Logitech MX 1000 Laser Cordless Mouse

I own the MX500 and the MX700 and...

Strengths: Nice solid feel. Ideally placed buttons and very smooth multidirectional wheel. MX 1000 communicates as rapidly as a corded mouse, and without latency.

Weakness: Heavy for a mouse, but it feels solid. So it's all good. Shape suits only right-handers.

I own the MX500 and the MX700 and now the MX1000. The MX700 was great product and the MX1000 is even better. Here's the low down. "While the gain in accuracy does result in better overall user comfort, the difference is flagrant only for certain types of use.

"While the gain in accuracy does result in better overall user comfort, the difference is flagrant only for certain types of use. If you aren't an experienced, dedicated FPS player or graphics pro, or if you don't do retouching with Photoshop, the move to an MX 1000 isn't really justified, and a good basic mouse will do. Especially considering that $80 or 80 euros is a lot of money for a mouse. On the other hand, if you'll get the full benefit of it and aren't scared off by the price, then don't hesitate."

If you compare the MX 1000with a standard mouse, the difference is like night and day.
FYI.
I don't know of any optical mouse the will work on glass top desks. I would suggest getting a trackball or a mouse pad if you work on a glass top desk. The Kensington optical tarckball comes to mind.


Hope this helps.

MX1000

Strengths: Recharging Dock Station Laser Instead Of Blinding Red Optical Light On and Off Power Switch Underneath mouse Battery Life Gauge

Weakness: No Access To Battery A/C Cord For Recharging Power

I've had this mouse for about 25 days now and its nothing but great. The size of the mouse is quite big but ergonomically it suits my hand well. I've had other wireless mice before like the Microsoft Wireless Explorer. But that did not have a on and off switch like the MX1000. The best feature has to be the recharging dock station and laser instead of optical eye. When you need to simply recharge...

Simply put, this is the best mouse...

Strengths: Precise, 8 programmable buttons, battery meter, rechargable batteries that hold a long charge via USB or AC adapter, on/off button, long range (over 10ft).

Weakness: Not as comfortable for left hand, but not horrible. Tilt wheel interferes with use of wheel button.

Simply put, this is the best mouse on the market today. I think my strengths are self-explanitory. Several other reviews knock this product for petty problems that are easily solved. The mouse can be charged by either USB or the included AC adapter. I use maxthon browser, support for the back/forward buttons in my browser and other browsers can be achieved by setting the buttons as a "generic...

Simply put, this is the best mouse on the market today. I think my strengths are self-explanitory. Several other reviews knock this product for petty problems that are easily solved. The mouse can be charged by either USB or the included AC adapter. I use maxthon browser, support for the back/forward buttons in my browser and other browsers can be achieved by setting the buttons as a "generic button" opposed to specific back/forward. I am only able to test this mouse's range to about 10 feet, but I am willing to say it could go as much as another 5 feet.

This mouse will work on surfaces that many others will not and it doesn't hesitate before moving like some cordless mice.

My only gripes, it's more comfortable for right hands - which I am - but using it in the left isn't exactly akward, I'm sure left handed users have adjusted to right-handed mouses as almost all are. Tilt-wheel is a nice feature, but I hardly use any side scrolling programs and the tilt gets in the way of a comfortable middle wheel button click, which I use often because my middle button is set for double-clicking.

One of the best mice I have used!...

Strengths: Great smooth feel. Easy to install and program!

Weakness: Can't access battery

One of the best mice I have used!

Major drawback of most wireless mice is that they give you very little warning before it needs recharging. The MX1000 features LEDs that light up and tell you the status of the charge at any time.

Charge time is only 3-4 hours which gives you 21 days before another charge is needed.

Plenty of buttons for programming (8)!

Picked it up for 60 bucks which...

Strengths: Best Wireless mouse on the market, imediate response to movement unlike other wireless mice. excelent key programablility, very good for games. Charges in less than 4 mins and lasts for 3 weeks!

Weakness: Expensive! Although its wireless it needs 2 wires.

Picked it up for 60 bucks which was a pretty good deal for this mouse. I had to play around with it for a little while before I could get it to work right. The keys are easy to program and are great if you are a gamer. Charging it takes no time at all and it lasts forever. If you are just a person who does word processing and search the web theres no point to it. But if your looking for a precise...

If you are just a person who does word processing and search the web theres no point to it. But if your looking for a precise high quality mouse look no further.
GO OUT AND BUY IT!
