Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse – Graphite
The Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse in Graphite is a compact, receiver-free wireless mouse built for everyday use on laptops and tablets. It connects directly over Bluetooth — no USB dongle required — making it a practical choice for users working on slim devices with limited ports. The neutral Graphite finish suits professional desk setups and corporate environments where understated hardware is preferred.
Bluetooth Without the Dongle Problem
Nano USB receivers are easy to lose and take up a port. The M196 pairs over Bluetooth directly from your device’s settings. Press and hold the power button until the LED blinks, select the mouse in your Bluetooth menu, and you’re working within seconds. Consequently, it is well suited to hotdesking setups and environments where devices rotate between users.
A Mouse That Travels Light
The M196’s compact footprint drops easily into any laptop bag or backpack. Its symmetrical shell positions either hand in a natural grip, so left- and right-handed users get equal comfort. Furthermore, the single AA battery powering the device lasts up to 12 months — meaning most users will change it once a year at most.

Use Cases & Applications
Corporate and Hotdesk Environments
The M196 Graphite is particularly well suited to open-plan offices, shared workstations, and corporate hotdesking arrangements. Bluetooth pairing takes seconds, and there is no receiver to manage or misplace between users. The neutral Graphite finish integrates cleanly with standard corporate hardware. Moreover, Windows displays the battery level when the mouse is paired, giving IT-conscious users visibility over device status.
Travel and Remote Work
Remote workers and frequent travellers benefit from the M196’s compact size and dongle-free design. There is no small receiver to lose in transit, and the mouse pairs with both Windows and macOS systems without software installation. However, users with ChromeOS devices should confirm Bluetooth HID compatibility with their specific model before purchasing.
