Logitech Corded Mouse M500

One spin is all it takes

Scroll. Lift finger. Repeat. And repeat. And repeat.

Sound familiar? If you’re tired of inch-worming through long documents and Web pages, take hyper-fast scrolling for a spin to fly instead of crawl.

Scroll a lot?

Your spreadsheets and documents are getting longer. Your digital photo and music libraries are bursting at the seams. And you’re glued to long Web pages that have you scrolling and scrolling and …. To get through it all, you’re doing a whole lot of scrolling. We’re talking 26 feet of it in your average eight-hour day, according to a Logitech study.

That’s where hyper-fast scrolling comes in.

A mouse makeover

Your mouse gets the job done. It clicks. It scrolls. It gets you where you want to go. It might even do some fancy things—like zoom or flip documents.

But did you know you can customize your Logitech mouse to work the way you want it to? SetPoint™ software makes it easy.

If you don’t have SetPoint, you can download it here.

If you have SetPoint, open it by clicking on the SetPoint icon (it’s the tiny mouse and keyboard in your tray, if you’re running Windows®). Or, you can select Logitech>Mouse and Keyboard>Mouse and Keyboard Settings from the Windows Start menu

Your buttons, your way

Got a button you just don’t use? You can change its function to suit your needs. Maybe your mouse has a zoom button, but you’d prefer to use it for document flipping. Here’s all you need to do:

Pointer power

Your cursor is under your control with SetPoint. To move the way you want to, you can change the pointer speed and acceleration, turn on pointer trails, and enable Smart Move to automatically move the pointer to the default button in dialog boxes. In some cases, it also lets you adjust the scrolling speed.

Get ready for game time

Gamers, we’ve got a little something for you in there, too. You can enable game detection and choose game mode settings that give you the competitive edge.

Got juice?

Is the end near for your batteries? It’s easy to find out—you just click the Mouse Batteries tab to see how they’re doing. With some mice, it will even let you know how much time they’ve got left.

It all adds up

Do you spend a lot of time with your mouse? Repeating the same hand and arm movements over and over again hundreds, if not thousands, of times a day? Even the littlest difference in design can make a big difference in your comfort.

Logitech mice have all sorts of features that help increase your comfort and help reduce the amount of movement, effort, and strain needed to get around your computer.

A natural fit

If your hand had a choice in the matter, it would naturally take the angle of a handshake when your arm is bent.

We figured nature might be on to something and created mice that are sculpted and sloped to let your hand take a more comfortable, handshake-like position. And that means your hand can relax.

A better grip

You lift and move your mouse again and again, all day long. If it’s hard to hold, it’s going to put a little extra strain on your hand. But don’t worry—we added non-slip rubber grips to many of our mice to increase friction and make it easier for you to hold and grab your mouse without squeezing.

All about angles

Extending your wrists and flexing your fingers for hours may not feel so good. That’s why we make low-profile mice that reduce the angle you need to extend your wrist. And we carefully place controls so that most hands can use them without flexing fingers more than 45 degrees.

Navigating to comfort

Comfort features aren’t the only ones that help your hand out. If you can get where you want to go faster, your hand does less work. Less work equals more comfort.

Hyper-fast scrolling lets you fly through 10,000 lines of a spreadsheet with a single spin of the nearly frictionless wheel—something that would take 1,000 spins and seven minutes to do with a traditional scroll wheel. In the long run, that’s a whole lot less work that your finger has to do.

Want more time-saving controls that can save your hand, too? Side-to-side scrolling plus zoom, application switching, and Forward and Backward buttons all help you do more things with less effort.

Smooth moves

Is your mouse fighting your moves? We’ve got mice with slick, low-resistance feet that allow them to glide more smoothly than your average mouse. When your mouse resists less, you don’t need to work as hard.

The easy track

You can even choose a mouse that doesn’t make you move very much at all. A trackball mouse stays in one place—you just move the ball with your finger or thumb. Plus, customizable buttons help you do more, more easily.

Sensitive to your needs

Some people just need a mouse that works. Others need a mouse that can track on many surfaces. And gamers need a mouse that can give them game-changing precision at any hand speed.

Details, details

There are two kinds of sensors: optical and laser.

Mice with optical sensors track the surfaces beneath them using the available light and an LED lamp.

In 2004, Logitech introduced the first mouse with laser tracking. Laser sensors, compared to optical, produce far more illumination—both of the surface and of the contrast created by, literally, specs of dust on the surface—revealing a wealth of details even on glossy surfaces like highly polished wood. And that means your mouse can track motion precisely on many surfaces, without lags or jitter.

Gaming-grade control

If you’re an expert gamer, pixel-perfect tracking can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Our mice with gaming-grade laser sensors can track at speeds all the way up to 5700 dpi. So when the game is on the line, you’ll get maximum precision, blinding speed, and ultra-smooth tracking.

Track tested

We rigorously test all of our laser mice on a wide variety of surfaces to make sure your mouse is free of tracking flaws.

* Mice with Logitech® Darkfield Laser Technology cannot track on glass that is 4 mm thick or less, which is not much larger than the head of a pin.
