Reviews last updated: May 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Logitech M187

  • Extremely compact and pocket-sized, making it ideal for travel and mobile work
  • Lightweight design (approx. 52g) allows for effortless movement and reduces wrist strain
  • Perfect ergonomic fit for children and users with smaller hands
  • Reliable 'plug-and-play' 2.4 GHz wireless connection with a tiny nano receiver
  • Convenient internal storage slot for the USB receiver to prevent loss during transport
  • Excellent value for money due to its low, budget-friendly price point
  • Versatile performance that works effectively on various surfaces without needing a mousepad

What customers don't like about Logitech M187

  • Uncomfortably small for users with large or medium-sized hands, often leading to hand cramps during extended use
  • Lacks advanced ergonomic features, making it unsuitable as a primary desktop mouse for long work hours
  • Fixed 1000 DPI sensor is not suitable for gaming or tasks requiring high precision
  • Build quality can feel 'cheap' or 'plasticky,' particularly the scroll wheel and battery cover
  • Occasional reports of the click buttons becoming 'sticky' or unresponsive over time
  • Limited functionality with only standard left/right buttons and a scroll wheel; no extra programmable buttons

Verdict

The Logitech M187 is an ultra-portable mini wireless mouse featuring a compact 81.9 x 49.4 x 31.8 mm ambidextrous design and a lightweight build of approximately 51.9g. It operates on a reliable 2.4 GHz wireless connection via a plug-and-forget USB nano receiver with a range of up to 10 metres. Key technical specifications include 1000 DPI optical tracking for smooth cursor control, three buttons, and a 6-month battery life powered by a single AAA battery. Its primary pros are its extreme portability and 'pocket-ready' size, internal storage for the nano receiver, and cross-platform compatibility with Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and Linux. However, notable cons include its very small form factor, which may cause discomfort or a cramped feel for users with larger hands, and a lack of advanced features like side buttons or adjustable sensitivity.
