LogitechWireless Mouse M325 with Designed-For-Web Scrolling - Red

Very good works great

I have apparently owned this mouse for SEVEN YEARS. Still works great. Never had a single problem. I own two of them because I left one at college over winter break right after I got it and refused to use my laptop at home until I got a second mouse. This has led to some "fun" mixups where I have the wrong mouse/toggle combo but that's on my ADHD brain, not the mouse.I was about to replace my ~nice~ work mouse at the office (a wireless thinkpad mouse that also has great reviews) and then I realized I don't have to buy the matching thinkpad mouse, I can buy yet another copy of this mouse because this mouse is superior in literally every way. More comfy in the hand, nicer shape/arch, scroll wheel feels better. Honestly it even feels nicer (in terms of comfort) in my hand than the Razor wired gaming mouse I have, but that's subjective. I can't speak for battery life really but it seems normal in that regard. It certainly doesn't feel like I've had to replace it very often. I'm not a SuPeR gAmEr or anything but for playing stuff like Path of Exile and Genshin Impact it's been fine. Another nice thing, although extremely niche, is that when I sprained my wrist a few months ago and had to wear a brace this was the only mouse I could grasp properly while wearing it.But yeah, I have been using this mouse for seven years, the first six of which was daily as a student (one who's free time outside of schoolwork was spent on the internet or playing basic videogames) and still use it pretty regularly since then.UPDATE: Going on year 9! On top of using it when working remotely I’ve also been using it for several hours daily for the last nine months since getting into FFXIV (the critically acclaimed mmorpg with an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Heavensward, and thrilling Stormblood expansions up to level 70 for free with no restrictions on playtime). I cannot stress enough how much I use this mouse, and I leave it on 24/7 - I don’t switch it off on the bottom overnight or anything. I don’t even remember the last time I changed the batteries. Last month a friend of mine was talking about a mouse they love and have had since college (5+ years), so I brought up this mouse and it turned out it is this same mouse. Hilarious stuff.

Just excellant. I'm using it with both Linux Mint and Win 10, and I bought a third for my mother to use on her Chromebox. The buttons have both a tactile and audible click, the wheel has fine detents that can just barely be felt. The wheel tilts sideways, too, being assigned to Back (tilt left) and Forward (tilt right) in Linux. I haven't tried customizing the buttons in either Linux or Win10. Their default functions were fine, right out of the box! The little LED on top turns on for only a few seconds when the mouse wakes up, then it goes out -- maybe that's the battery indication. The color and build quality is great, as with most everything that has come from Logitech.I moved from a small Microsoft Optical 5000 corded mouse for portables to this mouse, wanting to be free of cords. The AA battery makes the Logitech heavier, but also promises a long life between replacements. I leave the mouse switched on always, and I still expect more than a year on the battery. I'm not heavy-handed, so the rubber sides give it a good, non-slip feel, while the top is ergonomic, with just enough curvature to signal that your fingers are placed such that the wheel is where you expect, making the mouse an extension of your hand.I'm thinking of opening my laptop to embed the RF dongle inside the case, so it's not sticking out the side to catch on things. It's a small dongle, of course, but I see no reason to ever take it out, and I don't want it catching on a travel bag or (please no) breaking off if the laptop slips and falls. I think that all laptops should have a RF device (no, not a bluetooth pain) inside for cordless mice, headphones, and auxiliary speakers. Surely a software engineer can sort through the addressing and collisions.Just one bit of advice: If you get more than one, then resist the urge to get only your favorite color. Each dongle is dedicated to its own mouse, no problem there, but you still might pick up the wrong mouse when packing your bags!

Best mouse on the planet.

I've been using a new, red Logitech M325 mouse since the beginning of Feb. 2022. It receives extensive use daily with web scrolling, internet searches, word games, and scrolling to determine author's style for possible purchasing of Kindle books. My prior Logitech (CE M325) had been in use for many years before it began having tracking problems. This new Logitech M325 is lighter in weight, is comfortable, and responds well overall, having no problem with accuracy in point and click functions, highlighting, cutting and pasting, etc. The difference is that it's not quite as smooth on the sides and has slight stopping points when scrolling quickly, thus disrupting the smooth tracking flow when trying to quickly scan through longer passages of Kindle books. For use other than quickly scanning through pages of reading material, it functions very well. My prior M325 Logitech mouse tracked quickly and smoothly through long passages of reading material, stopping precisely. The lack of smooth tracking with the new M325, during quick book scans, is particularly annoying to me, as I search reading material multiple times per week. Because of this, I rated it 4 rather than 5 stars, despite its inexpensive cost.
