Logitech Corded Mouse M500

Computer Mice Reviews

High-end mice in the Logitech range are often very expensive. The new M500 is a well-priced intermediary alternative. Not too expensive but with nice features. Three of these are particularly important: a laser sensor which means you don't need a mouse pad, the scroll with or without notches - for you to choose - and two buttons to facilate internet browsing. In fact this mouse is a development of a previous model, the MX400, a mouse we liked for its value for money. With the new scroll, this M500 is even better! First nice surprise: the materials used! You can't tell from the photo but the left and right hand sides of the mouse aren't in rigid plastic but rather in rubber. This allows you to get a really good grip on the mouse, though your fingers do sweat a little. On the top, the plastic isn't completely smooth but slightly grainy, which is something that we appreciate, handling-wise. A free scroll or with notches, your choice Although in the past, on some models, you activated this via the scroll itself, here Logitech has gone for a more economical solution: a button behind the scroll. If you don't know this feature, don't think it's a gadget: it's extremely practical and definitely a plus for Logitech over the competition.
