Original Logitech M171 Wireless Mouse

The Original Logitech M171 Wireless Mouse is a compact, reliable everyday mouse built for portability and comfort.

Quick summary — who this mouse is for

If you want a simple, dependable wireless mouse that works out of the box and travels easily, the M171 fits the bill. It’s ideal for laptop users, homeschooling families and office staff who want solid tracking (1000 dpi), a compact form factor and the convenience of a USB receiver without the fuss of frequent battery changes.

Product highlights

• Plug & Play Wireless: USB receiver pairs in seconds for a stable 2.4 GHz connection up to 10 m.
• Smooth Optical Tracking: Advanced optical sensor with ~1000 DPI for accurate cursor control.
• Ambidextrous Comfort: Contoured compact shape works for left- and right-handed users.
• Low Maintenance: Up to 12 months battery life from a single AA (included) thanks to auto-sleep.
• Eco-aware build: Made with recycled plastic and lower carbon footprint than older models.

Detailed description — performance, build and benefits

The M171 is designed around the essentials: comfort, reliability and simplicity. The advanced optical tracking ensures smooth pointer control across typical desk surfaces while the line-by-line scroll wheel makes navigation in documents and web pages predictable and precise. Because it uses a USB nano receiver (plug & play), setup takes seconds — just plug the receiver into an available USB port and the mouse pairs instantly, preserving your laptop's Bluetooth for other devices.

Portability is a strong suit: the mouse’s compact dimensions (approx. 99 mm × 60 mm × 39 mm) and lightweight build (~75.2 g with battery) mean it slips into laptop bags and backpacks without adding bulk. For Kenyan customers commuting within Nairobi, travelling between campuses, or working from satellite towns, that small form factor is a practical plus.

Battery life is intentionally economical: with a single AA (included), the M171 can run up to 12 months thanks to Logitech’s on/off switch and smart auto-sleep, cutting down on trips to buy replacements — a real advantage for buyers outside major urban centres. The design also follows Logitech’s quality standards, using recycled plastics in parts of the housing and keeping the product footprint low.
