Logitech M720 Triathlon: Best Budget Mouse for Work and Play

The M720 Triathlon is one of the best mice for the right price.

The humble computer mouse has gone through quite a journey. The mouse now is a slick and comfortable piece of hardware, but not all mice are built the same.

The Logitech M720 Triathlon Mouse is one of those mice that is well worth the money. Unlike other mice such as those sold at Walmart, this mouse is slightly above the budget price point of other mice.

My previous mouse, a smaller Logitech mouse, was not as comfortable to use.

Unlike the older mouse, this mouse has interesting and unique features in comparison.

One of the unique features to the M720 Triathlon Mouse is the button in the center of the mouse.

The middle button, located near the mouse wheel functions as a way of increasing scroll speed on the cursor. When the button is loose, the scroll speed is much faster on the browsers. Pressing it down when put the scroll speed back to a regular speed on the browser; such a feature is useful for when you are trying to get through long pages quickly on the computer.

The mouse also has three buttons on the left side of the mouse. These buttons can be mapped for any function in any program of your choice. Having these extra buttons make this mouse more useful for people who are looking for easier ways to multitask at the office or for some gamers looking for a budget mouse.

Gamers, specifically, may want a mouse that has more buttons on it. I find the M720 Triathlon mouse to be more useful in an office setting than in the gaming or video editing settings.

What is the price of the M720 Triathlon Mouse?

The Mouse is available for 34.99 at Walmart. It is pricer than some smaller, Logitech mice, but it is worth the additional investment due to its ergonomics and extra buttons.

Samsung Standard IR Remote Control Review 2025.

Samsung Standard IR Remote Control size image.

The Samsung Standard IR Remote Control is a universal remote designed to work with any Samsung TV made after 2012. It is not compatible with older Samsung TV models.

Samsung has been competent at unifying their devices into one interface. This isn’t like in the 1990s or before, when a remote could only work with one particular television. Now, there are many remotes which can work on many generations of Samsung Televisions.

The remote, much like many other universal remotes, is a utilitarian device. It is not the style which matters to the consumer when you pick up this remote. It is in the function where it exceeds in expectations.

Who should buy the Samsung Standard IR Remote?

The people who should buy it are people looking for a cheap replacement for their Samsung remote. Power users who want more features or buttons should look for another remote. This remote is mostly utilitarian in its features. It’s not about bell or whistles but fulfilling a need for replacing a broken remote that came with your Samsung television box. This will appeal to people who are budget conscious here.

The Samsung Standard IR Remote Unboxing and Review

The remote unlike earlier remotes is compact and easy to use. In the photograph above, it fits in the palm of my hand with ease. Unlike earlier generations of remotes, it is easy to store and does not take up much space

The previous remote that I had was specialized in a sense as it had special buttons for Netflix and Samsung TV Plus. However, not having these buttons is not as important to me. I just scroll on the screen to the app button. These special app buttons can be mapped onto one of the four colored buttons that are on the remote.

The functionality of the remote is one of best on the market for a budget device of this price. The remote’s keys are evenly spaced are all within easy reach. The remote weighs quite well within my hands, it is not too heavy and is comfortable in use.

The Samsung Standard IR remote comes in a handy box. It contains two AAA batteries and a quick start guide. The complete manual can be accessed by clicking on the E-Manual button on the lower left side of the remote.

When you purchase the remote, two AAA batteries are provided for you to insert into the back of the remote.

Once you are done with putting in the batteries, the remote should respond to your Samsung TV as long as it was made after 2012 model years.

Where can you purchase a Samsung Standard IR Remote and what is the cost?

At Walmart. This is where I got the device. It was $16.98 in total, which is about half as cheap as the Insignia Samsung remotes that Best Buy sells at their stores.

There isn’t really a need to purchase an expensive TV remote above this price.

Overall, the Samsung IR Remote is not a fancy choice, but it works well and is a great form factor which will make an excellent replacement for any Samsung remote in your house.

Google is clearly a monopoly and the internet needs to change.

According to some judges in our judiciary, Google is a monopoly and has been manipulating the ad market in order to gain advantage. Another case is coming up where Google is in hot water regarding its Chrome browser.

Now, I am generally skeptical of the judiciary. They generally have spent most of their lives in a position that has no elections. They often hold such hearings without any public notice. It is among one of the most elite of branches in the government. However, I am inclined to believe that these judges are not being political for one or another party here. It is clear. Google needs to change its practices.

The internet should have never been allowed to have one company control so much of it. Instead of just having two search engines, we could have much more.

Google is not a company that I really trust anymore. It has been corrupting the internet for many years. Instead of making it a place where information can be traded with other individuals, it just become another shopping mall for consumers.

While shopping isn’t necessarily something that shouldn’t be on the internet, it has made the internet into a place to sell items rather than to trade ideas.

Google’s monopoly of advertising on the internet invites people to focus on monetary values.

AT&T was also a monopoly in a sense. However, the company was actually helping America. Universal Service was not merely a motto but something that they believed in. America was leading the way in the telephone industry. We had an impressive telecommunications system that was built early and helped our industries.

Google on other hand seems content with its control on the internet simply to rely on the advertising revenues. They do not even care about the quality of content on the internet. Their search engine props up establishment sources while in their earlier days, they were actually showing many sites of varying qualities.

Google has also been putting too many sponsored ads on the site. One cannot search for anything without seeing an ad for some product or another here.

I believe such a site is causing our internet to have only a resemblance to what it once was.

Things need to change.

Maybe Google will claw back in these battles. However, the internet needs warriors who will make free again. That creativity should not be stifled by a monopoly here.
