Logitech M705 Marathon Wireless Mouse

I’ve had the M720 for over five years, used primarily for gaming with my desktop setup. I’ve purchased a second one to use with my new gaming laptop. I shopped for other options, and I didn’t find anything I’d consider comparable for under $40. I recommend combing through the various features of this mouse presented in the listing, as it has a lot to offer. Below are six reasons I chose the M720 a second time, separated and numbered for convenience.

1) I’ve never had a connection issue with either the dongle or Bluetooth. Again, it’s been over five years.

2) The battery life is amazing. I have to change the single AA battery once a year, MAYBE twice some years. The new mouse also came with a Duracell already inside, and a plastic tab to pull out, indicating that it is fresh.

3) The responsiveness of the cursor on-screen to the mouse’s movement is accurate and feels natural.

4) I’ve never had need of the three side buttons, but it’s a really nice feature. I very rarely accidentally press the side buttons, but when I do, it’s quick and effortless to correct.

5) The finish is matte rubber, which to me looks much higher quality than shiny, hard plastic. The texture is smooth and soft, doesn’t stick to your skin during long periods of use, and feels good. It’s also worthy to note that the bottom of the mouse is no longer white like in the photos, it is now black to match the rest of the design. I like it better.

6) The shape, size, and weight of this mouse are perfect for me. The indentation on the left side holsters my thumb comfortably, while the high, rounded part on the top fits securely in my palm beneath my index and middle knuckles. It does not require much of a grip at all. My hand rests naturaly and operates the mouse with minimal effort. It’s a great multi-functional choice, capable of supporting me through many hours, and is suitable for browsing, work, and gaming.

Es un mouse muy completo, la batería le dura mucho, la calidad del materia es buena, tiene botones para personalizar y realizar ciertos comandos que son muy prácticos en el día, de igual manera es muy sencillo realizar el cambio de dispositivo hasta en tres equipos esto con un solo click.
Excelente precisión, tienen un botón para realizar desplazamientos rápidos o lentos en la pantalla, lo cual se agradece al estar revisando documentos de muchas páginas.

First let me tell you my experiences with wireless computer mice before discussing the pros and cons. I am very picky about mice, and trust me I have used a lot of mice – not only from Logitech but also from other brands – over the years. Even from Logitech alone, I have used several of their models – from the bottom tier to the top tier. But no other mouse has ever given the satisfaction that this one is giving. It is, hands down, the best wireless mouse for office and home uses imo. Now, let’s discuss the pros and cons.
PROS: In a nutshell, this mouse has everything you can ask from a office and home purpose mouse. Nevertheless, I would like to point out some major advantages:

1. Well built with quality materials, sturdy and good looking.

2. Ergonomic design that fits average size hands perfectly.

3. Scroll wheel is the best I have used. It does both horizontal and vertical scrolling. Also, you can switch between ‘line-by-line scrolling’ and ‘super fast scrolling’ just through a tap of the button over the scroll wheel. This method provides far more accurate and consistent scrolling than what I have experienced with Logitech MX Master 3S, although this model cost me one-third of the Master 3S’s.

4. Multiple programmable button that you can customize through the Logitech Option+ software.

5. There is a gesture feature also! You can tap and perform several commands using different gestures. The commands are customizable through the software. This feature helps me immensely.

6. Charging indicator light is very handy.

7. Connect up to 3 devices using the dongle and two different Bluetooth bandwidth. Each one has an indicator number that lights up according to which connection is active (how cute is that!). You can switch smoothly between multiple devices.

8. The battery backup is extraordinary.

9. There is an on/off button at the back of the mouse. You can turn it off in case you decide to not using it for a long time.

Now let’s discuss the cons. Well, these are not cons for me personally but I guess some people might find them uncomfortable.

1. This mouse is not well-suited for gaming. It doesn’t have that much high DPI that a gaming mouse needs. This is not a con of this model since it is not intended for gaming. Just a caution.

2. Some people might find the clicking sound a little louder, though I am totally fine with it.

I can’t think of any other cons, so far I have experienced none.

Conclusion: If you are looking for a mid budget mouse best suited for home and office uses, you do not want to miss it. Just give it a try and see for yourself.

I’ve been using this wireless mouse for a few weeks now, and it’s been a great addition to my tech gadgets. The first thing I noticed was its sleek and modern design, which not only looks good on my desk but also feels comfortable in my hand. The wireless connectivity is strong and reliable, providing a seamless experience with no lag or disconnection issues, which is crucial for both work and casual use.

Battery life is impressive; it’s lasted longer than I anticipated on a single charge, minimizing the hassle of frequent recharging. The mouse is responsive and precise, making tasks like photo editing and document navigation smooth and effortless.

One minor drawback is the lack of programmable buttons, which would have been a nice feature for customizing my user experience, especially for certain software applications. However, for general use, this hasn’t been a significant issue.

Overall, this wireless mouse offers excellent value for its price, combining functionality, style, and comfort. It’s a solid choice for anyone looking to upgrade their mouse without breaking the bank. I’d happily recommend it, giving it a solid 4 stars.
