Logitech M560 Wireless Mouse

I bought this for friends, having used many mice over the years, and being asked for a decent quality piece of wireless kit that would work well and last a while. Nicely made, accurate, responsive and with a good feature set for it's cost, the M560 is a quality wireless mouse that makes it's batteries last for a very very long time. It's not a rechargeable type, but it cost less than half the price of most of those types, and having to change a couple of standard batteries every several months is hardly a hardship. The forward and back buttons on the side, intended for use by the thumb (only really right-hander friendly) are awesome for internet research sessions. On the other hand, if you don't like Logitech's speed scroll feature, the scroll wheel on this will annoy you. The mouse is not a full size gamers mouse, but a sort of mid-sized office and internet use device. It has very little weight to it's self, but once you have a couple of good quality batteries in it, it reaches a decent and usable weight. You really should install Logitech's own mouse drivers to get the most out of the mouse in general, tho this is not always apparent as it will give basic functionality as a plug & play device. All in all, a very good mouse for portable use (the reciever for it's wireless reciever is of the "unified" type and so is very small - perfect for laptops) and for users that are not going to need a mouse to use for long intense gaming sessions. Competitively priced with other quality wireless mice.

I was slightly surprised with the size and weight of the mouse. Slightly bigger and lighter than expected but comfortable to handle for long periods of time and works fine with my Windows 8 notepad. Installation took no more than a couple of minutes; plug the wireless receiver into an available USB port, wait for a couple of minutes, switch the mouse 'on' and that's it. Effortless. Receiver sits almost flush to the keyboard and doesn't get in the way. Buttons are firm not flimsy and nicely placed for easy usage. I would advise you press down quite hard on the middle button if you want a smooth 'scroll' through long documents. It can feel a little 'bumpy' otherwise Requires 1 x AAA battery, included, and comes with user instructions plus 3 year manufacturer's guarantee. Logitech provide product support and their website is worth a visit for updates and further info. Happy to recommend.

Quick delivery and a great purchase, well done me! But honestly, Logitech has done a great job making a nice mouse. I have looking for a normal size wireless mouse and decided to splash out. On Amazon it is around £10 cheaper than Logitech's own website, P&P not included. This mouse support Unify, where you only need one bluetooth dongle to attached multiple devices, I have got a keyboard and this mouse attached. Decent grip, nice rubberish feel to it. It took me couple of days to get used to this mouse. I have been using it for about 1 week so far I am quite happy with it. So far no negatives.

Even though expensive, this is a good mouse, sturdy, well made, no rattling sounds, and the scroll wheel has two physical modes of turning: either super smooth scroll so you can roll it really fast to scroll down pages, or stepped roll motion, so you can control the scrolling click by click. There are other mice in the region of £12 but I would not bother with all those cheap unknown makes again as I bought three, two broke down within two weeks (double clicking on their own) and the last one broke 4 months in, the scroll wheel does not click turn anymore. So you may think you are saving money and £30-35 sounds a lot for a mouse but the only realistic options are the microsoft wireless series which are well made but have a horribly smooth wheel, or this one. Update 18/9/2017 I have bought and used two of these mice and both have failed in the same way indicating a design/manufacturing fault. After some use, typically the right mouse button will start failing to click, and it will require a harder press, until it is so pronounced that the button is broken. Eventually the same fate will befall the left button. On inspection of both broken mice it appears that the micro switches inside the mouse, even though plastic, have cut a dent, a groove, on the plastic tab which is what you press down on and what makes contact with the switch. As a result of this groove the micro switch cannot be depressed any more. I have repaired both mice by dropping a tiny amount of superglue so as to bridge this groove and restore the tab. However this method also fails after a while, and all this opening and closing the mouse has left the top rather loose and rattling. I am very disappointed that such an expensive mouse has such a basic fault that renders it unusable after a while. I have had two such mice failing in the exact same way, and one was not used by me.

Big disappointment, the wheel is too cumbersome and stiff to use. Side switching is hard and not positive. I like to program the wheel to double click but the software doesn't offer this as an option. The action of pressing down the wheel is much harder than other Logitech mice. M560 was specially designed for Windows 8. The M510 mouse is already Windows 8 friendly, simple and easy to use. My wife destroyed the packaging for the M560 mouse before I had tried it. So I'm stuck with it! In my opinion the M510 is still the best mouse that Logitech produce. I am not blaming the supplier or complaining about the delivery and service. Which was as good as I have learned to expect from Amazon. I just wonder why Logitech tried to fix something that wasn't broken.

