Logitech B170 USB Mouse
In stock
The Logitech B170 is Logitech's entry-level wireless mouse — ambidextrous, USB plug-and-play, with up to 12 months of battery life, built for basic everyday computing at the lowest price in Logitech's mouse lineup.
Direct answer: is the Logitech B170 USB Mouse right for you?
Yes, if you want the most affordable, no-frills wireless mouse from Logitech for basic browsing and document work with minimal setup. It's not the right fit if you want DPI adjustment, a laser sensor, or features beyond basic point-and-click.
Logitech B170 USB Mouse
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: The B170 is Logitech's most basic wireless mouse — it trades away nothing in reliability (same plug-and-play nano receiver approach as pricier Logitech mice) but offers nothing extra either. It's a sensible choice purely on price and brand trust, not a mouse to buy for any particular feature.
Who should buy this
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)
Who should avoid this
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

Product overview
The B170 connects via a 2.4GHz USB nano receiver with up to 10 meters of wireless range (Logitech's own official spec — note Flipkart's listing separately claims a 20m effective range, which looks like a data inconsistency on the retailer's part; I'd go with Logitech's official 10m figure for accuracy). It uses smooth optical tracking at a fixed 1000 DPI, has 3 buttons (left-click, right-click, and a scroll wheel), and runs on a single AA battery (included) for up to 12 months. It's compatible with Windows 10/11, macOS 10.8+, ChromeOS, and Linux, with optional Logi Options+ customization support. Available colours/variants: The B170 is sold primarily in Black — this is the only color consistently shown across Indian retail listings including your linked Flipkart page, so there don't appear to be multiple color variants to discuss for this model (unlike the M186).

Frequently asked questions
Is the Logitech B170 USB Mouse worth buying?
Yes, if you want the most affordable, no-frills wireless mouse from Logitech for basic browsing and document work with minimal setup. It's not the right fit if you want DPI adjustment, a laser sensor, or features beyond basic point-and-click.
What is the warranty and return policy for the Logitech B170 USB Mouse?
1 Year. Returns: 7 Days Replacement Guarantee.
What is the difference between the Logitech B170 and the Logitech M186?
Both are basic wireless optical mice with similar specs (1000 DPI, 3 buttons, USB nano receiver), but the M186 carries a longer 3-year warranty in India compared to the B170's 1-year warranty, making the M186 the safer long-term pick if both are similarly priced.
Does the Logitech B170 require software installation?
No, it works as a true plug-and-play device — insert the USB nano receiver and the mouse is ready to use immediately, with no drivers or pairing steps needed.
How long does the Logitech B170's battery last?
It runs on a single AA battery (included) and is rated for up to 12 months of battery life, with an on/off switch to help extend that further when the mouse isn't in use.

Be ready for one thing — No DPI adjustment
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: No DPI adjustment. Basic 3-button layout only. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Lowest price point in Logitech's wireless mouse range. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Happy with it, but go in informed
Lowest price point in Logitech's wireless mouse range. The one thing to know before ordering: No DPI adjustment. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Does the one thing I bought it for
Lowest price point in Logitech's wireless mouse range. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: True plug-and-play, no software required. Nothing has surprised me in most of a year.

After a few months
Had this three months now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. True plug-and-play, no software required. Still mildly irritated by one thing: No DPI adjustment. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.
