Definitely a good sub mouse to pair with my mx keys. Fluid movement, thank you for the review
Yooooo, couldn't agree less. The M720 is pretty much an MX master mouse without the horizontal scroll wheel, and a more premium finish :D It's a steal when you buy the MK850 combo, 2-in-1 !
Great review, love the lighting and the whole production. Try to speak a little bit slower though.
Hey Raymond, appreciate your feedback! Will remind myself to speak slower 🥲 thanks for stopping by!
Yeah I realy liked the video and for some reason i'm watching this review after bought the mouse and not before lol but still I've watched it with 0.75 speed since I'm also not a native english speaker
@@MWRotary hahah!! Happens to me as well. Starts watching videos of the product I have just bought to, find out more about it 🤣 yes sir! Already taken note to speak slightly slower for the general audience! We speak pretty fast here in Malaysia 🙏🏼 thanks for stopping by yooooooo
Awesome video- well articulated! love it!
Hey James, appreciate you stopping by! ☺️☺️
The production quality is amazing man, well done! Definitely see a lot of sucess coming your way! Just a tip, as another guy said, slowing down your speech will help balance the video out a bit more, as it can be a bit hard to understand you at some points.
Shame it doesn't include a rechareable internal battery like the MX Anywhere series. That's the only thing I'd say would tip my decision towards the MX Anywhere 2s over this.
Hey TBD ! Appreciate your feedback ! Yes sir, I will speak slower for my upcoming videos. Or simply don't speak 😂
I have never used rechargeable mouse till this day. I kind find using AA or AAA batteries to be more versatile because you can get instant battery life instead of waiting to charge when it dies XD
(Edit: Thanks for stopping by !!)
@@kendidshoots That's true, though the Logitech MX anywhere and MX Master can be used while charging, and you can actually get 3 hours of use from 1 minute charge if your battery is dead, so you won't be charging long!
@@TBD_Teebs that’s pretty good ! You’ll save bucks from buying batteries 😂 thanks for the info !
@@TBD_Teebs I have the original Mx Master and after about 3 years of use I'm now having to charge it every 3 weeks. Compare that with swapping a battery once every year or 2... it's worth considering that eventually the battery will hold less charge, and you'll have to charge it more and more often. That's why I'm considering a removable battery mouse. Less hassle!
Superb production quality
Appreciate it a lot mate ! thank for stopping by
I got mine a few days ago woot! Thanks for the review :) I noticed that the mice pointer jumps randomly. It does not happen all the time but it's a bit frustrating.
Hey Jane, been facing Some stutters when using it with Mac OS. Windows platform is flawless! What OS are you using right now?
@@kendidshoots Will this mouse work on an x-ray glass pad?
Can you answer what OS are you using?
Bro thankyou so much! I purchased the mouse and it's the best!
Hey yooooo, glad you did. It is a phenomenal mouse with Tilt Right/Left on the scroll wheel.
Love that feature!! Anyways, Thanks for stopping by, appreciate it a lot !
Nice review
I just got this mouse. I thought it would be able to side scroll well on the iPad Pro especially on the Home Screen through the different app pages but for some reason its super slow :(. Do you have this issue too?
Also is there a way to customise all the extra buttons on the iPad?
Hey Gum Gum ! There are settings hidden in iPad OS. You can assign each button to perform certain tasks. Check out this link: blog.airsquirrels.com/screen-mirroring/the-ultimate-guide-to-customizing-your-mouse-with-ipados-mouse-support
Scrolling speed can also be adjusted
Accessibility > Pointer Control > Scrolling Speed
Wow very good camera quality
Hey EmadAsadi, appreciate it ! Thanks you for stopping by ☺️
near perfect for home/pc combination use. very quick bluetooth switching between devices. i bought this mouse because of its unique feature in the market (even today 2023) having the rf/bluetooth switch button accessible via the thumb. allows me to switch between my work laptop and home PC in milliseconds. Other 2.4Ghz/bluetooth combo mice have their buttons underneath and so not as quick/handy to switch between devices. the dual mode hyperscroll wheel was the surprise feature I didn't know I was looking for. very handy for office and browsing! only real letdown is the clicker started failing after 3 years. i hope they re-release this with bluetooth 5.1/5.2 and possibly a gaming-level clicker mechanism.
