Review on Logitech M317 Wireless Mouse with Unifying Receiver – Black: Enhanced Connectivity and Versatile Performance by Greg Bloom

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Jumps and works intermittently making it almost useless

Bought to replace my old orange Logitech mouse which looks and works the same and has given me great 4-5 years of trouble free use. But with it, the movement of the screen pointer is jerky and periodically stops working. Updating drivers and trying on a different computer didn't fix the issue, although my laptop twitched less. After a lot of digging, I found out that this thing has a unifying receiver and EMI problem because it's too close to electronic parts, doesn't work with USB 3.0, and that changing the USB ports should sometimes solve the problem. What's so good about that? It is designed to be connected to computers, so electromagnetic interference naturally occurs. Of course, none of the 8 USB ports on my computer work properly. My old now broken Logitech mouse with unifying receiver worked great. Did they run quality control tests?

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Nothing
