Some Important Comments!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2020

I've written this to put right a couple of misleading commments in other reviews here although I can understand why they were written. One relates to the mouse arriving without the USB dongle. I made the same mistake - my mouse arrived, no visible dongle included in the package. I was in the process of trying to return the item when I discovered the USB dongle is literally tiny and is fitted into the back of the mouse. Take the back off and you will see a tiny section to the left of the mouse with the Logitec logo on. Pull it out and hey presto, there's your dongle (see the pics for details.) Secondly, there was also a comment about the little LED light on the back not working and the buyer therefore considering the mouse faulty. I initially thought the same - I had turned on the mouse and could see it was working fine on the screen but noticed the LED on the back wasn't lit up. However, the Logitec website clears advises the LED light on this mouse is an optical LED and is invisible to the human eye. With these things cleared up I would say this is a perfectly good mouse for the money; it seems to be functioning well so far but if that changes I will amend this review to reflect that.

Nice but did not work straight away!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2018

So I purchased this to allow me to work whilst on business travel. Unfortunately unpacking and pulling out tag for the battery the item did not work. I checked it all, replaced the battery but to no avail. Big disappointment!!

Anyway, as the item was relatively cheap I managed to survive with a wired mouse for the duration of my trip. SO why did I not contact Amazon?? Well, I have been ordering quite a few things lately with Amazon and there have been niggling issues with most of them and Amazon have been great in resolution in each and every case and for the sake of £7.99 I decided to take this one on the chin.

UPDATE so today, just over two weeks since I order the item, I was looking at the mouse and checked online if others have had similar issues. There were some great YOUTUBE videos and I quickly dismantled mine, had a little fiddle around and noticed one of the cable clips had come of its mounting. After pushing this to secure it I put the mouse back together and it now works!!!!! For £7.99 I'm not going to complain and happy I managed to get it to work

MISSING PART

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 January 2020

Style Name: M185 MouseColour Name: Swift GreyVerified Purchase

I ordered this for my laptop, but the USB connector part was missing. My preference was to make a request for the missing part, but I was directed to Logitech website and it proved to be so complicated to make this simple request, that I decided that I would return the item instead and start again. Hopefully the next one will have no parts missing - fingers crossed. The mouse itself seemed to be OK, but couldn't use it without the USB part, so I'm unable to rate it (had to give one star as it wouldn't allow zero).

Amazing performance and quality for the price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2018

Style Name: M185 MouseColour Name: RedVerified Purchase

Can't go wrong with Logitech products in my experience, and this wireless mouse is no different. I've had a few of these over the last 5 years, each previous one being replaced as a result of my own clumsiness! There's a reason I keep coming back to these!

In the time i've owned Logitech wireless mice, i've never had to replace the battery, and that's with heavy, everyday use (sometimes 12 hours a day) and never switching it off.

One of these was kept in my laptop bag and taken everywhere with me for around 18 months. It was dropped, bumped, knocked, and still it performed as it did when new.

I've always found these to be "plug and play" devices, installing themselves within seconds of plugging in the USB receiver dongle, without any required input from me.

The only issue I had with one was when it was dropped onto a hard floor from a high desk. The impact was enough to break one of the plastic retainers for the scroll wheel. A few minutes taking the mouse apart and hot gluing the broken piece back into place, and all was well!

I knocked one star off the durability rating for this product due to a small issue with the battery cover i've had with the last two mice. The cover doesn't seem to "click" into place. It slides into position as normal, but it doesn't clip closed as it should. I think this is due to the plastic "transit strip" of plastic which isolates the battery when packed, and then needs to be removed prior to product use. It's quite thick, and therefore possibly distorts the plastic of the battery cover over time.

With all this in mind, I would still order another one without hesitation as and when my current mouse meets it ultimate demise at the hands of my cumbersome activities. Absolutely love it!

Do not buy this item. No idea why it is Amazon's Choice. Avoid.

I normally buy the Patuoxun mouse for our office but they were out of stock. I should have waited.
Instead I bought two of these budget logitechs. First one did not connect to any off our office desktops. Never experienced that before.
The second one worked but frankly this is not a good quality product.
Basic design, no grips, not a single frill. Looks plain and cheap.
Unnecessary on/off switch undernearth. Not sure what that is all about.
I don't expect the one that works to last very long.
Fortunately for me, I am not the one who has got to use it this rubbish mouse.

