Logitech M170 Wireless Mouse – GREY

Logitech M170 Wireless Mouse Grey – Compact 2.4 GHz Optical Mouse for Everyday Use

The Logitech M170 Wireless Mouse in Grey is a compact, ambidextrous optical mouse that connects via a 2.4 GHz nano USB receiver — no pairing, no software, no cable. It targets office workers, students, and laptop users who want reliable wireless performance without the ongoing cost of battery replacements or the clutter of a wired connection. The grey colourway suits neutral desk setups and shared workspaces alike, and the symmetrical body accommodates both left- and right-handed users without adjustment.

The M170 uses Logitech’s Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology, which delivers a connection range of up to 10 metres (33 feet) with virtually no delays or dropouts. Amazon For users moving between a laptop on a desk and a couch, or working at a distance from a connected device, that range removes a common limitation of entry-level wireless mice. Setup requires only inserting the nano receiver into a USB port — there is no pairing process and no software installation required. Amazon

Battery Life and Power Management

Battery life is a practical consideration for any wireless peripheral. The M170 delivers up to 12 months of use from a single AA battery, supported by an integrated on/off switch and auto-sleep power-saving mode. Croma This significantly reduces the maintenance burden compared to mice that require weekly or monthly battery changes. However, battery life will vary depending on usage intensity and whether the power-saving mode is consistently used.

Sustainability and Compatibility

The plastic components of the grey M170 are made from certified post-consumer recycled plastic, with a minimum recycled content of 59% for this colourway LDLC — a meaningful sustainability attribute for organisations with environmental procurement criteria. The product’s measured carbon footprint is 4.05 kg CO₂e. LDLC

The M170 is compatible with a wide range of operating systems. It works with Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, iPadOS, and Android Amazon, provided the host device has a USB-A port available. For laptops and tablets with only USB-C ports, a USB-A to USB-C adapter is required, as the nano receiver uses a standard USB-A connector. The mouse carries a 3-year limited hardware warranty, which provides assurance for both individual buyers and institutional procurement teams.

Use Cases and Applications

Laptop Users Working Across Multiple Locations

The Logitech M170 Wireless Mouse Grey is well suited to users who work across different environments — at a desk in the morning, in a meeting room at midday, and from home in the evening. The nano receiver stays inserted in the USB port, so there is no setup or re-pairing when moving between locations. Furthermore, the compact form factor fits easily in a laptop bag alongside other accessories without adding meaningful weight. The 10-metre wireless range also accommodates relaxed working positions where the laptop sits at a distance.

Office and Administrative Workstations

In desk-based office roles, the M170 removes the cable management complexity of a wired mouse while maintaining a connection quality comparable to corded alternatives. The optical sensor tracks smoothly across most desk surfaces, reducing the need for a dedicated mouse pad. Additionally, the 12-month battery life means users in managed office environments rarely need to request replacement batteries, which lowers per-unit maintenance overhead. The grey colourway suits neutral office aesthetics without standing out.

Education and Shared Computing

The ambidextrous design and plug-and-play setup make the M170 practical in school computer labs and shared study spaces. Students do not need to configure or install anything — the receiver connects the mouse immediately to any compatible device. Moreover, the durable construction and 3-year warranty reduce replacement frequency in high-use institutional settings. The recycled plastic content also aligns with sustainability commitments increasingly expected of educational institutions.
