Some parts are imported but itβs probably as European as possible at the moment. Details about production can be found here: https://www.nager-it.de/en/maus/fertigung. Unfortunately their shop seem to be only accessible in German.

Nice picture and effort for only one product. This takes dedication. The mouse is ugly, though ππ«£
hm. i really like the classic design. what design would you prefer?
I'm a great fan of Logitech for gaming (G602) and office (MX Master 3). But from the looks of it, it's a different need. For a more mobile solution I once bought a Logitech M70, which is also a little bit curved, for a angled hand rest.
30β¬, no side buttons
You need to add more slavery and exploitation to the production method to make it cheaper.
I donβt have a problem with the price. I spent 70β¬ on my mouse, but I will not use a mouse with no side buttons in 2025β¦
Or just mass production...
Economies of scale play a role too, and China certainly has that. Neglecting the environment and employee rights arenβt really a big deal in there, but in Germany they are. On top of that, there are also big differences in living standards, which is reflected in the wages. All of that stacked together, and you end up with massive price differences.
Most important role by far. For example their wood wheel is (currently) hand made.
And I think china is much better at the environment thing then you think. I know they are insane when it comes to chemical waste. Idk about germany, but usa (and my country, and others I know of) is far worse when it comes to polution per product.
Nothing of it matters as I will never buy a mouse without 5 buttons. I could tolerate a wire, barely.
Oh, and the best for the environment is to not buy a new mouse unless you need it. Mine is like over 5 years old and I won't get a new one until it breaks.
Anyway this seems like a good thing they want to do. No matter how bs their cost breakdown page is.
Cool project but its like a relic of past times.
The design is debatable but undoutably very old school.
Costs 45β¬ on digitec currently, which is a difficult to justify price for a mouse with 2β¬ aliexpress mouse features. Only reasonable if ethical production is very high on your priority list.
It has only two buttons and a mouse wheel, even the clickable mouse wheel functionality is optional and not standard.
It maxes out at 1000 DPI (The wireless Logitech G305 for 35β¬ can do 3200dpi). Though 1k is generally fine, more concerning is the following:
Its ADNS-2700 sensor has a polling rate of 125Hz (G305 can do up to 1000Hz). This means it will look like its lagging when you drag it across the screen quickly..
This is maybe a product for old people that have their mouse speed at like 200dpi, but anyone used to the comforts of side buttons, mouse wheel click and smooth mouse movement won't be happy with this experiment.

Not quite from what I can gather. Supposedly the working conditions of the companies/ trading partners are rated (according to the principles listed under https://www.nager-it.de/en/maus/umsetzung/details).
Got good working conditions apparently.
