Logitech M525 Wireless Mouse - Navy & Grey Ergonomic Comfort, 2.4GHz USB Receiver, Long Battery Life for Laptop, PC, Mac - Perfect for Office, Home, Gaming & Travel Use

I have been using many M-525 Mice on computers. I own about 10 computers. It is my favorite mouse. I like the feel, it is simple, and very reliable. I am not a gamer and do not use this mouse for gaming. For gaming Logitech has some specialized mice for this. Gaming mice are a specialty all of their own. The mouse I replaced this with was dropped too many times, and eventually was damaged. Normally these last for years as long as you keep your hands clean, and change the two AA cells when they run weak. I found the batteries can last more than a year even with a lot of use. I use most any standard alkaline AA batteries.Just to mention, a quality gaming mouse generally is weighted and balanced to have the proper feel for the necessary momentum during movement for quick response with the proper resolution for displacement more so than exact precision as used in graphic drawing. High end gaming mice come with features that are designed for programmable preset options that can be enhanced to trigger functions during the game without having to disturb the process.Take care when using any type of wireless device where a transceiver unit is plugged in to the USB port. With some computers it is possible for the device to have some interference. In the case of the mouse there could be some hesitation, or with a keyboard entries may have hesitation. Re-locate the transceiver unit to another port on the opposite side of the computer if a port is available. I found with a computer that had this issue, I put the transceiver on to a USB extension of about 2 feet long and re-located the transceiver to be a few feet from the computer. You can also use the transceiver on a USB HUB located a few feet from the computer.As for the M-525 and other similar mice, I would say this one is terrific for doing office work, general graphics, business apps, cad work, and etc. This one is my favourite general purpose mouse from all the ones Logitech has. I tried a fair number of them until I settled on this one.--The only one thing that I found difficult with this mouse is the packaging. The packaging is definitely not user friendly for removing the mouse from it. The blister packaging they use is very strong, and not very easy to cut. The mouse is inside of a bubble part of the packaging and it is not easy to remove. Care must be taken to not damage or scratch the mouse unit. I have bought many types of devices and products over the years, and the packaging of this mouse has to be one of the most difficult I have had to remove the product from it.As for this model of mouse itself, for general type use I found this mouse to be one of the very best mice out there!
