* Mom Central received a Logitech Zone Touch Mouse T400 in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
The Logitech Zone Touch Mouse brightens up a workspace with a pop of fun, glossy color. This wireless mouse also blends classic mouse functions with a new twist: a glass touch zone on top that replaces the typical, slow scroll wheel. The touch zone makes scrolling feel more natural and require less active work by allowing for simple swipes to indicate up, down, and even sideways scrolling – similar to the screen of an iPad. This Logitech design garnered the attention of technology experts, earning Design & Engineering Showcase Honors at the 2013 Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas.
The 2.4 GHz mouse is wireless and uses a Logitech Unifying receiver that once plugged into your computer’s USB port, lets you easily connect up to six compatible wireless mice and keyboards to the same receiver. It’s so small that there’s no need to unplug it when you move around, so you won’t have to worry about losing it. Despite a lack of direct connection to the computer, the mouse navigates smoothly with a gliding motion and points and clicks precisely. Soft rubber side grips and an ergonomic shape design allow the hand to rest naturally for long workdays or browsing sessions. Using the mouse feels comfortable and light.
Optional Logitech SetPoint software that comes with the mouse enables custom, personalized settings, additional swipe gestures, and even smoother motion. The mouse holds a battery life of a year and a half and a small light on the bottom of the mouse blinks red to indicate when the battery must be replaced.
The Logitech Zone Touch Mouse color options come from Logitech’s new Eye Candy Color Collection, which features some of their most consumer-loved mouse options in fresh fashion-inspired colors and whimsical patterns. The collection aims to add a peep of color and personality to ordinary workspaces.
