I bought this mouse recently. I like the mouse overall, but initially I had a horrible experience. The cursor kept jumping all over the place. On both Mac and PC. I noticed so many negative reviews online and multiple people complaining on Reddit. Couldn't find a solution. And there is no way to do a firmware update on this mouse (on either Mac or PC), cause Logitech's firmware update tool does not recognize this mouse yet.
Then finally, someone on a SD thread posted a hint informing me that the Logitech Bolt receiver doesn't work well with USB 3 ports. So if you plug it to a USB 2 port, or use a USB 2 extension cable (if you only have USB 3 ports), the problem goes away. And sure enough, that worked. The receiver is connected tot the KVM switch on my monitor via an old extension cable and the problem went away. It's still not perfect though. A couple of times I've had to just turn the mouse off and On again, but that's been a rare occurrence.
Bottom line - good mouse but firmware sucks. Either use Bluetooth or connect the Bolt receiver to a USB 2 port, or use a USB 2 extension cable.
Yes. Of course. But lots of reasons why one might not want to use Bluetooth.
For one - if you have multiple Bluetooth devices, you may not want to share Bluetooth bandwidth. For people with permanent setups and extra usb ports on the back of the computer, it's better to just plug the dongle than permanently assign a portion of your Bluetooth bandwidth to the mouse.
Also, for those that use a KVM switch, using the dongle is better so you don't have to bother hitting the button on the bottom of the mouse to swap setups. I regularly switch between my Mac, my bootcamp windows partition on my Mac, my work laptop and the steam deck. That's one extra device than the 3 channels available on the mouse. Having the dongle plugged in makes it seamless, and don't have to worry about changing channels on the mouse or pairing/unpairing

If anyone is still going to order, don't forget to click the box for a free month of Adobe CC if you want that. I meant to do that, but I just realized I didn't when I ordered and it doesn't look like there's a way of getting the offer after you ordered.
Just returned the 604. Too light so it feels cheap.
LOl sorry made me chuckle a bit because for me, a light mouse is what makes me think it feels expensive.I'm used to gaming mice that way hardly anything

I doubt it'll ship anytime soon with the influx of orders from this sale. Probably another week at best.
Yup... will be delivered tomorrow

Lol I received an email from Logitech saying my order is delayed. Then a few hours later they emailed saying it's been shipped. Funny.
