Logitech claims the M325 mouse will operating up to 18 months on a single battery.
Unfortunately, it will not worth with bluetooth devices like the new, Logitech K810 keyboard I just purchased that will not work on my bluetooth-less PC. The unifying receiver by Logitech will allow you to connect up to 6 different input devices. The M325 is small and fits just right in my hand. What you will notice is more reliable, smoother overall operation. Technically, this means the M325 may not be as precise or accurate, but you would never notice the difference. Keep in mind, the Logitech M325 Mouse M325 is not a laser mouse, it is a 2.4GHz radio controlled, optical mouse. The M325 can reverse and go forward through web pages simply by pushing the wheel to the left or right. I never liked the silly side buttons on the Laser 5000 because I was constantly inadvertently pressing them and causing strange behavior to occur with my screen.
The M325 glides across either my wood-grain desk or mouse pad with ease – never losing track of my movements. I found the default movement to be a little fast for my tastes, so went into the control panel and adjusted the speed down a couple of notches. Having put up with the mushy feel of the Microsoft Laser 5000, the M325 feels amazing – the wheel is solid, precise inspiring great confidence as you use it. Plug in the M325 adapter and in seconds, you’re up and running. There is much to be said for simplicity that goes unnoticed. The Laser 5000 required a long cord and receiver that takes up space on the desk. The Microsoft Laser 5000 mouse was still working when I trashed it, but the scroll wheel became mushy, difficult to use and the entire unit often failed to track my movement.
As I zip around Windows 7 and surf the web with the sleek, comfortable, well-made and cheap, Logitech M325, it is obvious that you don’t always get what you pay for with user interface products such as mice and keyboards. What I used to think was the best wireless mouse is now in my trash can. The Logitech M325 is about one third the price of the Microsoft 5000 Laser mouse I bought 4 years ago.
