Full details →Who the Logitech B170 USB Mouse is for
Buy it if: Buyers wanting the cheapest reliable wireless mouse in Logitech's lineup Students, basic office use, or a spare/backup mouse Anyone prioritizing plug-and-play simplicity over features Both left- and right-handed users (ambidextrous design)
Avoid it if: Buyers wanting adjustable DPI or higher precision tracking Gamers or anyone doing detailed design/creative work needing sensor accuracy Anyone wanting a rechargeable mouse (uses a replaceable AA battery) Buyers who specifically want the M186 experience — the B170 is a step below it in Logitech's own lineup, with a shorter standard warranty in most regions
Who the Anker 555 USB-C Hub 8-in-1 PowerExpand Adapter is for
Buy it if: Anyone needing many ports at 1080p or 1440p, or 4K where refresh rate does not matter.
Avoid it if: Anyone driving a 4K monitor for daily work -- 30 Hz pointer stutter is genuinely unpleasant.
