The Logitech M720 Triathlon is an ergonomic wireless mouse designed for productivity and everyday use. It features an ergonomic shape with a thumb rest, a scroll wheel that unlocks for free scrolling, and L/R tilts for navigating spreadsheets or documents horizontally. It has multi-device support, where you can pair it with three devices at once through Bluetooth and its USB receiver and switch between them with its third side button. It's almost identical to the Logitech Precision Pro, a Costco variant, with some minor color differences.

Our Verdict

0.0
Work 

The Logitech M720 is a great mouse for office use. It feels impressively well-built, and it has an ergonomic shape and a thumb rest that will make it feel very comfortable for most hand sizes during long periods of use. It has a fair number of programmable buttons and nice features like gesture commands, both infinite and notched scrolling, and multi-device pairing.

Pros
  • Feels very comfortable and well-built.
  • Multi-device pairing.
  • Fully compatible with Windows and macOS.
  • Gesture commands and infinite scroll.
Cons
  • Might feel too small for larger hands.
0.0
Video Games (FPS) 

The Logitech M720 is decent for FPS gaming. Although it's very comfortable to use and feels well-built, it's quite heavy, and its click latency is too high for competitive gaming. Also, its CPI can't be adjusted, and its maximum polling rate is very low.

Pros
  • Feels very comfortable and well-built.
  • Decent sensor latency.
Cons
  • Quite heavy.
  • CPI range can't be adjusted.
  • Low polling rate.

Video Games (MMO) 

The Logitech M720 is decent for MMO gaming. It has great build quality and a fair amount of additional programmable buttons. However, its low polling rate and high click latency make it unsuitable for competitive gaming. Also, it doesn't have nearly as many side buttons as dedicated MMO mice have, but at least you can reprogram some of its inputs to your needs.

Pros
  • Feels very comfortable and well-built.
  • Great customization software.
Cons
  • Might feel too small for larger hands.
  • CPI range can't be adjusted.
  • Low polling rate.

Raw Performance 

The Logitech M720 has mediocre raw performance. It has okay click latency and sensor latency, which are suitable for everyday tasks. It has a polling rate of 125Hz, which hinders its overall performance, but it provides the mouse with a very long battery life.

Pros
  • Decent sensor latency.
Cons
  • CPI range can't be adjusted.
  • Low polling rate.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The Logitech M720 Triathlon has a Costco variant called the Logitech Precision Pro. The biggest difference is their colors: The M720 Triathlon is black with a white underside, while the Precision Pro is black all over. Aside from some slight differences in performance that may be due to testing variations, the two mice are almost identical. You can view the label of our unit here.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The Logitech M720 Triathlon is an excellent mouse for office use thanks to its comfortable, ergonomic shape and multi-device pairing capability. While its small size makes it unsuitable for people with larger-sized hands, it'll be more ideal for smaller-sized hands than the bulkier Logitech MX Master 2S and Logitech MX Master 3. The Triathlon has similar features to the MX line but is much more budget-friendly.

    For other options, check out our recommendations for the best ergonomic mouse, the best wireless mouse, and the best Logitech mouse.

    Logitech Marathon Mouse M705

    Track

    The Logitech M720 Triathlon and the Logitech Marathon Mouse M705 are office mice with similar looks, but the Triathlon is a better mouse with more features. The Triathlon has a sturdier-feeling build, Bluetooth support, and a button on the thumb rest for gesture commands. It also has better mouse feet made of PTFE rather than plastic and is ideal for a fingertip grip, regardless of hand size. On the other hand, the Marathon is suitable for all hand sizes, depending on grip type. It also has a slightly lower click latency but doesn't support Bluetooth, so it only connects wirelessly with its USB receiver.

    Logitech Signature M650

    Track

    The Logitech M720 Triathlon and the Logitech Signature M650 are both wireless mice designed for office use; however, the M720 Triathlon performs better overall. It has a button behind the scroll wheel, which allows you to toggle between notched and free-scrolling modes. Also, it can connect with up to three devices wirelessly using Bluetooth. On the other hand, the Signature M650 comes in two size variants and a left-handed variant, which is difficult to find for an office mouse.

    Logitech MX Master 3S

    Track

    The Logitech MX Master 3S and the Logitech M720 Triathlon are both productivity mice with ergonomic, right-handed shapes. The MX Master 3S has several features the Triathlon lacks, including a secondary scroll wheel for horizontal scrolling and quieter click buttons. It also uses Logitech's new BOLT USB receiver, while the Triathlon uses the older Unifying USB Receiver. On the other hand, the M720 Triathlon is slightly smaller and more portable. It also uses an AA battery for power, while the MX Master 3S recharges with an included USB cable.

    Logitech MX Anywhere 2S

    Track

    The Logitech M720 Triathlon is better for office use than the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S, although the MX Anywhere 2S is still a very good option. The M720 feels better built, and its high back makes it suitable for people with small or medium hands if you like using a claw or palm grip. Also, it has a third side button, making switching between paired devices easier. On the other hand, the Anywhere 2S is significantly lighter and smaller, so it should fit in laptop bags and cases much easier.
