Date:August 8, 2012
I bought this mouse recently at Fry's for $25.

Hand-sensitive activation
Various other features
The Good:
Sealed sensor bay
Hyperfast scrolling/Precision scrolling modes
Dual battery bay capable of running on a single cell
Ergonomic design
Customizable button
Hand-sensitive activation
Various other features
The Bad:
Hyperfast scrolling (installer program) takes up too much processing power, as much as 50% from the CPU
Hand sensitive activation should wait longer before deactivating the mouse when the hand is taken off the mouse.
Mouse a little too big for my tastes (personal opinion)
Seems a little imprecise for gaming: it could be from the placement of the sensor under the mouse (personal opinion)
The customizable button should be placed further to the front of the mouse (for ergonomics) or on the left side for thumb activation
Laser would be a better choice instead of optical: even some laminated objects cannot be read by the sensor.

Previously a very happy owner of the original VX Nano that finally gave up the ghost. This mouse has proved to be somewhat of a headache to use.
Aesthetically it's a clean and simple mouse that I can appreciate despite the lack of programmable buttons. My main issue is the hyper sensitivity of the power saving(?) proximity feature. Frequently the mouse stops moving or misses clicks until I grasp it more firmly which is amazingly frustrating. It is possible that my large-ish hands sit above the mouse more than average yet if that is the case I imagine others could struggle even more.
If the proximity sensor problem is set aside I would say this is a good mouse for the price and often I find it works fairly well. If only I could get the old and beautiful VX nano renewed with a unifying reciever...

Best mouse for left handed
Date:July 11, 2012
I am in the minority of left handed people so most of the sophisticated mice are not suitable for me. This model is symmetric and performs suprisingly good.
The one problem was the proximity sensor but thanks to additional software published by Logitech it was possible to switch this feature off and now it works great.
Of course it could have more buttons - I would prefer two more buttons on the top - but the 5(two standard, one small and tilt of the wheel) are ok too - for left handed people in fact there is no other option when you want to buy mouse: wireless, with many buttons and preferably with Unifying receiver.
I use this mouse with the K520 keyboard and there are no problems at all - unifying works great.
Mouse also works surprisingly well as a gaming mouse - I tried it in FPS and for RTS (especially in Starcraft II) - for me it works great.
The size is just right for the small to medium hand - I did not have to accomodate after change from my old mouse from S510 set.
I really recommend this mouse. In fact last days I bought 3 new mice from Logitech: M325(for travel), M310(was in the MK520 set) and M515(as my standard desktop mouse) and the M515 suits my needs best.

The mouse wheel will DEFINITELY get mezzed out after half a year or so.
This mouse fits yoru hand surprisingly well, and its got the handy middle-mouse button right there too. Served me well for a long time.
Till the classic Logitech Mouse Psycho-mouse-wheel bug kicks in :(

I like this mouse.
Date:June 20, 2012
Works great for me. I've used it across the room from my laptop with the television hooked to it. Great reception. Smooth on most surfaces. I have even used on my leg when a table or couch isn't close. It's a tad heavy, but still nice.

Absolutely waste of money
Date:June 5, 2012
I bought the mouse from CompUSA.
My big mistake was to throw away the original box, so now they don't accept my willing to exchange it with something better.
Frquently loosing connection with the computer, even with fully charged rechargable batteries.
I don't recommend to anyone this piece of garbage.

Pay for what you get .
Date:May 11, 2012
Overall the mouse is usable and it really is design to work on your couch, bed, sofa. If you're looking for a mouse for a desk i wouldn't suggest this because it doesn't get detail clicks and the hyper fast scrolling is too fast i can't even see the page but who cares its made from Logitech. Hope i help (:

WORST MOUSE I HAVE EVER USED!
Date:May 4, 2012
Uncontrollable. As I move my mouse to click on something the page starts to scroll, and I cannot even get the cursor over the text I want to click. I end up chasing the items I am trying to click on. I HATE this mouse and intend on using a sledge hammer on it as soon as I get different one. The store had a 14 day return policy, so I can't bring it back. I would not even recommend this mouse to my enemies. Sometimes the click works, sometimes not. I just double clicked on one of the words in this review, and only the first click worked because the page scrolled making the second click fall somewhere else.

DO NOT PURCHASE

This is by far the worst product I have purchased in years. I can't even use it to write this review without it freezing. Replacing batteries does not help. DO NOT PURCASE.

Freezes every second!
Date:February 27, 2012
This mouse stops working and freeze every second, which is REALLY annoying. To revive it, I have to squeeze it until it's almost broken. It helps me increase my grip power, but not for computing. It's been frozen 7! times while I'm writing this review.

- Not enought features (where are the tumb buttons?)
- Doesn't respond on wood (plain pine pannel in my case)
- Doesn't respond when the receiver is not in a clear line with it

Middle button missing double click option
Date:January 25, 2012
I just bought the M515. It looked like a good size for a travel mouse. Not too big and not too small. It fits my hand fine. Since it has a unifying receiver I can use it with the other unifying mice I have and only use one receiver.
The one problem I have is that the middle button does not have the 'double click' option under other. I have always setup my mice with this option and when I need to double click something I automatically push the middle button.
It would be nice if Logitech would add this option to the next setpoint update.

Battery door
Date:December 26, 2011
The ONLY complaint I have about this mouse is the battery compartment cover. It comes off WAY too easily. Other mice had the door on the top. On a couch it opens all the time.
I do like the ability to press the scroll button so it is silent.

