Frustrating POJ...Ripping open the sealed plastic package is the only thing that works with this product, because of the pre-cut opening. That doesn't matter, because the product doesn't work: Popped the included batteries into the mouse (correctly), and inserted it's USB dongle into a USB slot. Windows reports it didn't install correctly and the device may not work properly. No kidding, because - in addition - no light emanates from the "high performance laser" (that's what's printed on it, no kidding!) I then tried three other slots with the same abysmal install results. After turning the mouse on/off switch on, to see if - at least - the laser in the mouse made light, I was right about that suspicion too. Dead donkey. I measured the batteries voltage which was fine, and even tried other, new batteries without any improvement. I returned this POJ, and went back to open another one in the store, going through all the same steps (except the USB dongle). That laser was dead too! The entire box of mouses don't work. No wonder this is on sale. In fact, Costco and Logitech should PAY ME for my time and gas wasted on this stupid product trying to get one to work. Using a ten year old mechanical mouse for now, made when products weren't complete fails, until I can order a simple, $2 wired, optical mouse. DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS JUNK! This posting will end up on my ten global consumer websites in four languages (read by about 310,000,000 readers) as a prominent Southern California Consumer Advocate.

This mouse scrolls on its own, making it impossible to use for any type of editing. The screen view jumps up and down, and zooms in an out on its own because the mouse is spuriously sending the message to move. The underlying root is that the scroll wheel has too much momentum and is very difficult to stop from rolling. It rolls on its own even by the motion of moving the mouse in other ways. In order to make it through the week with it I've had to spend way too much time and effort to slow the wheel before making my next move with the mouse. It takes forever to make sure it's in the right position before I can click and do what I need to do with the mouse. I need a mouse with a wheel so there's no point in just disabling the wheel. I've given it a week and have had enough. I plan to give it away and get something else.

Scroll wheel is unusable in fast mode as it does whatever it wants when moving the mouse, probably not balanced well. Clicks are the loudest, most obnoxious I have ever heard on a mouse. Gives hand cramps as it's too wide even for large hands.

1st one i bought lasted maybe a year before it started acting up. when it worked it was great so figured maybe it was just that one so i replaced it with a new one. this one wouldn't connect so yeah....

Just purchased this as a replacement to an older M705 mouse. I loved the old one that had 3 programmable buttons by the thumb, but this new one is missing one of the thumb buttons. The missing button happened to be the one i used the most. This update should have used a new model number to indicate that it is not the same as the older M705 mice.

i am fooled by these highly rated reviews. Glad i got this while on sale or else i would have regretted for overpaying for this poorly built product. Buttons are so loose, even for gentle moves buttons can shack. i have to give deep press to click the buttons. adding fuel to the flame it makes lousy sound on clicks.

The Logitech - Marathon Mouse M705 Wireless Laser Mouse is one of the most poorly designed mice on the market. EVERY computer mouse in existence has had the sensor it uses in the center of the product, but not this one. This one has it's laser on the very edge on the right side. Unless you plan on moving your entire arm when using this mouse then it is pretty worthless.

This mouse used to be the best for its price, but now it look slike they redesigned it with much cheaper materials and just is not worth $30. The buttons are finicky and the top plastic is very cheap and poor. For $30, there are better mouses and this crap.

This is not a good mouse for ergonomics. Most fingers hang over the end and rest in the spaces between the plastic. The clicks are so loud that it can become distracting to perform tasks.

Receiver is very bad I'm 10 foot away from my TV signal is very bad hard to control the mouse pointer always disappear I had m225 was much better and cheap.
