As quiet as a mouse

Comfy, efficient and quiet as a… mouse

We’re in favour of silent PCS. Nobody wants a bunch of fans doing their best impression of Heathrow’s flight path when you’re trying to work or watch a film. But we can’t say we’ve ever felt the need for a quieter mouse. Even in an open-plan office, colleagues’ clicks are drowned out by the clattering of their keyboards. And who uses a mouse in the quiet carriage on a train?

Nonetheless, Logitech has applied itself to this non-problem and come up with the M330 Silent Plus,lus, a mouse that doesn’t roar. To drive the entirely absent point home, it comes with a set of anti-noise stickers with which you can passive-aggressivelysively decorate your workspace.e.

So far, so obviously conceivedonceived by a Powerpoint of marketingketing executives (yes, that’s the official collective noun). We have to admit,it, though, that not only does the M330330 click discreetly, it’s generally a very goodod mouse. It’s quite small, which is handy if you have the urge to take it to the coffeeff shop just to deliberately not annoy anyone, yet comfortable even in larger hands, as long as you’re right-handed. The rubbery texturtexture is nicely grippy, the scroll wheel iis smooth, and an AA battery shoushould last you a year or two, which is probably more convenie convenient than recharging. It comes wiwith its own wireless dongle, so it’ll work without Bluetoot Bluetooth but needs a USB port. Silent clicking can be a bit disorien disorienting, but, like flat keyboa keyboards, we’ll probably get used to itit. Maybe one day all mice will be mute.
