Logitech M535 Bluetooth Wireless Mouse - Compact Ergonomic Design, 10-Month Battery Life, Compatible with Windows, Mac, Chrome OS & Android Devices - Perfect for Office, Home & Travel Use

Updated ...Absolutely LOVE the Logitech M535 / M720 mouse as there is no other like it. It's USBless, meaning you do not have to take up a USB port using an USB bluetooth adapter for the mouse, simply connects to your Bluetooth enabled (built in, newer) desktop, laptop and tablet. Have the M535 connected to my (newer) devices, Laptop Dell Inspiron Ryzen 5 cpu and Fire 10 tablet, no hitches / clitches whatsoever. As with all Logitech mouses, they are quite hi-tech, completely customizable, configurable and quite sturdy, inspite of other reviews found herein.By the way, I loved the M535 so much, I even purchased the M720 … so, this review is for both:Now as for all the neanderthals that don't know much about Logitech's hi-tech mouses, or in using it, here are some tips:Step 1: go to Logitech's website, located on the package that comes with your mouse- Register it- see ... logitech download m535 / m720 (fill in com and /) for software needed for your mouse- see ... logitech support m535 / m720 (fill in com and /) for PDF fileStep 2: download, PDF file for your mouseStep 3: Install Logitech's software that enables customization / configuration of ALL the functions on the mouseLogitech's mouse IS NOT flimsy at all!!! In fact, built quite sturdy. The scroll wheel MAY appear flimsy but is built that way as not only does it scroll UP and DOWN, but moves sideways (left and right) as well (to go to Previous / Forward web page, tabs); and can be PRESSED DOWN for auto scrolling - that is why the scroll wheel may appear flimsy, it's built like that for multi usages.Again, Register your Logitech and download and READ the PDF, then install the software that customizes your mouse. Then these neanderthals that complain will finally be in the 21st century! (I'm ASSuMIng the neanderthal can Read & Discern properly!)TABLET: mouse operates as a tablet, not as Microsoft system mouse, meaning there is NO Right Click, NO Double Clicking. You simply use the mouse as if you're using your finger on tablet, doing Single Click, Long Press, etc; hence a Tablet Mouse in use.When using Logitech mouse on multi devices, you do have to Re-Pair it each time as you switch devices (see BELOW for "Restoring"), takes less than 2 min. (Remove M535 from device (Laptop / Tablet); Activate Bluetooth on mouse; Select: Find New Bluetooth on device (Laptop / Tablet))LOGITECH M535 / M720 MOUSE - Restoring- Reboot (Microsoft) System (may / may not be necessary)- Remove Battery from mouse for up to 10 min- In Microsoft Windows, go into SETTINGS then SYSTEM, then DEVICE mode- Activate BLUETOOTH detection mode- Turn ON mouse then insert battery (in that order)- Check / Recheck BLUETOOTH mode for device detectionYou're good to go!!!UPDATE: Occasionally, I do have problems with Re-Pairing (see above solution that works), don't know why LOGITECH Tech's can't include a Micro 16gb SD to remember devices as they obviously have done with models:* Logitech MX Anywhere* Logitech MX ErgoIf you don't mind shelling out $50 to $70 for a SUPERB multi functional, Dual Connectivity mouse (for both Microsoft AND Apple) USBless & USB adapter, then go for it as it is the Rolls Royce of Hi-Tech Multi-Configurable Customizable mouses ever found to be had; then by all means ENJOY & relish in your satisfaction!!!But, pay a measly $22 to $35 for a wonderful mouse here, M535 / M720, then you need to become a bit of a Nerd in trouble shooting. I've already given you some herein; so I’ll show you how to become a Nerd in Training (rookie) to tremendously enjoy these awesome mouses!Now here's another good one I found from a neanderthal of Logitech mouses:"Mouse m535 intermittently stops working..."... answer is very simply, WAKE IT UP!!!