Logitech - M705 Marathon Wireless Optical Mouse with 5 Programmable Buttons - Wireless - Black

I don't know all the intricacies of mouse usage. If you are like me and just want to know if it works well, IT DOES. I always forget to switch it off because I am not on this computer often, but the batteries have not yet run out, so yay. It moves smoothly on my mousepad. The scroll wheel works as it should. It conforms nicely to my hand.

The design is very ergonomic and the most important thing to me is the type of paint or coating that's on it, this mouse has a matte paint coating on top and rubber grips on each side which is good as it doesn't picks up finger oils as a glossy painted mouse would. The next great thing about this mouse is the buttons and this one has 8 buttons with 6 programmable to anything you want them to be, and the scroll wheel can be high speed or normal speed which is great for a lot of applications.

Overall very easy to use, and functional. It is very responsive and easily handles quick workflows. The clicker and scrolling mechanism are a little loud, but not a big issue at all.

I got this to replace a very old wired Microsoft mouse. I needed a mouse that would work with my desktop and laptop, was comfortable to use and configurable, as well as being reasonably priced. The Logitech M705 Marathon mouse seemed to be the best option for me and I got it at a great price. I have been using it for about 4 weeks now. It works well, meets my expectations, works as advertised, and appears to be well made. With the Logitech Options+ software (an optional download), you can easily and quickly setup and configure the mouse as well as update the firmware in the mouse and the USB Unifying receiver (included). The mouse itself, is a good size for my hands. I like a full-sized mouse with some weight, because it gives me greater control over the movements. The scroll wheel is very smooth and the mouse buttons are easy to use and silent. However, the Forward/Back mouse buttons on the left side, did take some getting used to. Those buttons don't stick out as far and are in a slightly different place than my old mouse. So, I had a harder time finding the right spot without looking. Also, the Forward button seems to be smaller and hard to press. The sensitivity isn't adjustable and is fixed at 1,000 dpi. Overall, I would give this 4.5 stars, with the only downside being the mouse buttons. I especially like that the Logitech M705 has a 3-year warranty. For the price, I feel this is a very good value and I would certainly recommend this mouse.

I’ve been using this mouse for an extended period of time. Very precise, good connection, battery life is about 2 years even though I leave it on and actively use it about 50 hours a week!
