A quality low cost BT mouse that will likely last
This is a nice low cost Bluetooth mouse - Logitech mice are always so much nicer than generic brands and built with a level of quality I've come to trust. Of note for this mouse is that it comes with a battery which is supposed to be good for a year. Also it has a power button where one press turns it on with a red LED to confirm, and another press turns it off without any indication - this is potentially better than previous generations which used a switch that gets worn down over time and becomes difficult to engage. Physically it is a compact mouse, but it is larger than the M317 or M325 and at least for me it is slightly less comfortable in the hand because of it. The tracking seems good. The scroll wheel has subtle physical detents as you scroll to provide feedback, like the M317. The buttons have a lighter click than the ones on the M317/M325, but still provides positive feedback. When paired with MS Windows, the battery level is also displayed. The mouse also pairs fine with an Android tablet, however it will only pair with one device at a time. Overall I this is a fine functional mouse and one I can recommend.

Worth the price for a Bluetooth mouse
It does exactly what it is supposed to do. The Bluetooth mouse doesn't use a USB port for the wireless dongle, so your USB ports are open to use for other peripherals. All modern laptops should come with a built-in Bluetooth interface. Some other website reviews say there is a lag, or it is slow to respond, and also that it is noisy. I don't have a lag problem with the pointer. The clicking of the buttons is loud compared to modern higher-priced mice, but it isn't louder than the original mice that were available in the 1980s. If you don't like loud clicking noise look for a different mouse. In a loud shop environment, it isn't noticeable. .
