Logitech Wireless Mouse M185 (Swift Grey)

I purchase IT items for a small company. Over the last few years I have bought 11 of these mice for our CAD users. Our CAD users want a full size mouse and this fits the bill. They work well. However, one thing I have to warn you about. If you are a heavy user of the middle mouse button (not the wheel but actually pressing the button), the switch on the middle mouse button has a tendency to fail so pressing it will no longer do anything. 7 of the 11 failed in this way, usually between 6 - 24 months of use. Our CAD users press the middle mouse button hundreds of times a day so if you dont expect to be doing that you should be fine.

I have two of these I use for gaming. I tried fancier, more expensive ones with gaming buttons and special ergonomic design, but they caused fatigue and flared up my tendonitis. This simple, cheap one, surprisingly is easy on the hand. I play a mmorpg for hours daily, 12+ hrs at a time on the weekends, and this does not aggravate my tendonitis at all. Also, it is very responsive. I was concerned that the cordless feature would result in response lag, but I have not had any issues with that at all. It is just like a corded mouse (I still win all my guilds battle bids every week, even with hot competition :D). I have another cordless mouse with a similar style from a different company and I dont use it because it has response lag. I never have an issue with the Logitech ones. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because this particular one that I got from Amazon has a battery seating issue. The battery does not stay in place well, so in the middle of a battle, my battery will shift and my mouse loses power D: I have the same model in red that I bought elsewhere, and it does not have this problem. It may just be a defect of the one I have. Simple solution - tape the battery in place xD. Another reason I give it 4 instead of 5 is that it does not have auto-off like another cordless model that I have. That is a very nice feature that would make this model pretty much perfect.