Love the Couch Mouse
Date:December 23, 2011
First, I had my scissors out and ready to open the molded plastic packaging. Just before I began to cut it open, I noticed the new "Easy Open" corner. Awesome! Thank you! I have great difficulty with molded plastic packaging. I think I understand the reasons for making it so inconspicuous, so I won't suggest better advertising of the feature.
I was looking for a small wireless mouse to go with my new laptop. The Couch Mouse fits the bill perfectly. I love the unifying receiver and the ease of installation. There was no installation necessary, but I went ahead and installed the software suite available on the logitech website. It provides information about the features and adjustments that can be made to the button uses, scroll speed (incorrectly mentioned in another rating post), mouse track speed, and other sensitivity settings.
In the past, I have battled a hair, or dust entering the lazer area and affecting performance. I can't see that this would ever be an issue with the new design of this mouse. I also love the way it glides on any surface. I use it on my recliner arm chair as well as mousepad at the desk. Mentioned in another rating post, the battery cover kindof concerns me, however I have had no trouble with it as of yet.

Truly Ambidexterous - great choice for lefties.
Date:December 22, 2011
When Logitech developed and marketed advanced mice ergonomically moulded for right-handed users, I was really angered that the same was not available for left-handed users. I wrote to Logitech and eventually the M610 wireless left-handed mouse appeared in their line. I went through two of them. Recently, the M610 was discontinued. Faced with finding an alternative and unhappy at the prospect, I decided to try the "couch" mouse (M515). Any angst was unfounded. The only issue I have with Logitech is the choice of name. "Couch mouse" trivializes the many strengths of this design and pigeonholes a very versitile mouse suitable for both laptops and desktops.
The shape of this mouse is nothing less than amazing. It is truly ambidextrous. It is also slightly smaller than the prior generations. I have been using it for several weeks. I do not miss the left-handed design as this mouse is so comfortable in my left hand. All the advanced controls are built into the center wheel and a single button behind the wheel. Operating the controls is equivalent for either left or right handers. The software changes the functions to favor left or right and permits assigning custom functions to the controls. These are especially usefull for surfing the web. The M610, left handed mouse, had a defect in the design of the glides. There were four small pads stuck onto the base by a sticky adhesive. Over time the adhesive deteriorated and the pads moved. The couch mouse has a flat bottom (no pads to come off) with a flush window over the optical path. This will prevent dust settling on the optics. The M515 uses an improved receiver module that is very small, so much so that it can be left inserted into a laptop without concern for it being broken. Also, it fits neatly within the battery compartment for storage. Cursor response is excellent while moving the mouse over most surfaces and mouse pads. It does not work well on glass or glass like surfaces. It does work very well on uneven textile materials. The M515 will work out of the box without the Logitech software, but using the software expands the usefulness of the mouse. One of the new features is a quantitative estimate of remaning battery life, which is better than two years. There is also an on/off power switch to further conserve battery life. The older M610 ran through batteries quickly and would only signal when the batteries were critically low and needed to be changed IMMEDIATELY. In short, I recommend this mouse for all users. For left-handers this is pretty much the best choice in a wireless mouse.

Like mouse...hate battery door
Date:November 19, 2011
I've been using this mouse for a few months. I really like it. The ability to use it on almost any surface is outstanding. (It does have problems on shiny surfaces like magazines and some table tops). I LOVE the middle scroll. One click provides normal stepped scrolling. One more click and it is a free-spinning wheel that will get you to the top or bottom of a very long page quickly. I also like that the dongle is small, so I don't worry about breaking it off and I don't have to take it out to put the laptop in my bag.
The ONLY complaint I have about this mouse is the battery compartment cover. It comes off WAY too easily. I've ended up having to use a little tape to make sure it stays on.

Solid laser, confusing scroll wheel.
Date:October 30, 2011
This mouse is in many respects the level of quality I expect from Logitech. My only complaint, and reason for coming to write a review, was the scroll wheel. (*see below)
This mouse confused me, as the button which I thought locked the scroll mechanism instead works as the center click. I found the screen scrolling up and down randomly when I moved the mouse, or other things being scrolled without my intent.
*This was, of course, until I realized (During the typing of this review, no less) that a SOLID click of the scroll wheel engages the scroll grip mechanism.
The forward and back keys are integrated with the scroll wheel in side-to-side scroll motions. Not as intuitive as with other Logitech mice.

The couch portion with the laser is wonderful, and works beautifully on the sofa with my HTPC. I've used the mouse successfully on the couch, the floor, my jeans, blankets, and even the cat!

Great for laptop in your vehicle
Date:October 25, 2011
I have a laptop mounted in my truck for Amateur Radio work. I bought this mouse to use with that laptop. I can use it on my leg, console lid, seat, etc. and it works fine. I can set it down anywhere in the truck and not worry about the curser moving as I drive. I particularly like the middle button set for Application Switching as it makes changeing between UI-View/GPS maps and weather radar, etc. quick and simple. Much easier to use than the touch pad.
We have Anywhere MX mice on our home computers, and the K360 keyboard unified on my office computer. They all work just as we expected.
Great products!!

Do not like Hyper-fast scrolling
Date:October 21, 2011
Mouse feels good, but do not like Hyper-fast scrolling feature. The sound of click is anoying and click feels very deep. Before buying this mouse i did not noticed this feature, be aweare that if you used to use scrool for double click yuo will be dissapoited. This mouse will not stay on my desk and will change to other.
