Pair the AULA SC800 MAX to the laptop by Bluetooth and run the home PC on its 2.4GHz receiver. A cable covers the third mode. At 48g it barely adds weight to a laptop bag, and Evetech offers black and white versions with a 1-year local warranty.
Plenty of people split their day between two machines: a laptop for work or lectures and a PC at home for everything else. Carrying one mouse between them is simpler than keeping two, as long as the mouse can talk to both without fuss. The AULA SC800 MAX is a 48g tri-mode model, and setting it up as a mouse for laptop and PC takes only a few minutes.
Pair the AULA SC800 MAX to your laptop over Bluetooth, and use its 2.4GHz receiver on the home PC. The wired connection covers the third mode whenever you want a cable. At 48g it barely adds anything to a laptop bag, and it comes in black or white, at R629 either way, with a 1 Year Local Warranty from Evetech.
Bluetooth uses the laptop's own radio, so it needs no receiver and leaves every USB port free. Pair the SC800 MAX once in the laptop's Bluetooth settings, and it will be ready whenever you are at that machine. This is also the most convenient link for working in a coffee shop, a library or a meeting room.
The receiver is the better link for a desktop, particularly for gaming. Plug it into a USB port, ideally one near the front of the PC or on a short extension so it has a clear path to the mouse. Leave it there permanently.
The cable is there when you want a direct connection, for example on a desk where you would rather not think about wireless at all.
No. That is the neat part of this setup. The receiver lives in the home PC, and the laptop uses Bluetooth. Nothing small needs to go in your bag, which means nothing small to lose.
Switching between the two is a matter of choosing the mode on the mouse for the machine you are sitting at.
A laptop, charger, notebook and water bottle already make a bag heavy. A 48g mouse is close to the lightest you will find, so it adds almost nothing. It also takes up little room and is easy to use on a small table or a tray.
At the desk, the same low weight means less effort for every movement over a long day, which helps whether you are editing documents or gaming.
It works, but for games it is best to use the 2.4GHz receiver at the home PC. Bluetooth is designed for convenience and battery efficiency, and it suits laptops, office tasks and casual play well. For competitive games, the receiver or the cable is the stronger choice.
If a mode still fails after that, contact Evetech. The SC800 MAX in both colours is supported locally, so there is no need to send a mouse abroad.
