The real selling point for this item was its claim of extended battery life, so we can’t judge that yet. We are pleased with how smoothly it works. We had to dial down the tracking speed in order to keep up with it.

I purchased this wireless mouse to use when I’m working out of the office and don’t want to bring my keyboard/mouse combo. It’s small enough to just plop in my purse and carry with me wherever I’m going. The click quality and responsiveness of the mouse is exactly what you’d want. I have not had any issue with battery life and it’s easy to connect to your laptop.

Extremely comfortable to hold, silky smooth on surfaces, and a great bang for your buck. Feels sturdy for the price/doesn’t feel cheap and gives a satisfying audible click. Came with a free battery too which was a nice bonus. Only complaint is that it’s a little small for my liking, but that’s moreso a personal issue since the M185 was labeled for “mid to smaller hands” and mine are on the larger side. Overall, very satisfied with it!

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 uptracking is smoothCONS:did not come with USB recieversharp edge around entire mouse (seam)limited color options

Pairs on bluetooth with Samsung Galaxy Note 23 (Android 10) system. Designed for small hands, yet very nice, quiet and useful. Great option for the price!

Main Pro- connects easily and quickly to any Bluetooth compatible device and COMES WITH A BATTERY!!Cons- not ergonomic but knew that when purchasing and it wasn’t a dealbreaker still pretty comfortable to use

I do get angry at my games on my laptop sometimes (I play Stardew) and I tend to take it out on my mouse… However, it stays to be in good shape, despite the beatings it took!I’m very happy with the color, performance, grip, buttons, connection to my laptop and other devices, and it’s also very comfortable to use! It doesn’t hurt my wrist at all, despite the mouse’s simple appearance.The mouse color also matches my phone color and my laptop case color which is very cute. The product itself is very portable and it performs very well.

Honestly, I have to admit I had some issues with this mouse at first when got it.I purchased this to use with my M1 MacBook which only has 2 USB C ports (thanks Apple), so I didn’t want to waste one with a receiver or to have to always use a dongle. This mouse seemed like the perfect fit. On the first weeks, however, I had a lot of issues with it stuttering and it was not a great experience. I found out that that was more of an Apple issue than a Logitech issue, and that it even happened with Apple’s Magic Mouse on some laptops. I tried everything to fix it, but it just didn’t budge. A few weeks later, my laptop received an update that seems to have fixed it. It still stutters sometimes, but way less than before, and not enough to be bothersome of even noticeable.Then, there is the case of the scroll wheel and the software. Apparently, Logitech hadn’t updated their software to work with the M1 macs yet, so it just didn’t work at all for a few weeks. I had to adapt to the mouse as it was, without being able to configure it to my liking (which was one of the main things I wanted). The scroll wheel has some impressive technology, but it was a bit too soft for my liking, and it would not scroll smoothly on the Mac OS. Today, I finally got the app to work and it, after messing around with it, I’ve got this mouse to be just as I wanted. Really, it is perfect.You can disable the thing where it transitions from ratched mode to smooth mode automatically, you can adjust the firmness of the scroll, and you can configure every one of its 5 buttons to do pretty much whatever you want. The technology on the scroll wheel is truly impressive, and the battery life is flawless (I use it every day, all day, and I still haven’t had to charge it, not even once – and it shows a full battery on the Logi Options app).The clicks are indeed loud, but not enough to be bothersome in my opinion. It is an expensive mouse, but one that seems very well built and, knowing Logitech, one that will last for years to come. I fully expect to have to upgrade my laptop before having to buy another mouse.Recommended.

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.
