Detailed product description (features & benefits)

The Original Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse blends sensible ergonomics with straightforward functionality. Its Bluetooth Low Energy connection removes the need for a USB receiver, leaving your laptop ports free and making the M196 particularly suitable for modern laptops and tablets. The smooth optical tracking gives consistent cursor movement on most surfaces and the line-by-line scroll wheel helps when you’re reviewing documents or working in spreadsheets.

Practicality is central: the M196 delivers an estimated 12-month battery life on a single AA, thanks to an on/off switch and automatic power-saving sleep mode. That reduces interruptions and the number of trips to buy replacement batteries — a real convenience for Kenyan customers outside major towns. Its ambidextrous shape suits both left- and right-hand users, and the compact size (approximately 99mm × 60mm × 39mm; ~lightweight) fits neatly into laptop bags for students, field workers and mobile professionals.

Logitech built the M196 to be durable and low fuss; many of the plastic parts use certified post-consumer recycled material (a helpful sustainability note for environmentally conscious buyers). Whether you’re presenting in a classroom, working from a co-working space in Nairobi’s CBD, or studying at a library, the M196 is engineered to offer reliable Bluetooth pairing, comfortable handling and long service between battery changes.