Dude, literally my thoughts!
1. Bluetooth switching on the thumb
2. Hyperscroll
3. Middle scroll wheel tilting! (Which you left out)
Now if Logitech released a silent click m720 mark ii. I will buy it in a heartbeat.
Thanks for taking the time to write this comment Dude! Appreciate it a lot. Have a good one ❤️
Isn't the switch button too close to back button? Don't you click on it by accident too often?
@@ruchango indeed in the beginning i was accidentally clicking it but adjusted after a week or so. i can imagine it can get annoying for gamers which is why it is not a popular design option.
I have a surface book, a gaming pc, a zenbook duo, and a galaxy tab s9 ultra. I currently use 2 keyboards and 2 mice but I have a gap in terms of connecting to one of the 4 devices. I may get this out of pure ocd for wanting the setup to feel complete. I partly have so many devices because when I travel I can use my 2 screen laptop with the tablet as an external display. I find it difficult and uncomfortable to program with only one monitor. It may look like overkill but I definitely use my ultrawide, my regular monitor and my samsung smart monitor all the time. Having the tablet lets me write notes and I no longer need to print anything. I dont use the surface book that often but it is nice to have in case I want a laptop that doesnt require an intense GPU. The battery lasts longer, the screen can reverse when watching videos, and it doesnt heat up as much so I can use it on my lap or on a bed. I think I am pretty much covered for all my tech needs. I basically do this with all products so that I can have the device I need for the specific use. I have a gaming headset for video calls and gaming, a bose 700 noise cancelling for regular music listening, and airpod pros for running or for easier carrying. It may seem unnecessary but I feel like I legitimately use all these devices fairly often. I am wondering if anyone else out there has a similar setup when it comes to tech products?
If connected between two devices only. Switching to other devices feels cumbersome compared to m585/m590. Here you have to activate the switching with first click, then have to choose the right device based on the order( if you have are on device, to switch to device 2 you have to click twice in total, and to switch from device 2 to one you have to click thrice). With m585/m590 just click once, as simple as that.
Hey there, yeah for sure. The M720 is a more common 3-device switching mouse. To compare it with a mouse that has only-2 device max is a little unfair. IMO, the initial press on the bluetooth switch button just indicates which device you are currently one, and you'd have to cycle through all the numbers to switch. It is pretty much a NORM to cycle thru numbering like this. So it is a cherry on top on the M585/590 but not necessarily a con for the M720.
Hi!
How's the left mouse button now?
Regular Logitech mice tend to wear down easily, it starts to register a single click as a double-click 😖.
I'm thinking of buying this one but I'm afraid that it might start acting weird in just a year.
Hi Rendell, Left button has no problem the last time I use it, just the peeling on the sides. Made another video just talking about it, maybe you can find it on the channel
If there was a slow motion button to understand what you are saying it would be great. Thanks anyway for putting an effort doing this video.
Sorry about that, been flooded with comments asking me to talk slower XD
perhaps subtitles will help?
You should get more subs, you setup is awesome ! and you got my subs...
looking forward for another video
if i may, slow down your speech lil bit.. and the rest is all great
Hey Darmawan, thank you so so much. Appreciate your feedback. Yes, I will remind myself to "calm tf down" and speak slowly 😥
lit review
Hey Ana, thanks for stopping by! Glad it was helpful
Had this, bought the MX MASTER 3S, used it for 10 minutes, and sold it, went back to the M720. the MX wasn't comfortable at all, made my hand hurt.
Yikes, tbh the m720 is one of the best mouse I’ve ever used. period. I have the mx master 3, tho I am blessed with good strong wrist, no pain for me, but having to switch Bluetooth device under the mx master 3 was a hassle🥲
@@kendidshoots haha yeah, lifting the mouse every time is really not such a good design decision
Does the mouse + Keyboard switch devices when selected on one device or do you have to individually change for both devices?
