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

التعليق

Logitech is known for their outstanding products, and this mouse appears to be rugged, stylish, and very functional! Its a bit smaller than my M510 and not quite as "comfortable", but being compact, I expect it to feel a bit different than a full-size mouse. It definitely feels better than the M305 or M505 The stripes on the side add a touch of style, but they are "slick"... I would rather have the rubberized grip full-length of the sides, rather than in front and behind the stripe. Scroll wheel is very smooth and "light" touch... rather then feeling the "deep clicks" of the scroll on the M510 or M310, this one is very sensitive and can easily scroll "fast". The texture of the scroll wheel is very nice and grips well for vertical or horizontal scrolling. There are no "forward/back" buttons on the left side of the mouse, like the M510/710, but I knew that before ordering... no biggie, but youd think Logitech would make those standard on all but their most basic lines. Mouse is very responsive and works on pretty much any smooth surface (at least any Ive tried so far). Battery compartment is easy to open (release button on bottom of mouse), and the batteries (included, but not Duracell like normally included with Logitech devices) install easily. There is also a storage slot for the nano receiver... but most people will just leave it plugged into the computer/laptop. Syncing the device was a breeze... plugged in the receiver and after a few seconds, it recognized this mouse, as well as my M510 and K350 keyboard, which were both in the same room. Selection of devices to sync with was a breeze... click and go. All in all, a great mouse for travel with my laptop, and I wont have to worry about batteries for at least a couple of years, even if I forget to turn it off before tossing it into the bag. I would have preferred a satin finish, rather than the shiny/slick finish, but that is just a matter of preference... does not affect function and does not appear to show finger-prints like youd expect a shiny finish to do. UPDATE: Ive been using this mouse for nearly a year, and suddenly it stopped working. After some troubleshooting on my own, I found the Unified Receiver to be the fault. I contacted Logitech, and after speaking with them for only 3-4 minutes, they shipped out a new Unified Receiver! FANTASTIC customer service dept.! The new receiver arrived in a couple of days, and my mouse is happily scooting and scrolling along again!

This is a worthy successor to the older M325 wireless mouse. The fit is good on the hands, although I prefer the more satin-like finish on the M325 to the glossy finish on this. Responsiveness is smoother, more fluid than on its predecessor, and it works very well on a variety of surfaces. The higher responsiveness is especially nice on 4K displays, where you have greater precision across the much higher resolution landscape. The M525 seems to be missing the "reset" button thats on the bottom of the M325. I dont see it anywhere inside/beneath the battery cover either. Maybe its no longer needed. Logitech claims that the battery life on these is 3+ years. Since I bought this relatively early in 2018 I should then expect to use these batteries until 2021. Even if they crap out after *only* one year I would still consider that impressive. I read some complaints in other reviews regarding this mouse having a tendency to drag on surfaces. I have not experienced this at all, and in fact it moves just as smoothly on my mouse pad and wood desktop as the M325. Besides the glossy finish, and the color--which is more orange-red than on the M325--theres nothing to dislike about this mouse. Ill probably end up with a half dozen of these around my house soon. :)

I bought two new Mac minis for Christmas along with the Apple Magic mouse and the Apple Magic keyboard with numeric keypad for each computer. One of the Macs is for my daughter who is a college Freshman and the other Mac is for my home office where I work about 50% of the time. After using the Magic mouse and keyboard for about a week, I just could not get comfortable with the feel of the mouse. The ergonomics are just completely wrong. My daughter noticed the same thing. Perhaps we have just been spoiled by Logitechs great designs over the years. I returned the Magic mice and we now use the Logitech M525 which works perfectly with the Mac mini. Just plug in the usb chip and start using. Moreover, the Logitech M525 feels great and costs less than 1/2 of the Magic Mouse. If you buy a Mac Mini, definitely put the Logitech M525 on your list. You also might want to consider a MACALLY keyboard while you are at it!

Purchased to replace M505 mouse that worked great for 7+ years until I dropped it while on a hard tile floor :-(. The scroll wheel doesnt have big discrete clicks like the M505, instead you can flick the wheel and it goes flying down the web or document page. This was a bit odd at first, but now I really like it a lot. Other than that, it is very similar. Fits easily in the pocket of my mens kakis when walking with my laptop between meetings. Good range. The only downside (if you can call it that) is that darn near everyone in my office has one in black, so I bought mine navy to keep from getting them switched. I have a super-lightweight business laptop with very few USB ports, so I LOVE the unify and mirco-receiver feature. I have two K320 keyboards (one at work & one at home), an N305 number pad for data entry (gets infrequent use, but super handy when needed) and an M570 thumb-trackball that I am just starting to use to reduce carpal/tendonitis issues. Super nice to have that all work with just ONE dongle.

