Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cozy; a few minor annoyances

I bought this mouse when I needed a replacement and since I already had a Logitech ergonomic keyboard I foolishly assumed they would work together. The mouse itself feels nice and works as it should, however I have a few admittedly minor flaws that I can't give it all five stars. Specifically: The USB adapter that came with the mouse does not work with the Logitech keyboard and vice versa. I was hoping to free up one of my tight USB slots, so I was disappointed. Other vendors like HP Inc. make their USB dongles work with both keyboard and mouse, so I was a little surprised Logitech didn't. "Back" and "Forward" commands on the site. I can imagine it could be useful, but I find it too easy to accidentally tap them and my screen keeps changing unexpectedly. o I don't know if this is a feature or a bug, but whenever I let go of the mouse to use the keyboard for example, the active screen automatically scrolls up a few inches. When I'm working on a document and constantly switching between mouse and keyboard, it can be annoying.

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • some flaws
