4 Years with The Budget MX Master | Logitech M720 Long Term Review

Ғылым және технология

Reviewing my trusty do-it-all mice. Turning 4 years this 2020 -- I think it's a solid MX Master alternative. Do you agree?
Note: Prices shown are the release prices from Logitech's website. This mouse is even cheaper now as of early 2022

    Thank you for this review. I just got a M720 and was having trouble finding simple explanations for what some of the buttons do - no instructions with the mouse and the pdf skipped certain details - like how to use the gestures button and that that button in the middle switches the scroll (nope, I couldn't figure it out :( ). Then I found your video on Rectangle and you solved another problem for me! Hope you keep making videos and also thank you for not creating some obnoxious KZread personality and just being real.

Real good value I would say 😂

    The left button on my M705 died after four years, but most likely due to a couple of drops. I opted for the M720 as a replacement, as generally I was happy with the M705. Based on the reviews and only for 25% more money the upgrade the M720 meant caught me by surprise. The extra buttons are welcome, right now I use the thumb button to change input languages. Ergonomics is a nice improvement. While the M705 fits my palm quite well, it was not always perfect (8.5/10). The M720 changed its shape just enough to fit in my palm better, pretty much perfect now (9.7/10). The rubber cover feels nice with a good grip, I wonder though how it will withstand time. One battery is also a welcomed change versus two in the M705 (I know, it can be used with one). Overall it is an improvement of 22.5% of battery efficiency. TBH I wouldn't want the hassle of charging built-in battery every few months with the Master line. One of the biggest function upgrades; using three screens I do not care about. Yet, the M720 feels a big enough upgrade to justify the current £40 price as opposed to the £30 on the M705. I am glad, I went with it, mostly for the improved ergonomics and extra, customisable buttons. One thing I do not understand is the white colour choice on the bottom. That for sure will look dirty in a few months. But I guess, there are ways to clean it too. Overall, a happy camper. I hope the M720 will last longer than my M705. Which has most likely lost its left button contact due to the drops (I consider 4 years still a good go). I never thought, I can enjoy a mouse upgrade, but I am. :)

    Do you mean to use the usb receiver and bluetooth on one machine at the same time? I think this isn't possible. Technically the mouse can only use one of the three channels at a time -- so either tune to the usb receiver or to the bluetooth channel, not both. I generally advise using the usb receiver for heavy-duty use though as it offers lower latency compared to bluetooth (but I can only feel this when gaming).

The other are holding up well, and I can differentiate that those have a thinner, smoother, more subtle rubber feeling coat, while the ones that are now very sticky had a thicker-feeling coat, which were already a little bit sticky when they were still brand new.

    You need to pair it again to the unifying receiver. To do that, download and install Logitech Unifying Software, run it, plug the receiver, restart the mouse. The app will have on screen instructions so just follow through it. You can uninstal the app afterwards. Let me know how it goes!

    Among the three: MX Anywhere is good for those who need portability and small form factor, which is not your case. So, if budget is not a concern, I'd say go for the MX Master . But if you don't want to spend much, then the M720 really is a great pick. I think you'll find great use of the free-spin mode scroll wheel, worry-free 24-month battery life, 5-6 customizable buttons, connect up-to 3 devices, etc.

    @@earlmalaki Sorry for the translation by Google Translate ;) 3 is not for me due to: 1) too low side buttons - I keep my thumb on them, but maybe it's a matter of my habit and also profiling this thumb support a bit? 2) angular shape on the right side of the side roller - people who have a tendency to grasp the mouse further (keep their entire hand on the mouse so that the index finger does not (or hardly) reaches the retracted roller) this angular shape will be painful. If the old mouse gets used to the grip, where it was not turned to the right, but straight, then this shape is a torment. 2S, first of all, does not have this angular shape, but it is nicely contoured, there are also no side buttons so low, but I am still annoyed by the thumb rest and the recessed side buttons so that you have to press them with a part of your thumb before bending

    tough call too haha but a few things to consider: - you have to flip the mouse over to switch to other devices on the 2s since the button is under, unlike the m720 which is on the side - I've read a lot of feedback that the side buttons on the 2s is slightly too tucked in, making it hard to reach/press especially for people with longer thumbs. - 2s has horizontal scroll when, the m720 doesn't
