For my 20 bucks I got what I paid for and more. This mouse is still in use on my wife's computer and works perfectly. It sips the energy from the battery. I am not 100% sure how long they actually last but I know for sure that each battery is lasting several months before we have to replace it and she uses that laptop with this mouse almost every day. The Nano receiver is great. It is so small she never has to take it out. The laptop slides right into it's case with no catching issues at all from this little thing. It is simply too small to be a problem, it doesn't stick out much more than a pencil eraser in size. It also stores away inside the mouse itself if you do need to remove it so you never lose it. It has a power save feature which automatically turns the mouse off when not in use in order to save battery life even more. There is also a switch on the bottom of it to turn it off manually for packing and traveling with. This thing comes in many color choices and is the one I recommend to all my friends who need a wireless travel/laptop mouse. I have since bought additional units for my own personal use. Highly recommended. Read more
The Logitech M305 wireless mouse is a solid purchase due to value and general build and functionality of the mouse. Pros: - Uses a AA battery which offers longer life over AAA battery powered mice. - The USB connector is very small and can simply remain in your laptop during storage. - The feel of the mouse is very comfortable. When purchasing I was concerned this mouse would be too small and hard to use, but that is not the case. I've used this mouse for over 40 hours now and am very pleased. - The optical laser is precise in movements over multiple services from shiny tables to rough paper. I have had no issues operating this mouse regardless of surface. Cons: - The USB connector has to be stored inside the battery compartment if placed back in the mouse. That's a small bummer since you have to open the battery compartment each time you need to get to it. Minor issue. Overall I am satisfied with the purchase and suspect this wireless mouse to last years. Read more
update: in hind sight, you might consider the logitech mx anywhere mouse. Though the mx is more expensive, it works on any surface, such as glass. I liked the M305 but found that i had to buy the mx as i had trouble on some surface with the m305. ---- I like this mouse because: PROS: a) It uses a single AA battery - lasts for a few months. I use eneloop. b) Mouse is very smooth and responsive. Absolutely no delay. c) The scroll mouse does make some sound, but I am not aware of it while I use my computer. d) There's an ON/OFF button. e) *** love this: the compartment that holds the battery also can hold the mini USB transmitter! It's enclosed so it won't pop out. I bought some generic mouse before and it failed after a few months. I bought a few M305 from radio shack when it was on sale - used it for about 6 months. I then bought another when it was on sale on amazon. No issue so far. I would go with this instead of the generic mouse that also have the mini transmitter because I hear that some of the mini transmitter would get hot and get shorted after a few months. I had that experience. Read more
I bought a Lenovo x201 laptop last year. I just wanted to buy a small, cordless but powerful mouse that fits my computer well. At first I tried a bluetooth mouse which is a Razor since I wanted to keep the USB slots free for other devices. It works only when it works, I mean, it periodically lose connection with the computer which really drives me nuts. So I decided to try a wireless one and came into this logitech M305 wireless mouse. It took only two days to arrive after I ordered last month thanks to amazon prime. And for the first month using, it functions just like I expected. Ultra-portable, accurate pointing, works on any surface without any mouse-pad, never lose connections, easy to setup(just as the ad, plug the tiny receiver, and forget it), easy to use. just perfect. For those guys who usually bring their computer home, to school or to work back and forth, I strongly recommend this. It takes one of your usb slots, but so what? nowadays most computers' got at least three on them. Pros: - Small, ultra-portable - accurate, easy to use, just like a normal mouse. - easy to setup, battery included in the box, don't need to do anything to install other than plug in the receiver - never lose connection Cons: - takes one USB slot, if it counts a cons - probably not for gaming, and a little bit small for big hands.