The battery life is excellent due to the mouse going into what seems to be a sleep-mode while no motion is detected, however, there is absolutely zero lag when it does detect motion. The cursor movement is silky smooth, as is the scroll wheel. In fact if you want, you can flick the scroll wheel and it will continue to rotate for a short while after your finger leaves it. Dont be alarmed when you dont see red light coming from the optical sensor, this device seems to operate using an infrared LED light source, which by definition consumes less energy than a visible LED, thus further contributing to the long battery life. The included universal receiver USB dongle is small and unobtrusive, it even stores within the battery compartment of the mouse for easy travel, and can be used to receive input from multiple Logitech peripherals.

I was in the process of building my small kids a PC for school. Being a kid, you obviously have smaller hands. Another aspect I didnt think about was that one of my kids is left-handed. Ive always had right-handed oriented mice and never gave it another thought. I went with a generic Chinese mouse from a company called VicTsing. To summarize that product, it was -5 stars. The USB transceiver dongle broke (cheaply made), the mouse didnt communicate with the transceiver despite having fresh batteries half the time, and their customer support is non-existant! I started shopping around for "small ambidextrous mice" and this Logitech came up. Ive owned many Logitech devices before (speakers, remotes, mice, keyboards) and have always been pleased with them. This is double the price but at least I know I have a quality product. No issues whatsoever so far!

Most comfortable mouse in my hand: combination of weight and compact size is just right for office and travel, IMO. (I wear a mens size M in gloves; if your hand is larger the M525 probably will feel too small.) Easy to control, I have no issues with the scroll wheel. Reliable over the long term. Battery seems to last forever. Ive connected this mouse with a couple of Dells and Mac over the last 4-5 years. If youre a Mac user there is no reason to use a mouse without a "right click" feature. I use basic office productivity software, no video editing or art design, so I dont want a mouse cluttered with "features". I prefer a 3-button mouse for the simplicity. Back to buy another while I can, because Ive tried several other models but all the newer ones feel too light and insubstantial, and the full size models just feel bulky after using this for awhile. What could be improved? Logitech, if youre reading, can you please make a bluetooth version of the 525 that works without the receiver?

I really love this mouse...I bought one to use at home. I went to test it at work and it never came back home, I bought another one for home. So far, the battery life is excellent. The battery does indeed lasts quite a while. The one at work, Im still using the same batteries (regular Duracell) and its been over one year and it still going strong. I use it everyday (M-F) at work and I even leave it turned on overnight. Coworkers also tried to prank me by taking out one of the batteries...and I was still able to use it...whose laughing now lol. Theres only two small cons...small enough that it doesnt cost a star. It seems the distance of the mouse to the dongle isnt very far. Effective range is like 3 feet. Any further than that, the mouse pointer starts skipping. My fix is my monitor has a USB on it, so I just use that and it works perfectly. The other little thing is that within a year or so, I had to change out the feet already. The original ones were still kind of working, but it just began to scrape against my desktop. I was able to purchase new feet...and it works great. I love the size, because I use my fingers to move the mouse instead of my wrist...reduces carpel tunnel. It is smaller than your typical mice, but not tiny. The wheel was a surprise, because the clicks are very close to each other and very accurate. I could scroll slowly or zip through a long page without a lot of effort. Im so glad it has the side-to-side wheel buttons for forward and backwards, since I use that a lot too. The accuracy of the mouse pointer is quite high. Perfect for work...very decent for gaming. Its nothing like the settings as a Razor, but out of the box, this mouse is still good. Highly recommend...especially if you could get it at $17.99 or less? For this mouse, Any from $25 and below is worth the price.

I have been a fan of M510 for years. So this M525 had some BIG shoes to fill. First ~ Logitech unifies the connection per device or set. When I purchased the last 3 - M510s they were in a set with the K350 keyboard. Dont throw the wireless USB connector away. The M525 is an addition. So you will need 2 ports. Back to the M525. I fell in love with it in mere seconds. It is FAST ! the wheel is superb. The "click" sound is minimal. The right/left control on the wheel will take getting use to. No de-dents on the wheel, smooth. This is a smaller class mouse, not the older size class. Ita even a bit smaller than the M310 on my second computer. Comfortable ~ YES. Forgiving without a mouse pad ~ yes. On sale for under $20 ~ a must have. PLUS you get Logitech superiority ! Logitech should bundle the M525 & K350 board. That would be an awesome set.

Just arrived today so dont know about battery or durability but this seems like a great, well made mouse. I like the simple, easy and functional design. Right/left clicks, scrolling wheel that is the smoothest I have EVER used and so nice to be able to page left/right just by tilting the scroll wheel rather than trying to depress a side button. Highly recommend this mouse
