I'd argue that it's more of a 'If we don't send them something to get bootstrapped, the customers will complain, so throw in a cheap kbd and mouse and stick our logo on it', but they JUST happened to be SLIGHTLY less cheap than everyone who makes 'gaming' mice.
I'm under no illusions, it's a really cheap mouse, just its one that has a good sensor.
Mainly I have it because it was free and we had a closet filled with a few hundred of them.
I used to have an old MS Pro mouse that was literally my favorite pointing device EVER made but it was SD resolution so useless in modern machines, and the cash grab piece of crap that MS just re-released a few years ago to get a piece of that sweet nostalgia pie was worse than any razr I've ever used.
I just want to click on heads and it's crazy that gaming mice are so poorly made nowadays that free server mice are objectively better.