Sorry for the late reply ! Yes, it does auto switch for both devices
Does this mouse have dedicated middle mouse button or is it just Vertical and horizontal
scroll with hyper scrolling? I’ll be using it for 3d work in 3dmax, blender
Hey Ameya, there is a middle button to click. And there's another button to enables hyperscroll or regular scroll~!
@@kendidshootsThanks!
Can the mouse connect to all three devices using Bluetooth only, ie. not using the USB dongle at all. Thanks for the video! 👌🏽
Hey Azlan, unfortunately device 1 must be connected via USB by default. Don’t have a way to change it as far as I know 😬
@@kendidshoots You can! Just hold the pairing button when the light is on (1) until the light blinks quickly, you can pair it to Bluetooth that way.
If you want to reconnect again with the USB dongle, you just need to use the logitech unifying software to pair it again.
Did the rubberized finish stand the test of time or Is it starting to peel or become shiny? That's my only concern. Can you please give me an update? Thanks.
Hey Marius, the side rubber kinda melted away over time. Go look up my channel, recent video explains about it ! sorry for the late reply too
Can you please review the problem with the double click on the right mouse button and left mouse button as for me it does not work on them but on the side buttons it does
Hey man, so far I have not come across any double clicking issue. Like never ever.
Maybe you can try and check out these solutions from link below. Skip number 5 lol (you'll have to dissemble the whole mouse)
appuals.com/fix-logitech-mouse-double-clicking/
Logitech customization supports Ubuntu??
The reason I was interested in this mouse is for 4 reasons:
1. Multipoint connection
2. Bluetooth with not usb dongle needed
3. Price
4. Easy accessible device switching button
Based on your review, even though it’s Bluetooth, this mouse still requires that the user uses the usb dongle?
Hey JD, the M720 mouse if connected to bluetooth doesn't require the dongle. Simply saying, Device 1 is hardwired to the USB Dongle, and Device 2/3 is bluetooth. There is no way to change this as far as I know. So you use this mouse without the USB dongle paired via Device 2 or Device 3~!
@@kendidshoots thanks for the clarification.
@@kendidshoots I have just cancelled and ordered 3 different mice from amazon, settling ON THIS ONE...and it was SUPERBLY IMPORTANT it had this feature, it was why I was searching your video...thumbs up all around :)
@@kendidshoots are you sure? I own a Logitech M590 that supports a dual BT connection and I can confirm the 'dongle' is not needed at all, furthermore by looking here:
ruclips.net/video/Q8-UDskT-Pc/видео.html
I see that the video owner connects 3 different devices without the 'dongle' as well. Did you actually test this?
@@DoubleThom Appreciate your time, i can confirm that device 1 (default with the dongle) can be paired via bluetooth. The dongle simply acts as a bluetooth receiver. So you can actually have all 3 bluetooth connected without the dongle. Thanks for bringing this up.
Greaaat video
Hey Techno, appreciate your feedback ! Thanks for stopping byy
I was looking Logitech G304/305 as it was in same price range but then ordered the M720 cause i like the scroll that is just like my wired G502.
I dont play games and this G602 is also something 3 plus years old by now. I was just wanting to get a wireless mouse for everything other then gaming.
First i got me a cheap wireless built in battery and it was like once in a week or two needed charging. Then i tried Rapoo MT550 cause it had the AA battery option.
Built in battery is no go for me. I want to change the battery as these dont work forever. But that Rapoo that is basically some Logitech copy cat brand or something that basically do same design like Logitech have. But it's scroll is skipping and that is really annoying. So i was looking the G304 cause it takes 1xAA battery and then this pop up in search and it have the 2 things i like as thumb rest and scroll that can switch to free roll while also have that left to right moving that helps a lot in photoshop. That DPI or switch between devices button is a bit weird place so i hope i wont hit it easy. Kind of lame place for that function but well nothing is perfect. Reading manhwa is a serious scroll killer.
