Reluctantly Switched From Bluetooth,
August 29, 2009

By&nbsp,Cornwallis Alabaster Cuspidor, III but you c. Atlanta, GA See all my reviews

I was tolerant to purchase this mouse because I have only bought Bluetooth mice since 2002. But mouse manufacturers are clueless to our needs and so I has been forced to switch.

And man am I happy I did.

This mouse is worth it to miss the ultra tiny receiver. It’s oh so smooth and uncommonly comfy. I bought the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 about three weeks ago and my forearm and hand have been aching since. It was the 1st non ergonomic mouse, intended to be symmetrical for both right and left handed users, that I used in many years and using it was downright painful. I have the inappropriately named Apple Mighty Mouse which suffers from the same design flaw. The Performance MX, by comparison, puts little strain on my hand and arm, and the groove where my thumb sits not only feels great, it also gives greater control. I’ll never purchase a symmetrical mouse again.

The kit that comes with it’s smart and useful. The recharging cable is Micro USB so when the mouse battery dies, you just plug one end into your mouse and the other into your computer, and use it like a corded mouse while it charges. As well, it comes with a Wall to USB adapter so you may be able to charge the mouse in the wall if you do not have another USB slot available. That means I can still use the mouse while it’s charging from the computer or the wall. Handy! My last mice had charging stands and if the battery died, I could not use them again till they charged. Logitech also included a USB extension cable to help desktop users reposition the USB receiver and a useful little bag to hold the power plug and cords for us notebook users. All in all, a thoughtful kit!

I am using this with a MacBook Pro and it had 3 button functionality right out of the gate without installing drivers. The USB receiver itself is small. It is smaller than the magsafe power adapter head. Time will tell if I can carefully keep it in the notebook while I place the computer in and out of it is neoprene sleeve, but I do not anticipate this being a problem.

Do I wish this was a bluetooth mouse? Totally. But it’s more comfy than any Bluetooth mouse on the market, it moves the pointer with more fluidity, smoothness, and accuracy than any Bluetooth mouse on the market, and as much as I enjoyed not dealing with receivers over the past seven years. The total package offered by this mouse more than makes up for the fact that it is not Bluetooth.

I greatly recommend it.

This Mouse is a Delight,
August 30, 2009

By&nbsp,Jack Puglis Parsippany, NJ See all my reviews

I am used to being disappointed by merchandise after reading the marketing hype. Not so with this mouse I’m happy that I spent the money that I did to purchase it. I have used it every day for some number of hours for a week now and I like it better as time goes on.

Ergonomics: The mouse is comfy and designed. My last mouse had forward & back buttons near the thumb area, but they were so close to where my thumb was located that I could frequently hit one when 1st grasping the mouse. The thumb rest on this mouse is designed, it is easier to hold & control the mouse because the grip is so much surer.

Zoom, Forward & Back Buttons: These three buttons are located a bit above the thumb rest and are intuitive. The zoom button is just above your thumb, but far enough that I do not accidentally press it. When I do use it, the wheel increases or decreases the size of the image. Hit it again, and the zoom mode goes off, but nicely leaves the image at the size that you set it so you may be able to continue working.

The Forward and Back buttons are above the zoom button and I found them comfortably placed to access when I wanted them but not get in the way when I did not. They work well it’s typically easier to hit the back button than move the mouse to the left arrow in my browser.

Scroll Wheel: Here, the mouse pleasantly surprised me with its “hyper scroll” feature. I projected a somewhat improved scrolling capability after all, when marketing people write “hyper,” meaning super duper and extreme to the max, they typically mean that this variant works properly where their last product was buggy. OK, I am cynical. This feature is a true improvement. When you press a release button that’s conveniently located somewhat behind the scroll wheel, it frees the scroll wheel to turn, enabling you to scroll through pages fast. When you touch the wheel to stop it from spinning, the scrolling stops instantaneously. You may be able to simply push the release button again and you are back to “click” scrolling.

Slightly weird Software: The software that comes in the package on a CD enables you to change certain mouse settings to match your preferences. But, you have to go into the Control Panel / Mouse application to set things like the number of lines per wheel “click,” the “double click speed,” and the pointer image I like a big black arrow because of vision problems. I could have projected an integrated suite of software that handled all of these things, or at least advice from the maker that informed me that certain mouse settings had to be made in the control panel.

Other Stuff: Simple things improve this mouse, like low friction feet. All of my last mice were harder to move on the desk or table surface so harder to control. The only alternative that I could think of was to go into the control panel and set the “mouse speed” slower than it was when I doed any kind of good work. With this mouse, the low friction feet make it much easier to make good movements with the pointer, and overall make the mouse more nice to use.

Speaking of friction, the mouse rubberized pads on the right and left sides, making for a non slip grip, unlike my last mouse, which was obviously molded from recycled potato peels or something. The serious point is that I have not still found my fingers slipping when accessing any button.

Overall Comfort: A harder to define feature is how the mouse feels in general. I find my hand and arm less tired, and the grip feels natural to me it is shaped properly to my hand. Last mice, like the part of. Well, let us say “low priced” mouse that Dell supplied with my computer, forced my hand to comply to the mouse. The result is a feeling of “rightness” when I 1st take hold of this device.

Battery Recharge: Logitec thought through this one nicely. I have had the mouse for a week and charged when I 1st got it. It is been on all this time. BTW, the mouse really has an “on off” switch. After I pulled the mouse out of its box, I charged it while I used it by just connecting the mini USB connector to the wall charger. It was then alike to using a wired mouse while it charged. Logitec also supplies a USB cable so you may be able to charge the mouse from any of your computer’s USB ports. No putting the mouse into a cradle to recharge, which prevents you from using the computer.

Receiver Extender Cable USB: None of Logitec’s literature and no review that I have found properly states the simple reason for this cable: when you have problems with erratic pointer movements because of interference, too great a distance from the mouse to the receiver or obstructions between them, this cable enables you to move the receiver closer to the mouse. This gives you a so called “inverse square law” advantage in signal strength: as an example, at half of the distance between the mouse and the receiver, the mouse’s transmitted signal strength is four times higher at the receiver.

I paid $99 for this mouse at Best purchase in NJ. I think that this is a case where paying more gets you more. This mouse is a great product and I recommend it.
