Logitech M705 Marathon Wireless Mouse, 2.4 GHz with USB Unifying Mini-Receiver, 1000 DPI Laser Grade Tracking, 7-Buttons, Extra Thumb Buttons, 3-Year Battery Life, PC / Mac / Laptop - Black

I bought this mouse to use with my laptop (which I primarily use at home and don't tend to take out and about with me). It's the first battery-powered mouse I've ever purchased, having only had rechargeable mice in the past, but I found that I wasn't getting much more than 5-6 days on a charge. After reading the reviews (and Q&As on Amazon), I decided to take a chance on the fact that this mouse has a three-year battery (it came with 2xAA Duracell batteries). Although I've only had this mouse for a week, I'll update this review when the batteries need replacing so others can judge how realistic this claim is, but I'm optimistic. It appears that a few other reviewers don't like the scroll options, yet I specifically bought this as it has the option of toggling between "click scroll" and "frictionless scroll"; perfect for navigating through longer PDFs, websites or spreadsheets with a small movement of my hand. I also love that I can use the scroll button to navigate left or right through a spreadsheet (or move the cursor back/forward a few characters as I'm typing), as it not only clicks and scrolls vertically; it can be nudged left or right, as well. This is a feature I didn't realise it had when I purchased it, and it's been a massive help, seeing as I spend so much time working on spreadsheets. The back and forward buttons on the left side (just above the thumb rest) are another reason I chose this particular mouse, as it assists greatly when I'm navigating through websites at speed. The buttons are ideally located, and do not get in the way (i.e. they're placed in such a way that it's hard to click them accidentally, unlike other mice I've had in the past). I plugged in the receiver and it worked straight out of the box without any need to tweak settings. I'm rather particular about my mouse set-up, so I did make a few small adjustments, but they're certainly not necessary for the average user. Overall, this is a great mouse, and I'm delighted with my purchase. It was just under £33 and it was, I feel, money well spent.

I spend most of my day sitting in front of a computer for work, and the comfort of a mouse has never really meant much to me. after using the M705, I find it impossible to use other peoples computers, as the shape and style of their mouse just does not seem to fit into my hand. This mouse appears to be perfectly designed to fit the shape of your hand, and works with great ease....as long as you are right handed. The 'SetPoint Settings' software was a great surprise also. the 8 different buttons on the mouse can all be programmed to do whatever you wish. This can also be changed to have different operations, depending on which programme you are running at the time! Where two buttons may be forward and backward on the web browser, can then become, copy and paste on a word document. this in itself has increased my productivity at at work, as it has saved me using pesky keyboard shortcuts on various other programs. The 8 functional buttons are not overly sized, or too busy and clumsy either. The scroll wheel has its standard click down button, along with a left and right click. all three are useful, and I personally have them set for different things depending on the program in use. However, i do feel that sometimes, the left and right click of the wheel can sometimes be pressed accidental, while trying to use the centre click down button. this in itself is no great issue, but does sometimes mean I end up Zooming on pages when simply trying to select something. All in all....great piece of kit! The three buttons on the thumb side are quite smoothly in place. the fairly standard 'page forward and page backward' buttons are there. with ease of use, there is no complaints with these. the third button is below your thumb. To start with i didnt even notice it was there. it is designed into the shape of the mouse, and is easily miss-able. had it not been for the the small grey mark near the bottom. this is no way a complaint, as it just just shows how well another function can be hidden into the mouse. All in all....great piece of kit!!

Llevo un año usando este ratón inalámbrico y sigue funcionando igual que el primer día. La batería nunca la he tenido que cambiar, lo cual me parece impresionante. Tiene un nivel de calidad excelente para trabajar: es súper cómodo, ergonómico y la ruedita es una auténtica pasada. No lo uso para jugar, así que no puedo opinar en ese aspecto, pero para trabajar es de lo mejor que he probado. Muy buena compra, totalmente recomendable.

Good and cheap!

5 stelle meritate.Per me che faccio un uso massivo del mouse per lavoro,occorrono mouse ben costruiti ed ergonomici.Devono essere maneggiati da mani grandi e devono pesare il giusto,quelli leggerini non li tollero molto.Questo Marathon Logitech e' davvero un ottimo mouse.La possibilita' di scrolling orizzontale,il doppio pulsante laterale programmabile,come detto il buon peso e la grandezza che si adatta alla mia mano,lo han reso gia dopo 3 giorni il compagno ideale delle mie giornate lavorative.Connessione wireless che non si perde,fastidiosa lucetta rossa nella parte inferiore,assente e pile che a detta della documentazione dovrebbero garantire un lungo uso del topo prima della loro sostituzione,sono un mix di cose positive che mi fan consigliare questo mouse senza dubbi.

Works well

Dopłaciłem więcej za wersję czarną (zgodnie z opisem produktu), a otrzymałem wersję szarą (która jest również dostępna za niższą kwotę). Jakość wykonania jak w tanich marketowych myszkach.
