Logitech M100R USB 2.0 Mouse

Bought this on 16th Nov, 2011. Within 4 months the left button starts to behave erraticaly - cannot select, double click on single clicking etc. May be that I have got a lemon, but recently noticed the same trend on other other entry level logitech mouse as well; this was my second logitech mouse in that year. May be it is time to chage the brand.
Flipkart service is good as always.

Point 1. Flipkart- I ordered this little rodent yesterday, July 11th @ 1:07PM and received the consignment earlier today (July 12th) @ 3:30 PM or thereabout. With receipt and all.

Just over 24 hours it took. And although it came in a scruffy and distinctly unattractive packaging, it was effectively secured from transit damages through a bubble wrap. I like.

The packaging, visually and aesthetically unattractive though it might have been, was exactly of the right size and the product was nicely secured within. This is necessary, 'cause under-filled boxes are likely to collapse, while overloaded ones may burst.

So Flipkart gets 9.5/10 for service - Half deducted for lack of finesse while packing :P (I'm allowed to be a tad nitpicky, ain't I)?

Point 2. Logitech- The mouse itself though is slightly disappointing by Logitech standards. The most used left button is not exactly soft touch and you really have to press it harder than you're used to on devices from other manufacturers thus far.

But I'm sure, this is a quirk on my particular piece unfortunately, and now, I'm stuck with it. It's nothing that you can't get used to, though.

Also, the center scroll button feels a tad flimsy and I hope that it holds up in the long run, 'cause that is exactly why I'm swapping out my current mouse - the scroll button on it doesn't work no more.

Logitech gets 5/10 and that's only because the thing works...And I hope that it continues to do so in the long run.

Lastly, I ordered this ahead of the M90 for 20 bucks more because of side scrolling. 1000 dpi tracking works just fine for my 1360x768 screen for basic non gaming needs.

Update 17/5/13 - Just 2 years and the middle button has stopped functioning. I had already mentioned it's shabby quality in my original review, but now, the middle click just ain't working.

The scrolling still works, but for somebody who uses the middle click extensively, this is a massive fail. Terrible from such a massive brand to put products out without the barest of bare minimum quality control. Not a happy chappy *angry*

I bought this mouse in April 2012, 4 months ago, and usage has been normal (i.e. emails & office work, not heavy gaming). The mouse is ergonomic and inexpensive, and looks simple and elegant. However, the left button has started to double-click or lose the click randomly now. e.g. I would be dragging a folder somewhere, and it'll suddenly lose the 'hold' because the mouse has stopped sensing the left button press. Or I would click once on something and it would double-click, ending in unwanted executions of an application and other such behaviour.

I would not have written a negative review, but exactly the same thing happened with my previous mouse, which was also a Logitech. I've realized that there is no use buying the cheap variants from the large companies, because they are the same Chinese mass-manufactured products with different stickers. If you buy cheap, buy from any company. If you want the trust associated with a big brand, it's better to go for their premium products, where they take manufacturing and quality assurance seriously.

I have been using Logitech mice from 1999 (my first PC).. To be honest the old balled models were gem and i still have them under working conditions.. The only problem was, the ball get gummy with days and you had to remove the ball, clean it and use them again..

But these latest M90 and M100 logitech mice are the WORST.. Built with worst logic by the company, keeping the logic in mind that "people would buy Logitech after every 4 months!!".
That is an worst logic by logitech..

From 2007 have bought at least 3 M90s and an M100 and all tend to create the Button click problem.. You click once and the button clicks twice because of the defective Micro-switch spring mechanism.. Not only that, every mouse cost more than Rs.400..!!

So, my advice, AVOID Logitech mouse..!! Not to Say anything bad about Flipkart thought..

the untimely demise of my mouse set me on a mouse hunt online looking for a good replacement :P

i was using a "local" mouse worth 100 bucks and it had a warranty of 3 months - it fell flat few days after completing its promised life span

now logitech m 100 looked a dull and drab piece look wise - the ones from razerdeath, i ball etc looked more appealing & classy
but i decided to give it a go.

and i must say i am fully satisfied. the mouse shows why logitech peripherals are considered world class
its comfortable to hold, keys are soft and it works fine without a mice pad.

the added bonus is the side scroll button - comes handy while browsing the web. the pack says the side scroll doesn't work in linux, but i use ubuntu & it works just fine

overall a very good product - i have been using it for some 2 months & didn't find any problems.
deserves a 5 on 5

i will suggest its a good investment & better than other local alternatives (if you don't buy mice every 6 months :))

very decent service by flipkart. packaging was excellent & i am looking forward to more shopping on this wonderful website

hope the review was helpful
