    Thank you for this great video!! I was debating whether or not I should get the MX 3 or the Ergo Logitech MX Vertical. The reason I am needing a new mouse is because I broke my first M 720! I was attempting to disassemble it for what reason, I can’t remember. I unscrewed the visible screws as well as the ones underneath the black points of contact or the “sliders.” After doing all that I STILL couldn’t get it to release. In a fit of irritation I got it to separate. But not in a way that was conducive to it being a working mouse thereafter. Yes, I broke it. I sheared a plastic column in the center. I proceeded to dissect it so I can have knowledge of how to take it apart in the future if needed. And also see where I went wrong. Apparently underneath the battery there’s that sticker with all the serial serial number, and model number and other information, well underneath, there is an additional screw. The last tiny little screw that ended up screwing me. Nevertheless, I purchased another M720 and received it the other day only to find that it came in a cardboard box, and had a black bottom. I’m not too happy with this as I think it’s a fake. So I will be returning it to Amazon and attempting to get another. While deciding if I wanted another M720 I had been looking at those other options I listed above. But thanks to your awesome video, I’ve decided to stay with the TRIATHLON. I love the thumb gesture button and I also utilize the Left and Right scroll feature. I’ve used and programmed them to minimize windows and close windows in all applications. So instead of having to find that tiny little box in the top left corner on a Mac and click it to minimize windows, I simply Right Scroll in the window it minimizes. To close the window I’ll Left Scroll and it closes. . I use the gesture button and push up with the mouse to increase the volume and down with the mouse to decrease the volume. Gesture button and move mouse to the right is mute, and gesture mouse button to the left is zoom in. When I single press the gesture button one time it accesses launchpad which access all the windows that are open currently on my desktop. This mouse is so cool and the Logitech SetPoint and Logi+ options is just beyond cool and convenient. Its had made using a basic mouse seem like you’re living in the medieval times. There are so many videos on this type of subject matter but yours was the most informative and straightforward. Thank you for being a smart individual and being able to explain this in a simple fashion in under 10 minutes.

I just make the videos and a lot of you find it informative so I am so happy, and I keep making them. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with your M720. Your message makes me want to open up the M720 to see how it works inside. I try not to chase the latest and greatest tech gadget trends which is why my channel is still so small. I recently switched over to the MX Master 3s with silent click, I still miss my M720 and will occasionally switch back to M720. However, when I am using M720, I miss the horizontal scroll wheel on the MX Master 3s. Stuck between to mice now. 😊

    I've had the M720 for 4-5 years and I've been using it casually to control my PC/TV setup from the couch. It still works great, never had any connection problems at ~3-5 meter distance. And the battery life is insane. I don't think I've ever changed the battery, maybe once a few years ago, even though I leave it powered on all the time instead of turning it off. In Logi Options it still says that the battery is full haha. I highly recommend the mouse. Great product and great review.

    I have been using the M720 Triathlon mouse for several years for both my work and personal laptops. Recently I had to buy another M720 to replace the unit at work which was failing. When I ordered a new M720, I noticed that Logitech has changed the material which is used on the top and 2 sides of this mouse. The newer material is more of a grippier rubberized material, compared to the older material for previous M720's I had purchased before, which was a smoother type of plastic on the top and 2 sides. The newer rubberized material is annoying, because when I move my right hand from the keyboard back to the mouse, the smoother plastic allowed my hand to just effortlessly slide and fall back into place without any problems. Many times the more grippy rubberized texture of the newer M720 catches my thumb as I move my hand back on the mouse. That and many times my 4th and smallest finger catch the right side of the mouse on the more rubberized material, and then I have to quickly reposition my hand on the mouse to make sure the mouse is in place. There seems to be variations on the M720 depending on where you order this mouse, with differences in the rubberized material and 1 other change to the overall build. The M720 which I purchased from Amazon this week also was completely black, including the bottom of the mouse, compared to the 2 older M720's I have which are white on the bottom with only the 3 mouse feet being black. The All black bottom acts the same way on the newer M720 as the older models, there is no difference in this aspect. The big difference is in how tactile and grippy the new rubberized material is on the unit that was ordered on Amazon. One other thing to note, is that the M720 that was ordered from Amazon came in a small cardboard box, and did not have any plastic packaging. Just for the hell of it, I ordered another M720 from Best Buy. This unit came in the plastic packaging which I was familiar with when I purchased the M720 before. Additionally this unit from Best Buy had the white bottom with the 3 black feet which is the same as the older models. One other difference - even though the new unit purchased from Best Buy also had the more grippy rubberized plastic on the 2 sides and top, the material on this unit was machined or manufactured with a smoother feel and was not nearly as grippy as the Triathlon mouse which was purchased from Amazon. So, the unit which was purchased from Amazon is going back, and I will keep the new M720 from Best Buy. I realize this is a lot of detail, but I wish that Logitech would have left the Triathlon mouse the same way it used to be, with the smoother feeling plastic instead of changing it. Like the old saying is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I am going to try this new M720 from Best Buy and see how it goes. I might switch back to the Logitech M705 Marathon mouse if the new material is too much of a difference.

