Logitech Pebble i345
but that laughably minor difference in design drives home that the Pebble i345’s existence may be nothing more than Seo-driven marketing aimed at all the people buying mice for their ipads for the first time.
The Pebble i345 certainly worked fine with many other devices. I paired it with my Macbook, and the only option I missed over my Magic Mouse was the ability to perform sideways scrolling. I paired it with my Windows gaming PC, and it worked fine. The only thing it didn’t work great with was my iphone: I could get it to pair, technically, but I couldn’t do anything with it beyond that. Bummer.
It’s a good mouse, though, regardless of which device you’re using. The 1000 dpi optical sensor allows for fluid tracking, and Logitech claims you can eke 18 months of battery
PROS
• Magic Mouse-like build is great for portability.
• Quiet button clicks.
• Scroll wheel works well with ipad.
CONS
• Lightweight plastic body doesn’t feel very durable.
• Technically just a rebranded Pebble M350.
PRICE
$30
COMPANY
Logitech life out of its single AA battery “based on your use.” I have a feeling mine would run out before that.
BOTTOM LINE
The Logitech i345 may work fine with other devices, but its size and options make it well-suited for the portability expected from a device like the ipad Pro. The plastic build quality isn’t astounding, but its weight, price, button options, and ease of pairing do much to soften that drawback. I even like it so much that I’m tempted to start using it with my Macbook. ■
