Using the M240 is characterized by its "pair and play" simplicity. The contoured, ambidextrous shape follows the natural curve of the hand, providing comfort for both left- and right-handed users during extended sessions. Navigation is precise thanks to the controlled line-by-line scrolling and smooth optical tracking that works on most surfaces. Its lightweight 73.8g build ensures it slides easily into a laptop bag, while the physical on/off switch helps preserve the 1.5-year battery life when the device is not in use.
Compared to the entry-level Logitech M185, the M240 offers a significant upgrade in acoustic performance and connectivity. While the M185 relies on a 2.4GHz USB receiver, the M240 utilizes Bluetooth, freeing up valuable USB-A ports on modern thin-and-light laptops. Furthermore, the M240 supports the Logi Bolt security protocol, offering a more stable and secure connection in congested wireless environments than standard Bluetooth mice, provided a Bolt receiver is purchased separately.
