Logitech M240 Silent is a Bluetooth wireless mouse with SilentTouch clicking, 1000 DPI optical tracking, and up to 18 months of battery life from a single AA cell, now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 3,200. The Logitech M240 Silent connects straight to your laptop over Bluetooth Low Energy with no dongle and no USB port used up. Walk in and try the Logitech M240 Silent at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Stocked in Graphite, Off-White, and Rose.
Click noise is a real problem in the places Kenyans actually work. Open-plan offices along Upper Hill and Westlands, co-working desks in Kilimani, hospital night stations, radio and podcast booths, and shared family sitting rooms in Rongai or Kahawa all punish a loud mouse. The Logitech M240 Silent cuts click sound by 90% compared to the Logitech M185, so you feel the click but the person beside you does not hear it. Accountants closing books at 11:00 PM, university students in shared hostel rooms at Kenyatta and Strathmore, and parents working after the children sleep all get the same benefit: quiet input without giving up click feel.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock generic no-name Bluetooth mice with three-month lifespans, Mascom International sells the genuine Logitech M240 Silent rated for 5 million clicks and backed by our Nairobi CBD service desk. At Mascom International, we are seeing steady demand for the Logitech M240 Silent from buyers who switched to slim laptops with only two USB-C ports and cannot spare one for a receiver. Users consistently report that the AA battery outlasts a full academic year. Order the Logitech M240 Silent on +254 708 852 521, or take pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Logitech M240 Silent
Is the Logitech M240 Silent actually silent, or just marketed that way?
The clicks are 90% quieter than the Logitech M185, measured in decibels by an independent lab at one metre. That is a real hardware change, not a software trick. SilentTouch dampens the switch mechanism so the tactile snap under your finger stays intact while the audible noise largely disappears. In a quiet bedroom you hear a faint muffled tap instead of a sharp click. The scroll wheel is also damped. Users in shared Nairobi apartments report that partners sleeping in the same room stop noticing the mouse entirely.
How does the Logitech M240 Silent connect if there is no USB receiver in the box?
Through Bluetooth Low Energy directly to your laptop, tablet, or phone. You hold the pairing button underneath, open Bluetooth settings, and select M240 in the device list. Setup takes under 30 seconds. Nothing plugs into your machine, which matters if you own a MacBook Air, HP OmniBook, ASUS Zenbook, or any thin laptop with two ports. The retail Logitech M240 Silent does not include a Logi Bolt receiver that is the separate M240 for Business SKU. Bluetooth range reaches 10 metres.
How long does the Logitech M240 Silent battery really last in daily use?
Up to 18 months on one AA battery, with the cell pre-installed at the factory. Auto-sleep drops power draw when your hand leaves the mouse, which is where most of that figure comes from. Heavy eight-hour daily use will land shorter, roughly 10 to 14 months by most reports. The practical win for Kenya is simple: no charging cable, no USB-C port occupied overnight, and no dead mouse during a power cut. A replacement AA costs under KSh 100 at any duka.
Will the Logitech M240 Silent work with my laptop, iPad, or Android phone?
Yes, across all of them. Bluetooth Low Energy support covers Windows 10 and 11, macOS 11 or later, iPadOS 14 or later, ChromeOS, Linux, and Android 9.0 or later. Basic pointing and scrolling work immediately on every one of those without installing anything. The Logitech M240 Silent is also certified Works With Chromebook, which matters for students issued Chromebooks. Full button customisation through Logi Options+ requires Windows or macOS. It pairs to one device at a time.
Who should buy the Logitech M240 Silent, and who should not?
Buy it if you work in shared or quiet spaces, travel light, and want a compact mouse that disappears into a laptop bag. It suits university students, accountants, lawyers drafting late, medical staff on ward rounds, journalists in newsrooms, and anyone on a slim laptop. Skip it if you need multi-device Easy-Switch pairing, thumb buttons for browser navigation, or high-DPI tracking for photo editing on a 4K monitor. Gamers should look at a wired or low-latency gaming mouse instead.
Is KSh 3,200 fair for the Logitech M240 Silent in Kenya's market?
