Logitech M196 Bluetooth Wireless Mouse, Compact and Portable Mouse for Laptops, Tablets and More, 12-Month Battery, Off-white

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mouse is packaged in an easy-to-open cardboard box and protected in a small paper bag. It's made partly from recycled materials and has a battery life of up to 12 months. This is a big plus in terms of sustainability and a great success at this price point. The mouse connected instantly to my Mac, with no troublesome receivers that are easily lost or protrude from the USB-C port. After a few settings adjustments, I found the mouse to be as responsive as expected. It's also extremely comfortable to use. The higher curve position helps relax the wrist, and the four small feet on the underside reduce friction on surfaces, so I can use it directly on the desktop without a mouse pad. If you like a crisp click, this mouse has a clear and crisp sound. The middle mouse button clicks when you scroll it, but pressing down doesn't allow it to rotate freely, so you'll have to accept this feedback. Overall, this is a great mouse, with a simple and elegant design, at a price point where you don't need to be too picky. With a 12-month battery life and replaceable AA batteries, you won't need to carry any extra charging cables.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Logitech M196 because I needed a true Bluetooth wireless mouse that didn't require a USB dongle, and it has exceeded my expectations. It paired with my tablet in about five seconds and worked immediately with no setup issues. The connection has been stable and smooth, with accurate tracking and responsive clicks. I love how compact and portable it is—it travels everywhere with me—yet it feels comfortable in my hand and is about the same size as a standard mouse. Not having wires or extra parts to keep track of makes it incredibly convenient for on-the-go use. Even the right-click functions work exactly as they should on my tablet, just like using a regular PC mouse. No noise - Battery life has been excellent so far, and overall it feels reliable and well made. I'm so impressed that I plan to purchase a second one as a backup or for another device. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a simple, dependable Bluetooth mouse. I highly recommended!!
