Questions & Answers
It can be connected in either direction. It's up to you! I prefer Bluetooth because it frees up my USB ports for other uses. Others, on the other hand, might prefer to use the dongle instead of the Bluetooth radio.
I have no way of knowing when my mouse sleeps or wakes up. It almost always responds immediately. Sleep mode cannot be disabled, as far as I am aware.
Greetings, Yin. With the tilt-wheel, you can also scroll horizontally, which is ideal for large spreadsheets, images, and web pages.

It's well-designed, well-made, and just the right size. ok. br>br>Perhaps it's unfair, but I bought this to replace my Performance MX, and the fact that it has the same number of buttons on the side but only allows you to switch between computers (which is a useless feature for me) was disappointing. br>br>However, the most serious flaw I find with this device is its poor Bluetooth performance. THE LINK IS CONSTANTLY DISCONNECTED. I'll click on a bunch of things, type in a text box for 10 seconds, and then return to the mouse to find that it needs to wake up and reconnect, which is extremely inconvenient. I can only assume that this is built into the hardware to allow it to meet the package's battery claims. However, as a result, I find it to be functionally useless. This mouse is purposefully slowing me down by requiring me to wait up to 5 seconds for it to wake up nearly every time I use it. If it did that after more than about 5 minutes of non-use, I'd be fine with it. use, but it does so after the tiniest of pauses on occasion. It's simply annoying. br>br>I recently purchased a Logitech G604. It uses Bluetooth as well, but has none of the issues. I can take a break for a few moments and then return to it with ZERO movement delay. Other times, I'll come back to it after typing for about 5 minutes, and it'll take *gasp* about. It only takes 5 seconds to wake up. If I hadn't thrown away the M720's packaging, I would have returned it. I'll probably keep it as a backup and stash it away in a drawer.
I chose the M720 because it can work with a variety of platforms. I had previously used the M510 for a number of years and had always liked the design. It was a standard five-button mouse, and the two buttons on the side of the mouse that I use to navigate back and forth in a browser were spaced apart enough that they were easy to distinguish simply by feel. The M720, on the other hand, has three buttons on the side of the mouse, two of which are used to navigate back and forth in a browser window by default, and one of which is used to switch between any of the three systems to which this mouse can be connected. It's meant to make navigating these systems easier, but I found it to be poorly designed because the buttons are small and interconnected, making judging them by feel difficult. br>br>In addition, there's a small lip on the edge of the top of the mouse just above the buttons. I've included a photo of this ridge, which you can see in the photo. The issue I had was that the side buttons are located directly beneath this lip, resulting in an overhang that covers the top of the buttons, making it difficult to tell which button is which solely by feel. I kept pressing the wrong buttons, particularly the system switcher. Finally, another button on the side of the mouse, but at the base of the mouse, brings up a small preview window of all the open windows you currently have, allowing you to navigate between them easily. This button was also a pain for me because I would frequently hit it by accident, bringing up the preview window, when I moved the mouse around. br>br>Overall, I found the mouse's button design to be disappointing, to the point where it was unusable for my needs. As a result, I returned it and replaced it with a new M510, which I'll use in conjunction with a software solution to use across all of my systems.
It irritates me greatly. There are a few help pages that show how to possibly fix it, but you'll need to install some software (which isn't hosted by Logitech), which I won't do. br>br>I got a new mouse after returning the old one. The issue is the same with the replacement. I tried it on two different systems, and they both behaved the same way. br>br>Under no circumstances can I recommend this mouse.
This is an excellent mouse: it's light and comfortable to use (my hands are medium). Its scroll wheel takes some getting used to (it's in the 'flywheel' style, so if you spin it and then let it go, it'll keep spinning for a long time), but it's great for quickly paging through long documents. It's not my favorite feature as a 3d modeler, but it's fine; it's also higher up/further away from the hand than some wheels, which means my pointer finger bends quite a bit to spin it; and it's also higher up/further away from the hand than some wheels, which means my pointer finger bends quite a bit to spin it; Be forewarned if you have finger joints that are sensitive to this sort of thing. br>br>I especially like the ease with which I can switch between computers. There's no need to be concerned about battery life for the time being. That isn't a concern for me because I haven't had the mouse for long enough. br>br>The left side/thumb button is my only major criticism of this mouse. The entire left side of the mouse is essentially one large button that you can program to perform a specific task (by default, it brings up the Windows alt tab menu, which is fine). I wish it were less sensitive, or even better, if there was a dedicated button for this instead of my thumb accidentally clicking on the surface and bringing up that menu every now and then. It's not a deal-breaker, but as someone who is used to working with more rugged traditional mouse designs, it takes some getting used to.
I'm not going to lie, I was hesitant to purchase this mouse because it wasn't a fan favorite; I was afraid that after a long 8-hour work day, my wrist would kill me or my forearm would throb, but I'd say that was a mistake. I like the side options and the enigmatic nature of the wheel, though you still have complete control if you accidentally scroll too far and miss an important row (heavy excel users will understand). br>br>I've had it for about three weeks and am happy with it. I understand that some people may have issues with the functionality and/or design of the mouse, but I believe that giving it a try will help you figure out what kind of mouse you'd be comfortable using all day at work or just for personal/casual use.
