Logitech M510 Wireless Mouse

A comfortable, long lasting office mouse; skip it for gaming or left-handed use.

The short version

Buy it if
  • Office and home desk users with medium to large hands who want a full-size wireless mouse
  • Anyone who would rather swap AA batteries every year or two than recharge a mouse
  • People who already use other Logitech Unifying devices
Skip it if
  • You play games or need high DPI tracking on a large monitor
  • You are left-handed and rely on thumb buttons
  • You want a lightweight mouse for travel

What owners like

  • Comfortable for long workdays thanks to the large contoured shape
  • Batteries last a very long time between swaps
  • Extra thumb buttons and the tilt wheel are handy for browsing and spreadsheets
  • Solid feel for the money, especially when bought on sale

Common complaints

  • Tracking can be uneven on some desk surfaces compared with basic optical mice
  • Heavier than many mice because of the two AA batteries
  • Side buttons sit on the left, so it suits right-handed users better than the symmetrical shape suggests
  • 1000 DPI is too slow for gaming or very large, high resolution displays

Based on Logitech's product and end of life spec pages, a long form review on djitz.com and an editorial review on DeviceRated.

What it does

A full-size wireless office mouse that runs on two AA batteries and connects through a Logitech Unifying USB receiver; Logitech now lists it among its end of life mice, so remaining stock comes from retailers.

  • Full-size sculpted body with rubber side grips and a palm rest area
  • Back and forward thumb buttons plus a rubber scroll wheel that tilts for sideways scrolling
  • On and off switch and auto sleep to stretch the rated 24 month battery life
  • Unifying receiver can pair up to six compatible Logitech devices
  • Buttons can be remapped in Logitech's Options software

A comfortable, low cost pick for desk work where long battery life and back and forward buttons matter more than precise tracking. The trade-offs are a tracking sensor that some reviewers found inconsistent on certain surfaces, a 1000 DPI ceiling that feels slow on large high resolution screens, and the fact that Logitech has moved it to its end of life list.
