Logitech M720 Triathalon Multi-Device Wireless Mouse Black

Very hard to find a decent Bluetooth wireless mouse. Needed one for my work laptop due to the removal of so many USB ports. I wanted something that didn't _require_ a dongle for wireless transmission because it removes the point of having a freed up USB spot, so I found the Triathalon. It was an added bonus that it could do either Bluetooth or the unify 2.4ghz wireless ability, so that was nice to have. I really liked how good this felt in the hand and it has side buttons that I absolutely need to do quick transitions back and forth between pages. Extra bonus gesture button that allows me to switch between applications even easier, and the ability to customize it on top of that! The battery life has so far been OK. I've only had it since June 12th, it's August 14th now and the battery meter shows 2/3 bars of life remaining. The Triathalon pairs up to just about everything I've tried rather quick and without any issues. Probably the easiest pairing experience I've ever had on any mouse. The software is optional and only helps with the assignment of buttons and adjustments. I've found it very unintrusive and I actually check it for adjustments and battery level. Since it's not a pain, I actually like having the software around. I'm sure if I got the energy/desire to set it up fully with an account, that data transferring option benefit would be neat. But as of yet, I haven't tried how well that works. The switching of devices through the 1-2-3 button I didn't think I'd ever use, but when I had another test laptop sitting on my desk, desperately needing a mouse vs using the awful touch pad, this absolutely came in handy. No extra mouse cluttering my already cramped desk. For giggles, I paired the 3rd device to my phone and all three worked really well. I could switch between all three with a button press, waiting about 1-2 seconds for it to switch and recognize on the device, and it just worked flawlessly. My only gripe is that the mouse has the completely annoying and unnecessary loud *CLICK* when clicking the two primary buttons. It's 2019 guys! we don't need a click sound! at least not that loud. make one way quieter or silent. I miss that about my junky old mouse. Great mouse all around. If i didn't use a good Logitech gaming mouse I just bought a few months ago for my home PC, I'd buy another one for there too. Read more

I recently got an iMac and had originally hoped to use it in Target Monitor Mode but I missed the part where Apple stopped supporting that in 2014. No big deal, I have a monitor for my Win10/Hacintosh but I wanted to use just one mouse and Keyboard for both. I use a KVM at work so I am very used to using multiple systems and multiple screens. So I started looking fo solutions and asking around. Mouse: First purchase was a Logitech Triathlon. Besides being a really nice mouse, it can connect to up to three computers. There is a side switch that lets you switch between the computers. I have the USB dongle plugged into the Win10/Hacintosh because it lacks Bluetooth. It connected to the iMac using bluetooth automatically, no action by me. Switching is easy and as long as you are logged in, you can do a lot with just the mouse. As an example, I often use the Win10 system as a YouTube player. I don't need to type anything. Keyboard: For the Keyboard I got a UGreen USB Sharing Switch. This is a simple "one in, two out" switch. I ran my Red Dragon K580 in and sent it out using the supplied USB cables. The box is about the size of a pack of playing cars, flat black with a tiny, not very bright (in a good way) blue LED that moves to indicate one of the two cables. Its simple and it just works. Very nice. So now I have both systems sharing a Keyboard and Mouse and each driving their own monitor. Its a setup I like a lot and while it would have been nice to send everything to the iMac screen, I would lose the ability to have YouTube running in one system completely independent of the other like I can now. Total cost was $55 - $33 for the mouse and $14 for the switch. You would be hard pressed to find a good KVM for $55 and you would still need a mouse. Additionally by splitting the functions like I did I can switch just the mouse or just the keyboard if I choose. Downside of course is that switching is two presses not one but I can live with it. If you need/want to share a keyboard and mouse between two systems, I recommend this setup. Read more

The functionality of this device is outstanding when its features are put to use. While there are so many things to like about this mouse, and IMO nothing to dislike, I guess the top features on my list are: 1) controlling up to three computers, 2) copy and paste between computers, and 3) the 8 buttons (i.e. 8 different commands. For example, I’m using two of the five gesture motions to increase/decrease volume and two other gesture motions to zoom in and out. Note these are not just one-shot commands, even though they will do that too. These gestures are continuous as the mouse is moved as long as the gesture button is pressed.). I’m currently using the M720 across a Windows 10 desktop using the included USB Unifying Receiver, and a Microsoft Surface Pro 7 tablet/laptop using Bluetooth. The communications range has been excellent for both. If the Surface Pro is sleeping, moving the cursor to it wakes it up and face recognition (Windows Hello) instantly signs me in. It’s just seamless. It’s cute how the 1, 2, and 3 lights on the mouse momentarily light up as the cursor is moved between computers 1, 2, and 3. When my current wireless USB keyboard dies, I’m getting a Logitech keyboard because Logitech’s cross-computer "Options" software with “Flow” technology will drag the keyboard across with the cursor too. Up to three computers can be controlled with one mouse and one keyboard. The scroll wheel is also nice. It has a flywheel action that will spin up/down a page in no time flat. This mouse may be overkill for someone that doesn't want 8 function commands or multiple computer control. However, even the basic mouse functions seem to be well crafted. Read more