    Based on the hype and recommendations, I went and bought an MX Master 3S (and the MX Keys keybaord to go with it). I wanted the MX Master 3S specifically for its ability to switch automatically between devices. When I got it home, I found it immensely frustrating as its automatic switching ability rarely worked, causing me to have to flip the mouse over and push the button on the underside every single time I wanted to switch computer (which was about every few minutes). Fed up with that situation, I went and bought the M720 Triathlon mouse. This device works exactly as I hoped. The MX Master 3S will be finding its way out of the door very shortly.

M720 is quite as capable as the MX Master and definitely more portable too, without compromising too much features. I am about to do videos on Logitech M187 and M350 pebble portable mice. They are a bit too basic without horizontal scrolling and without the main thumb gesture button.

    Hi there, thanks for your support. Apologies I won't be able to make the video by 8/8. Our city in Australia is currently in lockdown until Sunday and the MX Master 3 mouse is not with me. I will try to answer all your questions here. The MX Master 3 horizontal wheel has some good weight to it, which means we can do fine precise scrolling effortlessly. With different applications, the scrolling can be customised to do other adjustments like zooming in/out and volume up/down etc. 1. Yes they are the same. M720 is sometimes called M720 triathlon mouse, just another name. 2. These are the customisable buttons: MX Master 3 has 6 customisable buttons: Gesture Thumb button Vertical scroll wheel button The button behind vertical scroll wheel horizontal scroll wheel Back button forward button M720 has 6 customisable buttons: Gesture Thumb button Vertical scroll wheel button Vertical scroll wheel left button Vertical scroll wheel right button Back button Forward button 3. MX Master horizontal scrolling is the best if you want to use applications like Microsoft Excel. MS Excel is one of the preset applications in Logitech Option software. We do horizontal scroll on the M720 by clicking left and right on the vertical scroll wheel, which will move the spreadsheet in steps. MX Master horizontal scrolling is definitely a lot smoother with finer movements and fast movements at your fingertips. 4. Yes it does. Hope this explanation helps. Let me know if you need more information.

    @Rufio80 I just tested it out for you. The M720 is requires lesser strength to press the middle mouse button on the scroll wheel, just slightly. Now having said that I have the MX 3S which most likely is different from MX 3, so we might be comparing apple and orange. To be honest, The MX 3S hasn't taken over the position of my favourite mouse yet, my favourite mouse is still the Logitech M720.

    Hi, I got the M720 a few days ago, and i really do like it, however I have noticed when I move the mouse right and left on the mouse pad, the scroll wheel knocks the side and makes a clicking sound. So I have returned it waiting for a new one. I was wondering if this was happening on either of you M720 mouse? So I was wondering if this is the normal thing for the M720 or not? Also I was wondering if this mouse can use horizontal scrolling with logi options+ (using side button + scroll wheel) instead of the tilt wheel?

    No, both my m720 don't have the issue you mentioned, knocking the side. It sounds like a defect. Have you seen my Logitech M650 Signature mouse video? The m650 has this feature of holding side button while scrolling to do horizontal scrolling. Unfortunately, the m720 triathlon mouse can't do this. I haven't tried out the m720 with Logitech option+ yet.

The middle scroll button follows the original action in the Logi software on my laptop. I had to reconfigure on the laptop to "Copy". This makes sense because usually the USB dongle only receives the middle click signal and sends the signal to the Logi software on the computer. The configured action is on the Logi software localised to the computer in use.

    I've had a M720 Triathlon now for 2 years and 3 months and I do like the mouse overall, but it's showing some wear as the rubberized finish has blistered and peeled off in some areas on the palm. The scroll wheel is my biggest functionality complaint, with the ratchet clicked on it's WAY louder than any other Logitech mouse I've owned over the past 20 years, sounds like I'm out fishing and got a big one on!? Not exactly "Zen" while I'm trying to focus, I find that fairly annoying. Without it on though the wheel has SO much inertia and speed if you're scrolling through a big folder with more than a few hundred files and flick the wheel a bit too fast the folder becomes unresponsive and you're "in for the duration of the ride" until Windows Explorer finally decides to catch up when it hits the bottom of the folder. It's MUCH faster and more precise just to click and drag the slider on the right... The Logitech software is kind of a joke too, it's buggy and sometimes fails to load at startup or crashes, but I've found a much better mouse software for Windows called "X-Mouse Button Control" which lets you remap the buttons with all sorts of custom shortcuts and combinations, can then save that to a config file to put on other PC's. The only thing you still need the Logitech software for is the initial pairing of USB receivers.
