Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse with 2.4GHz nano receiver, 1000 DPI optical tracking, and up to 12 months of AA battery runtime is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,450. The Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse measures 99mm long, 60mm wide, and 39mm tall, weighs 75.2g with the battery fitted, and connects instantly through a USB Type-A nano receiver that stays plugged into your laptop. Mascom International stocks the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Built for university students at Strathmore, USIU, and the University of Nairobi, plus accountants handling KRA submissions, sales teams working from client offices, and administrative staff running Excel and Word all day. Laptop trackpads slow down spreadsheet work, presentation editing, and long browsing sessions, and they cause repeated clicking mistakes. The Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse solves that with three physical buttons, a line-by-line scroll wheel, and an optical sensor that tracks on almost any desk surface. The contoured shell suits both left-handed and right-handed users, so shared office desks and family computers work for everyone.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock unbranded wireless mice with unclear return terms, Mascom International sells the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse as genuine stock backed by after-sales support from our Nairobi CBD desk. Users consistently report the single AA battery running most of a year before replacement, helped by the on/off switch and auto-sleep mode. At KSh 2,450 the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse sits well below cordless mice with rechargeable cells that cost three times more.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse
How long does the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse battery actually last?
Logitech rates the M185 at up to 12 months on one AA alkaline battery, and the battery ships in the box. That figure assumes typical office use, and it holds up because the mouse carries a physical on/off switch plus an auto-sleep mode that cuts power when the mouse sits idle. Students who switch the mouse off after evening study sessions and office users who power down at 5:00 PM commonly reach the full year. Replacement AA batteries cost KSh 100 to KSh 250 at any Kenyan supermarket, so annual running cost stays under KSh 250.
Does the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse work with my laptop and operating system?
Yes. The Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse supports Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux with no driver installation. You plug the nano receiver into any free USB Type-A port and the cursor responds in seconds. That covers HP, Lenovo, Dell, and ASUS Windows laptops, MacBooks using a USB-A hub or adapter, and Chromebooks issued by Kenyan schools. If your laptop only carries USB-C ports, Mascom International stocks USB-C to USB-A adapters that let the receiver connect. Ask our team at the counter and we will match the right adapter to your machine.
What is the wireless range of the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse?
The Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse holds a 2.4GHz connection up to 10 metres from the nano receiver. In practice you will never sit that far from your own laptop, so the range figure matters most for presentations. Sales staff pitching from a boardroom in Westlands can advance slides while standing away from the machine. The 2.4GHz link avoids the pairing menus that Bluetooth mice require, which matters on shared office computers. Walls and metal cabinets shorten the usable distance, so keep the receiver on the same side of the room.
Is the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse worth KSh 2,450 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 2,450 the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse costs roughly the price of two lunches in Nairobi CBD and replaces a trackpad you fight with daily. Logitech's own study found laptop users who added this mouse worked 30% faster than trackpad users. Cheaper unbranded wireless mice sell for KSh 700 to KSh 1,200 but commonly fail at the scroll wheel or micro-switch within months. The M185 uses the switch and sensor quality that made Logitech the global leader in mice, and Mascom International backs it with a 6-month warranty.
How does the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse compare to the Logitech M170 and M186?
All three share the same 1000 DPI optical sensor, 2.4GHz nano receiver, and 10-metre range, so tracking feels identical. The Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse is the version Logitech keeps in continuous global production with the widest colour availability and the strongest spare-receiver support. The M170 sits slightly lower in Logitech's line-up and the M186 is a regional variant. For Kenyan buyers, availability and warranty backing matter more than the small differences, and Mascom International stocks the M185 consistently rather than in one-off batches.
Can left-handed users use the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse?
Yes. The Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse uses a symmetrical, ambidextrous shell, so the contour curves the same way on both sides. Left-handed users simply swap the primary button in Windows Settings under Bluetooth and devices, or in macOS System Settings under Mouse. This matters for shared desks in Kenyan offices, cyber cafés in Nairobi and Kisumu, and family computers at home where several people use the same machine. Neither hand sits at an awkward angle, and the 75.2g weight keeps long sessions comfortable for either grip.
How does the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse handle Kenyan office and travel conditions?
The M185 tracks on almost any surface thanks to its optical sensor, which covers wooden desks, laminate tables in coworking spaces, and even a notebook cover during a coffee-shop meeting. At 99mm long and 75.2g, the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse drops into a laptop bag pocket without adding noticeable weight during a matatu commute or a Nairobi-to-Nakuru road trip. The nano receiver measures 14.4mm by 18.7mm and weighs 1.8g, so it can stay in the USB port permanently or clip inside your bag without getting lost.
