Some good things about the mouse are battery life and the small transmitter that can also be used for a wireless keyboard as well. I've noticed a huge improvement in battery life over the old Logitech mouse I had. Such a difference, the savings in batteries over the life of the mouse will easily pay for the initial cost of the mouse and then some. It also has an on/off switch on the mouse to save the batteries even longer. What I don't care for is the scrolling wheel. It didn't last very long on my old Logitech mouse, and this mouse has a wheel that feels it will last even a shorter period of time. The position of the forward and back buttons, relative to where the hand naturally holds the mouse, is too far forward. It's like I have to position my hand more towards the rear of the mouse to use the scroll wheel, but then must move the hand more forward to use the forward and back buttons on the side. Also wish the rolled edge around the mouse had more of a radius to it for better comfort. Perhaps it is just me and the size of my hand, relative to the mouse. Overall, it is a basic OK mouse. It's strongest feature is battery life, which is precisely why I decided to purchase it. I would say it is worth the cost, but don't think anyone will be excited over the mouse regarding comfort or ease of use. There are much better ones on the market in that regard. Still happy with my purchase, however.Read full review

This mouse feels really good, and the right and left click are sweet and tight. BUT...the scroll wheel is not smooth and I was not able to find a way to set the side buttons to do anything. I downloaded everything Logitech had on the internet, but their software is USELESS. I really needed the functionality of the side buttons for use in AutoCAD, so I had to go back to my limping, obsolete Microsoft Mouse.

My old wireless mouse came with a large USB adapter, not the Unifying Receiver. It became a nervous mouse and hard to control. I'm not sure if some other wireless device was interfering with it, but I didn't want to go back to a wired mouse. The sale on the M510 made the decision easy. Why not try an updated, but inexpensive mouse. It works great. I like the feature that you can program the buttons. The wheel depressed brings up the Windows menu, while one of the side buttons is the enter key. Thus, just clicking the button is the same as moving the mouse to the "OK" icon and depressing the left mouse button. If "OK" is the default, I don't have to move the mouse ponter, just click the side button programmed as "Enter".....Nice!

I picked up one of these mice for my laptop years ago. It has outlasted that laptop and is a few years into everyday use with a portable tablet PC, and is still going strong. I recently bought another one (used) for my desktop. It works great, and battery life is outstanding. I change batteries about every two years just to make sure they don't leave me stranded or leak inside the mouse, but I've never actually had the batteries go dead in a 510 mouse. Buttons all work great, scrolls well -- and the side thumb buttons are the best thing in the universe, when programmed to copy (front) and paste (rear). (Use X Button Mouse Control free software to set the button functions if your OS doesn't let you.) I hope Logitech keeps making this mouse forever.

I have a couple of these mice and they are very comfortable in the hand, pointer control is smooth, the buttons and scroll wheel work well, and battery life is good. Logitech is my wireless input device brand of choice because of the Unifying Receiver (look for the orange asterisk logo). You can easily connect up to six devices to a single receiver. This is handy when using both a wireless mouse and keyboard because you only need to occupy one USB port for both. Also, if you happen to lose the receiver, you don't have to toss out the device(s) paired with it. Just get another USB receiver and pair them again with the Logitech Unifying Software. Linux users can install an application called Solaar for the same functionality.
