UGREEN M256 Slim Bluetooth Rechargeable Mouse is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,500, available today at our Nairobi CBD store located at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. The UGREEN M256 ships with both 2.4GHz wireless connectivity through the included USB-A receiver and Bluetooth 5.0 for cable-free pairing with phones and tablets. A built-in rechargeable battery removes the recurring cost of AAA replacements, and the quiet-click switches keep the mouse usable during meetings, in shared workspaces, and on late-night calls without disturbing the people around you.
The UGREEN M256 is built for accountants, lawyers, marketing professionals, journalists, and university students who move between offices, cafés, and home workstations across Kenya. Hot-desking professionals at Westlands co-working spaces, NGO field staff visiting county offices, and Strathmore or Kenyatta University students writing dissertations on shared library computers all face the same problem: a bulky mouse that drains AA batteries and clicks loudly in quiet rooms. The UGREEN M256 solves that with a slim profile that drops into a laptop sleeve, USB-C top-up charging from any phone brick, and silent switches that respect the people sharing your workspace.
Mascom International stocks the UGREEN M256 because Kenyan buyers have asked for a sub-KSh 3,000 wireless mouse that actually lasts. Customers across Nairobi report frustration with cheap unbranded mice that fail within months. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International stands behind the UGREEN M256 with a 12-month manufacturer warranty processed directly from our Nairobi CBD service desk. Walk into Old Mutual Building Monday through Saturday to test the click feel and dual-mode switching on your own laptop before paying, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of the 47 counties.
Common Questions About the UGREEN M256
What is the UGREEN M256 Slim Bluetooth Mouse and how does it work in Kenya?
The UGREEN M256 is a dual-mode wireless mouse that connects to laptops, tablets, and phones through either a 2.4GHz USB-A receiver or direct Bluetooth 5.0 pairing. A connection button on the underside switches between modes in one press, so you can use the mouse with a Dell or HP work laptop through the receiver while still pairing instantly with a personal iPad or Samsung tablet over Bluetooth. The slim profile sits flat in any laptop bag pocket. The rechargeable battery tops up through a standard USB-C cable, the same cable that charges most modern phones sold in Kenya.
How long does the UGREEN M256 battery last between charges?
The UGREEN M256 carries a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that supports weeks of typical office use per full charge, depending on daily hours of clicking and scrolling. A full top-up takes roughly 1 to 2 hours through any standard USB-C cable plugged into a phone charger, laptop USB port, or power bank. An auto-sleep feature kicks in after a few minutes of inactivity to preserve charge while the mouse sits in your bag during matatu commutes. The USB-C charging port removes the recurring KSh 200-400 monthly cost that AA-battery mice add up to over a year of office work.
Is the UGREEN M256 compatible with MacBook, iPad, and Windows laptops sold in Kenya?
Yes, the UGREEN M256 works across Windows 7 through Windows 11, macOS, Linux distributions, Android tablets and phones, iPadOS tablets, and HarmonyOS devices. The 2.4GHz USB-A receiver plugs into any Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, or Acer laptop with a standard USB-A port. MacBook Air and MacBook Pro users without USB-A ports can pair the mouse via Bluetooth 5.0 instead. iPad Pro, iPad Air, and Samsung Galaxy Tab S users get full pointer support through Bluetooth pairing. The dual-mode design means one mouse covers your work laptop, personal tablet, and phone without needing three separate accessories.
Why does the UGREEN M256 have quiet click switches and who needs them?
The UGREEN M256 uses silent micro-switches that reduce click noise to a soft tap instead of the loud snap of a standard mouse. This matters for journalists filing stories from the KICC press centre, accountants reconciling books in shared open-plan offices in Upper Hill, university students working in quiet Strathmore or USIU library zones, and remote workers on Zoom calls from home where the microphone picks up every click. The tactile feedback stays clear so you still feel each click register, but the audible noise drops by roughly 90 percent compared to a standard office mouse.
How does the UGREEN M256 compare to a Logitech M170 or generic KSh 800 wireless mouse?
The UGREEN M256 sits a tier above entry-level wireless mice on three counts. First, dual-mode connectivity (2.4GHz plus Bluetooth) means it pairs with phones and tablets where Logitech M170 only handles laptops via receiver. Second, the rechargeable battery removes the AA-battery recurring cost that adds up to KSh 2,400+ over two years on a Logitech M170. Third, the quiet-click switches handle meeting-room and library use where standard mice get noticed. At KSh 2,500, the UGREEN M256 lands between throwaway KSh 800 mice and KSh 5,500+ Logitech MX Anywhere units while covering the practical needs of daily Kenyan office work.
What devices can the UGREEN M256 switch between with one button press?
The UGREEN M256 stores one 2.4GHz USB-A receiver pairing plus one Bluetooth 5.0 pairing simultaneously. A short press on the mode button switches between the two. In practical use, that means you can leave the USB-A receiver plugged into your work Dell Latitude or HP EliteBook all day while keeping your personal iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab paired over Bluetooth. Switching between the laptop and tablet takes one click. The mouse remembers both pairings even after powering off, so opening the lid the next morning reconnects instantly without re-pairing dialogues.
What is the wireless range of the UGREEN M256 in real office conditions?
The UGREEN M256 maintains a stable wireless connection at up to 10 metres of line-of-sight distance from the paired device, whether through the 2.4GHz USB receiver or Bluetooth 5.0. In typical Kenyan office layouts, that covers the full distance from a desk to a presentation laptop connected to a meeting-room TV. Walls and metal partitions reduce the practical range to around 5-7 metres. The 2.4GHz mode generally holds a slightly more stable signal than Bluetooth for continuous heavy use like CAD work or video editing, while Bluetooth saves you the USB-A port for other accessories.
Where can I buy the UGREEN M256 with warranty in Nairobi?
