The Logitech M340 is a compact wireless mouse made for portability. It's identical in shape to the Logitech Pebble Mouse 2 M350s but comes in a variety of playful colors and patterns. Unlike the Pebble lineup, it doesn't support Bluetooth or multi-device pairing and can only connect via the included 2.4GHz USB receiver.
Our Verdict
The Logitech M340 is middling for work use. It has a compact shape that makes it very portable, so it's well-suited for laptops and working on the go. However, it doesn't support Bluetooth, so you'll have to have a free USB-A port for its wireless receiver to use it. It has decent build quality but feels cheap and only has one programmable button. It also lacks more advanced productivity features, like a scroll wheel with free-scrolling or tilt inputs. It notably doesn't officially support any companion software, but we could connect it to Logitech's Options+ App. See the Configuration Software section for more information.

The Logitech M340 isn't designed for FPS gaming but is usable for casual games.

Compared To Other Mice
The Logitech M340 is a budget portable mouse that's nearly identical to the Logitech Pebble Mouse 2 M350s but with some key differences. Namely, it's available in several different playful colors and patterns. It also doesn't support Bluetooth or multi-device pairing and only connects using the included 2.4GHz USB-A adapter. It also doesn't officially support any companion software, but we connected our unit to Logitech Options+.
Overall, this mouse is a decent no-frills budget option if you need a portable mouse and like the fun colors and patterns that it's available in. However, if you need Bluetooth connectivity or multi-device pairing, the Logitech Pebble Mouse 2 M350s is a better choice. If you want something portable with better build quality and more features, the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S is worth checking out.

Test Results
This mouse has a slim, minimalistic design, a rounded matte plastic body, and a removable top shell. It looks identical to the Logitech Pebble Mouse 2 M350s but is available in various colors with different patterns.
The Tropical Sunrise color option we bought and tested has a white scroll wheel and body, while others have a black one.
Thanks to its slim, low-profile design, this mouse is very portable and can easily slip into pockets. There's also a compartment for storing the USB receiver. Here's a photo of the mouse with the top cover removed.
This mouse has decent build quality. It has a solid, if cheap-feeling, plastic body with a removable top cover attached by magnets that feels flimsy when removed. The mouse doesn't flex or creak when used normally, but there's a slight rattle when you shake it. Logitech indicates that the mouse is made from recycled plastic.
This mouse is quite lightweight in its default configuration with an AA alkaline battery.
If the weight is a major concern for you, you can employ further weight optimization by using a separate AAA adapter with lithium AAA batteries, which is how we achieved the Lowest Weight result.
This mouse is quite small and has a slim, low-profile wedge shape that tapers from the back to the front. It's not suitable for a conventional palm or claw grip but is fairly comfortable to use with a fingertip grip for small to large hands. However, it's not particularly comfortable to use for longer periods.
Logitech advertises that this mouse's battery life is up to 18 months with a single alkaline AA battery. However, this estimate greatly depends on how often you use the mouse.
This mouse is only compatible with the included Logitech USB Nano receiver and doesn't support Bluetooth or any other Logitech receiver.
This mouse has plastic feet with rounded edges. They feel alright on mousepads, but unfortunately, they're very scratchy and loud directly on a desk.
The configuration software allows you to program this mouse's middle button to various commands, including custom or preset gestures, keyboard shortcuts, and an emoji menu, among others.
This mouse has okay click latency. It's well-suited for everyday browsing, productivity tasks, and casual gaming. However, it isn't suitable for fast-paced or competitive gaming.
The CPI performance is adequate for everyday browsing, productivity, and casual gaming.
This mouse doesn't have a specific advertised CPI range; you use a percentage slider to adjust the CPI, and the CPI values aren't shown. Note that this is only an issue if you know you're used to using a specific CPI value on other mice, as you'll have to use trial and error to find a similar feeling setting on this mouse.
Logitech doesn't advertise that this mouse is compatible with any companion software. However, our unit was recognized in the Logi Options+ App. Check out the Configuration Software section for more information.
This mouse's sensor latency performance is satisfactory for everyday browsing, productivity tasks, and casual gaming. As expected, it's not suitable for fast-paced or competitive gaming.
This mouse has a scroll wheel with a rubber surface that provides good grip. It doesn't take much force to operate and is very quiet. It also scrolls smoothly with unpronounced steps.
This mouse has a software setting called Smooth Scrolling enabled by default. This setting aims to minimize the abrupt, jumpy visual movement from scrolling through documents or web pages that can cause eye strain for some people. Scrolling feels slightly less responsive and precise-feeling with this setting. However, you can turn it off in the configuration software.
This mouse's left- and right-click buttons and scroll wheel are extremely quiet and unlikely to bother anyone around you.
The product page for this mouse says that it doesn't support a companion app; however, we could connect it to Logi Options+. It shows up as a generic mouse in the software. Let us know in the comments if you have this mouse and can also use the companion software.
Logi Options+ is easy to navigate and allows you to change a range of expected settings, including pointer speed and scroll behavior. You can also reprogram the middle click to perform gesture controls (commands you can program when you hold a button and move the mouse up, down, left, or right) or open an emoji menu.
You can also program what Logitech calls Smart Actions, which are simplified macros. You can create custom Smart Actions or choose from a list of premade templates.
