Verdict

The Logitech M317 is a compact, ambidextrous wireless mouse featuring a 1000 DPI optical sensor and a three-button layout with a line-by-line scroll wheel. It operates on a 2.4 GHz wireless frequency via a plug-and-forget nano-receiver, offering a range of up to 10 metres (33 feet). Designed for portability, its contoured shape includes soft rubber side grips and a weight of approximately 84 grams with the required single AA battery. Its primary pros include a long 12-month battery life, broad compatibility with Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS, and a dedicated internal storage slot for the USB receiver. However, notable cons include its very small size which may be uncomfortable for users with larger hands, a lack of Bluetooth connectivity, and no side buttons for additional customisation.
