Logitech M585 Multi-Device Wireless Mouse - Graphite

Pros: Lightweight and the battery lasts longer than others do. Also, it fits a medium size hand not for huge handed. Well, it is fits mine that is. I am presently buying another one for another device. I don't use the extra "features" but I game a bit and it is easy to get out of dodge and maneuver around "worlds". Moves lightly around the computer too. I have Windows 10. One of the better Logitech mice I have used (a lot at that).

Cons: None

Overall Review: Will buy again and recommend highly.

Pros: -Love the option to switch between multiple devices at the press of a button.

Overall Review: -Would definitely purchase again. Love the comfort and flexibility of this mouse. Even the smooth scrolling of the wheel. Big thumbs up!

Pros: Met my high expectations and more. Used with Linux Ubuntu MATE 18.04 and 20.04, stock. All mouse functions "just work", and very well. This mouse tracks on seemingly anything, even glossy surfaces like postcards or plastic bags (not glass; for that you'd need a MX). Fast scrolling, almost silent, with just the right amount of tactile feedback. Different audible "clicks" between "normal" buttons, middle (wheel down), and wheel left-right. USB receiver (Logitech Unifying, included) and Bluetooth. Both work great. The mouse indeed pairs with two computers/receivers (I haven't tried more), with one click or zero for the included USB receiver; that one just works right out the package. Reconnects instantly, all the time very much unlike that @*#$ Apple mouse I will now retire. No need to click to "wake it up" after a period of non-use like others. This one just works. Plenty of range, it seems. Works perfectly from across the room. The USB receiver comes, and can be stowed back, inside the mouse if/when not needed. Smart! Compact (as advertised), relatively light, my kids love it. Uses just one standard AA battery, included. Trivial to replace, future-proof. Works with rechargeable Ni-MH just fine, down to 0.95~0.9V very good. Mindblowingly low power consumption. I thought "2 years battery life" was marketing manure, but nope, it seems achievable, or not that far off. I measured very roughly 2 mA average during my normal/moderate use (browsing etc). That'd be 1000~2000 hours of use on a single AA. Impressive! Well done Logitech engineers.

Cons: Hard to find anything bad, honestly! Maybe: The wheel moves slightly more freely than I would like. The middle (wheel) button is relatively stiff, but at least that ensures no accidental middle-click while scrolling.

Overall Review: Back to Logitech after some less-than-stellar experience with others. Going cheap did cost me in the end, especially this past year of mostly working-from-home. Dependability is underrated. Sure, the Logitech MX are even fancier. This one seems the right combination of affordable yet uncompromisingly solid for me. I have not evaluated Logitech's software (Options, Flow) at all, nor obviously any function specific to it, such as copy-pasting between computers which I don't need, and didn't buy this mouse for anyway. See other reviews for these. On Linux, open-source software like solaar (standard Debian/Ubuntu package) shows the mouse battery status, manages devices paired with the Unifying receiver etc. Optional. This mouse happily accepts a rechargeable Ni-MH battery. Do use a low-self-discharge one though (e.g. Eneloop or Ikea Ladda) if you'd like it to actually last 1~2 years between charges.

Overall Review: When I need a mouse for a laptop I go for this one. USB? Sure. Bluetooth? Got it. More than one computer even? Oh yeah. Battery life is great and it only needs a AA anyway. Great for adults but still comfortable for kids.