Love this mouse, I use it daily with a laptop. The size of it fits perfectly in your hand and it has a small place to put the USB dongle when it's not in use - though the dongle is so small you don't notice it on a large laptop! Buttons have a nice click to them and are mapped using their software, forward & back are very useful and the middle button being mapped to the start menu has grown on me. Mapping the left and right scroll to be the usual scroll press solves the lack of the usual button, which is used to switch the scroll type to be smooth or not

Good build as is the norm with Logitech. Roller scroll function is novel and works well. One issue is that the L&R buttons can be clicked by, for example, accidentally moving the mouse and touching your keyboard or a book on your desk. I stopped using the mouse for this reason and keep it as a spare.

It's an improvement on the old version because of the free scrolling wheel and a separate middle mouse button, so day to use is a better experience but the build quality feels cheaper. Had it for 4 months, works perfectly but the perceived quality is less and that's why I take one star away, other than that perfect.

Wer eine Maus sucht, mit der man sowohl präzise, als auch schnell (und leise) durch größere Bereiche scrollen kann, kommt kaum an einer Maus mit auskoppelbarem Rad vorbei. Logitech bot und bietet einige Modelle mit auskoppelbarem Metallrad an. Aus- und eingekoppelt wird der Rast-/Ratschmechanismus durch Druck aufs Rad. Ausgekoppelt kann man das Metallrad anschieben und laufen lassen. Der Kursor rast dann durch die Seiten, bis man das Rad wieder bremst oder der Schwung weg ist. Und das ist nahezu geräuschlos, was eienem die Kollegen am Nachbartisch danken. Die Funktion ist ohne Tadel. Man spart Zeit und Nerven, weil nichts mehr unnötig ratscht. Und wenn es präzise sein soll, geht es mit einem Druck aufs Rad auch wieder zur Rastfunktion und bei Bedarf zurück. Die Genauigkeit ist für Office und Bildbearbeitung ausreichend. Sehr angenehm ist, dass man fast auf allen Oberflächen normal arbeiten kann.

Che dire: è il secondo M560 che acquisto. Il primo nero, secondo bianco. Logitec è insuperabile per qualità, precisione e durata batterie (3 anni!). Per niente "plasticoso", lo considero un mouse per uso professionale ed io sul web ci lavoro da sempre. Dovesse rompersi, lo riacquisteri nuovamente senza la minima esitazione.

Cette souris est bien adaptée pour des mains de femme qui sont généralement plus petites que celles des hommes.De plus ayant des soucis de syndrome de canal carpien, le positionnement de la main et du poignet ne me font pas souffrir car elle n'est pas trop volumineuse ni trop haute. Le poignet n'est pas "cassé". Elle est donc légère et glisse facilement pour apporter de la fluidité dans son utilisation. Le défilement par la molette en roue libre est très pratique lorsqu'on veut accéder au bas des pages rapidement. Elle est débrayable cran par cran pour plus de précisions. Je l'utilise depuis 7 mois et je n'ai toujours pas changé les piles malgré une utilisation de plusieurs heures par jour. En résumé, je la recommande pour les femmes ou jeunes personnes car à ce prix elle est très compétitive.

Consegna nei tempi indicati, imballo adeguato. Dopo un’esperienza negativa con un mouse Wireless HP (di fascia decisamente economica) ero molto scettico a riutilizzare questi oggetti, ma ci ho riprovato per esigenze lavorative i mouse Wired mi risultano scomodi. Il prodotto si presenta bene, è elegante (a mio parere) con plastiche di buona fattura. Si alimenta con una sola batteria da 1,5 volt questo lo rende leggero, ergonomicamente è valido, si impugna bene, la parte superiore è tutta d’un pezzo, non c’è la solita divisione per gli interruttori sinistro/destro. Sulla rotella è possibile impostare con una semplice pressione la modalità silenziosa, le pagine scorrono fluide senza udire rumori ma io preferisco sentire sotto le dita gli scattini che causano lo scroll dello schermo. Lateralmente ha due comodi tasti, uno ti riduce tutte le applicazione a icona riportandoti sul desktop del PC (Windows), l’altro apre il menu start. C’è un piccolo interruttore sotto che permette di spegnerlo se non utilizzato con un LED verde che indica l’accensione. Il sistema di puntamento non è luminoso, funziona egregiamente su tutte le superfici.

El ratón es perfecto para un uso normal de ofimática. Es de tamaño normal, lo que hace que la mano se acomode fácilmente, aunque va con pila AA, el consumo es muy bajo y dura muchísimo. Además puedes usar la conexión Wireless en vez del adaptador bluetooth que es un trasto mas a llevar con tu portátil. Muy buena compra, como siempre con esta marca.
