Logitech M317 Wireless Mouse Red

ot of computer tech peoole know that Logitech is one of the names that stands out if youre looking for a mouse, keyboard or other similar computer accesories that have great quality and functionality. This M317 mouse is no exception. I purchased this mouse to use with my netbook, which is already on the compact size. The design is small and works well for me and my hands are slightly larger than average. A bonus to this mouse is the very slim USB receiver that is barely noticed on the side of my netbook. The wireless and optical options have functioned flawlessly on my glass desktop, wood, laminant countertops with or without a mouse pad. I mostly use a mouse pad so I have a cushion under my wrist. But you dont have to worry about functionality being on the go, it ... Moreot of computer tech peoole know that Logitech is one of the names that stands out if youre looking for a mouse, keyboard or other similar computer accesories that have great quality and functionality.

This Logitech M317 Lady of the Lily wireless mouse is my go to mouse, but in many different designs and colors. The only thing I’d do different with this mouse, is to have a sensor on it that does an auto shut off when not touched for a certain time. I am always forgetting to turn it off. It still stays charged for a long time, even with me forgetting to turn it off. It works on an array of surfaces. It glides smoothly and is pretty accurate out of the package. I don’t ever remember having to calibrate it at all. I’d recommend this mouse in a heartbeat.

Cute but no lights

I like the small mice made by Logitech. My last one lasted for years! I at first thought this one wasn’t working as there are no lights to show it is on and no red laser underneath like my last one but plugged in to my laptop and works great. Nice and comfortable and responsive and a cute design too.

Decent enough for the money

Got this to replace my battery guzzling Microsoft 3500 wireless mouse. It took a while to get my laptop to first realize that it was in the USB slot and then to actually recognize it (was not listed as Logitech mouse under devices). No instructions for driver installation, only a sheet of stickers (a waste if you ask me). Tried installing the "recommended" software from Logitech's site and was told to download MORE software since the "recommended" software claimed that the mouse was not supported by the software. It appears you have to download BOTH Logitech Setpoint and Logitech Options software to get windows to accurately list this mouse. So far no connectivity problems like some reviewers have experienced once I got it to connect. And unlike my Microsoft mouse I ... MoreGot this to replace my battery guzzling Microsoft 3500 wireless mouse.

And unlike my Microsoft mouse I haven't had to change the battery yet (Microsoft mice make you change batteries every few days) Will adjust rating should I run into any issues; I've only had it for about a little over a week now.

Excellent Mouse

What can I say? I just love this mouse, the design, the way it ergonomically fits your hand, and the fluidity of the cursor. I can go on and on. I noticed with other models and brands that my hand tends to cramp with extended usage, but I have no issues with this mouse. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I love this mouse!

I love this mouse and I am using it now as I write this review. It's nice looking and matches my laptop. It works great. I have dropped it repeatedly and it still keeps working. The buttons are easy to use and so is the scroll wheel. I like it so much I bought another one so when this one goes I will have a back up.

I use this mouse and a Logitech wireless keyboard in my classroom so I can remotely control my computer when it’s hooked up to the smartboard. It installs itself as soon as it’s plugged into the computer and is ready to use within seconds. The mouse works well even when it’s all the way across my classroom, about 30 or 40 feet away! Occasionally I have trouble when using it on the tables in my classroom which are a very shiny surface (the tables are whiteboards), but I think that would be the case with any optical mice. This mouse comes with a unifying receiver, so I only need one receiver for both my mouse and keyboard. Setting up the universal receiver was also very easy!

I was researching good wireless mice for my younger kids since we’ve been doing distance learning. I knew they needed something smaller to fit their hands (I have a 5 year old and 7 year old who are both a little smaller than average) so I looked up a bunch of mice and took measurements and compared them to the measurements of their palms. I wanted wireless mice for them to avoid having so many cords. After researching, I found that the Logitech Doodle mice (and I think the others that are M series mice) were the perfect size for school aged kids. They are ergonomic and have good grip on the sides. They are also lightweight and glide very nicely without any additional skates. My 7 year old is left handed, so these mice could be used comfortably with your left hand ... MoreI was researching good wireless mice for my younger kids since we’ve been doing distance learning.

My 7 year old is left handed, so these mice could be used comfortably with your left hand or right hand. They are plug and play with using the little usb dongle provided and they came with a battery. Easy to turn on and off with the switch underneath and we haven’t had any connectivity issues even when used with a wireless keyboard. Very happy with this purchase..can’t go wrong with Logitech!

M317c, not M317. Not compatible with Logitech Unifying receiver.

I bought this item as a second mouse to keep in my laptop bag so I wouldn't keep forgetting to take a mouse with me. The item description clearly states that this is an M317 that is compatible with the Logitech Unifying receiver, which is what I wanted as my current mouse also is compatible with the receiver, meaning I could use the same USB dongle for both. This mouse is not an M317; it is an M317c. The difference is that contrary to the item description, this mouse is not compatible with the Logitech Unifying receiver. I will be returning this item.

Not Like Previous Logitechs I've owned

Over the past 8-10 years, I have gone through a couple of Logitech mice. They put up with being knocked onto the hard floor several times a week and the last couple didn't even have the battery cover pop off when that happened. Well, maybe once or twice it did- but not like the early ones that popped each time and often resulted in the battery coming out. Naturally, it would then roll under something making it difficult to retrieve. Oh the woes of being a klutz!Speaking of battery, these guys go a very, very long time on a single AA battery. Even when the light switches to red (indicator that your battery needs to be changed) I still get at least another week before the battery finally dies. And I rarely turn the mouse off.

Even when the light switches to red (indicator that your battery needs to be changed) I still get at least another week before the battery finally dies. And I rarely turn the mouse off. It shuts down after prolonged sitting, so it really isn't all that important to turn it off. I finally throw them out when they quit working or when I have abused them to the point they look terrible. So, whenthis Stars and Stripes mouse grabbed my attention while shopping for office supplies, and the price was right, I figured it was time to replace the poor grimy mouse I was using. What I didn't realize was that there is actually a difference in the model numbers. I suppose my thought was that since the price was the same, the features would be as well. I was wrong. This mouse is just a cute as it looks on the computer screen, but I despise it. The scroller wheel is so stiff, (and slow), it does not toggle right/left, and the shape is just a little different so that I find my grip is not as secure as I would like as well as my fingers feel fatigued after a time. I've decided this was not a good choice for me and have made sure my replacement mouse is a M325 model. If you are looking for something completely new and not trying to replicate one you are accustomed to, this mouse might be great for you. It wasn't for me though.
