M510 Wireless Mouse, Black

I've tried to save a little money in the past by purchasing cheaper mouses that had good reviews but they die or become too frustrating to use after a few months due to shoddy craftsmanship and poor engineering. This mouse is a huge breath of fresh air. Some reviews have mentioned concerns about the weight of this mouse. Personally, I think it's great. You can use one battery or two so there is some control over weight which is nice. I love the feel of this thing. It's not so light that it feels like you can crumple it in your hand. It feels solid and is really a quality piece of equipment. Normally I cringe at power saving features since they can shut the mouse down after a period of time and require you to click it to activate it again sending you to pages/files on your computer that the cursor happened to be sitting on that you don't want to go to etc. In short, they're usually more of a hassle than their worth. Not the case with this mouse. It does shut itself down after some time but all you do is move it and it's going again. It doesn't have a noticeable delay, it just works exactly the way you want it to. That and it has a ridiculously long battery expectancy of 2 years. This was something that concerned me because I wondered if it would decrease the sensitivity and accuracy but it's all fantastic. No reason to be concerned at all. Finally, the back and forward buttons are crisp and work great. The mouse contours very well to my hand and feels comfortable. The up and down scrolling is smooth and accurate and the side to side scroll feature is just as good. A simple software download from their site allows you to customize functions to your liking. I registered the mouse and got an extra 6 months of warranty totaling 2 1/2 years. If you decide you don't like it, they have a 100% money back 30 day trial. Two good indications you're dealing with a good company and a quality product. It's really nice to be able to say there's nothing I don't like and I highly recommend this product to everyone.

I am old school and only use a desktop computer - no laptop. I had a wireless mouse - brand GIGATECH -that was over 6 years old and worked flawlessly till it recently died. I have large hands and it was the perfect fit. The first replacement I bought was a Microsoft and it was terrible. It was tiny and thus cumbersome for my large hands and the cursor would continuously jump around. So I did my research and purchased this Logitech M510. I love it. I am left handed but use my right hand for use with the mouse. This one fits my hand perfectly and I find it very solidly built. The left/right click and cursor wheel all work flawlessly while I also find the buttons on the side perfectly placed. Many have said the mouse felt heavy and I found this to be true as well. But then as I read the directions it said to make the mouse lighter you could remove one of the batteries and use the mouse with only one. I did this and the heaviness was gone. I find this to be a very high end mouse for the price. I have not had to download the software to work on the settings. It works seamlessly for me as is. The cursor moves fast with precision and accuracy. The left click button is also precise. I find I use the cursor wheel more than I did with my old mouse for it is also very seamless and moves the page up and down at the perfect pace. I love that the usb is so tiny. I plugged it into a port on the front of my desktop for all mice with these small usbs say often if placed in back of a desktop the mouse is then too far away to work as it should. For me this mouse works perfectly and it has certainly been a great replacement for my tried and true older mouse. Highly recommend.

If I could give this mouse 4-1/2 stars I would. But only because of the few snags I ran into when I first installed it. I already had a Logitech wireless keyboard with a unifying receiver, so I didn't plug in the one that came with the mouse. For a couple of minutes nothing happened on my desktop and the mouse was not working. Logitech really shouldn't tell you it's plug and go when it's not! I went to the kitchen for something and when I came back there was a window up with instructions for getting the mouse to work with the keyboard unifying receiver. I followed them and at the end of the process a window popped up telling me that the procedure had not worked for my keyboard [they gave me the correct model # for the keyboard] and my mouse [for which they gave me the WRONG model number]. I closed out the window and tested the mouse and it was working just fine except that it wouldn't scroll. No matter how often I turned the wheel forward or backward there was no scrolling going on at all. I then went into SetPoint settings and found that for middle button the task selected was --are you ready? Middle Button. That made little sense so I changed the task to Universal Scroll and now the scroll wheel is working fine. Oh, and somewhere along the line SetPoint has figured out that I have a model M510 mouse and corrected that error on the top of the SetPoint Settings window. How in the world that happened I have no idea and I'm not sure I want to know. LOL Since everything seems to be working fine, I'm quite happy with this mouse. I have not downloaded the software for the side to side scrolling yet so I can't speak to that. As I've never had the opportunity to use side to side scrolling I don't know what I'm missing and at this point I don't much care, so I probably won't be downloading the software any time soon. Update 3/28/16: I bought this mouse on amazon.com 12/18/14 for $27.22. Once I figured out how to get it working, it worked fine until a week ago. I'd attempt to move my cursor from one point to another and it wouldn't move. I had to move the mouse around in quick circles to get it to work again. It worked fine for a few minutes then it hung up again. Thinking it was the batteries, I tested them and they were almost completely full. I put the batteries back in and continued to use the mouse for a few days. But the glitching happened so often, it was driving me crazy, so I uninstalled the Logitech M510 and put in a wired Dell mouse that came with my computer. I'm very disappointed in this development as I've loved this mouse. It's ergonomic features work wonderfully well to not aggravate my carpal tunnel syndrome. Sadly, this mouse has now been retired. I'll keep it in the drawer where I keep old computer hardware that may or may not work after 6 months or so of lying idle. Don't smirk! We all have a collection of old computer hardware that we can't bear to throw out for one reason or another. Given how much I loved this mouse coupled with it's relatively short lifespan, I have to now give it two starts.

