1 Star Bad Mouse
After I purchased the mouse for 3 months. It does not work any more.
During the 3 months period I had to change 2AA baterries every week.
I would not buy this model mouse ever again. Besides the postage is too high.
Sorry , it is a bad deal.
4 Stars Good wireless mouse
This mouse has been a joy to use, but there are a couple of things that are a little annoying. First, it has a tendency to go to sleep and requires a move of the scroll wheel or a click on the top button to wake it up. Secondly, the chargeable batteries (2300mah Powerizers) only last more a couple of days. But with that said, this mouse has no lag times and is just as accurate and responsive as a corded mouse. The top button that allows you to switch applications is extremely convenient and the back and forward buttons are not in the way or easy to accidentally click. Overall it was a great buy and well worth the money.
5 Stars Battery Charging Problem SOLVED
Just in case this might save someone a hassle. After dealing with a clueless Logitech customer service dept. I solved this myself. The mouse had been working fine. Then, when I put it in the charging cradle, it wouldn’t charge. To make a long story short: There is an interlock microswitch on this model under the battery pack, BETWEEN the two batteries. If you replace the battery pack with individual batteries (or remove the wrapping from the pack), the interlock switch will NOT be depressed, AND THE MOUSE WILL NOT CHARGE!!! Just wrap some tape around the batteries to simulate the battery pack wrapping, or wedge a small piece of cardboard under the batteries to close the microswitch… PROBLEM SOLVED. I even posted this on the Logitech forums, and they removed my post and complained to me about posting this!!! Hope this helps someone…
4 Stars A good cordless mouse – despite other reviews
I have two of these, one at home and one at work, and as a software developer, I use my computer/mouse a lot. Also, I’ve had them for about 6 months.
I’ve read several of the other reviews and found some criticisms to be fair, and others not. Here goes:
Jerky performance: It depends greatly on your mousepad/surface. I used to have a Wired psychadelic mousepad that confused the heck out of most infra-red mice. Go with a basic, non-reflective mousepad and it should be fine. I use it for very precise (to the pixel) graphics work and it does just fine. Also, don’t use your mousepad for a plate. Food, etc. will interfere and cause problems. I know, it’s obvious to you and me, but maybe not to they guy who had problems.
Battery life: One person claimed they had to take the batteries out or it would be dead by morning. Mine last 4-6 weeks under pretty heavy usage. The mouse has a low-power mode when it doesn’t detect movement for a while. If you put it in a backpack, etc., though, it will percieve constant motion and stay active, in which case you do have to pull the batteries. I have 4, 2100 mAh (capacity) NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride recharable) batteries, so when they run low, I swap them out to recharge. cost-effective, convenient, and Earth-friendly!
Built-in rechargable sounds good on paper, but a take my laptop home with me so it would not be able to recharge when I’m not using it. This + rechargable batteries is the most practical solution.
Button placement: Well, it’s true. If you are a leftie, look elsewhere ’cause this is not the mouse for you. I’m not sure about the reviewer that claimed one button nearly required breaking a finger to hit it. I guess it depends on how you grip the mouse. I use my fingertips more, but if you tend to “palm” the mouse, you might have trouble with the application switcher button. Not the end of the world, though.
Driver: I have to agree, it would really nice to be able to map buttons on a per-game basis. Again, though, not the end of the world since I don’t use the extra buttons that much anyway (starting to like the browser back/forward buttons, though).
Customer Service: I don’t know. I’ve been using Logitec stuff for years (my #1 peripherals company) and I’ve never had a decent excuse to call/email customer service. But the one reviewer is right. If a mouse/keyboard doesn’t work right and you can’t take it back where you got it, you probably are better off tossing it and getting another one. Never been a problem for me, though.
Cordless: Cordless is great. I’v had so many times when I was trying to adjust something by one or two pixels, only to have the cord bump my water cup or drag on my speakers. I’ll never go back to corded.
5 Stars Three years still going strong!
I purchased this mouse three years ago after being completely frustrated with other “mice” i had purchased. I was so glad I spent the extra money – it was worth every penny. I have a large office with two desk spaces. I can easily move my wireless mouse and wireless keyboard to suit the work space I need to use. I do construction site scheduling so I can have enormous sets of plans on my desk and easily move the mouse around – even using the blueprints for a pad.
