Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse T631 for Mac

This mouse is insanely small and thin! Great as a travel mouse or for kids. I have 2XL hands and have no problem using it, but my initial impression was negative. I bought it because I left my usual Magic Mouse behind and I'm traveling, so Amazon "next day" to the rescue. When it arrived, I immediately thought "oh dear ... well, better than nothing and it's a great size for a travel mouse or give it to one of the kids." After less than the first day of use, I realized I'd forgotten all about it -- it's as easy to use as the Apple mouse.One thing to note, at least for OS X, the scrolling is poor until you install the driver and reboot, then it's liquid smooth. The driver download link is included in the box (samsung.com/download/t631) and it's about a 50MB file that installs with no drama.Note that it has some cool features such as supporting two bluetooth host devices (a mechanical slide switch underneath toggles between "1" and "2" ... this was a major selling feature for me because I have two laptops ... my sort of "dual monitor" solution for traveling.) I still prefer using a virtual desktop app, but it overcomes the problem I had of the two Macs each trying to grab the mouse connection and a lot of boring software clicks to get from one to the other for specific tasks. It's about a 3 second handover process to flick the switch between 1 and 2, then bluetooth does the rest with no intervention.It also works as a mouse on the Nexus 10 with no fiddling, just click search for device, then pair ... bingo. Quite handy once you have the Nexus with a bluetooth keyboard if you want to do precise work.It charges off a micro USB cable, supplied in the box, but that's (for me, at least) one less cable to carry. Battery isn't an issue, it has an off switch, but left on, it seems to last about two days. I charged it this morning. It's little blue pin prick light glows and pulses slowly, then it turns solid and the preferences app updates as you unplug it to report a full battery of charge (no percentage, no estimated hours of remaining battery.) Good enough, but the metric Logitech offers (one minute of charge equals one hour of operation) just suggests that if you have the cable and it dies, you're only five minutes away from ample battery. Because the connect is underneath, it disables the mouse entirely during charging, but since you're talking about just a minute or three to revive it, I guess that concession to design aesthetics is fine by me.I saw some comments on it being difficult to click on soft surfaces (like a mattress) which I don't quite follow since it does the original "jeans test" from Apple ... you can use your knee as a mousing surface ... it seems to track beautifully on any surface except a glass table.This device raises my opinion of Logitech up to equal Samsung and even Apple itself.

It took a day or so to get used to it, but now I have the motions down and it is intuitive. A great little device.I use it with a Google Pixel C. I was told that some features of the mouse would not work with a Pixel C. But, it works great! It has a toggle on the bottom so that you can pair it with different devices. It always pairs up in about 5 to 30 seconds.It fits the hand nicely, is light, but has enough weight to give a nice "techie" feel. If they had made it from plastic it would be too light, and probably would take less of a beating.If you stroke the surface front to back it moves the screen up or down in relation to the pointer. If you move your finger to the right across the surface, it pulls in things from off screen to the left. (This is the feature I was told would not work on a Pixel C, but it does anyway). To move them back you have to right-click and hold to drag them back off the left side of the screen. Within some programs that feature does not work, but I think that is because there is nothing there to drag, but in others it works both to the right or left side of the screen, and in those programs either there is content off screen or the content snaps back to center. If you can drag something with your finger on the screen, then you can with this pointer. At least that is how it has worked on mine.It makes using some tablet or phone versions of "desktop" programs feel more like their big brothers. For the price it is a great deal. It has already taken a beating of a few months being dragged around in a soft side briefcase. It shows no wear to the appearance, and works like it did out of the box.I am pretty spoiled and am dreading the day that, as with all mice, it gives up the ghost and goes to that great recycling heap. I might buy one and stick it in my spare parts locker against that day.
