This mouse was replaced by the Logitech Pebble Mouse 2 M350s

The Logitech Pebble M350 is a great mouse to bring around with you but isn't the best for day-to-day use. It has a very low profile and small form factor, which makes it easy to slide it in a laptop bag, but isn't the most comfortable design to use for hours at a time. It's a very straightforward wireless mouse that can be used with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth. Its sensor performance is mediocre-at-best and can't be customized to your preference.

Our Verdict

5.9 Work

The Logitech M350 is a mediocre option for your office setup. Its low profile design isn't the most comfortable to use during a full work day and with the lack of side buttons, you won't be able to navigate your browser as easily. On the upside, the wireless design clears your desk of an extra cable.

Pros
  • Decently well-built.
  • Very portable.
  • Great for fingertip grip.
Cons
  • Not the most comfortable design.
  • Mediocre performance.
  • No customization options.
7.5 Video Games (FPS)

The Logitech M350 isn't designed as a gaming mouse. While its wireless click latency isn't too high and it's fairly lightweight, its performance isn't good enough to rival with gaming mice.

Pros
  • Decently well-built.
  • Very portable.
  • Great for fingertip grip.
Cons
  • Not the most comfortable design.
  • Mediocre performance.
  • No customization options.
4.7 Video Games (MMO)

The Logitech Pebble M350 doesn't have any side buttons and shouldn't be used to play MMO games.

Pros
  • Decently well-built.
  • Very portable.
  • Great for fingertip grip.
Cons
  • Not the most comfortable design.
  • Mediocre performance.
  • No customization options.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

The mouse is offered in White, Rose, Blue Gray, and Graphite colors, but we expect our review to be valid for all those variants.

Compared To Other Mice

This mouse has a fairly unique design that makes it a great mouse for travelers. It stands out due to its design, but its performance isn't as great nor customizable as other options on the market like the Razer Atheris. For other options, see our recommendations for the best wireless mice, the best wired mice, or if you need better performance, check out the best wireless gaming mice.

Logitech M240

The Logitech Pebble M350 and the Logitech M240 are compact wireless mice. The Pebble M350 has a smaller, flatter body design for better portability. It connects wirelessly via Bluetooth or its included USB receiver. On the other hand, the M240 is a bit larger and has a somewhat more ergonomic shape. It also feels sturdier and is a bit lighter. It connects via Bluetooth and doesn't include a USB receiver.

Apple Magic Mouse 2

The Apple Magic Mouse 2 and the Logitech Pebble M350 are two very different mice. The Apple mouse has a tactile surface for scrolling inputs, while the Logitech has a more traditional design with a physical scroll wheel. Both have a low profile and are great for traveling. However, the Apple feels noticeably better built but is a bit heavier.

Microsoft Arc Mouse

The Microsoft Arc Mouse has a better overall performance than the Logitech Pebble M350 since you can customize its settings a bit, but its unique design might not be suitable for some. On the other hand, the Logitech can be used with a receiver and via Bluetooth and has a lower click latency.

Logitech M535

The Logitech Pebble M350 is a better travel mouse than the Logitech M535, though some may still prefer the M535. The Pebble is much flatter and connects with a USB receiver or via Bluetooth. It has a lower lift-off distance, a higher polling rate, and better click latency. It's suitable for all hand sizes using a fingertip grip. On the other hand, the M535 only connects via Bluetooth and is good for smaller hands using a fingertip or claw grip. Its software is compatible with Windows and macOS, it supports gesture commands, and its wheel has L/R tilt buttons.

Logitech M525

The Logitech Pebble M350 is a better travel mouse than the Logitech M525. It’s lighter, connects via Bluetooth or a USB receiver, and uses one AA battery. It’s suitable for all hand sizes using a fingertip grip. On the other hand, the M525 only connects with its USB receiver, it uses two AA batteries, and its scroll wheel has L/R tilt buttons. Everyone except those with extra-large hands should be able to use this mouse with a fingertip grip, but only those with small hands will be able to use a palm or claw grip.

Razer Atheris

The Razer Atheris is a better performing mouse than the Logitech Pebble M350. The Razer has a much better sensor and will be the better option if you're looking to play games during your off time on your business trips. On the other hand, the Logitech is fully compatible with macOS, and it's also lighter than the Razer.

Logitech M510

The Logitech M510 is a better mouse than the Logitech Pebble M350. It has two side buttons, customizable performance settings, and you can remap its buttons. It has grips on both sides and is slightly more comfortable to use than the M350. However, if you're on the move often, the M350 might be a better option, thanks to its small form factor.

Logitech M100

The Logitech Pebble M350 is a great budget travel mouse, while the Logitech M100 is a middling office mouse. The M350 connects with a USB receiver or via Bluetooth and has storage for its receiver when not in use. On the other hand, the M100 is a very lightweight wired mouse designed for use with your at-home or work setup. Both mice are well-suited for a fingertip grip for all hand sizes, but the M100 is also suitable for claw and fingertip grip for smaller hand sizes.

Microsoft Pro IntelliMouse

The Logitech Pebble M350 is a great travel mouse, while the Microsoft Pro IntelliMouse is a good wired gaming mouse. The Logitech has a much more portable shape. It's also lighter and connects wirelessly either with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth. Comparatively, the IntelliMouse is a wired-only mouse that feels sturdier and has two side buttons. It also has a wider CPI range, an adjustable CPI, a higher polling rate, a lower click latency, and customization software for Windows. The Intellimouse is suitable for all grip types but best-suited for larger hands, while the Logitech is ideal for all hand sizes, but only for a fingertip grip.

Logitech M317

The Logitech Pebble M350 and the Logitech M317 are both wireless mice intended for travel use. The Pebble has a much lower profile, making it easier to slip into tighter laptop bags and backpacks, but the M317 is slightly more comfortable to use thanks to its grippy side panels. The M317 also has companion software for some customization which the Pebble lacks. On the other hand, the Pebble offers Bluetooth connectivity, which the M317 lacks.

Build Quality

The build quality of the Logitech Pebble M350 is decent. The frame feels solid but the top cover is made out of thin plastic and feels flimsy. It gives off cheap vibes, and if you were to drop the mouse, the cover would probably be the part that breaks first.

The Logitech M350 is fairly lightweight in its default configuration. You can employ additional weight optimization techniques, including the use of a separate AAA adapter with lithium AAA batteries, which is how the Lowest Weight result was achieved during testing.

Fingertip Grip Hand Recommendation

This mouse isn't the most comfortable to use. It doesn't have any side grips, and the odd downward-sloped shape mixed with the small form factor makes up for a pretty awkward grip. Due to its shape, it's mainly made for a fingertip grip. If you're interested in an option with a more conventional shape that has a taller profile and side grips but still offers good portability, check out the Logitech M317 or the Logitech M240.

The Logitech Pebble M350 has poor click latency. It's definitely not recommended for gaming, but it can handle casual browsing and productivity tasks without a noticeable delay. As you can see from the graph, the click latency isn't very consistent; however, you're unlikely to notice the inconsistency during use.
