I should mention also that battery life is really not an issue anymore,
I have a Logitech M510 that goes a year on batteries, My new Logitech
M705 is advertized to go 3 years on a pair of alkaline AA cells.

I've been using M705's with multiple PCs since 2013 and love them. I get
more than two years on a set of AAs, but who knows how fresh the cells were
to begin with.

One thing about the M705 is that it can run on a single battery if you're
willing to trade longer battery life for less weight. I don't mind the
weight, so I use two cells. Also, there's an LED on top of the mouse that
normally lights up green, but changes to red when the batteries are weak.
Lastly, I love the mechanical switch that disables the wheel detent, making
it easy to scroll up/down at high speed.
