    Style Name:See-Thru Package|Amazon Verified Purchase
    This is a great mouse for reasons all stated in other reviews. However, some complaints I've seen about this mouse in other websites come from people who have not read the manual and missed some features this mouse offers that address their complaints.

    You don't know what to do with the receiver when transporting your laptop?
    First, the mouse does have a compartment for the receiver. The receiver is tiny already, so most people will just leave it inserted in their laptops during transport. However if you wish to store it with the mouse, you can do so. It does not require you to take out the batteries themselves to store the receiver, but you do have to take the battery cover off to access the compartment.

    The mouse is too heavy for you?
    The most awesome and rarely mentioned feature about the mouse is the ability to modify its weight and center of gravity by only using one AA battery instead of two. The reason this is so cool is because it gives you an option to lower the weight of the mouse if you think it is too heavy with 2 batteries (I thought so). You can also to change the way the weight feels in your hand by placing the battery in the slot closest to the center of the mouse or closer to the back of the mouse. Some people prefer the weight of the mouse to be on the back while others prefer it to be more centered. I left mine in the center.

    How does it work with just one battery?
    If you notice, the two batteries in its compartment are used in parallel (both installed looking the same way), instead of 'in series' like most electronics do (going the opposite way). The mouse works on 1.5 volts instead of 3.0 volts like the usual 2 AA battery equipment would. This is what permits the 3 year battery time. Of course, using one battery means it will probably only last about half the time as using two. I'm not an electrical engineer so I don't have much knowledge regarding the efficiency of using two instead of one battery.

    How does this compare to other logitech mice in size and weight?
    I use a wired Logitech G9 Laser Mouse for my desktop pc, which weights 122 grams with no additional optional weights inside. I just add 4 grams of weight for my preferences. In comparison the Marathon M705 weighs 88 grams without batteries. With one battery it weighs 112 grams and 136 grams with two. The batteries it comes with weigh 24 grams each (other brands of batteries might have a different weight). So, with two batteries this mouse is heavier than a G9 even though it is slightly shorter lengthwise and slightly thinner as well. The M705 is about 4.5 inches long, 2.8 inches wide, and 1.5 inches tall.

    As a G9 user, this was the closest feel I could find in a wireless mouse. All other ones either felt too big forcing you to place your entire palm on them and disallow an optional claw grip or felt not wide enough for my hands. I enjoy the width of the G9, and even though the M705 is not as wide and connecting with as much of my palm as I would want it, it does not make my hand cramp up as most other narrower portable mice and I can use it for games without feeling like I'm using a non-full-featured mouse. It is the perfect blend of portable and full sized featured mouse.

    My only gripes:
    The DPI on the mouse cannot be modified. This is understandable as it is not a gaming mouse. When compared to the G9, it seems that is it is permanently set at 1000 dpi. Another problem is that it has negative acceleration. This means that when you move it fast from side to side, it registers less movement the faster you move it. This only occurs at high speed movements, such as doing a quick turn on a first person shooter game. Again, I don't detract from the rating of the mouse, because it is not meant for gaming, but I thought I would include this in the review as some people might want this information.

    Edit: I'm adding an image of the M705 vs G9 to the product page so you can judge the size difference. I looked for this online but it seems not too many G9 owners have yet bought this mouse since it hasn't been out for very long.

    I bought this mouse for my desktop computer because it fit my hand well when I tried it in the store. I initially had the USB receiver plugged into the BACK of the computer and I had serious tracking issues. The mouse worked so poorly at first that I had to go through the software install using just the keyboard. I was hoping the problem had to do with drivers. It didn't. The problem was simply that the USB receiver was too far away from the mouse (or was blocked by too many obstacles). I moved the receiver to a USB port on the front of my PC and the mouse now works perfectly. And just so I don't scare too many people away with concerns that the mouse has a short range, my computer sits on the floor to the left of me and the mouse sits to my right. There's about four feet between my mouse pad and the back of the computer, with plenty of metal and clutter in between.

    It's probably safe to assume those other reviewers had the same problem. If you're using this mouse with a laptop I'm sure you'll be fine. If you plan to use it with a desktop, you may want to get a USB hub if your computer is too far from the mouse and doesn't have a front USB port you can use.

    M705 Mouse February 24, 2010
    Style Name:Boxed Package|Amazon Verified Purchase
    I really like this mouse, the Logitech Marathon Mouse M705. It has an assignable button on the bottom of the thumb rest, in a very convenient location (see picture I uploaded). This button has many programmable features. To try it out I assigned a "W" to it. Loaded up Dragons Age and was able to move forward. Running as long as I held the button down. The button is a bit hard to keep constantly down. But maybe it will loosen up as time goes on. Using it as a momentary on/off was easy and should be very handy.

    The size of the mouse is just right for me. Its a little shorter and a little wider than the mouse it replaces (MX600). Its also bigger than the Anywhere Mouse MX.

    Logitech claims the M705 has a 3 year battery life. That will be great if that's true. The M705 has an on/off switch on the bottom. So I'm guessing to get the full 3 years I'll need to turn it off overnight or when not using for long periods of time.

    One of the main reasons for buying this mouse is I no longer have to settle for whats in the keyboard/ mouse combo packs any longer... yay! As the Unified Dongle allows me to mix and match with other Unified Dongle products.

    To sum it up:
    Yay!
    Assignable thumb button.
    Nice size for my hand size (On the smallish side).
    Unified dongle for up to 6 "Unified" devices.
    3 year battery life.
    $50.00 is a bargain.

    Nay!
    To early to tell.

    Update:
    The scroll wheel is fantastic! It so easy to scroll up and down pages.

    I just added the Logitech K350 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard. The manual for it says all I need to do is put in batteries and its ready to go. Thats not exactly true. I already have this mouse installed with its unifying receiver. So I needed to "unify" the keyboard to the mouse receiver.

    Thats very easy to do in the SetPoint software. The Star Icon at the bottom left on the "My Mouse" Tab. Just follow a short procedure and the you're ready to go.