(Left / Right Click; Move it around; etc. then wait; or see TRICKS TIPS TECHNIQUES below)You see, Logitech tries to EXTEND the battery life immensely (up to 10 months), thus Sleep States are incurred.Don't like 'em, go into Settings (mouse), ahhh that is back up top.I think less than 10 min in using a mouse is a GOOD setting! If it takes you GREATER than 10 min in using a mouse, it definitely needs to go to Sleep Mode. (LOL) Also, see below, Wake Up method.TRICKS TIPS & TECHNIQUES(Note: Copy & Paste this into your EVERNOTE app to take full advantage)These Tricks Tips & Techniques are well worth over $80 in Diagnostic fees you’d pay a Technician to solve your problems, a lot of it comes from Common Sense that neanderthals just don’t seem to have these days, but we had decades ago.UPDATE: any and all your Bluetooth / devices and display drivers through your manufacturer's website (be it Dell, HP, et al). Once updated, do a full Restart. A lot of PC users refuse in doing this measure, hence their complaints / negative reviews for a lack of discipline, education that they display so arrogantly, and contribute their measly 2 cents of which it’s not worth.BLUETOOTH DISCOVERABLE: If you’re losing connection / bluetooth disappearing from Devices, chances are Bluetooth is not Discoverable. To Name / Rename your PC, click Settings, System, About to name your PC. Next, Click START, SETTINGS then DEVICES, then BLUETOOTH & OTHER DEVICES … below ‘Add Bluetooth … ‘ and below ‘Bluetooth ON / OFF’ switch should show ‘Now Discoverable as (name of your pc)’ - scroll to bottom and Check Box ‘Download Over Metered Connections’ If the Name of your PC is not showing, Right Click START and select ‘Windows PowerShell (Admin)’ and at the Command Prompt type SFC /SCANNOW … or … DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /RestoreHealth then a Full System Restart / Hard Boot, then recheck above once again to see if your Bluetooth is now Discoverable (Settings, Devices, Bluetooth & Other Devices). See below, ‘Windows Device Manager’ for turning OFF Bluetooth Power ManagementWINDOWS DEVICE MANAGER: Also, you’ll need to go into Windows SETTINGS, type DEVICE MANAGER, click NETWORK ADAPTERS, then left click your Wifi Wireless Adapter then Right Click selecting PROPERTIES, select POWER MANAGEMENT and Uncheck ‘Allow Computer to Turn Off to Save Power’ While you’re at it, click BLUETOOTH device PROPERTIES then POWER MANAGEMENT and Uncheck ‘Allow Computer to Turn Off This DeviceWAKE UP: your sleeping mouse, simply (using your left hand) move Track Pad on laptop SLOWLY while with your right hand you move the Logitech mouse SLOWLY as well; seems to work for me most all the time. SLEEP / HIBERNATE MODE: If that fails, (leaving Bluetooth ON your mouse) put your laptop in SLEEP / HIBERNATE (turns pc off) mode for a minute (get that coffee; take a leak) to a few minutes, then start up laptop, this awakens Bluetooth on your laptop; works for me. This’ll prove it is Windows Bluetooth issue, NOT with Logitech!!!PHANTOM / ERRATIC MOUSE – needs to be modified by: Windows – System – Devices – Bluetooth – then Mouse and Add’l Mouse Settings:Select: Buttons and adjust Double Click Speed (slower or faster – to see what your system can take)Select: Wheel and adjust Vertical down to 5 (I went from 22 (standard) down to 5 to get it to work)WINDOWS ISSUES: Inspite of all the negative hype that can be found with Logitech M535, M720, etc., the fault DOES NOT lay within Logitech but with Windows 10 recent updates; you can research it yourself, "windows 10 bluetooth issues" or "windows 10 bluetooth connection loss" - having 'work arounds' like I've provided (dinosaur techs from the 80’s) here and before, that neanderthals / diaper brats of the iPads / 2020 just can’t figure out, and in knowing these Work Arounds helps immensely in having this awesome mouse(s) working for you. Enjoy!!!ALTERING BROWSER’S ACCELERATIONLowering your Browser's Performance: really helps tremendously!!! (from BSOD)With Chrome:* Click 3 Vertical dots / Custom and Control* Settings* Advance then System* UNCHECK 'Use Hardware Acceleration ...'With FIREFOX ...* Click 3 vertical dots / Open Menu* Options* Performance* then UNCHECK everything; you may leave 1 (to 2) processes, if you like - (I chose 1)If you’re using a different browser, the procedure is nearly the same / identical.Believe me (coming from a dinosaur Windows Troubleshooter), you will not notice any drag in acceleration nor in performance in eliminating ‘Hardware Acceleration / Performance,’ but a tremendous hike in stability!LOGITECHhas recently (end of March 2019) released an update for ‘Logitech Options’ - by clicking MORE, you can Check Box the type of problem you’re having. It’s awfully nice of Logitech to go to extremes to include that in their update (Logitech Options), however, I do not see the problem lies within Logitech, but within Windows, and my above Troubleshooting methods really point to Windows inadequacies / faults, but truly work (my methods above) like a fine tuned