Manufacturer description

The Cherry MW 3000 is a right-handed wireless mouse built for laptop and Chromebook users who want a receiver that never gets lost. Its nano USB receiver connects over 2.4 GHz with an operating range up to 16 feet, and when you pack up, the receiver stows inside the mouse body instead of rattling around your bag. The IR optical sensor switches between 1000 and 1750 dpi, so you can drop to the lower setting for precise cursor work in spreadsheets or step up for faster travel across a large display. Non-slip rubber sides give your thumb and ring finger something to grip during long sessions…

Cherry's keyboards & mice lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Cherry MW 3000 work with a Chromebook?

Yes. It uses a nano USB receiver that plugs into a standard USB port and works as a plug-and-play 2.4 GHz device, which is how it is marketed for laptops and Chromebooks. No pairing software is required.

How far can I sit from my computer with this mouse?

Cherry rates the 2.4 GHz wireless link at an operating distance of up to 16 feet, which covers desk use and most couch-to-display setups.

What dpi settings does the MW 3000 offer?

The IR optical sensor has a switchable resolution of 1000 or 1750 dpi. Use 1000 dpi for precise cursor work and 1750 dpi for faster movement across a wider screen.

Is there a warranty on the Cherry MW 3000?

Yes, it includes a 2-year warranty from Cherry on model number JW-T0100. Check the product listing for current terms and regional coverage.

Where does the USB receiver go when I pack up my laptop bag?

The nano receiver stows inside the mouse itself, so it travels with the mouse instead of loose in a bag or left behind in a laptop port.
