Logitech Marathon Mouse M705 — Power That Lasts for Years
The Logitech Marathon Mouse M705 is engineered for those who demand long-term reliability and comfort. True to its name, the Marathon Mouse can run for up to three years on a single set of batteries, making it one of the most energy-efficient devices in its class. Its sculpted, right-handed shape guides your hand to a natural position, providing comfortable control all day long, whether you’re at the office or working from home.
Performance is where the M705 truly shines, featuring Hyper-fast scrolling. With a single flick of the nearly frictionless metal scroll wheel, you can fly through long documents and web pages, or switch to click-to-click mode for precise navigation in spreadsheets or photo galleries. To fully customize the additional thumb buttons and monitor your battery levels, installing the Logitech Options or SetPoint software is highly recommended to unlock the mouse’s full potential.

? FAQ
Why is my M705 scroll wheel spinning freely without clicking?
This is a feature called “Hyper-fast scrolling.” The M705 has a physical toggle button located right behind the scroll wheel. Press it to switch between the free-spinning mode (ideal for long pages) and the traditional ratcheted (click-to-click) mode for precision.
Can I use the M705 with a different Logitech receiver?
Yes, provided the receiver is a “Logitech Unifying” receiver (marked with a small orange star-shaped logo). You will need to use the Logitech Unifying Software to pair your mouse with the new receiver.
Why does the mouse pointer jump or skip on my screen?
This is often caused by wireless interference or a dirty sensor. Try moving the USB receiver closer to the mouse (using a USB extension cable if necessary) and ensure the laser sensor on the bottom of the mouse is free from dust or hair.
