Logitech MX 400 Performance Laser Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Assuming you're right-handed, MX400 is a very comfortable mouse - but you have to give it one to two days to really fit in with your hand and to find your optimum holding pattern. The overall build quality, scrolling, glide, placement of back/forward buttons, cable, clicking, amazing tracking...everything's absolutely great about this mouse, including the 5-year warranty. Over several months of constant use, the scroll wheel misbehaved only once, and just a puff of compressed air corrected the problem.
As the laser optics used in this mouse is invisible to human eye, it makes a nice touch to your desktop or laptop setup,like a natural extension of the setup.
The optical engine is 1100 dpi, it is laser (a lot less picky about the tracking surface), has tilt wheel, and the buttons require just the right amount of clicking to activate and they have nice tactile feedback. Like all Logitech mice, it suffers from the SetPoint drivers' bloat, but if you're willing to let go of the tilt wheel, you don't need to install anything at all, just plug in the mouse and in Windows XP, all those back/forward buttons are automatically recognized. If you're short on USB ports, there's a PS/2 adapter so you can use your computer's mouse port (that green port that has been sitting empty until now).
One interesting information about this mouse: its wireless big brother, MX610, has a symmetrical version for southpaws. Beware though, MX610 series suffers from hit-or-miss tracking problems. For that reason, you might be able to find ridiculous deals at your local Staples/BestBuy/Fry's for a MX610, but the southpaw version is very hard to find in a brick&mortar store.
My friends call me a mouse freak...and I've tried nearly 75% of the MS and Logitech offerings. I can tell you that this MX400 is my day-to-day mouse, and it seems it will stay that way for a long time. Hope you'll like it as much as I do.

Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using the Logitech Nano mouse with tiny USB dongle for some time and love the friction-free scroll wheel. The only problem is that my notebook only has two USB ports and sometimes I need both for something other than the mouse (and some devices don't seem to function correctly through a USB hub). So I've wanted a Bluetooth version of the Nano for quite some time. The M555b combines the two features I "needed" into one unit and I've been pretty happy with it so far.
The M555b has one programmable button just behind the scroll wheel, similar to the Nano, but not the other two extra buttons. Not a problem for me since I tend not to use the additional buttons, but it should be pointed out for those who do. The M555b wheel still has side-to-side scroll functionality. I wish they had kept the shape and design of the Nano in this new mouse since I prefer that style and feel. The M555b looks and feels somewhat "cheap" by comparison. That's just a matter of preference however... your results may vary. Also, the M555b doesn't come with a protective mouse sleeve for transport, like my Nano did. For the price of this mouse, you'd think they could throw that in.
Another thing I don't care for on the M555b is the battery cover. To access, you hold the mouse upside down, press a button at the back of the mouse, and lift the bottom off the mouse. It just seems more awkward than having a little trap door cover on the bottom, but that's also a preference issue... doesn't really get in the way of usability.
At one point, just a few days into using the mouse, it stopped communicating with my computer and I figured the (included) alkaline starter batteries had lost charge. I tried several other sets of regular and rechargeable batteries. Also tried redoing the Bluetooth connection, etc., with no luck. I decided to return it as defective, but when I tried again the next day it started working and has been fine ever since. Don't know what the problem was, but the hiccup seems to have gone away.
As with other Bluetooth mice, this one has a touch of lag on occasion, especially if it's been sitting for a few minutes without moving. Overall, it doesn't seem as bad as other Bluetooth mice I've used, but I wouldn't recommend this for gamers or people who demand ultra precision and responsiveness. With general use, it probably won't be an issue.
If you need several programmable buttons, look elsewhere. Check a local store to see if you like the style and feel of this before buying since it's rather plain-looking. Overall, I give the M555b good ratings because it gives back a USB port while keeping the free-wheeling scroll, which I'd be hard pressed to do without now (great feature!).

Dell RP962 / PY777 Optical 5-Button USB Mouse w/ Scroll Wheel (MOA8BO) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Finally, a mouse that does what I want. This mouse has the usual right and left click buttons with a mouse wheel. This wheel not only rolls, it tilts right and left to act like two more buttons and can be pressed down to act like a third button. Then there are the two additional side buttons (e.g. forward and backward). It is called a five button mouse, but it is more like a seven button mouse. I have been unable to find another mouse that does all that this one does, and is reliable and easy to use. The only down side is it is an optical mouse, not a laser mouse, so it is not as precise in its movements as a laser mouse. But with a bit of care and patience, I can still make my one pixel tweaks on artwork.
Caution: this mouse will not perform well unless you get the Dell Mouse Suite software to drive it. The Mouse Suite software lets you configure the buttons to do what you want. I own three of these mice and use them on XP, Vista and Vista 64 bit operating systems without any problems. I found the (free) R140482.EXE Mouse Suite driver download at the Dell web site at:

Logitech Mouse M110 (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not a bad replacement mouse at all, soundly made and easy install, additional control software available on the web to change button assignments.
This is a THREE-button mouse with a fairly smooth tilt-wheel capability, good for spreadsheet people who like to jump sideways a whole screen at a time. Trouble is, some - but not all - merchants have decided that you can call that a 5-button mouse. It isn't. If you're in browsers a lot and depend on having buttons 4 and 5 for "Back" and "Forward" functions, they're not there.
I gave it to my mother-in-law and got another make. It worked out.

