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

We recently ordered two of these. A red and blue. The instructions are on the flaps of the box it comes in. We didn't see the instructions at first and couldn't find the USB receiver. Finally, we found the instructions and the USB receiver, which is stored next to the battery. The mouse is easy to use with our laptops, responds well, is a nice size and fits comfortably in the hand. Good value for the money but for some reason the red cost more than the blue.

Have been using the mouse for almost two years, works great.

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.

Works great. Have been using this for a few years now. Recommended.

As many, many others have complained about, it is hard to tell if the battery saver switch on the bottom is on or off, as the indicator light DOES NOT work on any of them (I have two). Not only that, but there are versions of the M185 where the switch is at the top left (looking at the bottom) and it has both on and off marked where this logi version ONLY has the word ON marked, and is located at the bottom right (looking at the bottom). THE SWITCH IS ON WHEN YOU MOVE IT TO THE RIGHT (looking at the bottom). I hope this clears up the mass confusion on this model that does work well, but Logitech needs to fix this minor flaw.

Exactly what I needed, very comfortable to use, great quality with easy set up.

Comfortable design and easy to use. Good quality.

The product photo looks teal blue, bright. The actual product looks blue, dark like the depths of the ocean blue. I don't like the tire wheel feeling on the scroll. The scroll sound is loud. I haven't tried to use it to verify it's quality. I'll be returning.

Mause muito bom🥰

It's a great mouse, but not for people with large hands. If you have large hands, consider other models; this one will be quite small for you.

I had purchased a few mice of EBay, cheap ones for $5. They werent bad, but did have minor annoyances. One pasues intermittently. One broke down within months... So I saw this on sale, and purchased. I could tell the difference immesiately. Very smooth movement, and thus far, no issues. Worth thr price difference.

very nice

easy to connect to my computer, super comfy in my hand..I have small hands, so that is an issue at times. Great tracking on the pad and excellent connectivity, no dropped signals so far.
