMouse hit 39g, this is 25g heavier, like holding an extra G-wolves HSK Pro in your hands haha.

Genuinely had no idea keychron made mice, but their keyboards are great

I don't need a new mouse but this is definitely tempting.

Also if you know anyone with a 3D printer, you can have them print out a test mouse for you to get a feeling for the shape before you buy one!

This over the G303. Better sensor, and the battery is built in.

I did and returned it. Too small, feels cheap, the magnesium is very thin and light and frankly didn't feel any more solid to me than a mid tier plastic. Makes sense considering magnesium is a light metal itself. Just don't buy this thinking it's the mouse version of a nice aluminum case keyboard. It's not like that.

M3 mini user here and I have a Zowie S2 and Lamzu Atlantis. In terms of back, the M3 while being wider is wider at the bottom of the body, and the hump is slightly towards the middle instead of the back. So in terms of palm contact the M3 mini does feel closer to the Viper Mini than the Lamzu. At least in my experience.

and doesn't use the stupid ghub, while also not having the logitech tax. one thing I found better on the g303 was the wheel

At that price I would've looked past the creaking, rattling and paint chipping of the one I paid full price for.

Ok, fine I will replace my years old cant believe its still working G305 with this

I've used both the M3 Mini & the M3 Mini 4k and they're actually quite solid mice! If you have med-small hands and play claw they're solid! However if you have larger hands depending on your grip your thumb can sometimes prevent the main clicks from actuating, only on big hands though. Also the sensor performance on all keychron's mice is very solid.

An update I would provide is the m1/m2 have started creaking after a few months of heavy use. I play apex as my main game so that's A LOT of clicking/holding the mouse has gone through. It's gotten so annoying that I have stopped using it, and I'm back on my Cobra wired. Something to keep in mind as a possible issue I guess.

Mine came in and it is the Magnesium Alloy Edition

Same here. I'm really enjoying it so far.

I'm curious to try but staying strong not buying anymore mice for now. The keyboard thing is the usb receiver. Actually hilarious and awesome.

bros prob never bought anything from them before

Yup, just got mine on saturday and honestly liking it. It's nice and light but also pretty robust so should last a long time. Just wish it had tilt switch middle mouse button and it would be perfect, but at least the software lets me reconfigure the buttons.

I don't think they are looking to compete at the super light segment. The weight is practically almost the same as their M3 mini 4k mouse, just that this is using magnesium alloy material. I think they see a market where people just want that material and perhaps a different aesthetic that comes with it but at slightly more affordable price than competitors.

Seems like a cool little mouse

Loving my M3 mini. I find the chalky coating nice but did add dot grips on each side. Weight is amazing and it's still rather wide which is nice for people with larger hands. The only thing that could be better is the side buttons if they were like the DAV3.

I am now returning the product. It has a lot of errors. The software is undemanding and the whole product has a cheap plastic effect.

it's a must have for any macos user that doesn't wanna use apples fuck ass magic mouse

This is a pretty nice mouse, I'm glad I went with this. People were arguing about the weight being high for a 'light weight' mouse but the sturdiness is a nice trade off that most light weight mice don't have. This is probably the best $25 mouse I'll ever buy

I preordered it and have one, I can confirm the mouse is awesome: It has very nice build quality and rigid frame, you can feel the quality and the durability, one thing I love since the mouse is made of metal and metal is a good thermo conductor, it's always cold so bye bye hand sweat. It feels very light, personally I don't like the idea of 30g mouses because I like to have some weight but 64g for me is quite perfect.

Wish I had read this first. Mine gets hot and stops working until it cools down. Thankfully I ordered through Amazon, will be demanding a refund today.

From reviews, it seems a lot of those issues are affecting more the plastic ones than the metal one. Apparently the metal one has very little flex and is pretty good. At this price it's a steal.

cheapo way to try out these types of mice; why not.

tbh been using this mouse for 2 months and i am pretty happy with it

Follow up, this mouse is fantastic! Quickly became my main mouse, replacing Deathadder V2 Pro. I regret only getting 1.... should have grabbed 3 (home, office, backup)

Copped one! Needed a spare mouse to toss in my laptop bag, this seems perfect. Not too gamer-y looking.

I've had mine for over a month, it's definitely one of my favorite mice. The weight doesn't bother me, but it's noticeable after using the ULX or Beast X. I also enjoy the steps on the scroll wheel, very solid and pronounced.

Ok so I got mine today and honestly I really like the feel, very very responsive in wireless with the receiver.

Mouse is doing good and I still daily it. I did swap out the switches and encoder, not because they were broken, but because I was just getting into the hobby and wanted to try other switches. Besides that, mouse is great!

I really wish they'd make more. Kicking myself for not pre-ordering.

Several common fixes are advised for the lag issue: Add -nojoy; -thread into the launch options of the game. Lower Hz — commonly it's related to people who play above 1000hz. Unplug joystick usb receivers. Change the mouse usb receiver position, closer to mouse and maybe put into the other input.

I am having the same issue with my M3 Mini 8K. You ever find a fix?

it's a good deal for the price, but if you want lighter with a similar sensor there's similarly priced options available
