The Logitech M221 Silent Mouse was recently introduced in October 2016, joining Logitech’s family of technology products and peripherals. The M221 Silent is the first mouse to receive the Quiet Mark seal of approval from the Noise Abatement Society. I was recently given the opportunity to test and review the Logitech M221 Silent Mouse for a few weeks.
Before I start sharing on my views and thoughts of the Logitech M221 Silent Mouse, let me give a recap on some key information and details of the the M221 Silent Mouse –

Thoughts and views of the Logitech M221 Silent Mouse
- As the name of the product suggests, it’s very quiet, hardly any noise at all and not much of a clicking sound when I am using it.
- Easy to setup, connect and use
- Small and lightweight, easy to bring it out
- The nano receiver is needed, to plug into the USB drive for the Logitech M221 Silent Mouse to work. For computers with few USB ports, this might not be ideal for them.
If you are looking for an affordable mouse, small, light and easy to bring it out, do check out the Logitech M221 Silent Mouse.
I would like to thank Logitech Singapore for the opportunity to review the Logitech M221 Silent Mouse.
