Design and Portability

Contoured Compact Shape

The Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse White features a contoured compact shape that provides comfortable handling during extended use. The symmetrical design accommodates both left-handed and right-handed users, making it a versatile choice for shared workspaces and home offices.

Lightweight and Portable

Weighing only 76 grams (with battery), the M196 is highly portable and easy to carry in a laptop bag or backpack. Its compact dimensions (100 x 60 x 38 mm) make it ideal for travel and mobile work.

On/Off Power Switch and Pairing Mode

The Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse White includes an ON/OFF power switch with a long-press pairing mode for easy Bluetooth connection. This allows users to quickly pair the mouse with their device and conserve battery when not in use.

Performance and Tracking

1000 DPI Optical Tracking

The M196 uses Logitech Smooth Optical Tracking with 1000 DPI resolution for precise cursor control. It delivers reliable performance for browsing, document work, and general navigation tasks. The 1000 DPI resolution is ideal for everyday productivity and standard screen resolutions.

2D Mechanical Scroll Wheel

The mouse features a 2D mechanical scroll wheel that provides controlled line-by-line scrolling through documents and web pages. This ensures accurate and predictable scrolling for everyday tasks.

Three-Button Layout

The Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse White features a standard three-button layout with left click, right click, and middle click (via scroll wheel). This keeps operation straightforward and easy to use, without unnecessary complexity.

Wireless Connectivity

Bluetooth Low Energy Connection

The Logitech M196 connects through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, which provides a stable and reliable wireless link without the need for a USB dongle or receiver. This frees up USB ports and reduces clutter, making it ideal for modern laptops and tablets.

Wireless Range

The mouse offers a wireless range of up to 10 meters (33 feet) in an open area, giving you flexibility to work comfortably from a typical desk distance.

Pair-and-Play Setup

The M196 connects in seconds with a reliable pair-and-play Bluetooth connection. Simply turn on the mouse, enter pairing mode, and select the device from your Bluetooth settings. No software or drivers are required.

Battery Life

Up to 12 Months Battery Life

The M196 offers up to 12 months of battery life on 1 AA battery (included). This means fewer interruptions and less maintenance, which is ideal for regular office and home use. The long battery life helps ensure you can stay productive all day long without frequent battery changes. The auto-sleep feature further conserves power when the mouse is not in use.

Compatibility

Multi-OS Support

The M196 is compatible with Windows 10/11 or later, macOS 11 or later, and ChromeOS. It requires a device with Bluetooth Low Energy support and HID profile compatibility. This makes it a versatile choice for a range of setups, from home workstations to corporate offices and educational environments.

No USB Dongle Required

Because the M196 uses Bluetooth Low Energy, it does not require a USB port for a receiver. This makes it an excellent choice for devices with limited USB ports, such as modern laptops, tablets, and 2-in-1 devices.

Sustainability

Certified Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic

The Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse White is made with certified post-consumer recycled plastic (67% for the black/graphite version). This supports a more sustainable product lifecycle while maintaining durability and performance.
