One of the main drawbacks of thin and light laptops and tablets is the limited number of I/O ports. This often requires you to carry an extra adapter or docking station, which can be inconvenient for travel or daily use. To solve this problem, Sanhe Supply Launched A wireless mouse with a receiver that doubles as a compact docking station. The mouse comes in two models: the 400-MAWBT209BK in black and silver and the 400-MAWBT209BK2 in black and blue.
The main feature of the device is its USB Type-C receiver, which is more than just a wireless mouse. The receiver incorporates additional functionality and serves as a mini-docking station. It includes an HDMI output that supports external displays with resolutions up to 4K @ 60Hz, making it easy to connect to a monitor or projector.
Additionally, the receiver features a USB Type-C port that is compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps), allowing users to connect peripherals such as USB hard drives, memory sticks, and keyboards. However, Sanwa notes that devices using USB 3.2 Gen 1 may interfere with 2.4GHz wireless networks, which may cause occasional connection issues. The same port also supports up to 100W of USB Power Delivery (PD), of which the mouse itself uses 10W, leaving up to 90W available for charging a connected PC or other device.
This mouse supports dual wireless connection modes: Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless. A sliding switch on the bottom allows the user to switch between the two modes. For portability, the USB Type-C receiver stores conveniently in a compartment on the bottom of the mouse.
In terms of functionality, the mouse has five buttons, a blue LED optical sensor, and resolutions adjustable to 800, 1,200 and 1,600 DPI to suit different usage preferences. It’s powered by a rechargeable battery that can be fully charged in about three hours.
The device supports a communication range of approximately 10 meters on non-magnetic surfaces and approximately 2 meters on magnetic surfaces. The mouse itself measures 61 x 121 x 38 mm and weighs about 75 grams, while the receiver is compact at 47.4 x 23 x 9 mm and weighs about 10 grams.
