Logitech Wireless Mouse M310 Dark Aces

Comment

I have been using a Logitech wireless mouse for years. One day when I went to use the computer, the mouse was gone. The cat had made it disappear into that other dimension where cat toys go. Of course, I got a new Logitech wireless mouse. This one has a smaller USB plug. It is small enough that it can be stored inside the mouse next to the battery. It feels lighter than my old mouse. It preforms well. The price is good. I will have to keep this one away from the feline.

I have yet to actually use one of these, so I cannot yet comment on functionality or reliability. Thus, I am choosing a "neutral" three-star rating for the time being. However, I wanted to share a photo showing that the M185 mouse is NOT what I would call a "full size" mouse. Rather, it is slightly smaller. Heres a photo comparing it to a Logitech M310, a basic wireless mouse that I do consider to be a full size mouse, and also a Logitech M325, a "mini" laptop mouse. As you can see, the M185 is the same approximate width and height as the full-size M310, but is about 3/4 of an inch or so shorter. Its still larger than the M325 mini laptop mouse, but anyone who orders the M185 expecting a truly full-size mouse...like I was...may be a little disappointed.

I used this mouse for about 7-8 years (fairly intense daily use) before finally needing a replacement. Every few years, the left mouse clicker will lose recoil, so that when you single click it starts to read it as a double click. There is a relatively simple fix for this easily searchable on the internet. You have to take it apart, but thats doable if you are even moderately handy. I performed it once a few years ago and it worked like a charm. Then recently I tried to perform it again, and accidentally broke the little metal piece. So I bought a new one and am happy again. Hoping for another 7-8 years. I may order a backup at some point in case this model ever goes out of production.

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.

Does not work at all and they won’t take it back or refund my money!!!!!! We buy a heck of a lot of stuff from Amazon. What a crap way to treat customers.

This particular Logitech wireless mouse works great. It is lightweight, has rubbery grips on each side, slides nicely, and is the correct size. The scroll wheel works smoothly as well. It has a nice little storage slot for the USB receiver. So, if you are going to use this for a laptop or tablet, the mouse becomes very portable; harder to lose the USB receiver. I have three of these, two for PCs (work and home office) and one for my laptop. Its nice to have the same mouse for all devices. I would recommend for anyone in search of a wireless mouse. My mom has the smaller version of this mouse, and she likes it as well. The smaller version seems to be ideal for those with smaller hands.

Like many others, Ive struggled with wireless mice for years... bad tracking, signal drop, uncomfortable to use, short battery life. Im DONE with all that, lol. For the past three years I have used (and gotten for others) the M510 and the M310 mice, and they always ALWAYS work. I use the bigger M510 for my desktops at home and work, and the M310 for my laptop. Heres the thing about the M310: its that perfect intermediate-sized mouse thats still very usable even with bigger hefty hands like mine. Some mobile mice are just too small, but not this one. For people with small hands (my wife whos 53" and barely over 100lbs) this is the perfect everything mouse, mobile or desktop. I understand we need stuff smaller for traveling but some of those mobile mice are like miniatures and thats just counterproductive. Also, the tracking is by far the best Ive used (and Ive argued with a lot of different Microsoft wireless mice in my day). I honestly think the Logitech mice could track on a slice of pizza, lol. Connection is the best, truly plug-n-play, at least on Win 7 & 8.1, not sure how Mac folks get this running. Just make sure you use the USB port thats closest to your mouse, whether that be back of PC or top of case, etc. For the price and with Amazons amazing return policy, give this mouse a whirl, you wont be disappointed. For me its M510 for desktop and M310 for mobile, hands down. But I do use the M310 on some desktops, such as the recording PC at church in the sound booth where space it tight, and its great. If I was asked to vote for one mouse on earth that would satisfy mostly everyone, the M310 would be it.

Works well with my Laptop. The rubber sides, keep it firmly in your hand. I have neuropathy in my hands, and tend to drop things easily, but not this mouse. The on and off buttons, on almost all of the wireless mice Ive used, arent always easy to tell if I have it turned on properly. However, an added plus for this mouse is that it has a green light that comes on to show its power is on, when you first activate it. Buttons click firmly, and rotation of the wheel can be felt easily too. I hope it lasts as long as the last Logitech Wireless Mouse I got. I still have the old one, its just used on another Laptop.

