Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse Graphite
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse Graphite (910-007462) - 2 Years Local Warranty
Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse — No Dongle, No Port Used
The Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse Graphite (910-007462) connects over Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 with no receiver at all, which is exactly what modern thin-and-light laptops need. Logitech's own description is direct: “Bluetooth connection — no dongle or port required.” For Singapore's hybrid workforce carrying two-port ultrabooks and USB-C docks, that frees a port for something that actually needs one.
Optical IR LED Sensor at 1000 DPI
Logitech specifies an optical IR LED sensor rated at 1000 ±150 dpi with a 133 Hz report rate — smooth, predictable tracking for documents, spreadsheets and browsing. Three buttons (left, right and middle) and controlled line-by-line scrolling keep the control set simple enough that no user needs training.
Compact, Ambidextrous and 75.4 g with the Battery In
At 100 × 60 × 38 mm and 75.4 g including the battery (52.3 g without), the M196 travels easily and still fills the hand properly on a desk. Logitech describes the shape as a compact, contoured ambidextrous design, so a single SKU covers left- and right-handed staff. Wireless range is rated at a minimum of 10 metres.
12-Month Battery Life and 67% Certified Recycled Plastic
A single user-replaceable AA battery runs the M196 for up to 12 months, with an on/off switch on the underside and an auto-sleep mode between sessions. Logitech states that plastic parts in the M196 include certified post-consumer recycled plastic — 67% for the Graphite finish supplied here — which is a figure you can quote directly in a green-procurement submission.

Compatibility & Software Support
Operating systems officially listed by Logitech for the M196:
- Windows 10 or later
- macOS 11 or later
Microsoft Swift Pair is supported on Windows, which reduces pairing to a single on-screen confirmation. Logitech does not list ChromeOS, Linux, iPadOS or Android support for the M196 — if you need a mouse validated for those platforms, ask SourceIT and we will point you at the right model rather than assume compatibility.
Logitech publishes no downloads for the M196 and lists its buttons as plain left, right and middle, so it is not a Logi Options+ device and its buttons are not programmable. That keeps deployment simple: pair once and the mouse is done.

Frequently Asked Questions — Logitech M196
Does the M196 need a USB receiver?
No. It connects directly over Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, so no dongle is supplied and no USB port is consumed. That is the main reason to choose it over the 2.4 GHz M170 or M185.
Which operating systems are officially supported?
Logitech lists Windows 10 or later and macOS 11 or later. ChromeOS, Linux, iPadOS and Android are not listed by Logitech for this model, so we do not claim them. Windows users also get Microsoft Swift Pair for one-tap pairing.
What colours does the M196 come in?
Logitech offers Graphite, Off-white and Rose. This listing is Graphite (910-007462); Off-white is 910-007463. Logitech does not publish a part number for Rose — contact SourceIT for availability and lead time.
Is it a silent mouse?
Logitech does not make a SilentTouch or noise-reduction claim for the M196, so we do not either. If quiet clicking is the requirement, specify the M240 Silent Bluetooth Mouse or the M221 Silent.
Can the buttons be customised in Logi Options+?
No. Logitech publishes no downloads for the M196 and lists its three buttons as standard left, right and middle. For programmable buttons, look at the Signature M650 or MX Anywhere 3S.
What sustainability figures can we quote in a tender?
Logitech states that plastic parts in the M196 include certified post-consumer recycled plastic at 67% for Graphite and 66% for Off-white and Rose. That is a model-specific published figure, so it is safe to cite.
Does this mouse come with a Singapore warranty?
Yes. Every M196 sold by SourceIT comes with 2 years local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice.
