Computer mice are not what they used to be. The first Logitech mouse I ever bought, lasted for years, and I only replaced it because the rubber pads on the sides were coming loose and I just wanted a change. It still worked. Generally speaking I only replace my computer mice when I get tired of the design or color, or I want a new mouse to go with a new laptop. Although my latest laptop has a much user-friendly mousepad than my laptops, I just find a separate mouse easier to use. I occasionally play video games that use a mouse to point and click and it's just easier to have a separate mouse, especially since I switched from a touchscreen to a standard screen. I'm cheap so I bought a cheap mouse (don't remember the brand) and managed to kill it under a month. Bought a Logitech, a very pretty, stream-lined mini mouse that was also cheap and looked flimsier than any I had before. It lasted about 2 months, and would have probably been fine to just use as a basic mouse and not subject it to repeated rapid clicks. I decided to upgrade to an actual gaming mouse, but while I was waiting for it to arrive, I ordered the Logitech M220 wireless mouse I'm reviewing now, on a pickup order, because I really NEEDED a mouse to do some computer related tasks that required some precision I was unable to achieve with the built-in mouse pad. So far, it's done very well. I've played a few short games on it, but basically just use it for non-gaming functions. Is it "soundless". I guess you can hear a mild click. This is fine with me, because if it had no click at all, I would be the type of person to keep clicking and end up with 12 open windows. I love the pretty lilac color. That was a plus. The mouse is lightweight and fits neatly in my hand, and it moves around very easily on the desk or even on the bed (even without using a mat). It's a good thing I bought it because Amazon sent me an old dirty used mouse instead of the one I ordered and then was going to not replace it or give me a refund. Since I don't want to turn this review into how Amazon makes it really difficult to contact actual humans and correct mistakes THEY made, just say that they finally said I could send back the wrong mouse for a refund. To my Amazon account, so I can't use the money and buy the mouse elsewhere. Only now I can't afford the mouse I had intended to buy, and have to wait until my next check or for the price to go back down. Meanwhile, I'm actually thinking of just getting one more Logitech M220 as a back-up in a different color except Walmart seems to have the different colors under different listings. Anyway, so far so good.
