Logitech M170 Wireless Mouse is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,200, carrying a 2.4 GHz wireless link, a 1000 DPI optical sensor, a 12-month AA battery, and a USB nano receiver that weighs just 1.8 grams. The Logitech M170 connects to almost any computer within three seconds of plugging in the receiver, with no drivers, no pairing screens, and no software download. Mascom International stocks the Logitech M170 at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Walk in and try the Logitech M170 on a live machine before you buy.
Built for students at the University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University, Strathmore, USIU and Daystar, the Logitech M170 solves a problem most laptop owners already know well. A trackpad slows you down the moment real work starts. Selecting cells in an Excel sheet, dragging photos into a WhatsApp Web chat, or scrolling a 40-page PDF during a late Zoom class turns into a wrist exercise. Accountants closing KRA returns, cyber café operators serving walk-in customers, NGO field staff typing reports in Turkana or Garissa, and sales teams working out of laptop bags all reach for the same fix. The Logitech M170 is that fix at KSh 2,200.
Unlike the unbranded KSh 700 mice sold on River Road, the Logitech M170 carries a real optical sensor, a genuine 2.4 GHz radio, and Logitech's own build standards. Users consistently report the same two things: the battery lasts roughly a year, and the connection does not drop mid-click. At Mascom International, we're seeing the Logitech M170 leave the shelf faster than any other mouse we stock, mostly to buyers who bought a cheap mouse first and came back within three months. Order the Logitech M170 for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties, or collect it from our Kimathi Street counter today.
Common Questions About the Logitech M170
Is the Logitech M170 worth KSh 2,200 in Kenya's market?
Yes, and the arithmetic is short. At KSh 2,200 across a 12-month battery cycle, the Logitech M170 costs about KSh 6 per day. A KSh 700 unbranded mouse usually needs replacing within four to six months, and it eats two AA batteries in that time at roughly KSh 150 each. Buy three cheap mice in a year and you have spent KSh 2,100 plus batteries, with dropped clicks in between. The Logitech M170 asks for one payment and one battery. Nearly every buyer who has done both maths comes back to the Logitech M170.
How long does the Logitech M170 battery actually last?
Logitech rates the Logitech M170 at up to 12 months on the single AA battery included in the box. That figure holds for ordinary office and study use, roughly six to eight hours a day. Two features do the work: a physical on/off switch under the base, and an auto-sleep mode that powers the sensor down when the mouse sits still. Flick the switch off when the Logitech M170 goes into your bag and you stretch that year further. Heavy users report eight to ten months, which is still far beyond any KSh 700 alternative.
Does the Logitech M170 need software or drivers to install?
No. The Logitech M170 is plug and play. Slide the nano receiver out of the battery compartment, push it into any free USB-A port, and the cursor moves within about three seconds. There is no pairing code, no Bluetooth menu, no Logitech account, and no installer. This matters in Kenya, where cyber cafés, school computer labs, and county offices run locked-down machines that block software installation. The Logitech M170 works on those machines exactly the same way it works on a personal laptop, which is why IT teams keep ordering them in tens.
What is the difference between the Logitech M170 and the Logitech M185?
The two are close cousins. Both use 2.4 GHz wireless, a 1000 DPI optical sensor, three buttons, and a 12-month AA battery. The main split is the receiver: the Logitech M185 supports Logitech Unifying, so one receiver can run a Unifying keyboard and mouse together on a single USB port. The Logitech M170 uses a dedicated receiver paired to that mouse alone. If you only need a mouse, the Logitech M170 does the identical job for less money. If you plan to add a Unifying keyboard later, the M185 saves you a port.
Will the Logitech M170 work with my laptop, TV box or tablet?
The Logitech M170 works with any device that has a full-size USB-A port and accepts a standard mouse. That covers Windows 10 and 11, macOS, Chrome OS, Linux, most Android TV boxes, and many Android tablets through a USB-C OTG adapter. Because the Logitech M170 identifies itself as a plain USB mouse, the host does not need a driver. On a MacBook or a newer Ultrabook with USB-C only, add a KSh 1,200 USB-C hub Mascom International stocks those alongside the Logitech M170.