charm on overdrive for Logitech’s wonderful mouses (that I have, M535 (for Fire HD 10 tablet), M720 (for Dell, HP Laptops & Desktop))!Scroll Wheel Not Working / being disabled, then do the following to fix Chrome & Firefox, et al browsers ...LOGITECH OPTIONS app: click ‘Point & Scroll’ and Disable Smooth ScrollingI appreciate it that you ADD these Troubleshooting methods to your EVERNOTE app, and most of all, build upon them as I’ve provided herein. Enjoy!!! (and stop being a numb nut neanderthals)As my laptop only has USB ports on the left side, most USB wireless mice don't work very well for a right-handed person (like me). So I bought a bluetooth mouse and the occasional stuttering immediately vanished. I have just started using this mouse, but it seems to work well and stays paired with my laptop.The only surprise (and disappointment) is the mouse is ~3.8 inches in length (not 3 inches). This is almost an inch longer than my Logitech M325 USB wireless mouse. Hence, my 3 star rating for ergonomics. As I don't do much gaming, I went ahead and gave it 5 stars for gaming.I had one that worked over over 3 years of heavy use. I used it all the time. Don't know why it went wonky... I just went out on Amazon and got another one asap. Again... terrific product. Very happy with it.This mouse is available on Amazon in two different colors - black or blue. Some of the photos don't do justice for this small dark blue mouse. The top side of the mouse is a dark shade of blue, while the underside (which you don't see when using the mouse) is an aqua light blue. The scroll wheel matches the underside.The blue mouse looks good when used with a navy blue or royal blue laptop (like the ASUS Zenbook UX370).This mouse is smaller than a normal desktop mouse, but not as tiny as some travel mice. Will fit most hands comfortably. I'm 6'2" with large hands and enjoy using the mouse when sitting at the couch, while my 5'1" daughter with small hands can use the mouse anywhere for many hours doing school work without issue.The mouse has a small blue light that flashes when in Bluetooth pairing mode.Ordered this mouse from Amazon, received the next day, pulled the mouse from its package, opened the battery door and removed the pull-tape from the battery, closed the battery door, and while the blue light was flashing on the mouse, turned on a Bluetooth-equipped Windows laptop, went into the Control Panel, Devices, Bluetooth, Add Device, and Windows immediately paired with the mouse. No special software install necessary for Windows 10. Easy setup!Logitech states this mouse will work with Mac and Windows computers, Android mobile devices and Chromebooks.The mouse has an on/off switch adjacent to the battery door. It was "on" when received new, but there is a pull-tape for shipping to avoid the mouse running until you unpack it. I believe the mouse automatically sleeps when not in use, but this doesn't present a challenge to wake-up when you're ready to use again. The small blue light on the mouse only flashes when in pairing mode, and doesn't appear to turn on at any other time, effectively hidden.The optic under this mouse works on many different surface types without issue, to include wood tables, white plastic tables, leather armrests, cloth armrests, blue plastic and gray plastic surfaces of laptop palmrests, jeans, etc. I haven't tested this mouse on a clear glass table, which may give it a challenge. If you absolutely need a mouse that will work on _any_ surface, the "Logitech MX Anywhere 2S" model uses darkfield technology which reportedly will work on clear glass (and costs significantly more than this M535 model).When shipped, the mouse will arrive in clear plastic packaging. The backside of the plastic is perforated, making it very easy to open, _without_ having to cut into the plastic with scissors or other tools.The primary benefit of using a Bluetooth mouse versus a wireless USB mouse is that operating in native Bluetooth mode with a PC or Android device that supports Bluetooth allows you to use the mouse without having to deal with a small USB dongle necessary in other wireless models. This is an especially important feature for newer model thin laptops that don't have many USB ports, and/or you may not want an extruding dongle connected to the laptop.In daily operation, I've not encountered any challenges with this mouse. Works well in Windows 10 with default settings. No problems with accuracy, lag or jitter. Responds well during light gaming sessions.Overall, thumbs up, and would buy again! No complaints.Pros- Connected quickly and stayed connected.