I have purchased several of these mice over the last 5 years and continue to do so. It is a good mouse with long battery life and an off switch, but looses points because they fail after 9 months of daily use. Size: 4 Stars The mouse is a bit longer than most, but smaller than many of the 'ergonomic' mice. It fits my larger hands comfortably which many smaller mice don't. My wife has smaller hands and finds it comfortable to use. I have several young children and they have no problems with it either. the mouse is pleasantly symmetrical, and while nice to look at and fit in smaller pockets, my hand is not symmetrical. I have a thumb on one side and a pinky on the other. I would say like most people, but I haven't met most people. this leaves your ring finger kind of hanging and your pinky to rest on whatever surface you are using the mouse on. If you were to pull your pinky into the thumb groove, it would cramp. You may think this symmetry makes it good for lefties, and while my wrong handed sister says it is the most comfortable right handed mouse she has ever used, the extra forward and back thumb buttons are on the other side, making them awkward to operate for a leftie who has to use her ring finger. Something she assures me she could get used to, but in order to she'd have to get her own dang mouse and stop stealing mine. Connection and Laser: 5 Stars The mouse connects to a nano receiver that connects to any USB port. It is NOT Bluetooth (this is good, it doesn't have paring issues like Bluetooth). The connection is good and the movement smooth. Other wireless mice suffer from an issue where they go into standby after a few seconds and don't catch the initial movement when you start using the mouse again. Not this one. This mouse will track on any surface I have used it on and moves smoothly. I have used as many as 5 of them in the same room at the same time with no ill effects or 'cross talk'. I have read that there is a way to connect a mouse to a different nano receiver, but I have not tried or messed with this and have also heard that posting a legal notice on your Facebook wall will protect your copyright and privacy rights, so who knows just don't lose the tiny receiver, there is a storage space for it in the battery compartment. Also, don't store it in the battery compartment and forget you put it there and tear your house apart looking for it. Finally, the optic is invisible so no red light or blinding death laser shoots out the bottom. Durability: 3 Stars I am not easy on my mice. Neither are my children. I have a work laptop and a personal laptop. Both have their own mouse (different colors thank you Logitech). My work one gets used 50 hours a week or so but only on a desk and rarely gets dropped. My work mouse tends to last 9 months before buttons start double clicking. My personal mouse gets used less, but still several hours a week and it is used on every surface in the house, couch, bed, dog, desk, wood grain table, pant leg, child's diapered bottom, carpet, wall, glass stove top (while stove top is off), tile wall, leg without pants, wife's back, bottom of shoe (ineffective, yes), and on rare occasion, a mouse pad. My personal mouse is dropped, thrown, used as a shield defending from a wife slap, drooled on, and occasionally kicked. When not in use it sits in a bag that gets thrown around with regularity. This one usually lasts 7-8 months before buttons stop clicking (or double clicking) or the laser stops reading as many surfaces. My media center has a mouse that is used very sparingly, a few minutes each day starting or ending a show. When a previous mouse did 7 months with me and the laser started getting picky with surfaces, we moved it to the low use media center mouse. This mouse has lasted in this position for more than a year without getting any worse. So I firmly believe that this is an over use/abuse issue. It is worth noting that I have owned and used other mice from Microsoft and HP and Dell, and none of them lasted so long. Battery Life: 5 Stars The mouse takes 2 AA batteries (and puts them facing the same direction ick) and they last a while. the cavity is large enough to accommodate slightly larger rechargeable batteries of you use them. My 2 mice are turned off when not in use but experience heavy use and the included Duracell batteries last generally longer than the mice. My wife's mouse sits on all the time and gets moderate to heavy use and her batteries last more than 6 months. There is a nice little strip of plastic built in that when you pull on it, the batteries pop up, this is a nice extra feature for changing batteries so you don't have to jam a butter knife in there to get them out, then slip and rake your finger with the jagged edge and pathetically explain to your wife how you managed to cut yourself with a butter knife and watch as she hides the scissors. Weird light on top: 3 Stars There is a weird light on top. It turns on when you turn the mouse on, reassuring you that the mouse is, in fact, on. This saves you from the gut wrenching anxiety of wondering if the batteries are dead every time you turn it on, only the batteries last forever... The light turns off after a couple of seconds to not waste battery power. It's nice, but not necessary. Also, I think I remember it flashing angry red at me after it got thrown across the room one time, so this may be the mouse's primary method of communication and who am I to silence it. Noise: 5 Stars The mouse is whisper quiet. I am usually unable to tell if it is on or not by sound alone. There is a light and satisfying click sound when clicking either button or turning the switch on and off. Usually whatever I am using for a surface for the mouse makes far more noise than the mouse itself. Off Switch: 5 Stars It works. there is a small ridge in the middle offering enough friction to easily turn the switch on or off and there is a colored pad under the switch so you can see a bit of red when off and green when on. This is useful because the words for on and off are etched on and can only be seen if you catch the light just right.

