Packaging

Typical Logitech product packaging, simple and straight forward. Premium Logitech devices have different packaging though.

Product information at the back of the box. If you ever opened a fully plastic sealed enclosure, you'll understand how troublesome the process is. However, Logitech's packaging has two openings at both top corners. It makes unboxing even easier.

Plug and forget nano receiver. Losing this renders the mouse useless, I'm not sure if there's replacement receiver for sale.

Standard button layout for a mouse, without extra buttons. The buttons works perfectly well, and the rubberized scroll wheel feels just right. Middle click requires a little extra force.

Bottom of the mouse. The mouse would automatically go into standby mode or "sleep mode" if it is left unattended for a few minutes. Don't have to worry of the battery life if you ever forgot to switch it off. The mouse also supports Logitech's Unifying technology where multiple Logitech wireless devices connects to only one Unifying receiver, effectively utilizing the USB port.

Battery Removed. AAA battery is surely lighter than the AA battery, but higher cost. Well well...

There's a tiny slot beside the battery housing to keep the nano receiver. Portability without the fear of losing the nano receiver.

Conclusion

Pros:
  • Light weight (compared to other wireless mouse)
  • Smooth pointing
  • Portable
  • Nano Receiver housing
  • Bang for the buck


Subjective:
  • Small-mid sized (might not fit large hands)
  • Slightly heavier than wired mouse (need some time to get used to)


Cons:
  • The battery weight about the same as the mouse itself (AAA battery could be lighter, but higher cost.)


Looking for a wireless mouse for cheap? You won't go wrong with Logitech M185. It's your call whether to spend RM40 in long run or buy multiple RM20 *chapalang wireless mouse.
