Still dragging your finger across a laptop trackpad for hours, or fighting a tangled mouse cable every time you pack your bag? Here's a fix that costs less than a pizza and has been bought by tens of thousands of Indian shoppers.
The Logitech B170 Wireless Mouse is down to ₹445 from an MRP of ₹895, a solid 50% off. It carries Amazon's Choice and a 4.3-star rating from 79,232 ratings, which is a huge vote of confidence for a no-frills everyday mouse.
WHO IT'S FOR
Students, office workers, work-from-home setups and anyone who just wants a dependable wireless mouse without paying for features they will never use. If your laptop trackpad slows you down in spreadsheets, browsing or presentations, this is the simplest upgrade you can make.
It's also a smart spare to keep in a laptop bag or at a second desk, since it's cheap enough that you won't worry about it.
DESIGN AND BUILD
The B170 keeps things clean and simple. It's a compact black mouse that weighs about 68 grams and measures roughly 9 x 6 cm, so it slips easily into a backpack pocket.
The shape is ambidextrous, which means left-handed users can use it just as comfortably as right-handed users. You get three controls in total: left click, right click and a scroll wheel.
Buyers often point out the compact size. Some find it perfect for smaller hands and travel, while others with larger hands say it feels too small for long sessions. Keep that in mind if you have big hands.
KEY FEATURES IN REAL-WORLD TERMS
- •Plug-and-forget receiver: A tiny USB mini receiver plugs into your laptop and you can pretty much leave it there. No pairing menus and no fiddling with settings.
- •Up to 10 metres of range: You can control slides or a media laptop from across the room, which is handy for presentations or watching shows on a TV hooked up to your laptop.
- •12-month battery life: It runs on a single AA battery, and one is already included in the box. Logitech rates it for up to a year, so battery changes are rare.
- •Optical tracking: The sensor is designed to track smoothly on most everyday surfaces, so it works on a desk, a table or a mouse pad.
- •Wide compatibility: It works with Windows, macOS, Chrome OS and Linux, so it suits almost any laptop or desktop at home or in the office.
PERFORMANCE AND WHAT BUYERS SAY
Across the reviews, customers keep coming back to a few points. They describe the quality as excellent for the price, say it is very easy to use and call it perfect for day-to-day work. One buyer mentioned it took less than five minutes to get going, which sums up how simple it is.
Many reviewers also feel it is worth the price and like how usable it is for regular tasks like browsing, emails and office work.
Not everything is perfect, though. Durability gets mixed feedback. Some buyers say it works smoothly over months of use, while others report the scroll wheel stopping working or the mouse not lasting as long as they hoped.

HOW IT COMPARES
At this price, you'll usually see unbranded or lesser-known wireless mice, many with rechargeable batteries, RGB lights or extra buttons. Those can be fun, but quality and support vary a lot.
The B170 skips the extras and focuses on a reliable connection, long battery life and the backing of a well-known brand. If you want more buttons, Bluetooth or silent clicks, you'll need to spend more on a step-up model. If you just want something that works, the B170 is hard to argue with.
VALUE FOR MONEY
At ₹445, you're paying about half the MRP for a Logitech wireless mouse that tens of thousands of buyers rate highly. Add the included battery and the long battery life, and the running cost is close to nothing for a year.
VERDICT
The Logitech B170 is one of the easiest, safest budget mouse buys right now. It's simple, light and dependable for everyday work, as long as you're fine with a compact size and just three controls. If your trackpad is slowing you down, grab it while it's at this price.
