 A mouse that you can rely upon and work hard and long July 4, 2008
Mr. P. Stewkesbury (Kent, UK)
We've all dabbled with wireless devices, and no doubt we've all experienced a few flops! I can remember buying cheap mouse & keyboard combinations from the Aldi supermarket for just 14.99 - novel on day one, but after experiencing poor battery life, and frequent dropped letters when typing, and erratic cursor movement, these cheap versions usually end up in the loft after just a few weeks.
I don't bother with wireless keyboards any more, nobody really sits in a bean bag 4 feet away from their monitor typing letters and emails! Keep your keyboard wired to your PC, and never drop another letter.
Then, just get yourself this mouse. I have bought many for colleagues over the last few years. All have been delighted with it.
It is very ergonomic and fits perfectly into my right hand grip, but also - if I want to rest my right hand, I can use it perfectly well with my left.
It has every button you could ever need; I feel lost nowadays when I encounter a mouse without a scroll wheel and back & forward buttons. The bezel around the scroll wheel can be rocked up & down to page up and down on screen, and the scroll wheel itself can be rocked left & right to move across the screen (ideal on broad web pages or wide spreadsheets). In the new Firefox 3 browser you can hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out to make everything on screen bigger or smaller - you can use this just as a temporary zoom, or if you want bigger fonts etc you can leave it set and Firefox will remember your preference - very handy for older users or people with vision problems, and so easy to adjust if you're sharing a PC.
Much has been written about the laser sensor, I would just say that it does all that I need it to do, and does it well - the cursor reliably goes where I point. I use whatever mouse mat has most recently been gifted to me.
The real winning point for this mouse over so many others available on the market is the battery life and recharging. It seems to me that there are still relatively few mice available with a wired charging pod/base where you can place it for recharging when not in use. Replacing AA batteries in the base of your mouse seems positively primitive to me now - it is never convenient, you always suffer for a period of time before you finally resolve that you must now change the batteries, and worst of all it's avoidable - pick the right product and it's a problem you don't need to deal with!!
I work my mouse hard and long, I spend far too many hours on the PC, and it gets relatively little chance to recover - when the PC goes off an energy saving auto-switch takes all the peripheral power off too. I guess that for 8-10 hours a day of work, this mouse is surviving on just 1-2 hours of charging.
The power indicator is very useful, it indicates three full green bars when fully charged, dropping to a single red bar as it becomes exhausted, but even then it'll keep working for an hour or more in the red.
It's a great tool, use it well and you'll actually become more efficient.
If you've tried the rest, I recommend you buy this - it seems to be the best!

As a replacement for my Apple Mightly Mouse I think this is wonderful. It was just a case of plugging in the base USB and it worked with no installers out the box. I'm very happy with it. It's comfortable, accurate and not prone to sticking like the Apple Mighty Mouse.
If you are fed up cleaning the Mighty Mouse and want a reliable, high quality Mac alternative, then this is it.

As good as it gets for a small travel mouse packed with features. Micro receiver is a bid plus.

I've had mine for about two years now, its been the best mouse i've had, its extemely smooth and accurate, people have been complaining about it feeling cheap and light but to me it seems well made and quite sturdy, put next to a microsoft mouse there is no comparision, its been great for playing games with too, however it has just recently broke, sometimes it just doesnt respond or it repsonds really slowly and gerky, it does have a three year warranty and i've just contacted logitech so they should sort it. Hmm ive had no problem with the battery life either, ive had mine for two years and it still lasts for weeks without charging it once, im wondering if they keep it in the docking bay whenever they dont use it? maybe they mess with the zero point or whatever, i just leave mine out until it needs goes red and needs charging. even though mines broke now im still giving it 5 stars because its so sexy, and logitech seem to have a good customer service x
 It just doesn't "feel" like Logitech July 30, 2007

I received my mouse and I was very much looking forward to using it. Once I got it installed (after about 5 seconds), I thought I'd put it to work straight away. TO me it feels weird...
My old mouse is a Logitech, and it's one of the best mice I've ever had. The only reason I wanted to replace it, was because it's too light for my gaming. The new mouse feels cheap, and clunky and it's certainly not the quality I'd expect from Logitech. My fingers have to be about 1 inch apart to use the left and right mouse buttons, which seems a bit much, but perhaps I am just used to my old mouse.
The design of the mouse itself looks very good, and I am sure that after a while I will get used to the feel of this mouse. The technology inside the mouse is also very good, but I just can't help thinking that this is not a genuine Logitech, even though I KNOW it is.
