Logitech M185 Wireless USB Mouse

For last 1 year I am using it. No problem, battery is still there. No need to change it. good product. Automatically goes to sleep mode. It is same item, as i was expected, my first wireless mouse for home use, Construction is good, AA battery compartment has the free battery inside it, battery compartment has the slot for the tiny nano receiver, so that it will not be missed. On / off switch on it's back, with red green color mark along with sliding switch, a very well design to identify ON / Off mode. Only thing is it does not have battery indicator like dell model. Color is OK grey color. Ergonomic design very well fits to hand.Size is good, not too small , not too big. Weight is also less, So does not cause pain to hand. Smart sleep mode till now not checked, once i will check, I will update it. 3 years Logitech warranty is there, quit good. Battery life I will check, as per specification it is up to 1 year, but after 1 year use I will come to know, as for first time I have purchased. Tiny Nano receiver is quite small, instantly mouse started to work, with out installing software, as claimed in instruction with out any delay, quit impressive. I love this mouse, a very good product at a best economical price.

Speedy Delivery -- Check (although I chose 2 day delivery with additional Rs49, it came within 1 day). Product intact and safe packaging -- Check (logitech has its own packaging, but Amazon makes sure it is packages well with bubblewrap etc.). Card on delivery accepted -- Check (not all online delivery portal accept cards on delivery, very handy). Now coming to the working of the mouse, connect the bluetooth receiver and it directly takes the drivers from Windows update (Win7 is the OS I am using). So, within 2 mins it is ready if you have internet connected system. The receiver is small, so when connected to Laptop, won't be bulging out and you can use the laptop whichever way you like and the receiver won't come in the way or fear of breaking. Mouse size is good even for big hands and fits snugly. Now I did found out two cons (which may not be so much of a disadvantage, but yet posting the observation). 1) The clicks are noisy, not as much to wake you up from sleep but yes noisy when you work in the night. 2) No place to hold the small (rather Tiny) receiver in the mouse itself, so you have to carry that carefully. One way to bypass this is to keep one USB port hogged up on your laptop and the receiver rests there permanently. EDIT: I just figured out that there is a compartment to hold the tiny receiver along side the battery compartment itself. :)

Similar sized to my Logitech M195. This one however does not have the LED light on top (which many users seem to hate). Also the light at the bottom is not visible either. The battery compartment holds 1 AA battery that is supposed to last a year. It also has a slot to store the nano receiver. The scroll wheel is smooth. The on off button is convenient just like the M195. Also supposed to have an automatic power saving feature which turns the mouse off even if the button is On. This mouse is lighter than the M195. Product works immediately on connection to the computer. Also it comes with a 3 year warranty which is very good. The only downside of this mouse is that the click is kind of loud. I think I will get used to it eventually. The M195 had a subdued click which I found very good. Will still rate 5 stars despite the minor niggle of the loud click sound.

I've been using this mouse over the years. I would have bought a few already and each of them lasted pretty long without any performance issues. It's designed to be comfortable for everyone esp. folks with not too big hands. That said, I've seen people with larger hands also use this product. You can register this product on Logitech website but I don't see an option to register the warranty for this product. I mean it comes with 1 or 2 yrs warranty if I am not mistaken. Wish I could get that registered online so claim process could be much smoother. Otherwise it would be the case of old story where people put lot of efforts to claim warranty only to be rejected in most cases.

The battery life is too good. I use my computer for 6 - 8 hours a day and do not play any games. most of it is business use. I am using the same battery shipped with the mouse since date of purchase. It must be over 6 weeks now. My old wireless mouse had a large dongle and red flashing light under the mouse. This one has no visible light so it may be using IR. The dongle is also very small. I dont have to take it our from laptop before keeping the laptop in my bag. The scroll wheels works fine and clicks are good. The size is on the smaller size but you get used to it in couple of days. no problem with the product.

Product is not working. If we went for replacement, it showing to troubleshoot the error instead of processing replacement for the item.

Logitech M185 is my first wireless mouse and i have to say freedom of going wireless at such cheap rate is something cannot be described but only experienced as i'm doing it right now. Rating Product experience 3 stars based on fact that the mouse i received is slightly faulty. It's tracing laser is not correctly aligned and pointer tends to move downwards at an angle of around 2-5 degrees when i move the mouse from Right to Left. However might only be with piece i received and might not be a fault in all of the other pieces out there. The Mouse is a tad bit smaller as an average indian palm size. However, it is not uncomfortable to use. Do go with it if you want since it's cheap and hey it's wireless ;)

Pros 1. Was packaged well, and was easy to open at the same time. 2. The use is intuitive. I opened the battery compartment, attached the battery and inserted the receiver. The mouse connected instantly. 3. Works smoothly and flawlessly. Fits well to the hand. Cons Feels less sturdy than I would have liked. I've used the Microsoft 2000 before this. That mouse lacked a 'clicking' scroll wheel and made me feel like I was missing something. Already I feel better for it. I find the size also more comfortable; it is smaller than the Microsoft 2000. Apart from the build quality (which is still quite good), full marks - would've given 4.5 stars if allowed.
