Logitech B170 USB Mouse,12-Months Battery Life, Ambidextrous, PC/Mac/Laptop - Black

Hi guys! Bought this yesterday, so haven’t used it much, so an early review. But the most detailed review so please read till the end. Very important points are mentioned. Looks are cute! It looks really nice and elegant. I am using it with a MacBook Air. So far it seems there are no problems using it. The scrolling is smooth, connection does not drop, and there is no lag. Connection is instant. There is no pairing required. It's plug and play along with the dongle provided with it. It sits low on the table, feels weighty but not in a wrong way. The battery adds to it's weight, but I have used heavier mice before, and this one feels just right. It has good grip. Nothing to complain about that. Buttons are nice and clicks are satisfactory, not too noisy; they are just right. Scroll wheel doesn't feel cheap at all, though I believe it could've been better quality. Body is matt finish and doesn't leave fingerprints on it, though if you're someone who eats and handles the mouse, then it'll show the oil prints and that's true with any peripherals. The mouse doesn't feel cheap overall, but it is definitely plasticky, though not in the bad sense. It is definitely not cheap looks wise. There is an on, off switch on the bottom which is helpful in saving the battery (which is included) when the mouse is not in use. There is no light on the bottom which is good if you have kids in the house who keep flipping the mouse and staring at the super bright light. So that's a good thing and a definite plus! The overall shape and size works in the favour of the mouse, and a variety of users with small and large palms will be satisfied with it. Now over to a major flaw. The mouse connects only though it's own usb dongle (which by the way comes tucked inside the body of the mouse itself, inside the battery door, which I found mighty impressive) and not through the laptop's bluetooth. Now this means two things- 1. You have to carry around the usb dongle with you everywhere you go, which means if you happen to forget it at home while traveling and carry just the mouse, then the mouse is pretty much useless in that scenario. And worse still, if you happen to carry it out of station with you and bring back only the mouse and forget to pack the dongle, then you're stuck and I don't think you get only the dongle (you'll have to check that with the seller), and then the mouse is left useless in that case. 2. Now over to the problem I am facing, which I did not see anyone else mention in their reviews. I use a MacBook, so it doesn't have USB-C inputs, which means you must buy a connector for it to connect the dongle. I actually had already bought a connector so that was not a problem for me, but you will have to factor in the cost of the connector, which is not cheap, because you want to buy only good quality connector for your expensive MacBook. Of course that is a problem with the MacBook and not with the mouse, but consider this point. It is very important. It will NOT connect over MacBook's Bluetooth. Otherwise, it works well with the MacBook. The only caveat I found is the tracking speed on level 2 is too slow and on level 3 is too fast. You'll have to get used to that thing. It doesn't feel very natural (as the trackpad on the MacBook feels) because of that speed problem, but otherwise, the pointer flows smoothly on screen and doesn't jump around, at least with my mouse. Also, the battery door does make a noise when landing the mouse on the pad, and I feel it could have been made better. But I guess at the cost, you really can't complain too much. Overall, I think a good buy, but the compulsion of having to use it with it's own dongle is a major drawback I feel. If that doesn't bother you, then nothing else should keep you from buying this product, especially since it is one of the cheapest wireless mice out there at less than 600 bucks, which is what it cost me.

Good product but wheel making sound and something it's no work(click many times to get response.

Simply say superb

Very good, long lasting product. Value for money.

The only legendary mouse ever manufactured. Please improve the scrolling durability, my previous same model's mouse scroll damaged after a few months.

Good functionality and operation. But scrolling and clicking stop working after a year or two of daily use. Found battery life is decent like about 3-4 months on alkaline tracking and clicking are good when new but multiple clicking error starts about 1-2 years later

Ah, the Logitech B170 Wireless Mouse, a true masterpiece in the world of clickers! As a self-proclaimed computer mouse connoisseur, I've spent hours analyzing this fine piece of engineering, both for its swift scrolls and its betrayal of trust. Let's dive in. Pros: Compact size: This mouse fits perfectly in my hands – not too big, not too small, just right for Goldilocks and anyone else with small to medium-sized paws. It makes me feel like a digital artist painting on a tiny canvas...of spreadsheets. 2.4 GHz receiver: Oh, what speed! It's like the Formula 1 of wireless connections – so responsive that I swear it anticipates my clicks before I even make them. Bluetooth mice? Pfft, they wish. Nano receiver: It’s so tiny you almost forget it's there. Until, of course, you remember your fancy MacBook only has USB-C ports. So, it’s small, yes, but it also needs to be...attached to a larger, uglier USB-C adapter. It’s like dressing a mouse in a tuxedo and then putting it in a clown car. Classy but inconvenient. Scrolls fine: The scroll wheel does its job without fuss, like a diligent intern who’s just happy to be here. Cons: Double-clicking betrayal: Oh, the heartbreak. After a few months of smooth scrolling romance, it started double-clicking like a lovesick teen sending too many texts. Every. Single. Time. Single-click? Double-click. Double-click? Who knows anymore! The mouse has developed a mind of its own. Update March 23/2025 The scrolling disaster (Reduced another star. Sitting at an abysmal 1 star now) The mouse is failing to scroll consistently. This is my third B170 mouse and all three have died in less than an year. Not that I expect such an inexpensive mouse to last longer but the ZEBRONICS Dash Pro at les than half of this price has been a better and consistent performer for me. Support, where art thou? Trying to get support for this mouse feels like trying to explain quantum physics to a cat. You know there's a possibility they'll understand someday, but today is not that day. In conclusion, the Logitech B170 is like a thrilling romance: it starts off strong, makes you fall head over heels, then breaks your heart after a few months, leaving you questioning your choices. But, hey, at least it scrolls fine.

bought this on april 2025 , the scroll wheel broke near november 2025 and now the buttons are having a wired second click on thier own ( like i press one button and it presses itself twice so when i click play on youtube video it playes and pauses within one second because the mouse did 2 clicks when i pressed the button once ). kind of a waste of money but the feel and fit of the mouse is so good and nice that no other mouse can get close to it at this price point .
