## Description

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. This black wireless mouse uses far less power than comparable wireless mice, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.* With its tiny wireless receiver, often referred to as a USB mouse wireless dongle, this PC mouse wireless solution remains plugged into your computer, ensuring your mouse is ready whenever needed. Suitable for those in need of a computer mouse wireless option, it offers hyper-fast scrolling to speed through documents. Enhanced with Advanced Optical Tracking, you'll experience smooth, responsive cursor control across various tasks. The sculpted, right-hand shape provides comfort. Additionally, it functions well as a wireless mouse for gaming sessions or office tasks. Impressive as a wireless mouse for PC, a convenient cordless mouse, or a Bluetooth gaming mouse for leisurely activities, the M705 stands as a strong contender for varied needs.

Review: Comfortable Mouse & Smooth Operation - I bought this Logitech M705 to replace an aging one with a touchy left click button, which was part of a wireless desktop keyboard and mouse package (MK700) that was purchased over a decade ago. So, replacing the old M705 with a new M705 was a no-brainer. After receiving the new M705, I inserted the battery and expected the new mouse to connect to the old Logitech Unifying Receiver automatically. To my surprise, the mouse didn't work, so I plugged in the new USB receiver and the mouse worked, but not the old keyboard. Perplexed, I started looking at desertcart reviews and thankfully I ran across a review from Rudy which helped solve my problem quickly. Turns out I needed to go to logiwebconnect.com to get the new mouse to work with the old unifying receiver. Once I did, I had the new mouse working in a matter of minutes. I saw a lot of negative reviews for the newer version of the M705, but the new mouse build quality is good, it's as comfortable as the old M705, and it works flawlessly for me. The buttons are responsive, the scroll wheel has detents, and there are no issues with random scrolling with the scroll button engaged. I used to work as a PC technician, and my experience is in most cases when there are issues with peripheral devices it ends up being the PC itself, and rarely the peripheral device. Overall, this a great replacement for an aging mouse, wired or wireless, or if you are considering a new mouse. If the battery life matches the original M705, which I'm certain it will, expect to get many years of operation without replacing the batteries.
Review: One of the Best - I've tried other names brands over the years, but always come back to LogiTech. Logitech makes some of the best wireless mice. This recent purchase is my Third M705 mouse. The previous one lasted almost 10 years before it started acting a little quirky. It could have only needed a good cleaning, but for the price it is easier to get a new one. I also recently bought a new computer, because my 9 year old Win 7 HP physically broke at the screen hinge. The well-designed Logitech M705 mouse lasted longer than my last two computers. LOL I love the design and I'm so glad it hasn't changed over the years. The mouse is very comfortable to hold and the buttons and wheel feel like a normal part of my hand. The mouse also has (programmable) side buttons, which are thumb operated for Forward and Back for use in a browser. They can also be easily programmed for reverse operation (whichever seems more natural for the user). Or, they can be programmed for custom commands in programs, besides the standard Forward/Back in Web Browsers. The description says the batteries last up to 3 years, and they literally do, with good quality (Duracell) AA batteries. The mouse also gives an on screen notification when the batteries finally get low. The mouse uses a very small USB dongle (Receiver) to communicate between the mouse and computer. There is no need to Pair devices via Bluetooth. Simply plug in the USB Receiver and start using the mouse. It's truly Plug & Play. It's fortunate that the receiver & mouse are Plug & Play, because the the printed instructions are all but useless. The are no visual diagrams. And the instructions are printed in multiple languages using micro-fine text that is almost illegible. It's worth pointing out that the USB Receiver is hidden inside the battery compartment and is so small it is easily overlooked. It's a good design to prevent losing the receiver when using multiple computers, or taking from home to school/work. But it confused me at first, because I expected it to be a separate item in box, which I thought was missing. Overall, I highly recommend this mouse. I've bought it before and I'll buy it again. UPDATE: To MKay who is getting the 3 blank screens with images of multiple open programs. That is not a error with the Logitech mouse. On some versions of Logitech mice, there is a very small (almost unnoticeable) on the left side at the bottom. It is (by default setting) used to scroll through multiple open programs/windows when the taskbar is hidden. Microsoft Windows 11 (and probably earlier versions, too) has the feature of TaskView (a setting which can be turned off in Taskbar settings). The TaskView has a black & white icon on the Taskbar. It is a very annoying feature IMO! The small (programmable) button on the mouse is most likely activating the TaskView feature - which is exactly as the picture you provided. Don't get mad at LogiTech for an MS Windows feature. Simply turn off TaskView in Taskbar settings, or reprogram the button on the mouse to do something else - and Love your mouse again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does this mouse have a dongle if it is Bluetooth?**
A: You can connect it either way. It's your choice! Personally I prefer Bluetooth, leaving my USB ports open for other things. Others, however, may prefer to keep their Bluetooth radio turned off and use the dongle.

**Q: How do I do Horizontal scrolling on this mouse?**
A: Hi Yin, 

You can also scroll horizontally with the tilt-wheel, perfect for large spreadsheets, big images, and web pages.

**Q: Did anyone experience slow internet when using this mouse?**
A: Thanks to those that responded.  I have a 3.0 USB hard drive that was acting up.  I was considering replacing it until I saw this.  I moved it away from the receiver for my mouse and now it works fine.  Once again... Thanks!

**Q: A few questions.
1. how quickly does this mouse go into sleep mode?
2. how quickly does it wake from sleep mode?
3. can i turn the sleep mode off?**
A: I can’t even tell when my mouse goes to sleep or wakes up. It is pretty much has an instant responses. To my knowledge you can’t turn sleep mode off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everyone knows this is one of the absolute GOATS of Logitech Mice - get one before they're gone...
*by J***I on June 2, 2025*

I've had many Logitech mice over the years I've really loved that were then discontinued. This is a long running mouse that pretty much ALL logitech users just love! And since it's long in the tooth, I'd recommend stocking up while you can. Here's some of the perks, but above all else, it feels so amazing! 1. It's a smallish, very light, simple mouse. I personally don't like the giant gaming mice. This has everything I need, including a scroll wheel you can click between smooth and ratcheted mode. 2. Uses 1 or 2 AA batteries - This gives it incredible battery life - many months at least. And when you do need to replace batteries, it's instant. I keep a pair in my backpack. So much more convenient than having to charge a rechargeable mouse, especially given rechargeable batteries slowly wear out. 3. Works like a dream on Macs with no drivers installed at all! 4. You can stash the wireless USB receiver dongle inside the mouse! Which is priceless. Note that nowadays, I have an Apple Silicon Mac, I have to use a tiny adapter to plug the dongle into a USB-C port. But it's still tiny and convenient. 5. For me, Logitech still hasn't made anything better. I'd love to see a mouse almost like this with a USB-C receiver, but until then, it's as close as it gets to my perfect mouse. I have tons of these all over the place.