Far superior alternatives for same sort of price. The Patuoxun is a far better choice.

Good mouse for BIG hands

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 July 2020

Style Name: M185 MouseColour Name: Swift GreyVerified Purchase

I've spent weeks looking for the mouse I use with the laptop. The dongle is still plugged in, but where's the mouse? Anyway I decided to bite the bullet and get a budget mouse as I'm being driven to distraction with the thumby-pad-thing. I was a little sceptical about this new mouse as it looks small, and is about 40 quid cheaper than my previous Logitech.

This mouse looks small, but in reality I reckon it is only slightly smaller. But it is VERY comfortable to use - even for someone who struggles to get their hands in a size EU 12 glove. The mouse is light, responsive, and most importantly accurate and smooth to use on screen. It works well on the office desk and smooth to move.

I really like the on-off switch - something that seems to annoy some people, but when travelling it ensures the battery doesn't drain in the ruck. With older mice storing the dongle in the back of the mouse would switch the mouse off. But with this dongle being so small it can stay connected. The dongle can be removed from the laptop and stored securely in the battery compartment if needed. I like the fact this mouse uses a single AA sized battery - as AA batteries last so much better than AAA, and they are usually more readily available. A battery is provided in the retail package.

The dongle receiver is one of the "micro" sized - which means I won't need to remove the dongle when travelling! The old dongle was so large and I always felt it risked being snapped off - or worse - breaking the USB port.

Lightweight. Responsive. Accurate. Ergonomic. Quality feel. Micro dongle. Very competitively priced. Highly recommended

3 weeks of normal use, and now has ADHD

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2018

Style Name: M185 MouseColour Name: Swift GreyVerified Purchase

This worked like a mouse for about 3 weeks, now the cursor flies all over my screen, jumping from one side to the other. I have changed the battery 3 times, no change. This is not a setting, not a speed of travel adjustment, this is hyperspace disappear from one location and just appear in another, it makes the mouse unusable, it means you have to buy another mouse, and this time not Logitech!

Manufacturer cutting costs

Style Name: M185 MouseColour Name: BlueVerified Purchase

I have an older version of this very same mouse (but grey plastic not blue!). The newer one has much sharper moulding lines and scratches your hand. The newer mouse sounds tinnier, the movement isn't as smooth and the button click sounds cheap and tacky.

I have always bought Logitech Mice because they have been worth paying extra for, but now I'm not so sure.

Still, there are worse mice out there. Maybe I'll have to buy my next mouse from a real shop and try it before buying it.

Good piece of equipment when working with a laptop

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 March 2020

Style Name: M185 MouseColour Name: Swift GreyVerified Purchase

I recently purchased this to help out when working from home on my laptop, as I work on spreadsheet a lot and the track pad is really difficult to navigate and populate them quickly.
It's very light, very ergonomic and easy to use. The track pad wheel is good and rolls easily without catching, and the clicky noise when you click isn't too loud.
The USB stick to plug in is very small and is stored in the battery compartment meaning that when you don't use it or want to transport it, you can't lose it.
There's an on/off button at the bottom to prevent the battery from running out when not in use.
The battery was also included so it was ready to use straight away.

It’s okay..

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2022

Style Name: M185 MouseColour Name: Swift GreyVerified Purchase

I ended up buying this mouse a few years ago after my old one unfortunately took a bath. If you need a mouse for everyday use it works just fine so I'd give it a 4 stars for that. Factoring in a touchy on/off switch that would sometimes stick in the off position, a very cheep feel as one, and some minor glitches. Nothing that I wouldn't expect for a cheep mouse. However I do a lot with photo editing and I'd find that it would cause my curser to wiggle a little bit when doing careful editing no matter what surface it was on. I couldn't draw even a semi straight line with it if I wanted to but my old mouse which was twice the price of this could. More recently it is starting to just drop connection for half seconds while using it 1 meter from the receiver too which has been rough. So for more delicate applications like editing and drafting I would recommend getting a better mouse unless you are willing to live with its quirks for the time being. In which I give it 3 stars Overall, it has done well for the price for a few years, but the mouse wheel has finally stopped working and so I am finally ready to actually get a better mouse again.
