Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse — a new solution for Macbooks
Nowadays, there are specific features in OS X that create a certain limitation for the use of the user’s mouse. The OS interface was designed taking into account the possibilities of the touchpad, so even the original Apple Magic Mouse has a touch surface. There are just a couple of alternatives to it. However, it is possible to find a solution, and one of them is the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse. Let’s see how this mouse can compete with the Apple Magic Mouse. If you are Apple fan this review is for you: Apple Magic Mouse
Design and materials
The Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse is made in a very compact housing. Its dimensions are 85х59х18 mm and a weight of 0.15 lbs.
The upper and lower portion of the mouse are made of plastic, while the body has a metal edging that covers its sides. The build quality is at a high level.
You can find the gear shift lever on the underside of the device, the button to activate the Bluetooth connection, and a slider switch. There is also a micro-USB port for recharging the internal battery.
The mouse looks good, its canted silhouette and small thickness create an association with the thin laptops or ultrabooks, and it really looks great next to the MacBook Air.
There are two available colors of Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse: T631 (white) and T630 (black).
The main difference except colors is a full support for OS X model by T631, while the T630 is positioned as a solution for Windows.

Easy in use
The small size of the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse allows you to wear the mouse in the bag with the laptop, it takes up almost no space.
It should be said that to use the mouse is really not very convenient and it takes a long time to get used to. The thing is that the dimensions of the case allow you to cover the mouse only with your fingers, and as a result, your hand tired pretty quickly.
Ergonomics is sacrificed for the compact size. Thus, we cannot say that the use of Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse is comfortable for daily use, but this model is a pretty good solution for road trips using for the account of its compact size.
The symmetric case of Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse allows you to use the mouse as right-handers and left-handers.
The resolution of the laser sensor Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse is 1000 dpi. This is more than enough for the cursor working, while it can work on virtually any surface.
Opportunities
The mouse is connected directly via the Bluetooth. When the lever on the bottom of the unit allows you to quickly switch the mouse from one computer to another. But hardly anyone will often use this feature. The surface of Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse is almost touch, as the Apple Magic Mouse. Using the touch panel you can scroll the pages with the gesture support.
To complete the work of this Wireless Mouse you should install a special driver, otherwise, the OS X somehow detects the mouse as a keyboard and does not include gestures. The last important to work with OS X, as well as increase ease of system use.
Wish you smart shopping!
