Logitech M171 Wireless Mouse – BLUE

Logitech M171 Wireless Mouse Blue

The Logitech M171 wireless mouse is a compact, ambidextrous 2.4GHz wireless mouse built for everyday computing. It suits students, home users, and office workers who need a reliable, cable-free pointing device without complicated setup. Available in a distinctive Blue colourway, it pairs straightforward functionality with a lightweight, comfortable form.

Freedom Without the Fuss

Setup takes seconds. Simply plug the included nano USB receiver into any available USB port, and the mouse is ready to use immediately. There is no pairing process, no driver installation, and no software required to get started. The Logitech M171 wireless mouse is compatible with Windows 10 and 11, macOS 10.8 or later, Chrome OS, and Linux kernel 2.6+, making it one of the most broadly compatible wireless mice in its class.

The 2.4GHz wireless connection maintains a strong, consistent link at distances of up to 10 metres. Consequently, users can position the receiver conveniently without worrying about signal interruptions or cursor lag. The optical sensor delivers smooth, accurate tracking at 1000 DPI on most surfaces, including desks and notebooks. Line-by-line scroll wheel control further supports precise document navigation.

Built to Last on a Single Battery

One AA battery powers the M171 for up to 12 months under typical use. An on/off switch on the underside of the mouse helps extend battery life further when the device is not in use. Additionally, the mouse enters an automatic sleep mode after a period of inactivity, waking instantly on movement. This combination of power-saving features means battery replacements are infrequent and predictable.

The symmetrical, ambidextrous design accommodates both left- and right-handed users equally well. At 70.5 g with battery installed, the mouse is light enough for extended use without causing wrist strain. Furthermore, button functions can be reassigned via the optional Logi Options+ software on Windows and macOS, allowing basic personalisation where needed.

Use Cases & Applications

Everyday Home and Office Use

The Logitech M171 wireless mouse is well suited to general desktop tasks such as web browsing, document editing, and spreadsheet navigation. Its plug-and-play setup means it works immediately on shared or borrowed computers. The 10-metre wireless range accommodates home office desks, standing desks, and informal couch setups alike. Meanwhile, the 12-month battery life reduces the need to keep spare batteries on hand.

Students and Portable Setups

Students moving between classrooms, libraries, and home benefit from the M171’s lightweight build and compact nano receiver. The receiver stores inside the battery compartment during transit, reducing the risk of loss. Moreover, broad OS compatibility ensures the mouse works across Windows laptops, Chromebooks, and MacBooks without any configuration. The Blue colourway offers a visually distinct option that is easy to identify in a shared bag or workspace.
