Logitech Performance Mouse MX - Retail

Greatest mouse... ever...

Reviewed By: DefStatic on 12/1/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: Just about everything. The feel of the mouse, the feel of the buttons, the ability to change the scroll wheel from clicked to glide (amazing), the shape of the mouse is the most perfect for my hand and style of mouse hold.

I don't think I will ever need another mouse. I cannot see how anyone would rate this any less than 5 stars unless they have no hands.

Cons: The button to change the scroll wheel from click to glide sits a little higher than I would prefer.

Other Thoughts: Finally gave up on my MX518. That too was one of the greatest mice I ever owned. Used it for at least 4 years.It was just very worn out, and I decided since I got a new sexy keyboard (Logitech Illuminated) it was time for a new mouse. Decided I would lose my fears about wireless.

Pros: Nice mouse. Fits a large hand well. Rechargeable!

Cons: Large! People with smaller hands need to stay away from this one.

Other Thoughts: I'm not sure I like the charging mechanism on the mouse. I'm replacing a Logitech MX Laser mouse that had a cool base that acted as both charger and receiver.... you need 2 cords to acheive the same thing with this mouse.

Pros: A very solid mouse all around. All of its buttons are programmable and they feel natural to press.

The scroll wheel is fantastic, you can toggle between normal scroll, and hyperscroll, where you can simply fling the wheel up or down and it will spin for a while. Very useful for scrolling through very long pdf files and such.

The shape fits in my hand well, and its very lightweight.

I have yet to find a surface that the darkfield laser does not work well on. Things I have tried: glass, wood, paper, mousepad, clear plastic, rough surfaces, clothing, my dog, the top of my head... It just works on any surface.

The battery so far has lasted several days at a time without turning the mouse off at night when I'm not using it. And the ability to recharge while using it is great!

Cons: Not for people who want to use mouse in left hand, it is specifically shaped for the right hand. I'm not a lefty so its no problem for me, but just putting it out there.

The zoom and window switch buttons are the only sort of awkward ones to get used to, but after a few days its no big deal. Once you install the software for the mouse, those buttons have an interesting functionality and could prove useful.

Other Thoughts: Best mouse I've ever used, a bit on the pricey side though, but its solid design should last a long time.