What comes in the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse retail box?
The retail box holds the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse, the USB Type-A nano receiver, one AA alkaline battery already supplied, and the user documentation. There is no charging cable because the M185 runs on a replaceable AA cell rather than a built-in battery. That design choice means you are never stuck waiting for a recharge before a deadline. If the battery dies during a Milimani court filing or a KRA submission, you swap a fresh AA in under ten seconds and keep working.
Do I need to install software for the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse?
No software is required. The Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse works the moment the nano receiver enters a USB port, which Logitech calls plug and play. Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux all recognise it as a standard pointing device. Logitech offers optional Logi Options+ software for its higher-tier mice, but the M185's three buttons and scroll wheel need nothing beyond your operating system's built-in mouse settings. That simplicity suits shared office machines where staff cannot install software without IT approval.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Tracking Hardware
- Optical sensor tracks at 1000 DPI, giving steady cursor control across spreadsheets, documents, and browser windows without jitter
- Three pressed buttons: left click, right click, and a clickable middle button under the scroll wheel for opening links in new tabs
- Line-by-line scroll wheel moves documents in controlled steps rather than free-spinning, which suits long Excel sheets and PDFs
- Tracks on almost any surface including wood desks, laminate tables, and paper, so a dedicated mouse pad stays optional
- Purpose-built for office and laptop use rather than gaming, so the sensor prioritises steady tracking over high-speed movement
- Cursor speed adjusts through Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, or Linux mouse settings without extra software
Wireless Connectivity and Nano Receiver
- 2.4GHz RF wireless link connects through a USB Type-A nano receiver, avoiding Bluetooth pairing menus entirely
- Wireless range reaches up to 10 metres, enough for presentations where you step away from the laptop
- Nano receiver measures 14.4mm wide, 18.7mm tall, and 6.1mm deep, weighing just 1.8g so it can stay plugged in permanently
- Plug and play operation means the cursor responds within seconds of inserting the receiver, with no driver download needed
- The 2.4GHz band avoids the reconnection delays Bluetooth mice show when a laptop wakes from sleep
- Receiver stores nowhere on the mouse body, so keep it in the USB port or a bag pocket to avoid losing it
Power Source and Battery Runtime
- Runs on one AA alkaline battery rated at 2000mAh, supplied inside the retail box so the mouse works immediately
- Battery service life reaches up to 12 months under typical office use, removing frequent replacement trips
- Physical on/off switch lets you cut power completely when packing the mouse into a laptop bag
- Auto-sleep mode drops the mouse into low power draw when idle, extending runtime without any user action
- Replacement AA batteries cost KSh 100 to KSh 250 across Kenyan supermarkets and shops, keeping annual running cost minimal
- Replaceable cell design means no waiting for a recharge, unlike rechargeable mice that die mid-deadline
Compatibility and System Requirements
- Works with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux, covering HP, Lenovo, Dell, ASUS, Apple, and Chromebook machines
- Requires one free USB Type-A port; USB-C-only laptops need an adapter, which Mascom International stocks separately
- No driver installation or account sign-in needed, which suits corporate laptops with locked-down software permissions
- Recommended for laptop use, matching the compact 99mm body to portable machines rather than large desktop setups
- Compatible with docking stations and USB hubs used across Nairobi office setups
- Supported on school and university Chromebooks issued across Kenyan institutions
Build, Shape, and Portability
- Ambidextrous contoured shell fits left and right hands equally, suiting shared desks and family computers
- Measures 99mm deep, 60mm wide, and 39mm tall, sized for small to medium hands and tight desk space
- Weighs 75.2g including the AA battery, light enough to carry daily without noticing it in a laptop bag
- Plastic parts include certified post-consumer recycled content, reducing the amount of new plastic per unit
- Monochromatic colour finish hides everyday desk marks better than glossy two-tone shells
- Retail package measures 87mm by 126mm by 118.5mm and weighs 142.4g, easy to carry home or courier
Package Contents
- Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse
- USB Type-A nano receiver (1.8g, 14.4mm x 18.7mm x 6.1mm)
- One AA alkaline battery, pre-supplied
- User documentation and quick start guide
Note: No charging cable ships with the M185 because it runs on a replaceable AA cell. Mascom International also stocks USB-C to USB-A adapters for laptops without a full-size USB port, plus mouse pads and spare AA batteries.
