The Logitech M240 is a wireless mouse designed as a portable option for light office work and everyday browsing. Its compact size makes it easy to store in bags or laptop cases, and its symmetrical shape makes it suitable for left- and right-handed users. It connects via Bluetooth and uses a single AA battery for power. The left- and right-click buttons are very quiet, and it has a standard rubber scroll wheel for line-by-line scrolling, but it doesn't have any side buttons. Logitech also advertises that this mouse is made partly with post-consumer recycled plastic.
Our Verdict
The Logitech M240 is acceptable for work use. It has a symmetrical shape suitable for right- and left-handed users, but it's quite small, so it isn't as comfortable to use for extended periods if you have large or extra-large hands. It also has impressive build quality, and the left- and right-click buttons are very quiet and unlikely to bother anyone around you, even in noise-sensitive environments. Unfortunately, there aren't any side buttons, and while this mouse connects via Bluetooth, you can't pair with more than one device simultaneously.
- Impressive build quality.
- Compact symmetrical shape.
- Scroll wheel lacks a free-scrolling mode and L/R tilt inputs.
- Doesn't have any side buttons.
The Logitech M240 is decent for playing casual FPS games but isn't designed specifically for this use. That said, it's fairly lightweight in its default configuration, and it has satisfactory click latency. However, the sensor latency and accuracy are only adequate and won't deliver a great experience for playing competitively.
- Impressive build quality.
- Doesn't have any side buttons.
- Sensor latency is only adequate for casual gaming.
The Logitech M240 is inadequate for MMO gaming. Unlike dedicated MMO mice, it has no side buttons, and only the scroll wheel button can be reprogrammed using the software. Additionally, while its click latency is satisfactory, the overall sensor performance doesn't feel particularly responsive or consistent and is only adequate for more casual gaming.
- Impressive build quality.
- Doesn't have any side buttons.
- Sensor latency is only adequate for casual gaming.
This mouse provides sub-par performance. The click latency is satisfactory, and the sensor latency and accuracy are adequate for casual gaming, but the maximum polling rate is only 125Hz. This mouse doesn't deliver a high-quality gaming experience that feels consistent or responsive enough for playing fast-paced or competitive titles.
- Satisfactory click latency.
- Sensor latency and accuracy are only adequate for productivity, browsing, or casual gaming.
