Ideal for aching palms – though only if you're right-handed
Logitech has introduced a cushioned mouse and an ergonomic keyboard, but as with several of the company's other products, only right-handers need apply.The Register tested Signature Comfort Plus M850 L for more than a week, and we're not convinced it's that much of a game-changer, although it's certainly a comfortable unit.The mouse has all the usual controls a user would expect from a mid-range device: a mouse wheel, which can be moved in increments for precision scrolling or spun to speed things up, and it includes buttons that are placed nicely beneath fingers and thumbs, and can be configured via the Logi Options+ mouse.
The sides of the mouse are rubber, and the near-silent buttons are made from a slightly brittle-feeling plastic. According to Logitech, between 49 and 77 percent of the plastic parts in the Comfort Plus lineup are made from recycled plastic.
Connectivity is via Bluetooth, and the device works over Windows, macOS, iPadOS, ChromeOS, Linux, and Android OS 12.0 or later. Business users can opt for the Logi Bolt USB receiver, which doesn't support Android and iPadOS.
