Excellent Mouse

Pros: Overall initial impression ties this mouse with my old MX1000. Excellent mouse.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: "Dragging a brick around"? Are we talking about the same mouse? This thing glides effortlessly across my desk, and my desk is not the cleanest in the world. Non-rechargeable batteries? Buy some AA rechargeables and use those. A battery you can't replace always kills you in the end. My MX1000 didn't last two days without recharge after four years of use. I tried the MX Revolution, and liked it overall, except for its base station and non-replaceable battery. It lasted me three days before it needed a recharge... brand new! I returned it and got this mouse. Much better. Besides, it shows right here on the site that it uses AA batteries. Don't complain about the product when you should have done more research to begin with. And if you are having problems with the mouse, always check it out to see if your particular unit is defective before you start telling everyone that the model is junk.

Super fast and very customizable

Pros: Set the scroll wheel to free-spinning mode and fly through hundreds of pages a second. Driver allows for very thorough customization of the buttons and behaviour for multiple programs. (I consider it an 8-button mouse since the horizontal scroll can be customized.) Average life should be 9-12 months on two AA batteries, unless power button is used to further conserve battery life. Decent weight for good handling.

Cons: Scroll wheel on stepped mode is very rickety. Not all features are available for every button, although every one can be given a keyboard command. (The guy with Firefox trouble could fix his problem this way using Alt+Arrow commands.) Insists on retaining commands for "core" programs you may not be using (IE, PowerPoint) even when deleted. A few programs do not like free-wheel mode (Wordpad).

Other Thoughts: Very useful for Battlefield 2142 and other games. Extra buttons allow for five functions to be moved from the keyboard (such as three weapons and the two BF comm roses) for a major edge. You can also control Winamp without being anywhere near the computer.

Pros: - Very responsive
- Nice mouse wheel
- Feels great

Cons: Not really any cons if I were to nitpick the only bad thing I could say is that clicking the middle mouse button down is a bit stiff

Other Thoughts: This is a awesome mouse, I use it for gaming and it works perfectly and has good response. It feels great and looks awesome.

Avoid this lousy mouse (instead of M505)

Reviewed By: on 1/22/2010

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: wire, lightweight, quickly recognized by Windows Seven

Cons: ridiculously unresponsive. Remember how the cursor on an old roller ball mouse would get "stuck" when it got dirty, so that you'd have to pick up the mouse and reposition it to get the cursor to the right spot- well this is worse because you can't fix it. It frequently misses left clicks, so you have to recheck and re-click, very aggravating. Plus the scrolling is slow and hyper-erratic, not fast or smooth

Other Thoughts: I wrote a similar review for the M505 by mistake, sorry, this was the dud I wasted 50 bucks on, yet threw in the trash to save myself and others the aggravation of ever having to use again. I plugged in my old wired G-5. Logitech missed it on this one. One thought about the software- no manual, no CD or DVD included- it all has to be downloaded, and its 50 megabytes- too bad, dial-up users. Also, one of the things I liked with Logitech was reassigning the thumb button to double-click, well that's not a option, anymore.

Pros: Nice mouse. The scroll wheel adjustment is a nice touch. Feels very comfortable holding it. And the extra 3 buttons are nice for gaming when you're out of room on your keyboard. And so far, nice battery life.

Cons: The range is definitely not very high. I've got it about 4 feet away from the receiver with no problem. But when I plug it into the back of the computer (behind the desk) it becomes barely responsive at all.

Other Thoughts: I would prefer Bluetooth over RF.
