Taken from my original review, posted here: http://headphonehub.blogspot.com/2015/08/logitech-m510-wireless-mouse-review.html
The M510 is a mid-priced wireless mouse from Logitech that I personally purchased for use with my laptop when I am on the go. I wanted something reasonably priced that was full-sized, had a few additional buttons, great battery life, and a minimum of a 1,000-dpi sensor that I could use for light gaming and video editing on my laptop. The Logitech M510 delivers on all of these points, and has thus far proved to work well for my usage.
The M510 is a full-sized mouse, not one of those dinky mini-mice that I see a lot of people using with their laptops on the go. I am used to a full-sized, relatively ergonomic mouse at home (I use a CM Storm Inferno for my primary at-home wired mouse) and after using that mouse I can't bear going back to something as small and non-ergonomic as those mini-mice. Speaking of non-ergonomic, my previous mouse for use on the go was a spare Apple Magic Mouse that I had lying around. In many areas Apple makes great products. Mice however, is not one of them. The Magic Mouse utilized a slow 800-dpi sensor and is extremely non-ergonomic. I use a palm grip with my mice, and the Magic Mouse doesn't doesn't really allow for such a grip by design. It also uses bluetooth to wirelessly connect to my laptop, which is all fine and good (and many prefer this method of connectivity) however, bluetooth wireless devices seem to burn through battery power far faster than non-bluetooth wireless devices in my experience. Enter the M510. It's a full-size mouse in an ergonomic shape. While it's not quite as large as my CM Storm Inferno, it's big enough to be comfortable to use for hours on end. There is no disputing Logitech's "full-size" description. I would say that I have medium sized hands, and I can palm grip this mouse quite comfortably.
The textured rubberized material on the sides (where the thumb and pinky finger typically rest) is also a nice design choice, as it feels like thick, quality rubber material that isn't going to wear off after a year (like my at-home mouse). The remaining portions of the mouse are constructed from dark grey and silver glossy plastic, that somehow manages to remain glossy and not become a fingerprint magnet. The overall weight of the mouse is fairly light (around .06 oz), even with the added weight of the batteries. While I prefer a somewhat weighty mouse in general, for on the go it's fine and weighs around what my wired at-home mouse weighs anyway.
The M510 connects wireless to your device using an extremely small USB "unifying receiver." It is called a unifying receiver because you can connect multiple wireless Logitech devices to one receiver, negating the need for having multiple receivers for each wireless device plugged into your computer, taking up all your free USB ports. You could, for example, connect both your wireless Logitech mouse and keyboard to one receiver. The receiver is extremely small, and barely protrudes out from the USB port it is inserted into. This is a nice design, as you can essentially leave the receiver in your laptop's USB port and forget about it, as it's so small you don't need to remove it when sliding your laptop into a bag, for example. If you don't want to keep the receiver permanently attached to your laptop, there is an area where you can store the receiver inside the mouse itself, right next to the batteries. A caveat of the receiver is that in my testing it does not have nearly the range that my bluetooth wireless Apple Magic Mouse did. Despite this, the mouse will operate flawlessly if used within any reasonable radius of the receiver. Another obvious downside is that the receiver method uses up a USB port, and for us USB starved Mac laptop users, that leaves us with only one remaining USB port. The upshot of the whole use of the USB receiver is that the connectivity method uses substantially less power than connecting via bluetooth. Logitech claims that the M510 gets two years of battery life, which is incredible compared to the few months (with light usage) my previous bluetooth mouse got. The M510 takes two standard AA batteries, and comes preinstalled with two quality Duracell's which is really nice to see.
The M510 has an on/off switch located on the underside of the mouse, and the mouse reconnects to the computer extremely quickly after being turned back on. You also don't have to worry about draining your battery power when leaving the mouse in the on position, as the M510 appears to go into some kind of low power state when in "on" mode, but not in use. You really can just pop two batteries in this thing and forget about it.
