Some say that size doesn’t matter but sometimes small is everything. Just to clarify here and to bring some people’s minds back on track, I am taking about mice here. And this review is of the tiny little Logitech Nano M305 mouse in particular.

Introduction

Anyone who uses a laptop will know that although an integrated mouse pad works and is enough for a few moments of use, it just doesn’t cut it like a real mouse does. It takes a lot longer to move the cursor across the screen, it’s far less accurate and it becomes quite an uncomfortable experience after a few minutes of continual use.

I like many people use a laptop for work purposes and while I’m in the office it sits on a desk and I plug in a keyboard, mouse and second monitor. Then when I’m out and about I leave the keyboard and monitor on the desk and take just the laptop and the mouse. After all the keyboard and monitor on today’s laptops are often of a very good quality especially if you have a laptop with a 17″ screen or bigger.

The Logitech M305 and Nano receiver

In the past taking my mouse with me involved unplugging the receiver to pack it away and plugging in the receiver again when setting back up elsewhere. I even managed on one occasion to snap a receiver by forgetting to remove it from the USB port prior to packing away. This of course is a costly mistake as the receivers are specific to the mouse and so are not replaceable.

So with all this in mind the Logitech M305 seems like an ideal travel solution for the laptop users out there. It has a Nano USB receiver which means that you can leave the receiver in place and it’s not going to get snapped off no matter how much of a hurry you’re in when you pack the laptop away.
