5.0 out of 5 stars Basic mouse that works - - for now.
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2023
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.

We purchased a new laptop and because we never owned one we were used to a separate keyboard and mouse. So we ordered this blue tooth mouse and it works great. The price was right. It fits the hand well.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is the compact version
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2024
My hands are medium-sized to smallish, and this mouse is dwarfed by them. I don't see anywhere in the description that this one is the compact version, but it's entirely possible I missed it. As with all Logitech mouses (mice?), this one works very well. It is a scaled-down, basic model; no extra buttons or doohickies; instantly compatible with my desktop; functions entirely as it should. It's just SMALL. Finger on the right-click, it only comes to the middle of my palm, just barely below where my fingers meet palm. Perfect for portability; not so great for daily use at home for work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sanity Saver!
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2024
I started working from home a couple days a week and the work I do requires a lot of mouse clicking. Needless to say my husband was not used to hearing so many clicks and the noise was on his last nerve. I looked for a quieter mouse and came across this one. I have been a fan of Logitech mice for quite some time so I figured this would be a good product. Logitech did not let me down! I opened the box immediately to see just how quiet it really was and to my surprise it actually is SILENT!! It does connect to my laptop instantly as soon as I push the button on the bottom that puts it in discovery mode. It works just as smoothly as any of my other Logitech mice (not that I was expecting it to function any differently). I do wish that it came in more fun colors and patterns like the M325 for instance (like the ones you find at Best Buy, Walmart, Office Depot etc.)

There were a couple of downsides that I noticed (personal downsides, may not be an issue to everyone else). One of which is that even though it is a bluetooth mouse I would have liked to have the USB receiver, again not that big of a deal unless you don't have a bluetooth computer. Another thing I noticed is that there is a sharp edge all the way around the mouse. My pinky finger hangs over the side of the mouse and rubs against the seam, and I started to realize that my finger was starting to hurt. Unsure why I looked at the mouse and didn't see anything that would be obvious, however when I ran my finger around that seam I noticed that it was rather sharp. I asked my husband if he knew how I could fix it and he suggested sanding it down a little. I ran my nail around the edge on that side to see if I could knock some of the sharpness down and it seemed to work, holding it is more comfortable now.

PROS:
its SILENT!!!!
easy to set up
tracking is smooth

CONS:
did not come with USB reciever
sharp edge around entire mouse (seam)
limited color options

I guess you can call me old fashtion but I still like using a mouse with my computer. These wireless mouse's work great. They don't last forever, but several years is good for me.
The price to replace isn't bad. They don't require battery change very often either. I leave my mouse "on" all the time and hardly ever replace the batteries.

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024
I have been using this model for about a decade and have only replaced them a few of times and only once due to malfunction. Easy to control—not overly responsive but just enough. Quiet, good value for the money, never gives me wrist pain or trigger finger despite many hours of daily work.
