if you are looking for best wireless productivity mouse, Logitech’s Pop Mouse probably isn’t. But I’m not trying to do that, so it’s okay.
The Logitech Pop Mouse is a small, wireless, pebble-shaped mouse with five buttons (including a profile switch button at the bottom), two of which are programmable. It runs on a single AA battery, offers up to 2 years of battery life, and can connect to up to 3 systems using either Bluetooth or the Logi Bolt receiver (sold separately/included with his other Logitech peripherals). increase. and Navigate seamlessly between them with Logitech Flow. It’s not the most feature-rich productivity mouse, but it’s only $39.99 and comes in five bright color combinations.
Pop Mouse design and feel
The Logitech Pop Mouse is sure to catch the eye with its pebble-shaped form factor and unconventional bright color scheme. Currently, “Heartbreaker” (pink/red), “Blast” (yellow/black), “Daydream” (lavender/mint green/yellow accent), “Mist” (sand/grey), “Cosmos” (lavender dark purple). The Mist and Cosmos colorways debuted earlier this year, and our review unit came to Cosmos.

The Pop Mouse is small and relatively light, weighing 2.89 ounces (82g) with a single AA battery installed. It is 4.13 inches (104.8 mm) long, 2.34 inches (59.4 mm) wide and 1.39 inches (35.2 mm) thick at its thickest point. The Microsoft Modern Mobile Mouse has a similar footprint (4.22 x 2.37 inches / 107.2 x 60.3mm) but is slimmer at only 1.01 inches (25.8mm) thick.of Razer Pro Click Mini It’s slightly shorter (3.94 inches / 100.2mm) but similar in width (2.46 inches / 62.7mm) and thickness (1.34 inches / 34.2mm).
and Logitech proprietary G705 Gaming Mouse While the size of the Aurora collection, including gender, is nearly identical (4.17 x 2.68 x 1.55 inches / 105.8 x 68.1 x 39.4 mm) and features a contoured right-handed shape, the Pop Mouse is symmetrical and truly Ambidextrous.

The Pop Mouse has an oval pebble-shaped design that looks a lot like the Logitech Pebble M350 (especially when viewed from above). But while the Pebble M350 is slim and flat, the Pop Mouse is thicker and has a more pronounced rear hump that slopes toward the front. This doesn’t do much to make the Pop Mouse more ergonomic than his Pebble M350.
The Pop Mouse has a two-piece plastic chassis, held together by magnets. The top pops off easily (but not so easily that you’re afraid it will fall apart in your bag). The mouse battery compartment will appear.
There are four buttons on the top of the mouse: left click, right click, a clickable scroll wheel, and an “emoji” button below the scroll wheel. Only two of the mouse buttons are programmable: the middle click (scroll wheel click) and the “emoji” button, but the left and right buttons can be swapped for left-handed users.

At the bottom of the mouse is a power switch and device switch button that lets you jump between connected devices (the mouse can be connected to up to three devices at once). There are also two curved plastic feet to help the mouse glide across surfaces. They aren’t particularly impressive, but the mouse is small and light, so I didn’t have any problems with glide.

pop mouse performance
Pop Mouse is equipped with Logitech’s high-precision optical tracking sensor with a maximum sensitivity of 4,000 DPI. Mouse sensitivity can be adjusted in Logitech’s Logi Options+ software under “pointer speed”, but sensitivity is displayed as a percentage from 0% to 100% in 1% increments, so each percentage point is probably 40 DPI.
The Pop Mouse is equipped with “SilentTouch” switches, which Logitech claims are over 90% quieter than those in the Logitech M170 mouse.I’ve never had anyone complain about how loud their mouse clicks are, but the Pop Mouse teeth Surprisingly Quiet – Basically quiet. The clicks are responsive, but the switches feel so soft that you might struggle to tell if you’ve actually pressed a button.
The mouse scroll wheel is also very quiet (although the clicks are slightly louder than the main mouse button). The emoji button below the scroll wheel has the loudest clicks and is recessed, making it a little harder to reach (especially since the mouse is so small to begin with). A button you want to press.
PopMouse features and software
The Pop Mouse works with Logitech’s Logitech Logi Options+ software, Logitech’s production line peripheral software. Logi Options+ can be used to reprogram his two programmable buttons on the mouse, set up Logi Flow, and adjust some settings.

There isn’t much to customize with this mouse. By default, clicking the Emoji button below the scroll wheel brings up the emoji menu, so you can easily insert emoji into your chats without switching to your mobile phone. (This function is pop key keyboard, there is a special column for emoji keys. ) can change the functionality of both this button and the scroll wheel click, but limited to Logitech’s preset action menu. A fairly extensive menu with media functions, Windows shortcuts, and other productivity actions, but no basic keyboard functions or the ability to program custom macros. You can also change the direction of your mouse scroll wheel and turn on “smooth scrolling”. This makes scrolling faster when you flick the wheel.
To set up Logitech Flow, you also need Logitech Flow. This is a unique Logitech productivity feature that allows you to move your mouse between up to three different devices without manually switching between systems. To set up Logitech Flow, simply pair your mouse to 2 or 3 different systems and download Logi Options+ on each system. Once setup is complete, arrange the systems by location in the Logi Options+ software and drag the mouse to the edge of the screen closest to the next system to pop over to the next system. It takes a little longer, but it’s pretty seamless. You can also copy and paste text, images, and files from one system to another (although this may take a different amount of time depending on what you are copying and pasting).
Wireless experience and battery life
Pop Mouse is equipped with Bluetooth 5.1 and can connect to up to 3 devices simultaneously. At the bottom of the mouse is an “Easy-Switch” button that allows you to switch between paired devices. The mouse also works with Logitech’s Logi Flow technology, allowing him to move the mouse between his three connected devices without manually switching profiles. Some information (such as copy/paste text) can also be shared between devices.
Pop Mouse can also connect to your PC wirelessly with 2.4GHz using the Logitech Logi Bolt USB receiver. However, the mouse doesn’t come with its own Logi Bolt receiver. It is included with the Pop Keys keyboard or can be purchased separately for $14.99. A single Logi Bolt USB receiver can pair up to 6 of his compatible Logitech devices simultaneously, so you only need one.
As for battery life, the Pop Mouse runs on the single included AA battery. Battery life will vary based on usage, but Logitech estimates users will get up to two years of use. I’ve had the mouse for about 2 weeks (not all the time) and the battery life is currently around 95%. The mouse has an auto-sleep feature (not configurable) and has a power switch on the bottom in case you want to keep the battery from dying.
Conclusion
The Logitech Pop Mouse is a small, portable wireless pointer that comes in some fun color combinations and has a very quiet click. It has great battery life (it doesn’t weigh you down too much with AA batteries) and works with Logitech’s his Flow feature, making it perfect for anyone who wants to control multiple systems without manually switching between them.
But with no thumb button for navigating the browser and only two programmable buttons, including a scroll wheel click, it’s probably not the best mouse for everyday productivity. It’s certainly not the Logitech MX Master 3S, but it’s not trying to be. It’s a great mouse for those looking to stay productive on the go, but if you’re not traveling, I’d recommend something with a few buttons.
