A Super Cool, “No Fuss, No Muss,” Wireless Mouse,
I am quite impressed with Logitech’s WIRELESS MOUSE M310. First off, it is VERY EASY to install. Just plug in the teeny-tiny wireless adapter and go; the computer recognizes the device instantly, the mouse immediately starts working, and there is no software to install. YEA! This mouse is truly plug and play; it is up and running within seconds of being removed from the packaging.
Second, the teeny-tiny wireless receiver for Logitech’s WIRELESS MOUSE M310 can stay permanently in one of your laptop’s USB ports without you noticing it, or it getting in your way. If you travel, this is a really nice feature, because it is just one less thing for you to remember to pack in your computer bag. No recharge dock, no big, unwieldy connection device, no tangled cables. I love anything that saves my time, as well as space and weight in my computer bag. (And if you do have to remove it from your computer, there is a handy-dandy little storage port for the receiver INSIDE the mouse. How cool is that? This way, you never lose the little connector.)
Third, Logitech’s WIRELESS MOUSE M310 is a full sized, basic mouse, very responsive and accurate. So even when I travel, I have the convenience and comfort of a regular mouse, instead of one of those small travel mice.
Logitech’s WIRELESS MOUSE M310 fits comfortably in my hand, is light-weight, and has soft rubber grips. And this new line is very pretty, too! It comes is a variety of colors and patterns, enough to match any user’s personality. Mine happens to be Red Tendrils, which looks great in my home office and on the road. (Of course, I’ve never thought about having a stylish mouse before, but hey…) Additionally, it takes only a SINGLE AA battery, which can last up to 12 months. This is a significant improvement over other wireless mice which require two batteries that last only 2-3 months.
I really like the look and feel of Logitech’s WIRELESS MOUSE M310. Over the years, I have tried many, many kinds of mice: wired, wireless, battery-operated, rechargeable, different shapes and sizes. I have to say that, for me, Logitech’s WIRELESS MOUSE M310 seems to combine the best ergonomic, convenience, and technical properties of all the others. It may be that I have finally found my perfect mouse. I’ll let you know.
UPDATE: April 4, 2011. I just changed the battery for the very first time. 9 months on a single double-A battery. FANTASTIC. I really do love this mouse!

|Excellent mouse,
I was deciding between this mouse and the M305. My main concern was the size. I did not want a mouse that was too big, bulky and heavy – I find those to be just uncomfortable. At the same time, I was unsure about the M305 because I was figured it would be too small to be usable, as most portable laptop mice are. The M310 is a perfect size. It is light, comfortably shaped and fits in my palm nicely. At the same time, it’s small enough to put in a small pocket of a laptop bag and convenient to carry around. The receiver is something you don’t have to worry about at all – you can just leave it in your laptop when you go somewhere. If you’re taking your mouse somewhere separately, there’s a nice slot for the receiver right inside the mouse. Another plus is the “Invisible Optic” laser. If you need to turn the mouse over for whatever reason, (to use the handy on/off switch, for example) you don’t get blinded by it.

|Suitable for Basics But Lacks Accuracy …,
There are numerous positive and negative features concerning the Logitech Wireless Mouse M310. Your experience with this product will depend on your needs. Here’s some notes on my experience:
-Ergonomically speaking, the Logitech is comfortable. I used it for several, consecutive hours and experienced no discomfort. That’s a boon!
-Concerning ease of cleaning, this mouse can be wiped with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol. The color will not transfer and the base will not lose its texture. Nonetheless, I have a feeling that Logitech doesn’t recommend this … so, proceed with caution. I have always used high-concentration SD alcohol (at least once a week) with my mice and experienced no problems.
-As far as aesthetics, this mouse perfectly compliments my work-computer … a red Dell Studio 17. It is a spot-on color-match. And, for my work (evaluating student writing, composing lectures, etc…), it is perfectly appropriate. However, if you require fine movements, the Logitech falls short. I tried it with my gaming computer (an Alien M15) and quickly found myself frustrated. For instance, in WoW, I persistently overshot the icons on my action-bar. (It was a sad day in arena, indeed!) The mouse jumps and skips … but in such a minute way that one would never notice it outside of gaming or design.
-I am dubious of the claim that this Logitech mouse will survive for twelve months on a single set of batteries. This is my third Logitech wireless … the longest I have ever gone without changing the batteries is about five months. All have claimed a twelve-month life-span. Nonetheless, it warrants noting that my laptop is in-use for at least six hours a day.
Bottom-line: if you are seeking a mouse for casual use (like using the internet, composing documents, or uploading photos), this will easily meet your needs. However, if you are a serious gamer, a design student (or professional), or someone who relies on precise movement, this Logitech might not be your best bet. (In fact, you’ll probably be better off with a traditional, “corded” mouse … wireless is not quite perfected yet).
