The Logitech M170 Wireless Mouse was launched to be the new and most affordable entry level mouse ever launched by Logitech.
Behind its rather simple design hides days, if not weeks, of brainstorming to achieve a competitive cost in order to bring the mouse to market at a very competitive price.
Among other innovations to optimize the cost without impacting the experience, Logitech M170 is the first Logitech wireless mouse to be made of only 3 plastic parts: the keyplate, the bottom case, and the battery door. It uses a mechanical encoder for the scrolling wheel instead of the common optical encoder found in other Logitech mouse, and the wheel itself is made of hard plastic with triangle patterns instead of the usual rubber tyre around a hard plastic core found in most other mice. Finally, it is probably the only mouse that comes with no printed markings. The logo is debossed within the plastic and the compliance information is laser-etched on the bottom.
For the first time, we implemented a new texture to our rubber feet to give an even better gliding experience than mice at a higher price points.
