Many mice offer very basic functionality—left-click, right-click, scroll wheel, and not much more. Others boast a range of programmable buttons, premium sensor specs, USB-C charging, and other features for power users. But what if you don't need that extreme level of functionality but don't want something cheap and bare-bones, either?

Released this past week, the Logitech Signature M650 wireless mouse is a middle-ground device that supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, iPadOS, and Android. It doesn't have the most advanced features, but it isn't basic, either. And by skipping some add-ons, like multiple Bluetooth profiles, the mouse is able to maintain an affordable $40 price point.

Logitech's latest cord-free mouse also comes in three different versions: a standard size, a large size, and a large left-handed version, providing something for everyone—unless you have a smaller left hand, that is.

Looks like Logitech has been listening to its customers. This mouse is one that even I would buy if I needed a new one. I like the idea that it comes in three sizes.

I was thinking the same thing as I read the description. I haven't been a big fan of Logitech's gear in the past, partly due to problems with their software, but this mouse might be worth a look when I need one.

I remember using Logitech software for Windows back when I primarily used PCs and it always worked reliably. Logitech for the most part has not been as diligent with keeping their Mac software up to date.

I've never used their mice and Control Center software but have used it to program some of the Logitech remotes. It took them forever to develop a 64-bit version of their setup software. I still have the remote control software on my phone, and it's a nightmare of bad design choices.