myself and a bunch of friends bought the logitech M510 and M505 mice on the recommendation of a friend. we are all very happy with both. the M510 is a little bigger (the M505 is perfect for a laptop and for people without huge hands). the M510 adds a few more features that are nice but probably not needed by everyone. it adds three programmable buttons. one is a scroll wheel push. the other two are on the side out of the way. otherwise the two mice work the same. they both have a horizontal scrolling feature that is enabled by downloaded free software. you tilt the scroll wheel for that. they both are a pleasure to use. very low friction on most surfaces and they seem to work just about anywhere that's not a mirror finish. they both have lasers instead of LED lighting. the laser is invisible and allows much higher resolution and works on many more surfaces than LED. i find the horizontal scroll feature very handy. especially if you choose to make the other two side buttons (on the M510) "magnify and de-magnify" . that is a God send to people like me that don't have perfect vision. you can blow up the page so you can read it then go back and forth using the horizontal scroll feature. the center button (push the scroll wheel M510) i have elected to be a "back" button .. that's really handy. on the internet you can easily go back to the previous page as is often needed. i think the M510 is the perfect mouse for main computers but works nicely for laptops as well. it works smoothly, great range, no wires and comfortable to use. the batteries last so long you will forget about them. the included USB receiver is vary small and out of the way. a couple of complaints: first its really hard to compare all the logitech products to see what one suits your need the best. it takes a long time just to see what each does. second the M505 comes in some beautiful colors. the M510 looks really nice but only comes in black (i think). other than that these are very high quality devices i can highly recommend. unlike the many other wireless mice i have been using these do everything right. nice ... very nice

I have had this mouse for years...not sure how long, at least 4-5 years, best I can remember. I was recently thinking how much I love this thing, and figured I should write a short recommendation. So, first of all, I have used this mouse for gaming, and it's great, but it does have only two side buttons to go with the wheel and normal left/ right mouse buttons. So if you want a mouse with umpteen programmable options, look at another mouse. But it is super accurate (far more accurate than any non wireless mouses I have used), and I have had not a single problem with it. It is the size of a normal business type mouse (minor edit, I'd say it is *slightly* larger than some business sized mouses...but it is a plus to me, since it is far more comfortable for me to use than most mouses...in any case, people with very small hands may find it a little large), which is a plus to me. I don't believe I have yet replaced the batteries even. I used this on my desktop for years with absolutely no issues, and I just started using it on my new laptop with absolutely no issues. I wish every piece of computer tech I have used over the last 30 odd years was as satisfactory and reliable as this mouse. Prior to this, I used a Logitech more gaming oriented mouse at home (sorry I don't have the model number at hand), and I loved that mouse, and it was slightly more programmable, but honestly not much more capable than this one...and it was not wireless. If this one bit the dust I would instantly buy another. The most most accurate and reliable mouse I have ever used. And cheap, too. Strongest recommendation.

