The Logitech M100 is a sturdy, lightweight office mouse that doesn’t have a lot of features on offer to keep it in line with its entry-level price. The wired-only mouse is great for basic use and works quite well on most systems.

Overview

Announced in early 2017, the Logitech M100 mouse is a standard, entry-level, wired computer mouse with a sensitivity rating of 1000 DPI for precise tracking and smooth cursor control, making it great for office use.

This basic office mouse doesn’t offer high-end features like customizable buttons or companion software as some best mouse products do, but it uses optical LED technology for tracking and has three buttons.

It is only available in a black color option, and unlike the wireless Logitech M170 (which we’ve covered in our Logitech M170 wireless mouse review), it is wired, which might be limiting to some.

The 3-button USB wired optical mouse can be used by left and right-handed individuals courtesy of its full-size, ambidextrous shape, and it has a scroller wheel with 16 steps. It is also compatible with both Mac and Windows OS, but unfortunately, the ambidextrous mouse has a loud click sound.

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The sturdy Logitech M100 is a sleek and versatile office mouse suitable for both right and left-handed users. Its size and shape make it ideal for small-handed users applying a fingertip grip, and, weighing only 90g, it offers easy maneuverability for long yet comfortable working sessions.

The M100 also boasts a maximum DPI of 1000 for precise cursor control, which is good enough for most office tasks. The wired mouse lacks a rubber grip for added comfort, so large-handed users may not be able to apply a palm or claw grip.

There’s also no customization for this mouse, and with a tested click latency of 24.7ms, its responsiveness compares well to other office mice.

Nonetheless, it is a plug-and-play mouse compatible with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux systems.

The Logitech M100 is a wired mouse, while on the other hand, the Microsoft Arc Mouse is wireless. The Microsoft Arc also has one programmable input, while the M100 has none, but the M100 has three buttons compared to the Microsoft Arc’s two. Also worth considering is that the Microsoft Arc has a tactile surface in place of a scroll wheel, which is present on the Logitech M100. If the Microsoft Arc sounds interesting, go ahead and check it out in our Microsoft Arc Mouse Review.

The Logitech M100 is a standard mouse, while the Logitech Lift has a vertically-oriented form factor. The M100 also works with right- and left-handed individuals, but the Logitech Lift is designed for right-handed users. Owners of the Logitech Lift will also be able to program up to four different inputs, giving it a serious edge over the M100, which does not allow for any customization of its inputs. Feel free to explore more about the Logitech Lift in our Logitech Lift Vertical Mouse review.

While they are both wired, the Logitech M100 has a higher sensitivity rating of 1000 DPI than the Logitech B100, rated at 800 DPI. Other than this major difference, the two also ship in different color options, as the M100 is only available in grey, while the B100 is sold in black.
