Andazu · May 20, 2015

Hey, so i have been looking at this mouse: http://www.engadget.com/products/logitech/marathon-mouse/m705/

And i wanted some feed back on it from you guys. Since my last wireless mouse had horrible mouse lag, i wanted to know mostly about that.

Thanks in advance!

I have been using that mouse for the past 2 years, no complaints at all. Comfortable and does what it's supposed to do.

Been playing fps, mmos and mobas(competitively). Great mouse for me and the battery life span is amazing.

I've been using it for a while. It feels nice and the back/forward buttons are handy as key bindings. The battery life can last a couple of years. After a while the nice 'padding' on the left hand side does get dented to somewhat reveal the structure of the inside, but doesn't compromise comfort too much. I find myself using the free-scrolling a fair bit. The scroll wheel seems generally nice to use. In some cases though, range from the wireless receiver isn't great. Particularly if the signal has to go through your PC or there are other wireless devices in very close proximity. I have mine plugged into a USB hub on my desk and this has always solved the issue for me.

In terms of lag, there is nothing significant that I have noticed, even in games such as CSGO that depend on a good reaction time. However, if you are at the edge of the range (see what I was talking about above), you will notice some jumpiness and unresponsiveness. Overall, a good mouse, one of the best wireless mice I have ever used, particularly for the price. I couldn't deal with a cable on my mouse