Logitech Corded Mouse (M500) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If a corded mouse is what you want, this is probably the best you'll get.
Like many Logitech mice, the M500 is ergnomically shaped for comfort and reduced strain/tension. Logitech mice are the most comfortable I have used. You can mouse around for hours with much less strain than when using mice from other manufacturers.
Like Logitech's more recent models, the M500 has a scroll wheel that you can switch between regular scrolling and "hyper scrolling," where you give the wheel a little flick and it scrolls very quickly through huge amounts of data. Once you try this feature, you won't go back to a mouse that doesn't have it.
You can also push the scroll wheel to the left or right for horizontal scrolling.
The M500 also has forward and back buttons within easy reach of the thumb, useful for quickly jumping through website or powerpoint slides.
It is a laser mouse, which is much more precise than the older optical mice. It tracks well on most surfaces I've tried, though of course not on glass (Logitech makes more expensive mice that track well on glass).
There are only two things I'd caution you about before purchasing. First, this mouse is really designed to be used by the right hand only. It's possible to use it with the left hand, but it's not as comfortable, and using the forward/back buttons isn't nearly as practical or easy with the left hand as with the right.
Second, this is a corded mouse. You might prefer cordless. For me, corded mice have advantages: no battery to wear out, no charging cradles, no usb receiver to lose, and I've found that corded mice track better than many cordless mice (though the very newest cordless mice, like Logitech's "Anywhere MX" and "Performance MX" track very, very well).
In summary, if you want a right-handed corded mouse, please give this a try. I've tried many, and this is the only one I'd rate as excellent. It's very very comfortable, it tracks very well, and the hyper-scrolling and other features are very well-thought out and implemented. And it's much cheaper than cordless mice offering the same feature set.

Logitech Wireless Mouse M510 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been seeking a fully-featured wireless mouse for the past two weeks and have finally found my optimum choice in the Logitech Wireless Mouse M510. The attributes I sought out included the following:
1) Full-size and ergonomic shape. I have fairly large hands, so most notebook mice cannot provide a sufficiently comfortable experience for long periods of usage time.
2) High battery endurance. I prefer a wireless mouse that minimizes battery replacement to improve overall convenience and reduce my dead battery collection.

3) Laser technology. A setting of at least 1200 dpi is necessary to track subtle movements, which are particularly important for graphical applications (i.e. solid modeling and photo editing software). Laser technology also allows for usage on most surfaces.
4) Inconspicuous wireless transmitter. I find great appeal in a low profile wireless transmitter, as it saves the user from having to remove the device from a notebook during travel.
While many other competing products from Logitech offer appealing features such as "hyper scrolling" and any-surface tracking a la "Darkfield", they each carry their own weaknesses as well. For example, I considered various notebook-class mice, including the Anywhere MX and the Marathon M705, yet as a person with fairly large hands, I determined that they were simply not large enough to use comfortably. Notebook Mice:
With respect to the Anywhere MX, while its touted "Darkfield" technology and "hyper scrolling" are admittedly persuasive, does not appear to yield the battery endurance that I desire. The form factor is certainly far too small to permit the ergonomics my hands require.
In consideration of the Marathon M705, while it certainly has the battery endurance I desire, as well as "hyper scrolling", it still remains too small, and the price tag currently does not justify its purchase. The Anywhere MX (at the time of research) could be had for nearly the same price after rebate, and if I were to choose a less-than-comfortable mouse, I would be more inclined to compromise some battery life for features.Full-Sized Mice:
Moving on to full-sized mice, I spent some time researching the Performance MX. The Performance MX touts a host of features, including a low-profile wireless transmitter, but I am not fully convinced that they justify the price. Furthermore, this device utilizes a cradle for charging, and I would prefer high endurance, which typically entails the exclusive use of AA or AAA batteries.
While researching this category, I came across the M510, which although it carries less features than the aforementioned products, represents the best compromise to the attributes I desire in a mouse. Notably, this mouse has a great form factor, and while not as large as the Performance MX, fits comfortably and ergonomically even for my larger hands. Admittedly, I would prefer that the mouse were a bit longer to fill out my palm, but in the manner I handle the mouse, comes very close to an ideal fit. Logitech claims battery endurance up to 2 years, which far exceeds my expectations, and reduces my reliance on spare batteries. The device uses laser technology, which actually does not perform optimally on my aluminum desk, but tracks perfectly on my microfiber mouse pad with high accuracy. I honestly did not expect the mouse to function well on my desk, so this is more of an observation than a concern. The device also includes the low-profile wireless transmitter, which overall adds to the convenience of the product, and lends itself to a more travel-worthy full-sized mouse. As an additional note, the forward and back buttons work perfectly, and are quite easy to access. Extra buttons that are actually usable certainly add greater value to this product.Conclusion:
While this mouse certainly has less features than some of the competition, it can be had for a reasonable price, which from Amazon lies in the range of $30 to $40. The form factor is excellent, the battery life is sufficient, the accuracy is great, and the wireless transmitter is convenient. For those seeking a full-sized and ergonomic mouse that still affords some portability, the Logitech M510 is a great option, and should represent a serious candidate for any mouse-purchasing decisions.

Logitech Wireless Mouse M505 (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my home theater PC in my living room to go with the keyboard that uses the same Unity receiver. I stuck the receiver into one free frontside USB port on the box and can run both the keyboard and mouse off the same nearly invisible dongle. Both the mouse and the keyboard work from 30 feet away as tested. It even worked from another room. After trying two Microsoft mice which wouldn't work from more than four feet from the dongle, having a mouse which works on anything from carpet to a velvet couch up to 30 feet away with zero lag or glitches, was gratifying. I did have to download a free utility to get the PC to pair the same keyboard dongle with the mouse, but it was stupidly easy to do. I'm probably going to buy several more of these, one to keep in my netbook, the other for my PS3. Rock on Logitech for making a mouse and keyboard which are superb for home theater PC use.