Is the Logitech M170 comfortable for left-handed users?
Yes. The Logitech M170 uses a fully ambidextrous shell, meaning both flanks mirror each other and neither thumb gets a moulded rest that only suits one hand. Left-handed users can swap the primary button in Windows Settings under Bluetooth and devices, or in macOS System Settings under Mouse, in about ten seconds. The 97.7 mm by 61.5 mm by 35.2 mm body suits small and medium hands and shared desks. Cyber cafés and family households find the Logitech M170 useful precisely because nobody has to fight the shape.
How does the Logitech M170 handle dust and everyday desk surfaces in Kenya?
The optical sensor on the Logitech M170 tracks on almost any surface laminate desks, painted wood, paper, a hard notebook cover, or a fabric mouse pad. It will not track on clear glass or a mirror, which no optical mouse of this class does; a KSh 250 mouse pad settles that. Dust is the real Nairobi issue. Wipe the two glide pads and the sensor window with a dry cloth every few weeks. That single habit keeps the Logitech M170 gliding smoothly through Industrial Area and Mombasa Road offices.
What happens if I lose the Logitech M170 USB receiver?
Be honest with yourself here: the receiver is paired to that specific Logitech M170 at the factory and cannot be replaced or re-paired. Losing it means losing the mouse. The fix is built into the design the receiver stores inside the battery compartment under the top shell. Pop the cover, slot it in, and it travels with the mouse. Buyers who keep the Logitech M170 in a laptop bag through daily matatu commutes should form this habit from day one. Mascom International points this out to every customer at the counter.
Technical Specifications
Optical Tracking and Cursor Control
- 1000± DPI optical sensor, the standard resolution for office work on 1080p and 1440p screens
- Smooth line-by-line tracking across laminate desks, paper, wood and standard fabric mouse pads
- No tracking on glass or mirrored surfaces — a basic mouse pad resolves this for KSh 250
- Fixed DPI with no adjustment button, keeping cursor speed consistent for spreadsheet and document work
- Cursor speed still adjustable in Windows, macOS, Chrome OS and Linux pointer settings
- Sensor sits centrally under the shell, so the tracking point matches where your hand expects it
Wireless Connection and Receiver Hardware
- 2.4 GHz wireless radio with a working range of up to 10 metres from the receiver
- USB-A nano receiver measures 23.1 x 18.7 x 6.6 mm and weighs 1.8 grams barely protrudes from a laptop port
- Receiver is factory-paired to this mouse only; it cannot be swapped or re-paired to another unit
- Storage slot inside the battery compartment holds the receiver during transport
- Connects in roughly three seconds from the moment the receiver enters the USB port
- No Bluetooth involved, so the mouse works on desktops and lab machines with no Bluetooth radio
Battery Life and Power Management
- One AA alkaline battery included in the box, rated for up to 12 months of typical use
- Physical on/off switch on the underside cuts drain completely when the mouse is packed away
- Auto-sleep mode idles the sensor after inactivity and wakes on the first movement
- Battery swap takes under 20 seconds — slide the top cover off, replace, close
- Runs on standard AA cells sold at any Kenyan supermarket or kiosk for KSh 100 to KSh 200
- Rechargeable NiMH AA cells also work, useful for offices cutting recurring battery spend
Button Layout and Scrolling Behaviour
- Three buttons total: left click, right click, and middle click through the scroll wheel
- Two-dimensional optical scroll wheel with defined line-by-line steps for controlled document scrolling
- Middle click opens links in a new browser tab — a daily time saver for research and admin work
- Buttons swap left-to-right in Windows or macOS settings for left-handed users
- No side buttons or DPI toggle, which keeps the layout simple for shared and public machines
- Tactile click feedback lets you confirm a press without watching the screen
Shape, Size and Daily Durability
- Fully ambidextrous shell suits left and right hands equally, useful on shared household desks
- Measures 97.7 mm long, 61.5 mm wide and 35.2 mm tall — sized for small to medium hands

- Logitech-rated build standards, with a measured product carbon footprint of 4.05 kg CO2e
Device and Operating System Compatibility
- Works with Windows 11, Windows 10, macOS, Chrome OS and Linux with no driver install