- InexpensiveCons- Action is a little off. It either moves too quickly or too slowly - there's no damping to the scrolling or moving action. To get accuracy, you need to set movement and scroll to slow but then it takes longer to move or scroll.- It feels flimsy. The plastic is rough and thin. Very lightweight. Doesn't seem like it would be very durable and it just doesn't feel like a quality product under your hand.Overall, this is a fine mouse to throw in a backpack or keep around for emergencies, but for everyday use, you'll want something better.This a convenient old-style mouse suitable for normal work. Perfectly connected to my MacBook. It's more suitable than the original magic mouse from Apple, except for the shape and scrolling between left and right.Has worked well! I enjoy the flexibility of the Bluetooth and would recommend this for every day use.Este é um dos melhores mouses que eu já comprei até hoje! Com ele consigo trabalhar com Notebook, Tablets e até em celulares Androids. O Design dele é bonito, ele é confortável e respostal em tempo real, tem um preço bom pelo que ele apresenta, o legal que é possível ajustar os botões do mouse e inclusive funciona muito bem em Macbooks.Vamos lá... estamos falando de um mouse. E o M535 funciona muito bem como um mouse. Não me pareceu falhar em momento algum ( estou usando há quase dois meses). Mas se vc quer apenas o uso convencional desse equipamento, eu diria que há modelos mais baratos e que entregam com a mesma eficiência as funções básicas ( ex: o M170).Mas ele passa a ser uma excelente opção se:1) Se vc usa um MacBook. Por ser bluetooth, a conectividade é imediata sem necessidade de adaptadores ( meu caso atualmente)2) se vc quer customizar os movimentos através do software Logitech Option. Nele vc pode estabelecer funções genéricas e específicas para cada aplicativo. Nesses 2 meses ainda não tive paciência e nem vi grande valor prático em fazê-lo. Mas se vc for um usuário intensivo de aplicativos como Excel, Miro, etc. Pode ser bem útilUm ponto que fiquei um pouco frustrado é a capacidade dele se reconectar em computadores com Windows quando vc usa mais de um computador e quer usar o M535 em ambos a reconexão para o computador com Windows é complicada e algumas vezes necessita remover o drive e reinstalá-lo.Bought this mouse for my MacBook Air so I didn’t have to use a port.Brought it home and lost it somehow. About a week later was cleaning the pool and I found it laying on the bottom. My 18 month old granddaughter had thrown it in...Fished it out, it was horribly rusted but I thought “your not dead until your dry and dead”!Let it dry a week and put a battery In and voila!!!This thing works like a charm even though I can’t get the rust stains off.The mouse color (blue .. for Bluetooth I guess) is unconventional, lower than M525 mouse and a bit larger. I used M525 mouse for years decided to switch for M535 bluetooth mouse, even if M535 is more pricy (easy to find M525 at 25 CAD when you can catch the right moment; M535 is 50 CAD). Paring with my laptop was a charm. Mouse displacement is awesome. As USB ports are very important for other peripherals, my bluetooth mouse is welcome. Con: The wheel is harder than M525 wheel. That's why I didn't give a 5 stars. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied. I use it 7 hrs/day.[May 20, 2020] Euh ... Using it on PC tower, I was surprised about the delay between the move and the action, whitch is not the case on laptop (how fast it could be). A problem of distance? Maybe.This unit isn't the travel sized "compact" travel mouse that the title description says it is. It's actually a full length mouse with a slightly lower profile compared to a "full sized" mouse. More of my palm rests on the table with the lower profile, but the length fills my hand just like any other mouse does.Comes with a double A battery and was very easy to pair (turn on Bluetooth on Windows 10 and my mouse and that was it!).After about a week, the lag some people are noticing isn't noticeable in my experience. I've had the computer return from sleep, turning on/off the mouse during the same session, using the mouse after a few hour break. no perceptible issue.bonus, no laser light on the bottom of the mouse! The sensor is still there, but it doesn't shine a bright light as some other mice do.
