Logitech M310 Wireless Mouse (Silver)

Like many others, I've struggled with wireless mice for years... bad tracking, signal drop, uncomfortable to use, short battery life. I'm DONE with all that, lol. For the past three years I have used (and gotten for others) the M510 and the M310 mice, and they always ALWAYS work. I use the bigger M510 for my desktops at home and work, and the M310 for my laptop. Here's the thing about the M310: it's that perfect intermediate-sized mouse that's still very usable even with bigger hefty hands like mine. Some mobile mice are just too small, but not this one. For people with small hands (my wife who's 5'3" and barely over 100lbs) this is the perfect everything mouse, mobile or desktop. I understand we need stuff smaller for traveling but some of those mobile mice are like miniatures and that's just counterproductive. Also, the tracking is by far the best I've used (and I've argued with a lot of different Microsoft wireless mice in my day). I honestly think the Logitech mice could track on a slice of pizza, lol. Connection is the best, truly plug-n-play, at least on Win 7 & 8.1, not sure how Mac folks get this running. Just make sure you use the USB port that's closest to your mouse, whether that be back of PC or top of case, etc.For the price and with Amazon's amazing return policy, give this mouse a whirl, you won't be disappointed. For me it's M510 for desktop and M310 for mobile, hands down. But I do use the M310 on some desktops, such as the recording PC at church in the sound booth where space it tight, and it's great. If I was asked to vote for one mouse on earth that would satisfy mostly everyone, the M310 would be it.

This mouse is excellent. In the past, I've never been much of a fan of Logitech products, but this mouse has changed my perspective - I'll be more open to their brand as I shop for other gear. I am a software engineer, and I am at easily working at my computer for 8-10 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week.The mouse tracks well, and is quite precise. It doesn't have that annoying, and to me, distracting, red glow. The nano-receiver is tiny - and works very well. It is much more reliable than any of the blue-tooth wireless mice I've had. It does occupy a USB port, but its well worth it.Best of all, the power usage is incredible. I have been using this mouse non-stop for almost 5 months now, and it's still running on the AA battery that came with it. When it's idle for some period of time, it goes to "sleep", conserving battery power. It automatically comes out of sleep mode when it is moved in the slightest. I've had other wireless mice that do this, but unlike almost every previous one I've had, this one recovers from sleep mode quickly and easily - almost imperceptibly. Other wireless mice I had - especially blue-tooth mice - have an annoying lag-time coming out of sleep mode - perhaps 1/2 second or so between the time you move the mouse and when the pointer moves on the screen. That doesn't sound like a long time but when it happens over and over, all day long, it is very annoying.I've had a multitude of mice over the 20 years I've earned my living at a computer, many of them wireless. This mouse is as good a mouse as any I've had, and absolutely the best wireless mouse I've had. And at this price, it's a great value.

After decades of using and loving Microsoft wired mice, I decided to check out wireless mice, to avoid dragging the mouse cable around. I'm a software developer, and my desk where my mouse sits is worn shiny smooth. To understand my comments in context, when I'm programming, the keyboard and mouse become virtual extensions of my body, and I'm highly sensitive to even slight imperfections, like the drag of a mouse cord or the force needed to 'click'.First, I bought two Microsoft wireless mice, and they didn't work correctly. I bought two different model Microsoft wireless mice, and they didn't work at all. I won't be buying any more Microsoft wireless mice.Next, I bought two Logitech Wireless Mouse M310 (Silver) mice, and they worked perfectly, right out of the box. Just put the supplied battery in the mouse, plug the little 'Nano Transceiver' into a USB port, and you're up. Finally, a wireless mouse that simply does what it's supposed to do! There is an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse to conserve the battery, and a slot to hold the tiny USB Nano Transceiver for travel. I believe the mouse partially 'powers down' automatically when not moved for a while, to conserve battery.I've only been using them for a few days, and can't yet speak to battery life or longevity. But the only minor 'con' so far is that the surface of the mouse where your two 'clicking' fingers fit is slightly sloped to the side. Because I'm used to the old-style classic Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical, which is not sloped that way, I'm having to adjust. I also had to adjust the tracking speed in Windows Control Panel, but that was expected.These mice are a bit shorter than my old mice, but that's no problem. The 'clicking' pressure feels just right, and the sides of the mice are firm rubber, which gives a nice feel and good grip. The scroll wheel has detents, which I'm used to. The force it takes to slide the mouse feels about right, and I like not having to drag a mouse cord. I can place the mice within 2 inches of each other with no interference, and both work fine across the office (about 20 feet) and through a wall, from the PCs.I plan to buy more of these mice, and I recommend them to anyone looking for a simple wireless mouse that just does what it's supposed to do.
