What reviewers say

Reviewers praised the comfortable shape, versatile scroll wheels, precise tracking and Logitech Flow across computers. Its weight, price and right-handed shape drew criticism. Laptop Mag found the small thumb buttons awkward, while Windows Central liked their arrangement but criticised the loud clicks.
