Very good Q/P ratio

Medium-sized mouse with very good sensitivity. Note that the USB dongle required to operate it is hidden inside.

Can do much better

Very disappointed with this mouse. The pointer is not precise enough, despite the laser technology. This is why I ordered it... The mouse is too heavy to use. Only the scroll wheel is pleasant. I bought two laser mice (one Logitech and one Microsoft), and the top one would be the lightness and precision of the Microsoft with the scroll wheel of the Logitech... Disappointed...

        Good solo, less so in a group

        This mouse performs its functions perfectly, and the scrolling of the wheel is very fluid, which is nice.
        It took me a long time to work out that the USB adaptor was hidden inside the battery compartment of the mouse (perhaps because I'm not used to using wireless peripherals...). There's nothing about the user guide in the packaging - Logitech had got me used to better things...
        And a bad point when using it in a room with several computers using wireless mice: it creates interference between them, and the cursor starts to do anything. Perhaps it's possible to make a setting to overcome the problem, but in that case I'm back to the user guide, which doesn't give any information.

        Mouse @work

        Recognised as soon as it was plugged in, a few sensitivity settings and off you go. What I like are the mouse pads, which are in small slots and should ensure a long life (usually my mice lose their pads and their slipperiness). I haven't yet been able to assess the longevity of the batteries, but I do like the free scroll wheel (which means you can scroll very quickly) and the functionality of the buttons, thumb return and thumb forward.
        In short, I'm very satisfied.

        Perfect

        Good ergonomics, easy to manage thanks to the unify application. The scroll wheel feels solid (often the weak point of mice).

        Mouse for mobile phones ?

        I was disappointed with the product which replaces my old Logitech mouse which was starting to give out after many years of loyal service.
        I've been using it for a while now, but it's not as good as my old mouse.
        On the other hand I miss my USB sensor on the desk. It's a mini-USB plug and despite the 9m range I had to put it on the front of the tower because the mouse pointer on the back was jerking making the thing unusable.
        I guess the mouse is more dedicated to laptops because otherwise it works well, buttons and wheels are convenient and nice.

        Very pleasant

        Correction of my previous comment after more use, the black button next to the wheel is used to "notch" the rotation of the wheel and it does not turn in a vacuum. Therefore, I have nothing to reproach it with ?

        Knob a little sensitive to movement

        Very good, just a note, the scroll wheel is a bit sensitive when turning in a vacuum sometimes. It creates a few unintentional scrolls per full day of use. Nothing insurmountable in use.

        Same as the previous one

        I have replaced my acine model with exactly the same cat I got used to it very well.
        The only thing is that it is a very large box with 2 items in it...
        Thanks to ldlc for the speed.

        Not quite what I expected when I renewed my Logitech mouse

        I am disappointed compared to my old M560 mouse which gave me a lot of satisfaction for several years but needed a replacement. This mouse does not respond well to the commands of the Blender software that I use daily: the click on the wheel is very hard and difficult to control (impossible with the middle finger, it must be used with the index finger which is not ergonomic) and the right click is too sensitive (the weight of the finger at rest is enough to trigger it)

        Good mouse but can be improved

        Point + :
        Comfort of use
        Scroll mode selection
        Promised autonomy + Battery indicator (but 2 batteries required and non-rechargeable batteries are supplied)
        Overall quality and aesthetics (additional buttons, scroll wheel, materials, etc.)

        Point +/- :
        Resistance/cleaning of coatings over time?
        Logitech Options software convenient but buggy

        Point - :
        Price
        USB adapter (not bluetooth)
        Design issues :
        1/ Buttons too deformable/flexible (right/left click can rub against/block left/right click
        2/ Batteries are not well maintained in their housing: with time and manipulations, the batteries must be often put back in their housing to avoid bugs (ON/OFF).

        Good wireless mouse

        - Good wireless mouse
        - I use it for office work on a laptop
        - The scroll wheel release for scrolling large documents is a bit of a gimmick for me and not really used.

        Very good product!