Appreciate your time typing this long feedback !!
Nothing is perfect is an understatement hahaha.. all it needs is software support for macros, and it will be golden . Thanks for your time
i am thinking to buy this mouse.. and i already have a mx keys that uses unifying dongle.. but my main concern is if i press the device change key on the keyboard, will the mouse follow and vice verca. i couldn't find anything related to this matter on the internet please help.
apart from this the video is really helpful.
Hey there ! unfortunately the device switching on the keyboard and the mouse is INDEPENDENT. And it does not switch automatically. However you are using the Logi Options connected with both the peripherals. When using the Flow function from device 1 to device 2 by simply dragging across the screen, as soon as the mouse is detected on Device 2, the keyboard will switch over as well. IF I AM CORRECT. Honestly cannot remember, and i dont have the combo set with me at the moment and I apologize for it !!
great and well explained video 👍👍
Question: does anyone know of a logitech model that is re-chargeable with easy-switch on top or on the side and can pair with up to three devices ?
Ayy
@@kendidshoots many thanks 👍🏾👍🏾
Hi. can you use it with Mac and iPad at the same time?
Hey Hilal, at the same time, no. At A time, yes. you'll have to switch between device 1 and 2. There isn't Logitech Options (Flow) on the iPad as far as I know, we would have to wait for MacOS Monterey with Continuity feature, only then it might be possible!
Does anyone keep getting jumps and stutters when using this mouse on USB? Especially when there's hard drive activity? That's the only complaint I have about this mouse. But, I can't tell if it's a dongle problem or a problem with the actual mouse. I've already gone through two pairs so I'm wondering if this is happening with other people.
Hey Amit, it was smooth on the Windows PC, but on the M1 Mac, it's horrible. stutters so much :
@@kendidshoots The USB stutter happens on both Windows and macOS. I have an Intel MacBook but it also happens on my desktop as well. The bluetooth stutter only happens on macOS though but it's not as bad as USB
The side of my mouse start peeling after using for 1++years. It's annoying. Don't know what to do.
💚
if i don't move my mouse for 5 seconds, once i got to move it, it jumps. I couldn't find a way to fix this. Will most likely return it if i can't find a work around. Its like it is going to sleep after 3-5 seconds to conserve battery.
Hi, I am looking for an office mouse I have looked at Logitech max 3 and m650 do u have any recommendations ?
If you have the budget the MX master 3 is an overrated productivity beast. Lot’s of customisation
Which one would you recommend buying either m720 or m705? I’ll be using especially for 3D modeling like cad, sketch up, revit and so on
Feel free to suggest🙌
Hey Colin! Hands down m720 simply being a way newer model mouse!! Link below for full comparison:
www.rtings.com/mouse/tools/compare/logitech-marathon-mouse-m705-vs-logitech-m720-triathlon/7338/21482
@@kendidshoots thanks a bundle 🙌
Will do check it out
which do yoou recommend, this one or M650?
Hey, I’m not too sure about the M650 but it sure looks comfy and compact. Smaller than the M720.
Does your wheel wobble too? It feels like it is very loose and moves side to side.
Hey Montepaso, the side to side is meant to click for a function. Greatly missed this function especially on the MX master 3 😓. Doesn’t wobble too much if I remember correctly
@@kendidshoots i know it click but before click it has a couple mm free move. It feels loose.
Is it optimal for a bit larger hands?
Hey Yash~ yeah it's pretty large, my hands are pretty big as well! fits pretty well
I owned this mouse and it lasted for 5 years till the right click gets faulty. Guess what? I bought it again instead of the Mx Master/ Anywhere. This mouse is the perfect balance of price, size, features and comfort.
