Mediocre goods, most likely I will not use.

In general, I bought this mouse (I wanted it with high-speed scrolling and wireless), and could not stand more than a week of torment due to this ill-conceived sensor placement. Without a twinge of conscience, I went and changed this "miracle" device. I had to abandon one of the main requirements - the absence of a wire. From fast scrolling, perhaps, I will never refuse - this is one of the best inventions of Logitech. Therefore, the choice also fell on Logitech (in terms of quality, they still have no equal), on the M500 model - wired. I thought about whether it is worth taking the Mx 620 model - also wireless, but its scrolling modes are switched on the back (bottom) side of the mouse - IMHO it's not convenient. Although in form - both comfortable ergonomic - are almost the same. But in 620, as it turned out, again, the laser sensor is foolishly located under the very little finger - again, the unpredictability of mouse behavior. As a result, the ability to quickly switch modes and the correct location of the sensor won - I took the M500. Very satisfied. Eh. If it were the same, but without a wire. Logitech! Hear me, I will be the first buyer of such a model! :)

Nevertheless - if it is not difficult for you to adapt to a non-standard curve of the sensor location - take it. In all other respects, the mouse is more than worthy. It is advisable to try it in work - can you get used to this illogical stupid location of the sensor?

Pros

The mouse is very well made. Logitech knows how to make quality things. The mouse is wireless - the wires on the table will not interfere. Wireless is provided by the new tiny Unifying receiver - first, as already mentioned, it is very small, probably the smallest on the market. Secondly, if you use/plan to purchase other Logitech wireless devices that support Unifying, you don't need to plug in separate mouse and keyboard receivers. One is enough. As far as I know, the receiver processes up to 6 devices simultaneously. In the hand, if the hand is not very large, it is very comfortable. Everything is in its place, additional buttons are easy to access. By right - one of the most comfortable mice in terms of grip. Batteries really last a very long time (according to the testimony of the Logitech SetPoint program) - in a week of use, the battery charge dipped by only 5 percent. High-speed scrolling is something incredible! One has only to try, and all other mice without such an opportunity seem inferior, and normal scrolling is terribly slow. High-speed scrolling is enabled by a separate button, which I consider an advantage. If you need fast scrolling, turn it on (and it is very useful when working on the Internet and editing and viewing documents). Need step-by-step scrolling, for example, in games or applications where special accuracy is important - turn on the normal mode with clicks. But to be honest, I completely forgot about it (about the normal mode), because there is no time for games, and in all other programs I use fast scrolling. At first, it’s even just fun to run this wheel back and forth. :) It can spin for 8 seconds without stopping! The hidden button under the thumb is very interesting. You can put any action you want on it. By default, it is responsible for a kind of Alt-Tab, only improved - all windows are reduced and arranged on the screen. Convenient and simple.

Cons

People with big hands will not like it. The price is still too high. One of the biggest drawbacks, which crosses out all the advantages, and for which the designers and engineers and designers of Logitech need to cut off their hands, is the location of the optical sensor. Yes, it's not that bad in terms of features. But why was it moved so close to the edge of the mouse, so far from the center? The sensor is located in the upper right (far) corner, under the little finger. Dear developers, have you tried using the M705 yourself?! I strongly advise you to do this before each release of other models. The behavior of a mouse with such a non-standard sensor location is simply unpredictable. If you have been working with mice with a normal sensor position for a long time - centered or at least not very offset - the control of this mouse will be a burden. You move the mouse to the side, and a little bit accidentally turned counterclockwise or clockwise by 1 degree - that's it, the cursor flew to the very top or the very bottom. I even hit a cross in Windows with difficulty :) Drawing something, processing photos with this non-thinking is just hard labor. I have not yet seen such solutions in any mouse. I think if they couldn’t technically stuff the sensor in the center, then it would be better if they built it not on the right, but to the left - closer to the thumb. So mouse control has become more intuitive, and the result is more predictable.