        A quality mouse as usual from Logitech.
        The grip is pleasant, the settings are easy and the scroll wheel is a real plus when working with large Excel files.
        Icing on the mouse: it was offered at 50% off, so it's an excellent deal.

        I'm very pleased with the quality of the mouse and the way it's been handled by LDLC.

        A timeless

        A mouse that arrived well.
        I picked it up because the Marathon is a classic and timeless mouse.
        The scroll wheel with its freewheel mode is super handy.
        However, I'm not necessarily a fan of the new plastic texture of this modern revision.
        Its grainy feel is disturbing.
        But the scroll wheel is even faster than before.

        At the top!

        I bought it three years ago for work and use it every day (I'm a developer). In three years, I never changed the batteries. The scroll wheel is very practical, and it also has a left-right axis for horizontal scrolling. In short, great!

        No explanation

        There are no instructions for use. At the price of the mouse this should exist. I have worked it out by deduction and there is still a huge button on the top of the mouse which is a mystery to me. I would like to point out that I am not a beginner and yet I am stumbling over this problem. I must admit that I am disappointed.

        Good mouse

        The ergonomics suit me. Beware it's not ambidextrous at all.
        I like the infinite scrolling. However, I regret (as on the M535) that the scroll button can't be moved forward or backward by pushing it to the side.

        Good family mouse

        Good value for money for this mouse, which is both handy, not too big and not too small, and has the classic scroll functions (with infinite scrolling by clicking on the button) and previous/next pages accessible by 2 separate buttons.
        ... And LDLC service is always impeccable :-)

        Available very quickly in shop after ordering online.
        Great value for money.
        I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the price. It works perfectly and allows me to continue using a wireless keyboard with the same dongle which is very convenient.

        To be avoided because of a thumbwheel defect

        This otherwise decent mouse has two drawbacks that make me regret the purchase:
        1/ The scroll wheel is unpleasant, its rotation resonates in the finger in an uncomfortable sensation. I have never seen this on any mouse.
        2/ I use this mouse from my bed and it fell off the bed twice (about 35 cm high. I insist on the fact that these are really small falls and that my previous mice fell from this height dozens of times without any damage).
        After the first fall, the wheel became free for about two days. So it was spinning by itself for almost nothing and was awkward to use accurately.
        Three months later, on the second fall, it became permanently free.
        It still works, but without the clicking sound that accurately locks in the rotation and, as it originally "rolls" very well, it takes very little to register an unwanted rotation.

        Bof

        Good handling, disconcerting thumbwheel at first but which proves to be practical, correct sensitivity of the sensor, impressive autonomy (especially when you don't use it anymore).

        On the other hand ... :
        - What a calamity compared to the range to the base. I bought it to replace my good old logitech from 15 years ago (supplied with the "cordless elite keyboard") and I was hoping to have more than 3 meters of range where the old one had at least 15 meters.
        - What a lack of intelligence in the design. The left and right click buttons are physically very close to each other, so the plastic ends up rubbing against each other and making a shrill noise when used.

        not big enough

        I have large hands (size 9 or 10) and I was looking for a mouse that was big enough to take a palm grip. This model is one of the largest in the Logitech range, and in any case it is not a mini laptop model. Well, it's at least 2 centimetres shorter than what I would need for comfortable extended use.
        I don't want to test the gamer models (too ugly!)

        I'm not sure I'd be able to use it for a long period of time, but I'm not sure I'd be able to use it for a long period of time.

        Apart from the performance of the sensor, I don't think the relatively high price is justified compared to more basic models.

        Very good mouse

        A good mouse, very practical because of its additional controls (which can be adapted with the software). Very comfortable in the hand, light.
        The Unifying technology is SUPER convenient: using only one USB port for keyboard and mouse is still super cool (although basic, it seems).

        In short, a great mouse, with a great price-performance ratio!