I've used Logitech products for many, many years on multiple Windows computers with various applications including graphic design, video production, spreadsheets and word processing. As expected, this new Logitech M510 mouse is very responsive and precise. It is a full size mouse that fits my female hand wonderfully. I really like the rubber grips on the sides as they make the mouse easy to hold onto and move comfortably, especially when working on my computer for long periods of time. I bought this one to replace my older Logitech mouse that I'm sure I've had and used extensively for 10+ years. That mouse was still accurate and precise, but the left button began having sporadic problems responding as a double-click when I single-clicked and vice versa. Installation of this new M510 mouse was a breeze. I simply unplugged the old mouse receiver dongle and inserted the new tiny USB receiver (while my pc was still running). My pc recognized the change, updated itself, I hit the power button on the bottom of the mouse, the mouse instantly responded and I was able to return to working on my pc with no problem at all. I also love having the mini USB receiver rather than the old dongle or large receiver. It's a must-have for laptops as well as for eliminating another wire draping off the back of my desktop. I would highly recommend (and have) Logitech devices for use on any Windows-based computer.

Over the past few weeks, I've used the following Logitech mice: M705, M310, and this one, the M510. Of all the mice I've used, the M510 has felt the best in my hand, has the best feel for left/right clicking, and has the best amount/arrangement of buttons. It also has a very nice smooth feel when gliding it on my mouse pad. The M310 seems to have smaller glide pads, and has a slightly slower feel (i.e. some drag) when moving it on the same mouse pad. (I only use my mouse on a mouse pad, so I can't attest to any other surface.) The M705 has the largest pads, and moves the smoothest, but didn't feel as good in my hand as the M510. In fact, it actually made my hand hurt. I don't know if it was the shape, or the stiffness of the right/left click buttons; but my hand hurt after 1 1/2 days of using it. Mice are very user-specific, depending on the shape/size of a person's hand, and the technique used. So it's impossible to say that a mouse that one person likes will work for another person. But for me, the M510 is the big winner. And the price is nice. I do recommend installing the SetPoint software immediately before using the mouse. It doesn't come with the mouse, but is available in the download section of the Logitech site. It provides more specific options than those available when you just plug in the Unifying receiver and go. The mouse will still work, but in a much more limited capacity. As others have already pointed out, even though the M510 comes with 2 batteries, it will work using only 1. I prefer using it with only one, because it makes the mouse a bit lighter. With the one battery, it has the right weight, IMO. Also, I checked the batteries that came with my mouse, and they went out of date in 2010. I put in a newer battery, although the mouse still worked with the one(s) that it came with. I also like the fact that the M510 gets great battery life.

Great mouse

Gute Mouse für den täglichen Gebrauch (ich mache allerdings kein gaming, dazu kann ich nichts sagen). Sie liegt gut in der Hand und kann auch mit der linken Hand benutzt werden. Ich bin zwar Rechtshänderin, habe aber schon immer die Mouse mit links betätigt, ich kann sie aber auch mit rechts benutzen. Läuft auch gut über das Mousepad. Für mich perfekt.

This mouse is perfect. The feel is ideal for my hand. It's very comfortable. It feels like it was sculpted for repeated use. It slides well on any surface. The laser is invisible to the naked eye, so you won't go blind it you turn it upside down. Setting up the mouse is easy. I have a Windows 10 64 bit Home Edition laptop. I just plugged it in the side USB port and the mouse worked. All features were functional. No issues. No pain. No fuss. Just works. I love the two buttons on the left side of the mouse. They make going forward and back on web pages and folders quick and easy. In fact, when I'm on other computers that use different mice, I find myself just naturally trying to use my thumb to go back or forward, and am disappointed that they don't have those two handy buttons. The battery life is a million years, I think, considering I have never had to replace them. The mouse turns off on its own, and it also has a manual switch on the bottom to ensure it stays off when you have it in your laptop bag -- big convenience The scroll wheel is as you would want and expect. Scroll up or down and it does it. When you click the scroll wheel, the quick scroll features turns on, so all you have to do is move the mouse up, down, left, or right, and the page will move quickly so that you don't have to scroll the wheel on long pages. Moving the scroll wheel left or right makes the page move left or right. Everything just works right. I use this mouse for travelling, and would not go without it. I refuse to use those small laptop mice that end up giving you carpel tunnel syndrome. This mouse is functional, has a very good form, has no issues setting up, the USB dongle is very small, and has a long battery life. It's great. No regrets. I have used this mouse for several months. I have the option of using my laptop's tracking pad, a touch screen, or the mouse. I find I use the mouse the most, then the touch screen, and rarely the tracking pad.

Für mich die beste Maus die es gibt. Liegt super in der Hand usw.

Le fabricant Suisse est pas le leader pour rien, j'ai recommandé la même car pour moi c'est le top.....y a pas de débat à avoir !
