Logitech Wireless Mouse M185 (Swift Grey)

Really disappointed in this mouse. I bought this mouse on June 10th looking to replace another Logitech mouse that I had. At the time of this review, its July 29th, and Im having the same problems that I had with my old mouse. I use this mouse as an office mouse, probably around 6-8 hours a day, and the mouse is broken already. Whenever I try to click on something, it occasionally will just not click, which doesnt sound as annoying as it is until youre actually trying to open up a tab and youre wondering if your computer is just slow or if the tab isnt opening because it never actually registered the click. It also makes dragging and dropping things a pain because it tends to let things go in the middle of the drag and then I have to start from the beginning; same thing with highlighting. I like the fact that its cordless. I have a laptop with the USB slots all on the left side of my computer, so a corded mouse would be really inconvenient for me, as it would have to stretch all the way around the back of my laptop. I like the way this mouse fits in my hand and I like the little scroll wheel, thats never given me problems, but Im really disappointed that this mouse didnt even last two months and I have to look into getting another one. Every six months, maybe, but at this point I think Im going to have to look into another brand. Sorry, Logitech.

But the sensor isnt centered, which will irk a big fraction of users who are used to Logitechs previous M505/525s. Context: I use a fingertip grip as opposed to claw or palm grip. The scroll wheel is actually my favorite in terms of texture/traction because it allows for the easiest middle-clicking, but it doesnt side scroll. The clicking mechanism takes less effort than the M525 and the M505, so thats good. The side grips were quite nice (much better than the M560), but all these ergonomic benefits do not outweigh the off-centered sensor. For anyone whos used to a centered sensor, you know EXACTLY what I mean (you pivot on your wrist, so moving side to side translates to moving diagonally up to the right and diagonally down to the left when the sensor isnt centered. ANNOYING. Terrible for gamers.) If your mousing field on your mousepad looks like an actual square (where your sensor actually moves to), then you wont find this annoying. BUT if, like me, you pivot on your wrist, and your mousing field actually looks like, say, an ultrasound-shaped thing, then youll hate it despite its ergonomics.