        I recommend it to anyone who needs a mouse for any activity (except gaming)

        A small, efficient and not too expensive remote control for the given functions:) good as a remote control and works over a fairly large distance (8m) with a sofa between it and the receiver:) good grip and the number of buttons is sufficient for a classic use

        Expensive and uncomfortable to use

        Personally, I find this mouse expensive for what it is. It's definitely a good product, well made, but it doesn't have anything extraordinary to justify its price either.

        Besides that, I'm not at all convinced by its ergonomics, which several reviews praise. It has two main flaws in this respect.
        1/ It is small in size. I don't have big hands, but if I want to have my fingertips on the buttons, I have an empty palm. As a result, I never hold it in my hand.
        2/ It's too light. It wouldn't be a big deal if it held well in the hand. But as you hold it at your fingertips, it makes the precision of the cursor really random.
        To this, we can also add that the button to change the roulette mode is very prominent. And also, that the wheel is surprisingly heavy, which may give some inertia in "free" mode, but adds to the general lack of precision that this mouse gives off. Well, on those last two counts, maybe with a little practice I could have overlooked it.

        In short, for an office mouse that you hold in your hand for almost 10 hours a day, the ergonomics are not good enough to justify the price (there are undoubtedly much better mice for less than €20 from the same brand). Unless, of course, you have small hands.

        I've been using this mouse for a while now and it's a good value for the money, but it's a good mouse for portable use.

        A versatile mouse

        Good grip, light and pleasant to use. Suitable for both office and gaming. Very good mouse for gaming. No dpi adjustment, too bad. Very practical micro receiver and Unifying compatible, so it can be used with other mice or keyboards, even from other brands.

        Disappointed

        Everything seemed to be great, until I started using it, and then the cursor was so bad or different from the other mice I usually use Logitech G500 or Cherry DW 5100 for example.
        Even after adjusting it to the best of my ability, and testing all the settings, native to windows, and with Logitech's software it didn't make much of a difference if any at all.
        I have to say that the diagonal movement of the mouse from the bottom left corner to the top right corner is not like on other mice, you have to accentuate your diagonal more.

        The pluses are the forward and backward buttons and the adjustable scroll wheel, but this is not enough.

        Corresponds to my expectations.

        Pointer: Contrary to other reviews, this Marathon M705 has a high quality pointer that is accurate and does not miss.

        Battery life: 3 years is an exaggeration, with daily use, good quality batteries last for 6 months which is still very good.

        Ergonomics: very comfortable, very good grip.

        LDLC service: Very fast delivery in Switzerland and LDLC are always so efficient thank you!

        Can do much better

        Very disappointed with this mouse.
        The pointer is not precise enough, despite the laser technology. This is why I ordered it...
        The mouse is too heavy to use.
        Only the scroll wheel is pleasant.

        I bought two laser mice (one Logitech and one Microsoft), and the top one would be the lightness and precision of the Microsoft with the scroll wheel of the Logitech...

        Disappointed...

        A relatively affordable mouse in this category, this is my second M705.
        The first one has been working for several years and is still perfect. You soon forget that it uses batteries. Be careful to always have a set in advance. I change them once or twice a year with daily use.
        Very good value for money.
        Ergonomically it is relatively small compared to a
        MX Master or a Performance MX.

        Accurate and very pleasant

        The mouse is very good, works even on plain surfaces, my desk is black, the coating is not very textured and yet the movement remains fluid and precise.
        It's not very heavy but it's quite pleasant, the disengageable wheel is very practical but I preferred when the disengagement was automatic like on an old model of the same brand.
        However, I use the middle button a lot but it is a bit capricious on this mouse.
        For the ergonomics, well it's great!

        Logitech M705 the essential laptop mouse

        Good product as usual from Logitech.
        Good grip.
        On/Off button to save batteries: Great.
        Delivery a little long in Relais Colis (1 week)
        Works on all surfaces. Very elegant design

        Excellent mouse

        This mouse is very precise and easy to handle. It glides perfectly on the carpet.
        The side buttons are very useful for surfing the Internet and the scroll wheel is well thought out.
        It has no flaws and is well worth the price!
