Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the "Logitech - Marathon Mouse M705 Wireless Laser Mouse - Black" as wearing out my previous Logitech after 5 years of constant and abusive use, breaking the left mouse button, so I repurchased another of the same make and model. The "Logitech - Marathon Mouse M705 Wireless Laser Mouse - Black" is a workhorse and takes a lot of abuse and is very comfortable on the hand and fingers. There are extra buttons that can be programmed or just turned off with the downloadable software that comes with it. I have several Logitech products and have found them all to be outstanding (keyboard, video cams, microphones, etc.)

The MX Master was too big. The MX Anywhere was too small. Despite its age, the Logitech M705 remains the best mid-sized mouse for the everyday user. The size of the M705 allows for it to operate as a travel mouse or permanent fixture and the extended battery life means I don't have to recharge all the time, as comes with MX series mice. Because of the continued reliability and comfort that this mouse provides, my Radiology group has opted to use the M705 at all workstations around the area. Free scroll is a must for my radiologists and the design of the mouse allows for all grip styles.

I have big hands, and I use my Ultra Book in my recliner a lot. My current mouse was a "laptop" mouse, wick was just too small for me to use comfortably. However, I didn't want a *full size" mouse. This mouse was a great choice, it is big enough for my hands, yet not a "full size" mouse. Since I use the very expensive version of this mouse at the office, I figure I would try this one at the house. It has ALL of the options and features you could ever want the a wireless mouse. I just wish that the sensitivity could be a little more adjustable. I highly recommend this mouse to others. - C.A.

Great mouse. Works well with my MacBook Air, and can quickly switch over to my work computer.

I work partly in IT and bought 4 of these mice for 4 different computers (Mac and Windows) for clients, and have been very happy with the performance and battery life. I’ve had these guys for over a year, and I don’t know if I’ve had to change a battery yet. They are quick to setup (plug in the USB adapter and you are good to go). It’s my go to mouse if I need a new one for the cost and reliability.

I'm a big fan of Logitech products and usually have high praise for them. I thought the Logitech M705 Marathon Mouse was just okay. I love that there are a number of programmable buttons using the Logitech Options software, but what irks me the most is that Logitech seemed to get a little lax on the quality. The scroll wheel on my mouse has a little too much play that often times results in accidental clickings of the left and right buttons on the scroll wheel. This never happens on my Logitech MX Anywhere 2s mouse. That one is engineered with much tighter engineering tolerances. However, despite this minor niggle , the Marathon Mouse is still a good enough mouse that I would recommend.

The battery life on the Marathon M705 mouse is outstanding. After 6 months of daily use my duracell batteries are still at 90% of original power. If you hate changing batteries this is the mouse for you. It fits comfortably in my big hands and works well most of the time but....Occasionally it will get "laggy" or feel like the pointer is trying to keep up with the input from the mouse. This could be some interference but other Logitechs Iv'e had never had this problem. This is only once in a while and not nearly often enough to even be an inconvenience. Overall it's a very good mouse at it's price point.

This mouse was purchased a month ago for $30 and has been in use ever since. I spent a lot of (too much) time looking at wireless mice to replace an 8-year old wireless MS Mouse 5000. While the MS mouse was still working, it didn't have the hyper-fast scrolling of the M705 and 8-years is a long time for a mouse. The M705 fits my hand superbly, better than the MS mouse. The fit of the MX Master (latest top of the line Logitech mouse) in my hand was not nearly as good as the M705, either. So the main thing I like about this mouse is the fit. It's only for us right-handers, though, so you south paws are OOL. The hyper-fast scrolling worked quite well, and while I usually don't use it, when I do it works quite well. The battery life hasn't been tested yet (it's supposed to be three-years) but I full well expect that it will be more than adequate even though I never turn the mouse off using the power switch on the bottom. The mouse is used at my work desk and doesn't get moved around. If I'd planned to use this as a portable mouse, I'd have purchased a smaller mouse than this. All told this is definitely a 5-star mouse. The worst thing I can say about it is that the software to fully configure it must be downloaded from the web and this didn't go smoothly for me. While Logitech's tech support was ultimately helpful, the guy I dealt with in Bangalore was as thick as a brick and only able to read from his script; he had no real clue of what he was talking about.

Felt really nice in the hand. Fits my hand like a glove. Wouldn’t be the first mouse I’d go for at first glance, but after checking options by looking at the displays and testing them out, I decided on this and it was on sale. Couldn’t beat the price when it’s for work.

For the price, you can't beat this universal mouse. It has extra buttons on the side that you can customize with their Logitech Options software. The only downside was that the pads on the bottom are molded in and are not the slick TPE material that most higher end mouses use. Didn't affect usage too much but it would have been good to have.

Bought this mouse for my laptop. It is on the smaller size making it easy to move around. You can store the wireless dongle (which is tiny) where the batteries are located but I leave it plugged into the USB port on my computer all the time. Have not had any complaints about accuracy or durability although this mouse was not used in a gaming situation. Has switch to turn off mouse when not in use to conserve batteries. Battery life has been excellent in the 6 months I have used the mouse.

This mouse is really comfortable. The battery life has been good so far.

This mouse was a great buy. Its fast, easy to use and, easy to program. I highly recommend this model.

I love this mouse BUT, after a year of heavy use I always have to replace it, because the cursor starts to become intermitting and it drives me nuts. I've tried other mice to replace it over the years, but no other mice have ever felt as great as this to use. So every year when it starts acting up I just go out and buy the same one. At least it inexpensive and it's been a current model for many years. I hope they keep making this one for years to come, so that I keep buying one every year! I would have rated it five stars instead of four if I didn't have to get a new one once a year.

Product is excellent. Support is lousy at the Manchester CT store. I inquired on whether this mouse was compatible with my Mac book Air both when I bought it and on a subsequent visit and was told that it was. No mention was made that I needed an adapter to make it work. This was important and necessary information that needs to be communicated to the buyer especially if questions are being asked. It took a call to Logitech support and a return trip to the store to figure stuff out Thanks to Steven at the Manchester store for this assistance and purchase of the adapter from his own pocket. Not necessary but totally appreciated

Can't really go wrong with a Logitech, but this thing is awesome for the price. 6 buttons (left, right, wheel click down, fwd/back buttons, and a hidden one on the side below the thumb). I am using it on a Mac and was plug and play for the basic functions (point, left and right click, and scroll). Had to install the software in order to program and use all the other buttons. I also like how the scroll wheel will allow for side to side scrolling as well. Battery life so far is amazing. Been on every day all day for a few months and isn't showing low battery yet.

Plenty of features and easy to use ergonomically. Great for spreadsheet use with multi-directional clicker.

The mouse is comfortable in. Your hands moves easily. The buttons are programmable to allow for easier. Use during repetitive tasks. Such as Internet surfing.

Great mouse for a power user like myself who doesn't need all the extra buttons on gaming mice. With proper Logitech drivers and software installed, the hidden thumb button is one of its best features; by default, it's configured to open Task View in Windows 10. Very useful and efficient for switching between multiple desktops! Flywheel for infinite scroll comes in handy quite often too. Phenomenal battery life and reliability too. Never encountered any issues with lag or dropped connection to dongle.

Plug an play with Linux and Windows. Pretty good battery life. Just enough buttons to be useful. Ding one star for quality as these are not meant for heavy duty clicking. For causal use these are excellent.