Amazing, I am really tempted to buy it again, and you know the main reason? The Bluetooth switch button is on TOP !! And the lean right/left on the middle scroll button is OP
Great comment, exactly what I was contemplating, cheers 🍻
@@kendidshootsmy vain brain wanted me to buy the Mx master 3, but my practical brain said the m720 would suit my slightly smaller hand better. After buying I immediately regretted this cost saving measure (m720 was one third price of Mx master). But as soon as got my hands on the m720 and easily set up my 3 different devices using the switching button I forgot entirely about the Mx master. Using it together with Mx keys mini keyboard.
I got the same mouse but my mouse has a black bottom but otherwise its still the same it has the same features and stuff thanks bro
Hey elmo, Nice !! Overall a solid mouse ! Thanks for stopping by!!
Its a more selling video rather than a review after 1.5 years. I'd like an honest feedback including pros and cons.
Hey Mantas, I think the 1.5 year review and the price justification for the mouse is summarised as pretty good. All the function it has to offer is enticing, especially with the MK850 bundle is worth the money imo
Mine broke down just a few days after warranty, started double click heavily..
Is this mouse still the best mouse available for switching between 2 computers?
Easier yes. For the combo with the mouse
nice video NICE VERY NICE...
Hey yo fannypack ! Thank you so much for the words of encourgaement ! and thanks again for stopping by ! have a great one
Is this mouse suitable for MOBA gaming?
Hey Kien ! I have tried a couple of FPS games (CS, Krunker) and also open world RPG games (Valheim), it is pretty... normal ! nothing fancy, no high dps, not lightweight, etc... sooooo. yeah ! you could use it for MOBA gaming like Dota LOL etc... should be no probs. but it's just not a Gaming mouse per say~!
Which one better? Mx anywhere or this triathlon?
Hey Nadzree, depends if you need the feature of the Mx Anywhere being able to glide on Glass. The MX anywhere is also slightly smaller, I’ve use a 2S before, rechargeable battery. I prefer the triathlon in terms of ergonomics, it’s way bigger, better to hold, and there’s a dedicate button for hyper fast scroll unlike the MX Anywhere, you use the scroll wheel click to lock and unlock (which you lose a button function) 🤣
Is there a way to configure forward/back buttons on m270 triathlon to high/low dpi?
Hey there, I believe there is a toggle dpi function buried in Logitech Options. Should be configurable, tho I’m not certain if you can +/- dpi, instead it normally cycles thru DPI settings
@@kendidshoots You're right ! There is in fact such an option. Btw, do you think new version of Option software is better or worse? Logitech has quietly taken down links to the old version, which makes me very suspicious about the new one...
Good casual computer mouse, not a good mouse for gaming. Looking around in FPS games is jittery and slightly jerky...not super bad but definitely noticeable vs using my trusty old G500 mouse.
HAHHAHAHAH nooo wouldn't recommend it for gaming for sure, but for casual gaming of course. It is advertised as a producitivity mouse, not gaming sirrrr
Do you think the Logitech g305 is better in any way?
I have both. The M720 is better overall, but the G305 lacks the rubber surrounds, which is a good thing in my opinion, as the M720 rubber tends to degrade over time and get sticky.
This mouse let me down big time with the click sensitivity issue that I wasn't able to fix.
Hey Akc12, oh no why? Is it wear and tear or u have this problem straight out of the box ?
@@kendidshoots Pretty much straight out of the box. It was the second wireless mouse in a row where this had happened so maybe there was something about my desk that caused it somehow.
How do I unpair I want to change my Bluetooth for device one?
Just long press when you are in device one and it’ll be in Bluetooth pairing mode. If you wanna switch back to the usb dongle then you will need to download the Logitech unifying app to repair it again
Can the toggle device button be costumized?
Hey Jose, unfortunately no. Not by Logitech Options at least... but I'm not sure about other programs to change hotkeys on a peripheral.
@@kendidshoots :/ this button is kind of useless if you only have one device to use it
Don't know why people are attacking your accent, everything was comprehensible to me lol. Would the loudness of the clicks bother others in a quiet environment? I plan on working in a library and don't want to bother people around me. Good review 👍👍
hey bud, I know right. me and poor accent.
