Whether you’re working late into the night and want to make sure you don’t wake up the whole house because your mouse is too loud, or you need an extra one to keep in your laptop bag, paying just $16 for a Logitech mouse is more than reasonable. That’s exactly what the Logitech M330 Silent Plus mouse costs right now after a 30% discount on Amazon.
This is a comfortable, near-silent wireless mouse that won’t ask you to replace batteries every two weeks. In fact, Logitech says it can run for over a year on a single AA battery, and if that’s not the epitome of set-it-and-forget-it convenience, I don’t know what is.
The mouse uses Logitech’s SilentTouch technology, which reduces that annoying clicking noise while offering the same responsive feel. The fact that it is so quiet is useful in shared offices or during late night work at home when you don’t want to disturb your family.
The M330 Silent Plus comes with rubber grips that fit perfectly in the palm of your hand, making it comfortable during long sessions. Tracking is smooth and accurate on most surfaces, so it will suit your needs wherever you work. The mouse comes with a small USB-A receiver, so make sure you have an empty port on your laptop or dock.
Of course, while a $16 mouse will work fine for low-risk tasks, don’t expect it to provide the same comfort as a full-featured ergonomic mouse or the same performance as a full-fledged gaming mouse. This is a simple mouse that is great to keep in your laptop bag as a backup.
