Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse, 2.4GHz with USB Mini Receiver, 12-Month Battery Life, 1000 DPI Optical Tracking, Ambidextrous PC/Mac/Laptop - Swift Grey

Lightweight with an ergonomic shape and quality material feel that still works for very large hands. Good connection with low latency. Dongle seems to work flawlessly. Battery life might be excellent if you remember to keep the switch in the OFF position when not in use - since I don't my battery performance has not been great.

I was a little skeptical when I purchased this because of the mixed reviews, but it turned out to be perfect for why I wanted it. I had to replace my Microsoft 3500 mouse that I loved, for the second time, but apparently they stopped making it. Or at least the only ones I could find were ridiculously expensive. I like the smaller size and this nailed it. (I found the "travel" ones to be too small.) It did feel a little cheap at first, as I read in a review, but it works great. Totally worth it and I would buy it again if needed. It's easy to set up and the battery life is good.

I bought this mouse looking for something affordable but reliable, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. The wireless connection works perfectly—just plug in the small USB receiver and it starts working immediately without needing to install any software.

The Logitech M185 is the perfect on-the-go mouse. It’s compact, easy to carry, and feels very smooth during use. It tracks well and works on almost any surface without issues. Battery life has been excellent — it’s still going strong almost a year later. Simple, reliable, and does exactly what you need.

This mouse is just perfect. This mouse to ready to use. I highly recommend this. I am a petite lady, this fits my hand well. Also go on Youtube.com I viewed a very short video. Making it work was a breeze.

I have used Logitech product for years so this was natural choice for me when my wife wanted a new mouse for her laptop. She does not like a full-size mouse and this one was just right. She also loves the color which is not a dark blue as it appears in the picture. No issues connecting and it works great as you would expect from Logitech. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a smaller footprint mouse at a great price.

I ordered this mouse (in blue) to replace the recently deceased exact same model that I've used for the past 2 or 3 years. I like the simplicity of the M185 mouse and mostly the best bang for your buck! I caught this one on sale for less than a ten-spot, so I thought, "why not." I'm hoping that this one will last a bit longer than my two previous M185 models, that averaged about 3 years each. This model seems plagued by a short life span and is predisposed to mysteriously and suddenly dying, without any obvious symptoms or warning of any kind - - you're working and clicking along, going about your day, when suddenly the cursor on the computer screen freezes and that's it. Nothing, zero, nada. Funny thing, I'm very careful not to abuse or drop the mouse, and keep a fresh battery installed and watch for leakage and all that stuff - - they just stop working, and I assume it is caused by some sort of inherent electronic fault in the circuitry of the previous M185's. Due to my loyalty to the brand and model (and since it was on sale) I decided to give it one more shot. They say that "third time's a charm". I like the fact that the M185 is simple and uncluttered with extra buttons that I would never use for my purpose, which is simple web-browsing and the occasional text document production. The feel is solid, not heavy, but not cheap feeling, either. I'm used to the shape of this mouse, which to me is quite comfortable for long sessions, another reason why I kind of wanted to stay with this model. The buttons have an audible "click", which doesn't bother me at all, and the wheel moves smoothly and also has a clicking operation (which I rarely ever use). The overall surface of the mouse has a matte finish, but like my previous models I'm sure it will eventually wear shiny spots where my fingers reside and will attain a more "well-used" look in time. Connecting it was a breeze, too. I just plugged the dongle into a spare rear usb port of my desktop, and the mouse connected instantly, no problem. The dongle can be stored safely inside the battery compartment, so you can take the whole thing out of the house if needed for use elsewhere. The speed of 1000 dpi seems just right for my purposes. The one I ordered even came with its own AA Duracell battery, which I wasn't really expecting. This mouse also enters "sleep mode" when you don't use it for a while, and I can't say how many times I've got up and left it on all night. And that's not hard to do, as I'll explain next. The only real negative to this mouse is the absence of any easily visible status indicator of it's on / off switch. The rear housing of this mouse is matte black, including the tiny switch where you turn it on and off with your fingernail, with only a very faint "on" lettering (also black), and very hard to see with my aging eyes. The laser is not lighted or visible when on, also adding to the confusion, especially in a darkened room. So, as a workaround, I took a tiny drop of green paint and placed it down inside the switch slider to visibly help indicate the "on" position, and likewise a dot of bright orange for the "off" position. Many of Logitech's more expensive models (and a few other manufacturers) include this color-coded switch indication. I guess for the $$, they had to cut corners somewhere - - a minor complaint. In summary, this is a good basic mouse that works - - let's hope that this one will last longer than its two predecessors.

Mouse works great. Have purchased multiple units and all have worked flawlessly. Pairing with the dongle plugged in a simple plug and play. No setup required. Have used on multiple devices without issue. Name brand at generic pricing.