It is on the clickier side like any other non-silent mouse (tbd I love silent clicks)
Thanks for stopping byyy
can we click wheel to open link in new tab in internet browser?
Hey Ajay! Yes there’s a middle click as well as scroll left and right on the scroll wheel
@@kendidshoots Thank you so much
Is the silent mouse too?
Hey, it’s a normal clicking mouse, unfortunately
How's the battery life?
Sorry for the late reply, holds up pretty well, similiar to any battery powered mouses.
Can I connect it with a labtop and iphone?
Hey Park, laptop sure works fine ! But when connected to iPhone the cursor is missing (iOS phone don’t support cursor like how the iPad OS does…)
What keyboard is that?
Hey Kelso, it is from a combo MK850. This bundle includes the M720 triathlon mouse in this review
Does this have Smart scroll?
Hey, sorry for the late reply. Its not the new Smart Scroll that came out recently, but it the HyperScroll that spins infinitely when toggled off, or click to click when toggled on.
great tutorial but the background music is very distracting!!!
and maybe, as others have said, slowing down a little as I had to keep going back to understand correctly but your content is no 1.
Apologies! Taken note since I released this video all the way back last year! Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it
My m720 is getting disconnected,
When im using the mouse for scrolling or for some operations, and when i use my key board to type something, and return to mouse operation it was taking 3-5 seconds to use the mouse?
Is there anyone facing the similar issue
Wireless mouse and keyboard tends to delay if you leave it for a while becausd it goes to idle mode, they do that to preserve battery life
Hey Dinesh, sorry for the super long reply, mmm it does take like a solid 1-2 seconds when switching from my side. But it's pretty normal for this keyboards or any other bluetooth multi-device keyboards :
Ah yes, if the device goes to sleep/idle mode, then yes, it takes longer to connect back !
It can be used in glass?
Amazing quality production btw
Sorry for the late late reply! Unfortunately no. Only the MX series mouses are capable with a higher light sensor of the mouse. It skips a little on glass surfaces
old W11 ok not work on latest Nov.17 W11 update, latest drive no help, Logitech just ask you to login no real solution disappointed.
Tbh Logitech options have been giving driver issues awhile back and I’ve stopped using them.. on my m1 machine. (Couldn’t even log in) Windows tho works fine.
Music too loud video failed
Scroll wheel not working for me after 9 months usage. Pathetic, and I'm not a gamer or anyone with heavy usage of wheel
your music is so loud and the speech is quiet..
Hey Issac! Well noted. I am learning to make the background music as low as possible from new video onwards! Thanks for the feedback tho!
I like your video, but you are talking so fast, you are very hard to under stand. :-)
Hey ka9radio, taken note! I have been improving in my newer videos! Regardless, thank you for your comment and your time ! Glad it was helpful
Can you talk a little faster I didn't catch that???????
Hahahha watch it at 1.5x! Sorry m8, turn on subtitles if it helps 😆 will try to talk slower from my new videos !! thanks for the feedback
Plz try to speak a bit slow. Very difficult to understand you.
Hey Varun! Noted, consider turning on subtitles, they are as accurate ! I will remind myself to speak slower. Thanks for the feedback.
You can change the speed of the vid to go slower if you cant understand it I had no issue with it seem ok speed for me. You can change the settings in playback speed if you dont like the pre set speeds click on custom top right and change it to the point you like it problem solved.
@@giggity4670 mmmm that's one way ! but I do agree that my speech is a little unnecessarily fast given the audience watching my videos are not English Native speaking ! All g mate ! Thanks for stopping byyy
The monotonous background "music", almost as loud as the speaker, is a very bad and annoying idea.
Hey Michal, thanks for the feedback. I've deeply considered lowering the background music in all of my newer video ! Appreciate it nonetheless, thanks for your time !
does anyone know what this guy is talking about?!!! ... I have no idea of what he is saying .. it just me?
talk slowly so we can understand your English
You talk way too fast - making your english hard to understand. Slow down champ.
Got it. Thanks for stopping by
wtf language do you speak ?
English
