Logitech M705 Marathon Wireless Mouse, Gaming Mouse Wireless, 2.4 GHz USB Receiver, 5-Programmable Buttons, 3-Year Battery, PC, Mac, Laptop, Chromebook - Black

I purchased the MK705 mouse to replace the same model that had simply worn out after over 13 years of faithful service. The MK700/710 Logitech keyboard is still going strong, albeit with a few worn keys.I did however run into an issue when installing the new mouse. At first I left the old unifying receiver that came with the old mouse plugged into a usb port. I installed the batteries in the new mouse, turned it on, and found that it would not work. I figured it needed the new unifying receiver, so I turned off the keyboard and mouse and plugged the new receiver into the same USB port. The new mouse then worked but the keyboard would not. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I phoned Logitech support. The gentleman I spoke with walked me through the connection process, which was done on their website "logiwebconnect.com". Should you run into the same issue, the process is simple. You probably won't need any help from tech support, but if you do, they were easy to get in touch with.

I've had many Logitech mice over the years I've really loved that were then discontinued. This is a long running mouse that pretty much ALL logitech users just love! And since it's long in the tooth, I'd recommend stocking up while you can. Here's some of the perks, but above all else, it feels so amazing!1. It's a smallish, very light, simple mouse. I personally don't like the giant gaming mice. This has everything I need, including a scroll wheel you can click between smooth and ratcheted mode.2. Uses 1 or 2 AA batteries - This gives it incredible battery life - many months at least. And when you do need to replace batteries, it's instant. I keep a pair in my backpack. So much more convenient than having to charge a rechargeable mouse, especially given rechargeable batteries slowly wear out.3. Works like a dream on Macs with no drivers installed at all!4. You can stash the wireless USB receiver dongle inside the mouse! Which is priceless.Note that nowadays, I have an Apple Silicon Mac, I have to use a tiny adapter to plug the dongle into a USB-C port. But it's still tiny and convenient.5. For me, Logitech still hasn't made anything better. I'd love to see a mouse almost like this with a USB-C receiver, but until then, it's as close as it gets to my perfect mouse. I have tons of these all over the place.

Bought this to replace my old Logitech.Within 30 seconds, I discovered the scroll wheel was "too fast" — until I pressed the button right next to it that toggles scroll modes.The side buttons? Programmable. Download Logitech Options+. It's free.This mouse is comfortable, customizable, and does exactly what it’s supposed to.If you don’t like side buttons or “smart” features… there are wired $8 mice for that.Pro tip: try Googling before you 1-star your own lack of effort.P.S. Virginia says hi.

Initially I found this mouse to be a bit confusing. Different in shape from the other Logitech's I'd been using for many years, and different software than the "Setpoint". I finally uninstalled all software and installed the "LogiOptions" to get it working properly. It will also respond to setpoint setting options once installed which is a good thing since the LogiOptions has very few. However, I've found it doesn't really need a lot of options. It's default setting are all I really need. Now that I've been using it for a while I kinda like it. The scroll wheel is a smooth scroll and can be spun to easily scroll large portions of screen in a split second. I also like the page back and page forward buttons on the side, operated by my thumb rather than using the wheel option forward and back operated by my arthritic index finger. Very quick and easy. I give it 4 instead of 5 stars primarily on aesthetics alone. The twisted shape and black color are rather ugly. Hey, give some color options to at least make it look a little cooler. ;-)

The Logitech M705 Marathon Wireless Mouse truly lives up to its name. It’s incredibly comfortable for all-day use, with an ergonomic design that fits perfectly in the hand. The 3-year battery life is great—I don’t have to worry about frequent charging or replacements. The 2.4 GHz USB Unifying Receiver provides a stable, lag-free connection, and setup is effortless. I do like the 5 programmable buttons, which make multitasking and productivity easier. Works flawlessly for my PC. For reliability, performance, and value, this mouse gets a solid 5 out of 5 stars from me.
