Powerful and Stylish, Logitech POP Mouse Review: Small but Mighty Bluetooth Mouse with Surprising Features and Omissions
Logitech POP Mouse: A Slim and Simple Wireless Mouse for Productivity and Browsing
The Logitech POP Mouse is a compact and straightforward wireless mouse designed for productivity and general browsing. With its Bluetooth connectivity and customization options, it’s perfect for modern workers. The mouse features a stylish design, with a pebble-like shape, a front slope, and a one-piece unit for the mouse buttons. The multiple colorways use a soft, light palette with some two-tone schemes added for good measure.
Despite being smaller and thinner than many other mice on the market, the POP Mouse fits comfortably in my hand, with a body thick enough to provide a good grip and a rear weight bias that makes it easy to tilt back for a smooth lift-off between swipes. The completely symmetrical design also makes it suitable for left and right-handed users.
Interestingly, the POP Mouse has a distinct lack of buttons, with only a scroll wheel and a button below it on top. Underneath, you’ll find the power slider and the Easy Switching button for pairing and toggling between three different Bluetooth devices.
The one-piece unit for the mouse buttons also doubles as the battery compartment cover, attached magnetically to the mouse’s body. The robust plastic achieves the perfect balance between easy removal and secure fastening.
Switches and Feel
The switches for the mouse buttons are also noteworthy. They’re very tactile and heavily damped, providing a satisfyingly cushioned sensation. To be honest, I enjoyed using them for general and productivity purposes. Those who prefer the loud, sharp clicks of traditional switches may not find the POP Mouse provides enough feel or feedback, but for me, they were perfect for the job.
The scroll wheel is also damped nicely, with a light notching. When you quickly flick through, it enters a free-wheeling state to some degree, which is a handy feature. I only wish this triggered more readily, as it didn’t make navigating long documents and web pages as easy as I was hoping.
A Well-Made Mouse
The Logitech POP Mouse is a well-made mouse that gets the job done. It’s a great option for those looking for a simple, slim, and portable mouse with wireless connectivity. While it may not be the most feature-rich option on the market, it’s certainly a solid choice for general browsing and productivity.
How I Tested the Logitech POP Mouse
During my week-long testing period, I used the POP Mouse with multiple devices, including Windows 10 laptops, a MacBook Pro, and a Chromebook. I used Logitech’s Options Plus software to make various tweaks and customizations, re-binding the scroll click and Emoji button to available functions.
As someone with experience reviewing a vast array of peripherals, including mice and keyboards for both productivity and gaming, I can confidently say the Logitech POP Mouse is a great option for anyone looking for a simple, compact, and reliable wireless mouse.
