Buy this if...

  • You want a comfortable, ergonomic mouse for long productivity sessions with large-to-medium hands
  • You value strong Bluetooth reliability and long battery life over gaming-grade polling rate
  • You'll use thumb/side buttons for screen capture, app-switching, or scrolling workflows

What users love

Skip this if...

  • You have small hands or use a fingertip/claw grip, as several users found it too big or bulky
  • You need high polling rate or precision for gaming or a 144Hz+ display
  • You're not prepared for possible left-click switch failure after the warranty period

Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Comfort and ergonomics win over long-term users. Multiple commenters with years of use, including 3D artists and designers, call it the best mouse for hand fit, especially for larger hands, and say they barely notice its weight. The thumb button is singled out as a life-saver for screen captures. Some fingertip/claw-grip or small-handed users, however, find it too big, bulky, or cramp-inducing, showing fit varies by hand type and grip style.

Left-click button failure is the dominant, recurring complaint. Numerous users report the left (and occasionally right) click becoming unresponsive, intermittent, or double-clicking, typically between 8 months and 2 years of use, often just after the warranty expires. Several call it a known, common issue and express frustration paying a premium price for a mouse that reliably fails, with a few describing failed replacement units repeating the same problem.

Software and connectivity quirks frustrate some users. Complaints include the 125Hz polling rate being poor for high-refresh displays, Logi Options+ being required for ratchet scroll mode and causing gesture conflicts on macOS, polling rate capping lower over Bluetooth on Mac, inconsistent horizontal scroll, and an inconvenient bottom-mounted button for switching paired devices, unlike the easier keyboard equivalent.
