Look into Logitech wireless mouse M525, lasts 3 years on single charge

First look

While some tech gurus may already have declared that the poor mice would soon be dead, the electronics peripheral firm Logitech does not believe so. That's because it has recently brought a new wireless mouse in the market and it's no ordinary mouse. It's a pretty beautiful one and lasts really longer, like three years longer. Now a wireless mouse lasting that long with just a single charge is a rarity. And anyone who is still not ready to give up on the poor old mice would love to have one.

Logitech Wireless Mouse M525

What's new

If you own a wireless mouse, you must be well aware of the frequent trips that you have to make to your local store for a pair of batteries. And it's needless to say that it isn't a trip that you love to make every time the mouse goes dead. But, with the new M525 mice from Logitech, you would completely do away with that frequent trip to once in three years. Yes there's no kidding, the new mice is capable of running on a single charge for three long years. Now, who wouldn't want love to have the favorite rodent for that long.

It's not only the battery life that the company has considered on; they have also added the micro-precise scroll wheel for a controlled and smooth navigation.

What's been refreshed

This is not the first time that the electronic peripherals giant has churned out a long lasting wireless mouse from its kitty. Before this, some of the previous models like M315, M505 have had one to two yearlong battery life. But, the new model M525 tops all the previous models where the long battery life is concerned. Not only that, it is also one of the first wireless mice to have the maximum battery life.

Features walkthrough

Long battery life: Logitech's new wireless mouse, the M525, promises a very long battery life of about three years. There's also a sleep mode in the mouse that puts it at rest when not in use to save power.

Hyper-fast scrolling: This feature makes scrolling through a longer document exceptionally easy. The micro-precise scroll wheel lend a hyper-fast scrolling speed through any of your documents, web pages or music libraries.

Unifying receiver: It's a tiny device that lets you connect up to six Logitech wireless peripherals at the same time.

Advanced wireless technology: The 2.4GHz wireless technology promises a better speed and reliable performance from the mouse.

Tilt wheel: Logitech has also added the functionality of moving back and forth between web pages while navigation using the wheel of the mouse. The wheel can be tilted left or right for going on to the next page or the previous one.

Laser-grade tracking: Being based on the Logitech's Advanced Optical Technology, the mouse can function well even on the obstructive or super smooth surfaces. The laser-grade tracking also saves power and thus a longer battery life.

What's good

The extraordinary battery life of three years is the reason why any one would love to have this rodent as their pet. Logitech's previous model M505 has already been quite a hit for it's two year long battery life and if Logitech thinks the new model, M525 would last for three years, we might as well believe it.

The Unifying receiver and the advanced wireless technology also make it a product worth having. And for using this mouse you need not have just Windows, this also works with Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, a good option for Mac users if you are tight on budget.

Lastly, the whole look of the mouse is a very pleasant one. Logitech also spoils you with five different color choices such as black, green, blue, white and red. They all look stunning and hand-friendly with the nicely shaped design.

What's not so good

The M525 mouse uses laser technology, which means it is more precise, which is not a bad thing at all. But, for regular users who are not dealing with activities such as gaming or graphic designing it might seem new. Nonetheless, being precise is hardly a reason to dismiss a well-designed product.