Left and right click feel is great, with nice tactile feedback and a highly audible click. There are a total of seven buttons on the mouse. Obviously left and right click, forward and backward buttons on the lefthand side of the mouse, and the scroll wheel, which can be depressed downward or moved left or right for horizontal scrolling. (Note: I didn't include the vertical scrolling action of the scroll wheel as a button). All of the buttons feel solid and have good tactile feedback, although the forward and backward buttons on the lefthand side of the mouse do feel a tad bit mushy (but still let out and audible click when fully depressed, nonetheless). I love the inclusion of the left and right horizontal scrolling action achieved by moving the scroll wheel left or right, it really helps when navigating sideways through webpages that are too large for a smaller laptop screen. Scroll wheel feel is good, and it is the "notched" feeling wheel that most mice use and is not completely linear.
The mouse uses a laser sensor, with a resolution of 1,000-dpi. Overall tracking is pretty good, and seems relatively smooth. It's still not as smooth or jitter-free as the much higher DPI optical sensor in my CM Storm Inferno, but that's somewhat to be expected. I noticed that when moving to the extreme or outside of the M510's 10-meter operating range that the tracking quality significantly worsened, with more cursor jitter and laggy performance. If you find that tracking is less than ideal with this mouse, make sure you are using it within the appropriate range of the receiver. When inside the appropriate range, the tracking substantially improved and was far better than the tracking I was used too with my previous wireless mouse. There is a little bit of cursor jitter upon setting the mouse back down on whatever surface you are using it on. If you are the "slide and lift" type of mouse user, you may find this slightly irritating. I pick my mouse up frequently and place it back down on my mouse pad when tracking, and I quickly became used to the little stutter the cursor has when using the mouse this way. It's an extremely small cursor movement, but noticeable nonetheless. In addition, this mouse does not work with very light surfaces, glass or granite countertops. It does work with the darker wood grain color of my desk however. I would recommend using a mouse pad if your desk or tracking area isn't on the darker side. Other than these few minor issues, the mouse does track very well, and performs more than adequately for the current price of around $25 to $30 dollars. (The full retail price is $40 dollars, according to Logitech's website)
If you are looking for a reasonably priced full-size wireless use for use with your laptop on-the-go, or even if you want something permanent for your desktop that won't break the bank, the Logitech M510 should definitely enter into your considerations. With two year battery life, quality buttons, a solid build and good tracking, the M510 is definitely a high quality peripheral that should last for years.

Excellent mouse, but new version with new control panel does not allow application specific button/wheel assignment
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2015
The Logitech M510 replaced a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 with a left button gone intermittent. I was looking for something with similar heft, basic wireless functionality, and reliability. The M510 is a pleasure to use, but be aware that you cannot make application-specific assignments to the buttons and wheel. (In the screenshot of the Options software for the M510, note that the "Application Specific" option normally found top right is missing.)GOOD CHOICE AS SIBLING MOUSE TO OTHER LOGITECH DEVICES:A good experience with the M325 travel mouse combined with Logitech's solid Unifying Receiver technology led me to the M510. The unifying receiver works alongside Bluetooth but without the driver and performance problems faced with Bluetooth 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 on laptops and desktops ranging in age from 2007 to 2015. Logitech allows up to six devices per receiver. For a laptop that spends some of its time on the main desk, some at a standing desk, and some at coffee shops and client sites, the ability to fire up either mouse and have it work is one task when changing work locations.SIZE, SHAPE, MASS:Ergonomically, the M510 is a standard size mouse, slightly narrower and shorter than the old Intellimouse. One worry that failed to materialize was the loss of right-handed asymmetry, which I don't miss at all. I rarely use auxiliary mouse buttons, and the two slim left-side buttons--the only concession to right-handedness of most consumers--I customized via Logitech Options software (oddly, a separate component from the Setpoint software required to customize the M325) to Volume Up/Down, useful as replacements for the difficult-to-find volume meta-key controls my particular laptop (HP 640).My regular use of an M325 and a mousepad with an elevated wrist cushion has over the years nudged me