Logitech M535 Bluetooth Mouse, Gray - Black, Discontinued

I bought this mouse on impulse. I have an M557 paired to my laptop that has been serving me well for a few years now, but I like the design of Logitech's new mice (I have an M330 Silent that I use with my desktop that I absolutely love and if they release a "Silent" version of this mouse, I'm getting it!).I had no issues pairing the M535 with my Asus laptop and all functions/features respond well. This mouse is configured by the new Logitech Options software which feels a lot more simplified than the original SetPoint software. The button configuration is good as is, but I like to have the center mouse button pull up the Start Menu, so that was the only change. The sensor is accurate and properly responsive. I prefer a quicker mouse pointer, so a small increase there and I'm golden.It's definitely a travel size mouse, about the same size as the M557 only differing in the shape and texture. The matte finish on the buttons and rubberized surround give it a great in-hand feel. Like most Logitech mice it tracks smoothly (especially on my gaming mouse pad which is geared toward low friction). It is certainly lighter than the M557, as it only seats a single AA battery as opposed to the pair used by the M557. This is a subjective characteristic though, as users will differ in their preference regarding weight.On the subject of connectivity, I think I've already sorted all of that out with the M557. I used to experience dropped connections, but after searching onilne, I found a remedy focusing on the OS's networking and Bluetooth settings, preventing power and connections to be disabled (for battery savings and performance). With that in mind, the M535 has performed well and has never missed a movement or click.The main reason I opt for Bluetooth mice on my laptop, as many do, is to keep the USB ports free. This mouse, like the one before it, serves this purpose exactly. For anyone interested, make sure that your laptop/desktop is Bluetooth capable, otherwise you'll end up having to buy a separate Bluetooth dongle to connect the mouse, thus defeating the purpose of keeping the ports free. If this is the case, look into the M335, it's the same mouse using Logitech's wireless nano USB receiver.

This is a neat little mouse and I absolutely love it. If you ever need a compact yet still highly comfortable mouse for it's size, this is the mouse you want. Being Bluetooth, it works with any Bluetooth compatible device. I have used this in conjunction with a Bluetooth keyboard to turn my Galaxy Tab into a mini computer at times. Not requiring one of those USB receivers is also just such a huge plus, as I now don't lose a USB slot on my laptop and as stated before, it can be used on non-USB compatible devices such as tablets. For such a small mouse I was expecting it to strain my wrist or otherwise be uncomfortable to use extensively, but this was perfectly fine to use. Battery life is not bad either, though it would have been even more amazing if it was a rechargeable mouse instead of an AAA battery one. I also take this mouse with me when I'm out working on my Chromebook, and it just makes using the laptop so much easier. A mouse is still significantly superior to the touch pad, no matter how good the touch pad on the laptop actually is.

I have been in a search for a reliable compact wireless travel mouse for some timeI have bought several name brand small ones and all have had some problem or another that made them useless to me. The main problems have been severe USB lag, and battery life.I bought this one to try a blue tooth version. I was surprised at the results.It paired immediately and just started working . No lag at all. It uses a AA battery instead of AAA. So far, I haven't had to change it. It has an automatic battery save mode when not in use.It is a little larger than I personally like, but So far it has met all of my expectations.It is comfortable to use, very precise tracking, and positive key clicksI am quite happy with this device and hope that it is th end of my search!!

Here is the deal; this is a very good mouse. Bluetooth connectivity is solid as has super low latency when used. My own personal gripe and reason for 4 stars? It's a little smaller than I would like when my hand is resting over it.Can I get over it? Yes. Would I order another? Yes.

It's a Bluetooth mouse. It works flawlessly with my MacBook Pro (late 2016).But more than that: despite being clamshell packaging it has "EZ-open" tabs so make unpackaging easy and knife-free -- why aren't *all* clamshell packages like this? It needs a battery... it comes with a battery! Despite being comparatively inexpensive, it has a really nice slightly rubberized texture where you hold it that feels expensive. And despite being AA-powered, it uses only *1* battery instead of 2 so it's not too heavy! And it has a nice "light" click -- one of the main reasons I don't like Apple's mouse which requires a lot more pressure, which aggravates my carpal-tunnel.I saw some people complain this isn't "compact" enough and is closer to full-size. I disagree -- this is nicely compact for me, significantly shorter (length) and shorter (height) than a normal mouse, but without being tiny.All in all, pretty much a flawless mouse if you're looking for one that's small, light, and minimalist.
