Default Logitech Wireless Mice

I am looking for what might be used instead of the Logitech M305 Wireless Mouse. Maybe it is the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse.

http://www.techenclave.com/community...-mouse.138006/

Mouse
60 mm (2.36 inch)
99 mm (3.89 inch)
39 mm (1.54 inch)
75g mm (2.65 ounces)


Nano Receiver
14 mm (0.55 inch)
19 mm (0.75 inch)
6 mm (0.24 inch)
2g (0.07 ounces)

Compare this to my M305 which is about 3.625" x 2.125". But for all I know, I measured it wrong. I'm lying in bed using a tape measure. Calipers would be much better.

A couple of reviews said the noise from the buttons clicking is annoying.

Default Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse

Here's a review of the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse T630. There is also a Mac version T631.

Quote:
The T630, at its broadest points, measures 3.25 inches in length, 2.25 inches in width and 0.5 inches in depth, though that tapers significantly towards the front end

It was interesting until I got to the fact that it seems to be bluetooth only and it's pricey at $70-ish...

Are you going to get one? '-}}

It looks bigger than the little ones I've used for my sisters' laptops but I can't remember which model(s) they have.

I think you said M325. Here's the size: http://www.game-debate.com/mouse/ind...325%20Wireless. That is only a tiny bit bigger than M305. Much better choice of decorative graphics. So could be a good choice.

My guess is that the M325 is the replacement for the 305 and the graphics are fun...'-}}

Compared to the M325, it's 1mm longer and 3mm wider. But I do think it's the replacement. It carries on with the decorative graphics, so it is probably trying to reach the same customers.

Well, I do have a new laptop on the way, and I don't want to keep switching the USB receiver back and forth, so I will be buying a new mouse. And what's odd is despite the abundance of different graphics for this mouse, I cannot find one that suits me. Most of the graphics give me a cold feeling. They even managed to make one with two birds look icy. Others look like viral attacks. I'll probably have to settle for something boring.

LOL! I like the purple one myself. You can also find these at Staples and Office Depot--often on sale--so you might take a browse locally to see if one suits your fancy better in person...'-}}
