I joined my current company in Jan 2011 and the setup I was allocated included the M705. I have never had a good experience in the past with wireless mice as I found they were not accurate and the battery life was poor.

I have owned Logitech mice in the past and when I saw the Logitech Marathon Mouse M705 on sale for £28 in my local computer shop I decided to give it a go. I have seen them online for around £35, so I knew I were getting it at a good price.

Simple to install; effortless to use

If you are a light user you may find this too costly

Rarely do I bother doing reviews but as a long time computer user, this mouse is just brilliant. No issues with it, a pleasure to use and ridiculously long battery life, this thing lasts about a year on standard batteries.

I've been using the M705 mouse for a couple of months now and am very pleased with it's performance, except for one thing, the scrolling. I had to install the setpoint software to be able to use all of the features (this was not mentioned in the product literature, good thing I've done this before).

When I first bought this mouse I was skeptical. I don't like having to change batteries all the time. So, I bought this mouse and the solar keyboard. I have had this mouse for almost 4 years and haven't changed the first set of batteries.

Horrible. Think the sensor is not up to snuff. Use on high res monitor (24") may have exacerbated the issue. Caveat emptor-especially if used to higher DPI sensor mice.

Side buttons well situated for thumb use

Terrible tracking; Skipped/floated everywhere; Hard to hit links/buttons on screen; Size too small

This is an excellent mouse. I have one I keep at home, and I later bought the keyboard/mouse together to use at work. I don't find the mouse small... it's no smaller than my basic wired Microsoft mouse. It's ideal if your device is has more than one USB slot.

I like using it..; the tracking is smooth, and the connection once you plug in the receiver into the USB drive is instantaneous

None

The Logitech M705 is an excellent mouse - the shape fits very naturally into my hand. The best bit is the ability to spin the weighted scroll wheel, which allows you to rapidly move up or down long documents or webpages.

I have osteoarthritis in the hand and fingers, and a normal or small mouse left them stiff and painful after even short use. I can't use a vertical mouse, so was on the hunt for something which would position my hand more comfortably.

I like the feel and shape of this mouse. The forward and back buttons on the side are really useful, and the battery life is incredible. The USB receiver is tiny, which is great for laptop use.
