Logitech Wireless 3 Button Optical Receiver Reviews Summary

Build Quality and Design

Pros:

• "The Logitech M170 is the perfect-sized mouse!"
• "Feels good in my hand (female with small to medium hand size), clicks and scrolls easily, doesn’t get stuck or have a delay."
• "Some reviewers are saying that the construction is flimsy, but I disagree; it's made of a lightweight composite that makes it easier to manipulate than most wireless mouses."
• "Finally a mouse that I can see. It is white and pink instead of the ubiquitous black as is found on all computer accessories and cables."
• "The build quality is great, the design looks nice, and it works as a mouse."
• "What sets this wireless mouse apart is its ergonomic design and comfortable grip."
• "Love the new grip. Very comfortable."

Cons:

• "The quality isn't great - it's super light and feels flimsy."
• "Very cheap plastic mouse, has no weight and hollow sound."
• "Feels flimsy--I prefer a more substantial mouse."
• "This one feels the cheapest and flimsiest out of all of them."
• "It feels cheaply made and lacks the heft of major brands."
• "The blue plastic across the top rattles a bit and feels cheap."
• "The mouse feels as if it was designed for a child. It is so so small."

Connectivity and Setup

Pros:

• "EASY connection. I just turned off the old mouse and this one connected itself after I plugged in the receiver."
• "Plug in the USB, pull the battery strip and was using literally immediately."
• "After popping in 1 AA battery, it instantly connected with my laptop via the tiny usb it came with."
• "The dongle is tiny and the connection worked quickly and easily, I use Windows 10."
• "Just plug the dongle into the computer, and remove the plastic battery shield, and turn on the power button on the bottom of the mouse, and it works."
• "The adapter is a tiny plug you just connect to a spare usb port. No drivers to install."
• "The mouse worked perfectly within 30 seconds of plugging in the USB receiver - it's responsive and accurate."

Cons:

• "I Took it out of the package and Plugged the Bluetooth adapter into the computer but the mouse wouldn’t work."
• "It used to work fine but now the computer is not able to detect it properly."
• "conection between mouse and dongle is intermittent and the scroll wheel sounds like it needs a good greasing."
• "While using this with my Linux machine, it consistently shuts off by itself despite the fact that its USB receiver is plugged in."
• "This mouse will not pair with a Logitech Unifying receiver; don’t purchase if that’s your reason for getting this mouse!"
• "I have a Macbook Air, this mouse is not Blue Tooth connected but requires a USB (C) connector so thanks to Apple I require an adapter."
• "I guess you get what you pay for. This cute little mouse, by a company I like, refused to connect to my new laptop either by bluetooth or USB."

Battery Life

Pros:

• "Never had to replace a battery before it stops working."
• "The mouse works great, battery life is really good as well."
• "It also runs well on the battery, meaning low battery consumption, no blinker light."
• "Since when I got it I didn't change the battery, and I use it every week, if you use it every day it will probably take a little less time to change, but still has a long battery life."
• "Have been using it for around a month and battery is still good."
• "The battery life will also last you almost a year, and the batteries are easy to replace."
• "This little mouse far exceeded my expectations! Not only is it very responsive but the battery life is very very good."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately, the mouse never turned on or lit up. I tried replacing its battery with multiple different batteries, but no dice."
• "I initially thought a new battery was needed but that was not the case."
• "So much for 1 year battery life."
• "I leave it on all the time... I have never changed the battery."
• "Completely stopped working after 4 months, tried 4 separate batteries which worked in every other device I tried them in."
• "The battery may have a long-life, but what about the mouse? I pulled the tab as instructed to activate the electronics, but nothing happened."
• "Purchased this mouse on June 26, 2023, and as of today, November 6, 2023, it is no longer working. I have tried several new batteries and used the troubleshooting instructions and nothing."