Surprisingly, because some of their gadgets can be on the pricey end (also known as the high end), Logitech has become an industry leader for to inexpensive mice, computer speakers and keyboards. Not surprisingly, when it comes to Logitech gadgets, quality stays high even at the less expensive low end. The M310s are some of the prettiest no frills wireless mice you can buy and they perform well too. And, calling them no frills may not be entirely fair because these mice, besides being pretty - and at the time of this review Logitech had five colors/patterns styles - they are also good mice and I am in fact planning to keep using my Red Tendrils as my office mouse. Very briefly, this is what the M310s have going for them: - EASE OF INSTALLATION - On purpose, I attempted to set up my mouse without looking at the manual, a folded, English/Spanish/French Getting started with sheet. 3 minutes later I was using my new mouse. Everything was quick and easy, beginning with the Easy Open tab that allowed me to quickly take the mouse out of the bullet-proof plastic enclosure and do it without heavy-duty shears. Installation goes like this: insert the supplied AA battery into the mouse body, plug the small nano receiver into a USB port... THE END. You are ready to use the mouse. Or so it went on my Windows 7 laptop. By the way, I plugged it into a docking station USB port and it worked without a problem. - SIMPLICITY - This is the mouse for the rest of us. Theres no need to install anything from Web sites or discs and the buttons are down to the minimum: left button, right button and a clickable scrolling wheel. And there is an on-off button on the bottom but you dont need to worry about that because the mouse will turn itself off when not used for a while. And, THERE IS NO MANUAL, because theres no need for one. - EFFICIENT, INNOVATIVE - There are quite a few power-saving features that should allow the mouse to operate for up to 12 months on one AA battery, or so Logitech claims. Besides the auto-off feature, there are no LEDs and the laser seems to be a very low power one because no visible light is emitted. The nano style receiver becomes almost invisible once plugged into a USB port. This is a very good thing, especially if you are using this with a laptop or a Netbook. - DESIGN, ERGONOMICS - The M310 is a lot more than a pretty face but being pretty does not hurt. Sure you can pick the silver style but if violet or blue or the more flamboyant red tendrils or big top stripes match your environment and your lifestyle, you can get one. The symmetric shape ensures that the mouse can be operated with ease either right or left-handed. Buttons can be swapped and some customization is available with Logitechs SetPoint 6.1 software installed (see note). This is a medium size mouse with a comfortable shape. The rubberized sides allow for an easy, comfortable grip. - SPECS - I only used the M310 on a Windows 7 but Logitech claims that it should also work on XP, Vista and MacOS X 10.4 or later. As I mentioned already, a USB port is needed. What you get for you money is the mouse, the nano receiver, one AA battery and the quick setup guide (not really needed). Logitech promises a 3-year limited warranty with the emphasis on limited. - EVALUATION - I am very happy with this mouse and anyone who wants a basic mouse should be happy with it. Following a few weeks of use, I was unable to detect any shortcomings. I am compelled to rate the M310 a 5-star. ______________________________________ Note: Even though I couldnt find any reference in the supplied documentation, some customization is possible via SetPoint 6.1 which can be downloaded from Logitech - search for M310, select your operating system and you should be able to download the software. Once installed, SetPoint will allow you to: - swap right/left buttons - assign specific functions to the middle button/wheel - configure the scrolling size - control pointer speed/acceleration - check battery status - enable game mode These are all nice things but I was happy with the defaults. Left-handed users may WANT to download SetPoint.

(Pros) Easy to grip for high levels of control while gaming or doing photo editing. Rubber sides are a nice anti-slip texture. No side buttons near the thumb to accidentally click. (I dont need extra buttons, so this is a big win for me). Longer, narrower form factor that fits well in a narrow hand while still supporting the palm of the hand. Many other mice are designed for large hands shaped more like huge paws, or theyre so small only your fingertips rest on them. (Both designs lead to hand fatigue in the wrong hand). Micro receiver dongle that stores inside the battery compartment. My previous similar model Logitech mouse had a big USB receiver you could easily misplace.(Hence replacing it!) Only takes one battery, vs the old Logitech versions two. This means its more energy efficient and lighter in weight. Does not feel flimsy. Quiet mouse wheel and clicking. Does not sound like a cheap $5.00 mouse, but it is much less expensive than the "twin" model of mouse this replaces. (Cons) None yet.
