What we don't like about the Logitech M171 wireless mouse
There are two major drawbacks that put the M171 away from the best in class - ergonomics and build materials.
We don't like the ergonomics of this mouse at all and even though it is a compact travel mouse it is not good for longer use.
We also don't like the plastic material that the M171 is made of. It really feels cheap not pleasant to the touch.
Other than that, the USB nano-receiver that this mouse uses has good reception and for the price it performs relatively well.
