Logitech’s always churning out mice every few months and now they’ve come up with the M515 which works on “soft” surfaces like a bed, a couch (hence the name Couch Mouse). The bottom surface of the mouse is constructed differently in that it is sealed, which makes it easy to glide on fabric compared to other mice which might get fibers or whatnot caught up in unwanted areas of the device (particularly the sensor area).

The Logitech M515 Couch Mouse features a so-called hand-detection sensor, which only turns the mouse on when your hand is on it and supposedly turns it off or lets it go to sleep if not. This type of mouse would ideally be used for HTPC purposes. It also features Logitech’s ever-so-lovable hyper-fast scroll wheel but click-to-click scrolling mode is also available if the need arises.

Its receiver is of the Unifying type which is the same as the ones used by the Anywhere and Performance MX mice, along with other Logitech mice/keyboards.
