Logitech M705 910-001935 Black 7 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB RF Wireless Optical 1000 dpi Marathon Mouse

Pros: Nice sturdy mouse. It's a good gaming mouse. Nice smooth scroll wheel and two thumb buttons. Essential for PC gaming in my opinion. It tracks very well. I have no trouble with accuracy. It feels good in my hand and it's not too heavy. Seems to get a good lag free connection to the receiver which is about 5 feet away. Also, the receiver is supposed to be universal with any newer Logitech wireless hardware. Don't know, I haven't tested that.

Cons: Wish it had adjustable DPI. The sensitivity is a bit too high for normal use in my opinion. You can easily adjust that in Windows settings though, I'm too lazy. I also wish it was rechargable. I have an older Logitech that was rechargable. At least 5 years old and it still works today. Same basic design.

Overall Review: It's a good mouse. Logitech makes the best mice, period. If you're into PC gaming, or even if you're using a Xim3 on one of the consoles. This mouse will work perfectly. Alghough, if you're using a Xim3, you should get a G9x. That's what I use with my Xim3 and it's works extremely well. Better than this one.

Pros: You know the pro's if you are even looking at this! I'm going on my second year with the original batteries and both my wireless keyboard (K350) and this mouse show good battery life. The battery life is one of the main reasons I got this, but the multi-surface is the second reason. I use my lap for the keyboard and my bed for my mouse. I needed something that would just work to make using my HTPC a reality. I love how you only need one of the micro-receivers for both devices to work!

Cons: This thing can upset just about anyone if you don't take care of a few things first. First - The Jumping and Skipping made this mouse seem like junk! I got a sketch book to use as a pad. Black surface, useless. Opened up to a white page? Useless. My cotton bedspread. NOPE! Now on my polyester sleeping bag, I have a winner! I have no problems using this mouse just as long as I have my sleeping bag under it! That's just a bit weird if you ask me. Thank goodness I love using my sleeping bag as a blanket so it's not any trouble just to pull it over to use. Second - This goofy mouse button on the side where my thumb likes to sit! I had to shut it off. To many accidental clicks. Third - The scroll wheel. A little flick would cause this thing to continuous scroll. I'm sure to some that would be a nice useful feature. 9x out of 10 it would cause chaos on me. Like checking my e-mail and trying to scroll through the messages. If you leave that window it starts to scroll another window *if you head toward the delete button for example* next thing you know your looking at accounts and your delete button has disappeared on you! VERY annoying! And last but not least is the way you fix this auto scrolling madness! (You won't find it in the control panel or software) This goofy button right below it is what locks the wheel to keep it from taking a field trip on you! I just thought it was another button! I've dealt with the madness for over a year before getting it figured out! Sometimes the solution is the most simplest of things!

Overall Review: Once you get it figured out, it's a nice little mouse. I docked an egg because of the lack of performance on surfaces that should have worked just fine for it. I'm glad that I have managed to work out my issues with it and it has turned out to be a really nice mouse for me!

Pros: Comfortable, easily programmable, you can turn it off if you want, looks nice, feels solid and well built.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I use this on my desktop with the Unifying Receiver plugged in on a front facing USB port I don't use. Started working seconds after I plugged it in and auto downloaded everything I needed (Win7). I've read some reviews that stated the scroll wheel just freely spun and they didn't like it because there was no feedback. I sure hope they entered their tech knowledge as "low" when filling out there review (is there a "none" button?). All you have to do is press the toggle button on top and it switches to the standard style ratcheting feel as you scroll. Common people, really?

Pros: Long battery life. Using the batteries that came with the mouse it has worked well over long ranges for around 3 years now. Just this morning the left click button stopped working, so I booted up windows to see what it said my battery life was like. To my surprise it said it was low, but had about 216 days left. All of the other buttons on the mouse worked including the left, middle, scroll, forward, back, and thumb. The mouse itself worked perfectly fine. I'm not sure if this indicates something is wrong with my left mouse button or not. I should mention that I use the mouse for around 9 hours per day and shut it off when I leave work. I've been very happy with the range. I routinely use the mouse 15+ feet away from the receiver and never experience issues because of that. I also appreciate the frictionless scrolling which can be switched to normal mode when you need finer controls. I wasn't expecting the thumb button, but I have really enjoyed the expose like shortcut for windows and I use the button in a similar way in Linux. This mouse works very well under linux. I rarely use windows so having a mouse that can just plug and play with whatever OS is really handy.

Cons: Logitech does not provide any software support for Linux. This includes the unifying software. This generally means that you cannot change which mouse works with which unifying receiver. However, if a compiler doesn't scare you there are some tools out there that will help you get your Unifying receiver paired with the mouse including the following: http://th0th.me/log/pairing-logitech-unifying-devices-on-gnulinux/ My left click should not have stopped working when the software says I have 216 days left of battery life. When it estimates battery life a test should find out at least whether or not all of its functions are working properly.

Overall Review: Overall, this is the best mouse I have ever purchased. I used to love the Microsoft intellimouse explorer 2.0, but now I have purchased two of these and it is what I recommend for anyone that can appreciate the ridiculously long battery life and frictionless scrolling.

Pros: Micro transmitter system is nice, just leave it in and forget about it. I use this mouse, the K340 keyboard and an HDMI cable to remote my laptop to my 50" plasma. Everything works perfectly. Mouse is good size and several features, best of them is that with two lithium AA batteries I don't expect to have to change the batteries, like, ever...

Cons: nothing, works great

Pros: In doing some research, I discovered that this was chosen as the most popular mouse by a group of testers when compared to about 20 mice. It fits nicely in the hand, comes with 2 Duracell Batteries that are suppose to be able to power this mouse for up to 3 years in normal use. The mouse comes with a dongle that is a "Universal" device which will allow you to connect up to 6 Logitech Devices to it concurrently. I downloaded and installed the "Sollar" Software Drivers for Linux to allow me to connect and configure some of the functions of the mouse within Linux. It shows Battery Levels and multiple devices as well as allowing you to add and delete devices from the Universal USB Dongle. Overall, I'm very pleased with the mouse. It is very quiet and the Mouse Wheel can be setup to "Click, Click, Click" or you can push the button on the top of the Mouse to disengage the "Clicker" and allow the wheel to spin free. It has some Metal Mass to it, so if you give it a spin, it will keep spinning for a few seconds scrolling the page up or down. It fits very nicely in my hand and the buttons are very responsive.

Cons: The only con is that I had to locate my own solution for using it with Linux that would allow me to use some of the features of the device and connect multiple devices to the single Universal USB Dongle. I also purchased the Logitech K800 wireless backlit keyboard, and it works just fine in this combo setup as well.

Overall Review: I purchased the Refurbished K800 Logitech wireless backlit keyboard to use with this mouse and to my surprise, it has replaceable 2 x AA Li-Ion batteries powering it. Logitech estimates that it will work for up to 10 days between charges. Time will tell. I had no problem getting Linux Solaar Software to see and add the device to Linux when following the onscreen instructions from Solaar. Hopefully this will help those Linux users considering these devices for use.

Pros: 42 weeks on 2 AAs IF never turned off Ergonomic Just as good as the $100, $200 ones employed NO charger USB transmitter Architect friendly

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: Waste of time shopping for something better

Pros: Comfortable Batteries last forever wireless great accuracy love the variable scroll wheel extra button always help

Cons: None

Overall Review: Got this as a present, so far its the best mouse I have ever had, its batteries last forever, the wheight is nice, the sensor is very accurate, sturdy (due to me dropping it every now and then). I highly recommend this mouse.
