Lenovo 4Y51S61874 Wireless Multi-Mode Pro Mouse
Overview
The Lenovo Wireless Multi-Mode Pro Mouse 6000 (4Y51S61874) is a full-size, symmetrical wireless computer mouse built for professionals who move between workstations, docking stations, and conference rooms without wanting to manage a bag of dongles. It pairs over both Bluetooth 5.3 and a 2.4 GHz USB-A nano-receiver, so you can keep one connection slot reserved for a keyboard or headset while the mouse stays reliably tethered to whichever radio is less congested. The Eclipse Black finish and recycled-plastic body signal intent without announcing itself — this is a working tool, not a statement piece.
Key Features
- Dual Wireless Modes (Bluetooth 5.3 + 2.4 GHz RF): Bluetooth 5.3 keeps the USB-A port free for other peripherals — a genuine advantage on ultra-slim notebooks with only two ports. The 2.4 GHz nano-receiver mode is the fallback when you're in a Bluetooth-dense open office and latency starts to creep. Switch between them based on the environment, not the hardware.
- 4000 DPI Optical Sensor (3-Level Adjustable): Three DPI steps let you dial between precision cursor placement on a 4K display and fast sweeps across multi-monitor spans. At 4000 DPI maximum, the sensor handles 27-inch 4K monitors without feeling cramped — a resolution many budget wireless mice top out at 1600 DPI and miss entirely.
- 8 Programmable Buttons + 4-Way Scroll Wheel: Eight total buttons — including the 4-way tilt scroll — give you enough inputs to assign application shortcuts, browser navigation, or document navigation actions without reaching for the keyboard. The 4-way scroll is particularly useful in wide spreadsheets, where horizontal scrolling by keyboard modifier is a constant interruption.
- 3-Year Battery Life on a Single AA: A single AA battery rated for three years of use means this mouse is effectively maintenance-free for most enterprise deployment cycles. No proprietary battery packs, no charging cables to lose, no dead mouse mid-presentation — just a standard cell available in any office supply closet.
- Full-Size Symmetrical Form Factor: The symmetrical shape accommodates left- and right-handed users without requiring two SKUs, which simplifies procurement for mixed-handed teams or hot-desking environments. At 4.4 × 2.4 × 1.4 inches, it's proportioned for all-day use without the hand fatigue that compact travel mice accumulate over an 8-hour workday.
- 95% Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic: The chassis is constructed from 95% post-consumer-waste plastic — relevant for organizations with ESG procurement criteria or supply chain sustainability reporting requirements. This isn't a marketing footnote; it's a verifiable material specification that can be cited in procurement documentation.
- Windows 10 / Windows 11 Compatibility: Plug-and-play on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 without driver installation for basic function. Enterprise IT teams can deploy this across a Windows fleet without staging custom driver packages — the mouse is operational the moment it connects.
Integration & Compatibility
The 4Y51S61874 connects to any USB-A host port via the included nano-receiver, or pairs natively over Bluetooth 5.3 to any compatible notebook or tablet. Verified OS support covers Windows 10 and Windows 11 on PC — Mac and Linux are not listed in the manufacturer's compatibility data, so confirm before specifying for mixed-OS environments. The mouse is classified for use with notebooks and tablets, making it the right fit for mobile workstations, hot-desk setups, and conference room peripherals kits. Pair it with a wireless keyboard to complete a cable-free workspace setup. For teams evaluating the broader wireless peripherals buying guide, the dual-mode connectivity here offers more flexibility than single-mode Bluetooth-only alternatives at this price tier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 4Y51S61874 require driver installation on Windows 11?
A: No. The mouse operates plug-and-play on Windows 10 and Windows 11 via the USB-A nano-receiver for basic functionality. Advanced button remapping may require Lenovo's peripheral software, but the mouse is functional out of the box without it.
Q: Can the 4Y51S61874 connect to two devices simultaneously and switch between them?
A: The mouse supports both Bluetooth 5.3 and 2.4 GHz RF connections, but you use one mode at a time — the nano-receiver for one device and Bluetooth for another. Multi-device simultaneous operation is not listed in the manufacturer specifications.
Q: What battery does the 4Y51S61874 use, and how long does it last?
A: It uses a single AA battery rated for up to 3 years of typical use. The AA format means replacements are universally available — no proprietary cells or charging cables required.
Q: Is the 4Y51S61874 compatible with Mac or Linux?
A: Lenovo's listed compatibility covers Windows 10 and Windows 11 on PC. Mac and Linux are not listed in the manufacturer's verified compatibility data. Basic pointer function may work via Bluetooth on other platforms, but this cannot be confirmed from available specification evidence.
Q: What is the warranty on the 4Y51S61874?
A: The 4Y51S61874 carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty per the product specification sheet.
Q: Is the 4Y51S61874 suitable for left-handed users?
A: Yes. The mouse uses a symmetrical full-size form factor, which accommodates both left- and right-handed users without requiring a separate SKU.
The thing that stands out to me about the 4Y51S61874 in a fleet context is the 3-year battery runtime on a single AA. When you're managing dozens or hundreds of wireless peripherals across a campus or hot-desk environment, battery logistics become a real administrative burden — tracking charge cycles, collecting mice for overnight charging, fielding tickets about dead hardware. A three-year AA-based mouse essentially removes itself from that equation for the length of a typical device refresh cycle.
Technical Highlights:
- Bluetooth 5.3 + 2.4 GHz Dual Radio: Bluetooth 5.3 is the more power-efficient path and keeps the USB-A port free, but the nano-receiver option matters in dense wireless environments (trade show floors, open offices with heavy BT device counts) where Bluetooth collision can introduce cursor jitter. Having both on one device means IT doesn't need two SKUs to cover both environments.
- 4000 DPI / 3-Level Optical Sensor: The 3-level DPI adjustment is a practical feature for users who split time between precise CAD-style cursor work and multi-monitor navigation. Most productivity mice in this class top out at 1600 DPI, so 4000 DPI gives this device headroom for 4K display users without forcing them into a gaming peripheral.
- 95% Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic: For organizations with documented sustainability procurement requirements — ISO 14001 programs, CDP reporting, or internal ESG targets — this is a verifiable material spec you can cite. It's not common to see this level of recycled content on a full-size professional mouse, which typically prioritizes texture and rigidity over material sourcing.
Deployment Considerations:
- Windows 10/11 only per manufacturer specs — don't specify this for mixed Windows/macOS hot-desk deployments without confirming Bluetooth HID compatibility on macOS separately, as it isn't covered in the available evidence.
- The nano-receiver is USB-A — notebooks with only USB-C ports (common in recent ultrabook refreshes) will need a USB-C adapter or hub, which adds a procurement dependency. Confirm your notebook fleet has USB-A before deploying at scale.
This mouse is a strong fit for Windows-standardized enterprise environments executing a peripheral refresh alongside a notebook fleet rollout — particularly where hot-desking, sustainability reporting, or BT-congested office environments are factors in the buying decision.
