A compact wireless manipulator with silent buttons, a convenient scrolling wheel, good battery life, and a design that will especially appeal to girls. But is this model worth recommending, and what else might it interest users? Let's try to find out.
Packaging
Let's look at everything in order. The RM-370W's packaging could be called standard if it weren't for one important detail. The thing is, not every second or third mouse priced at 349 UAH from other manufacturers comes with a built-in battery and support for passthrough charging. In this regard, the REAL-EL RM-370W has a certain advantage in its price segment. Thus, apart from the main hero of the review, the box includes a suitable charging cable, a micro receiver, and the necessary documentation.

Everything mentioned comes in a compact cardboard package, designed in the style of REAL-EL – a combination of the well-known black, red, and orange colors with other shades, detailed technical specifications, and other useful information.
Body Materials and Build Quality Impressions
The REAL-EL RM-370W is an elegant and neat model that looks harmonious in a certain sense; personally, it reminds me of a girl's fingers with fresh manicure. By the way, if you, our charming girls, have never done a manicure to match your computer mouse, the RM-370W may "inspire" you to do so. Yes, this game with the atmosphere can be quite unpredictable. However, to be fair, the color of the mouse, the design aesthetics, and the overall attention to detail are worth it. And yes, even affordable mice from REAL-EL can impress.
In addition to "girl's charisma," the REAL-EL RM-370W also draws attention with the symmetry of its body design, making this model comfortable for both right-handed and left-handed users. The latter will need a little longer to get used to the button placement on the left, but this "nuance" is not critical. And symmetry is a classic that will outlive the mice themselves.
The REAL-EL RM-370W is not only a compact manipulator but also very lightweight; it's designed so that even teenage girls can use it comfortably. The main body material is plastic. In addition to plastic, there is also a bit of silicone (on the scroll wheel rim), Teflon (feet on the bottom panel), and metal.
Regarding build quality, there are no complaints. There are no compromises between style, precision of details, and quality of materials – high qualification is easily visible at all stages.
Ergonomics of Functional Elements
Let's continue with the interesting. Have you ever encountered a wireless mouse with a removable bottom panel? Personally, I haven't. I don't exclude that REAL-EL is not the pioneer in this regard and that the RM-370W is not the first of its kind, but it should be noted that there are very few of them, which makes them intriguing. I liked this. I hope to see various modifications of such removable panels for sale (or even better – as a bonus in the package). Modding on mice… Why not!
Under the removable panel, users will find a slot with the aforementioned micro receiver, nearby is a screw that secures the parts of the casing. And here too, this is considered a plus – the disassembled format at the user level improves the possibility of repairs or servicing when necessary. In this part of the housing, it's easy to find a power switch + a sticker with various technical information.
On the top panel, there are silent left/right click buttons, a scrolling wheel, and a DPI switch.
On the left panel, there are forward/back buttons.
Battery and Autonomy
An obvious advantage of the "wireless" in this price segment is the built-in battery; its capacity is indicated in the specification table below.
As for the autonomy, I leave this question open, since I couldn't discharge the battery in the ten testing days. I note that I worked with the mouse daily for 5-6 hours. In my opinion, this is a good result, and I should mention that this is not the maximum. Currently, we are still testing the REAL-EL RM-370W, so we will receive updated data on autonomy later.
And one more point worth reminding – the support for passthrough charging function.
In Conclusion
You get accustomed to the REAL-EL RM-370W incredibly quickly – no adaptation period is needed. This is yet another argument in favor of purchasing this model by girls (or for girls). You simply want to use it.
As for the connection and signal stability, there are no questions – fast and reliable, with no "underwater rocks." Within the manufacturer-specified 10 meters of direct sight, there were no connection drops – personally verified.
The REAL-EL RM-370W is an affordable wireless mouse that is sure to please. The excellent combination of feminine elegance in design with good functionality and battery life gives this model considerable appeal for purchase.
