Logitech M525 Wireless Mouse – Long 3 Year Battery Life, Ergonomic Shape for Right or Left Hand Use, Micro-Precision Scroll Wheel, and USB Unifying Receiver for Computers and Laptops, Black/Gray

An excellent wireless mouse with good battery life, but that is because it uses two of them. The USB receiver is stored in the same compartment as the batteries and if it gets bumped in transport the batteries may come loose. Overall I would say that its older sibling, the M510 is better if you carry around the mouse in a backpack. It is very responsive, though, and just like the M510 it can be used for gaming with very little delay and no tracking issues in a home environment. No wireless mouse is good for a competition, though, as it can have interference with lots of cell phones and other wireless things around. My main problem with this mouse is like what many others have said, the scroll wheel is made out of sub-par material and wears out quickly. The surface becomes slick and the center axis for the mouse wheel has so many feedback bumps that cause it to feel cheap when you rotate it.

I liked my old m315 better but when it finally died on me after several years faithful service, this was the mouse I came up with as best replacement for the price. Optical sensor isnt quite as versatile (inaccurate on bedsheets) and the "micro precise" scroll wheel basically means it barely clicks from one spot to the next, which is not very good for PC gaming playing anything that requires actual precise scrolling. Also not a fan of needing 2 batteries, old mouse took only one at a time, and i may have used 4 batteries total in its lifetime. Also, this web scrolling capability is pretty much useless, I almost never click "forward" and you can just hit backspace to go back a page. Hopefully that phases out by the next time I need to buy a mouse.

UPDATE: Difficulty was erratic cursor disappearing, freezing and jumping -- was found to be because I plugged the receiver into a back USB port that was between two other connectors and perhaps shielded from the location 4 ft away from the mouse. I called Amazon tech assistance and they politely offered a refund if I returned the item, but I wanted to troubleshoot further and it paid off. I had loved this mouse in the beginning and really wanted to fix the issue. I am pleased with the outcome. Original Review: Started out saying this might be the best mouse in years, but shortly after getting it, it began "going to sleep" and you cant get it to wake up without pulling the batteries. It might be something to do with having 3 desktops in this office, but they were here when this mouse was new. Very frustrating... it can be working fine, then you type a few minutes and the mouse has frozen in place, cant wake it up by clicking any button or even banging it lightly. Then a few minutes later its working again. Tried new batteries 3 times, but the only way I can reliably wake it up is to remove and replace the batteries (two). Sometimes the cursor disappears, sometimes it just lies still and laughs at me.