It sits in the honest middle of the market. Unbranded Bluetooth mice sell for KSh 800 to KSh 1,500 on Nairobi's street stalls and typically fail within months as the switches wear out. The Logitech M240 Silent is rated for 5 million clicks with a mean time to failure above 150,000 hours. Spread across an 18-month battery cycle, KSh 3,200 works out under KSh 6 per day. Mascom International prices it against genuine stock, not grey imports.
Does the Logitech M240 Silent suit left-handed users?
Yes. The shell is ambidextrous, meaning it is symmetrical rather than sculpted toward one hand, so left-handed and right-handed users get identical comfort. There are no side thumb buttons that would sit awkwardly under the wrong hand. Kenya's schools and workplaces still rarely stock left-handed hardware, and this is one of the few mice you can hand to any staff member without asking their dominant hand first. Households sharing one desk find this useful too.
How well does the Logitech M240 Silent hold up to Kenyan conditions?
The shell is solid plastic with no rubber side grips, which is deliberate rubber coatings peel and go sticky in Nairobi's humidity and Mombasa's coastal air. Fewer moving parts means less to fail. There is no charging port, so no connector to fill with dust from matatu rides or upcountry travel. The glide feet handle laminate desks, wooden tables, and mousepads equally. Wipe it with a dry cloth. Very glossy glass surfaces will need a mousepad.
What software does the Logitech M240 Silent need, and is it required?
None to start. Pair it and it works. Logi Options+ on Windows or macOS is optional and lets you reassign the middle button, adjust pointer speed, and check firmware. Download it free from logitech.com/optionsplus over any Safaricom, Airtel, or fibre connection the installer is small. Skipping the software costs you nothing beyond customisation. There is no forced account creation and no subscription attached to the Logitech M240 Silent at any point.

- Works with Windows 10 and 11, macOS 11 or later, iPadOS 14 or later, ChromeOS, Linux, and Android 9.0 or later
- Certified Works With Chromebook, so it pairs cleanly with school-issued and NGO-issued Chromebooks in Kenya

- No Logi Bolt receiver ships with this retail SKU; the receiver belongs to the separate M240 for Business version
Battery Life and Power Behaviour
- Runs on one AA alkaline battery, pre-installed at the factory so the mouse works the moment you unbox it
- Up to 18 months of battery life under typical use, removing charging from your daily routine entirely
- Auto-sleep cuts drain when the mouse sits idle, which is what stretches a single cell across so many months
- Replacement AA cells cost well under KSh 100 anywhere in Kenya, from a Nairobi supermarket to a rural duka
- No charging port and no internal cell means the Logitech M240 Silent keeps working through any power outage
- Battery compartment sits under a magnetic top shell that lifts off — no screws and no tools needed
Shape, Size and Everyday Comfort
- Ambidextrous contoured shell suits left-handed and right-handed users identically with no shape penalty
- Dimensions of 99mm length, 60mm width, and 39mm height place it in the compact-to-medium mouse class
- Weight of roughly 73.8 grams including the AA battery keeps wrist strain low across long working days
- Low-profile height suits fingertip and claw grips; users with large hands may prefer a fuller-bodied mouse
- Slim enough to slide into a laptop sleeve pocket for matatu commutes and upcountry travel without a case
- No side thumb buttons, keeping the profile narrow and the shell symmetrical for either hand
Build Materials and Colour Choices
- Graphite finish uses a minimum 48% certified post-consumer recycled plastic in its plastic components
- Off-White and Rose finishes use a minimum 37% certified post-consumer recycled plastic in their components
- Logitech certifies the M240 Silent as carbon neutral, with product and packaging carbon impact offset
- Paper packaging comes from FSC-certified forests, reducing waste for buyers who care about disposal
- Matte plastic shell resists fingerprints better than gloss and avoids the peeling rubber coatings age badly
- Three stocked colours at Mascom International: Graphite, Off-White, and Rose
Setup and Software Customisation
- Pairing takes under 30 seconds — hold the underside button, open Bluetooth settings, select M240 from the list
- Works out of the box with zero software installed; pointing and scrolling need no drivers on any supported platform
- Logi Options+ for Windows and macOS reassigns the middle button and tunes pointer speed to your preference
- Logi Options+ also reports battery status, so you replace the AA before it dies rather than after
- Free download at logitech.com/optionsplus — a small installer over Safaricom, Airtel, Zuku, or Faiba connections
- No account signup, no subscription, and no ongoing fee attached to the mouse or its software