toward using my upper fingers and fingertips instead of a grip closer to and more in contact with the palm. Only those with small hands or children could use the M325 with a palm grip. The M510 is definitely longer, wider, and heftier, but still smallish for larger hands.With two batteries, the mouse has a nice heft, which can be a nice change from using a lighter travel mouse. The device will operate on one battery if less mass is desired.TRACKING ON SURFACES:The mouse works well on all mousepads and on finished wood. On glass, the performance is touchier and the mouse does not glide as smoothly. Not tested as "couch mouse' on fabric or skin (eew, anyway).I could have continued using just the M325 for all my computer time, but as a telecommuter who spends 50-80 hours per week with database tables and spreadsheets, I like to mix up my work environments by switching among desks, chairs (or no chair, at a standing desk). I do this to ensure I'm not settling into one potentially harmful constant usage pattern. I extend this variety to my choice of keyboard and pointing device. At the risk of sounding like a Logitech shill, I enjoy switching among big mouse (M510), little mouse (M325), and the built-in laptop Synaptics trackpad (and until my most recent laptop update, a pointing stick).WEB SITE:The noteworthy Logitech registration process allows you to enter the serial number, purchase date, vendor, and even allows an upload of the receipt. The warranty expiration date comes up for all devices registered. This feature is appreciated in a world where most of us have dozens of electronic devices with various warranty lengths purchased at different times. I may not always have occasion to test Logitech's customer service, but if I do, I know I can go back to the support site and find my warranty expiration and even have the proof of purchase receipt already in their system (says the world's not-quite-most-interesting reviewer). The receipt upload combined with the live warranty expiration date is one of the better ideas I've seen on any electronic device manufacturer's support site.SOFTWARE SUPPORT (beyond built-in drivers)A minor quibble is that different software packages are required for different mouse products (specifically, SetPoint for the M325 and the overly-generically named "Options" for the M510). Both installed without a hitch in Windows 7 Pro. The M510 works well with the stock Windows driver; install the Logitech software only if you need to change settings not available in the stock control panel.The "Logitech Unifying Sofware" must be installed to register another Logitech device on the same receiver, a quick and simple process.PROs:The click on both left and right is consistent and easy to long-press or double-click.Directional buttons are reasonably convenient, if a little awkward at first. They take a fairly deep stroke, and feel a bit spongy.Two batteries but can operate on one, if a lower mass is preferred.Built-in internal slot to carry Unifying Receiver.Will work with other Logitech devices via Unifying Receiver.No Bluetooth compatibility woes.CONs:Marginally small for those who prefer to whole-hand the mouse.Auxiliary directional buttons might be too awkward, and take a deep press to actuate (listed here again, as for this feature one person's pro might be another's con)Unifying receiver required, which means one USB port is taken. Mouse did work well with the receiver on a hub (Asus PB238Q monitor USB port).No Application Specific settings available in new "Options" software.This mouse (M510) uses "Options" software. M325 uses "SetPoint", which offers more control and is integrated with the WIndows Control Panel. It's a mystery as to why Logitech would choose to dumb down what has been a mouse control panel standard for 20 years, unless they want to force customers to choose a more expensive product. That knocked a star off what would otherwise be a near perfect product.Overall, the M510 is a high quality, reliable device for standard office work and some graphics work (not tested for gaming).

Forward and backward button are much more convenient to control.
The tiny USB stick sits neatly and tightly on the side of my laptop.
The medium size of the mouse is just perfect for my hand.
The on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse is an asset.
The installation is a breeze.

recebi hoje. é um mouse robusto e parte do seu peso vem do par de pilhas. é extremamente bem construído, bonito e visualmente parece muito confiável.
a conexão quando conectado no PC é imediata, sem nenhum problema. é possível ainda instalar o Logitech Options™ para dar novas funções para os botões, extras ou não, que por padrão vêm definidos como avançar e retroceder.
é um mouse grande, como a própria embalagem informa e eu mostro aqui num comparativo com mouse da mesma marca porém modelo M170. pra minha mão o M510 é grande quase sendo desconfortável, mas quase.
para mim, foi uma ótima compra. performance superior ao que eu esperava, já que uso para jogos e tinha lido alguns reviews ruins mas não se aplicaram aqui já que não jogo FPS.
