Summary: It works for some...
Review: I bought this mouse a while ago, and it worked great. However, after about two weeks it told me I needed to recharge it. I had been putting it on the recharger regularly, so needless to say, this irritated me. I did some experimintation, and I discovered that my recharger didn't work, so as a result I burn through batteries rather fast. Other than that it works fine for me.

Summary: Very Nice
Review: The mouse is wonderful, very comfortable in the hand, buttons easy to access and use, recharges quickly and never had a problem with range if within 6 ft of computer. I love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent product, but pricey.
Review: I am not one to usually pay more than twenty dollars for a mouse, but so far it has been worth it. I have never had the batteries run out as I put my mouse in the charger every evening as I retire. The actual tracking of the mouse is great as I can not tell the difference between this mouse and any other corded mouse that I have had in the past. I would have no hesitations in buying this mouse again, with the only exception of looking at the new bluetooth model that is out.

Summary: Best wireless mouse out there - and the recharging is great!
Review: This is a lot of money for a mouse, no question about it. HOWEVER, if you use your mouse all day long, like I do, it is worth the cost.

OPERATION:
Seamless scrolling, easy maneuvering, very consistant flow

FEEL:
It is very comfortable for my "small" hand and the buttons are in a good place - very "reachable" for my thumb. The "thumb rest" is great!

CHARGING:
I love the recharge feature. I only have to charge my mouse every few days. It has never died out on me.

The only drawback after a few months with this mouse is that there is a slightly loud click on both the left and right clickers.

It is a lot of fun to have a mouse like this. Enjoy!

Summary: Fantastic mouse
Review: I've had my eye on cordless mice for years, but the price always sent me back to untangling my good old $24 Logitech ball mouse. A good price, good reviews, and a desire to give up cleaning my mouse ball several times each year prompted me to take the plunge and buy the MX700.

What a difference! Setup was easy and the mouse had a charge right out of the box. The battery lasts over 24 hours and recharges quickly. I notice no lag at all during intense gaming. To top it off, this is easily the most comfortable mouse I have used. Using a "normal" mouse at work each day reminds me how much I miss using my MX700.

I want to address a few points in other reviews that might keep other people from trying this fantastic mouse:

1) Like some other users, I noticed that the scrolling on this mouse was weird at first - very jerky and slow. Downloading the latest drivers from Logitech's site completely fixed this issue, however. Don't forget the drivers!

2) Some reviewers have said that this mouse doesn't fit large hands well. I happen to have very large hands, and this mouse is very comfortable for me. Unless you're Andre the Giant or Larry Holmes, this will probably fit your hand.

3) It has also been suggested that this mouse is too heavy. Again, I disagree. The weight and design feel very natural to me, and I find that it's easier to click with this mouse than with my now-retired, formerly favorite mouse.

Go down to your local Best Buy or Staples and take one for a spin. That's the best way to decide how it fits your hand.

Summary: MX700 vs Microsoft Wireless Optical (Steel Blue)
Review: It is my good fortune to use a Logitech MX700 mouse at work and a Microsoft Wireless Optical (Steel Blue) mouse at home. Like many reviewers, I initially found them both to be too large and heavy. But after making the transition, a "standard" size mouse now seems small, awkward, and toy-like. Of the two, the MX700 is noticeably heavier. However, one should consider that it is an ultra precise pointing device, so not only is the weight comfortable once one has gotten used to it, but it is also an aid in performing precision work (just as professional photographers often prefer heavier cameras over lighter units). I have been using the MX700 for over a year and the MS mouse for about two months now. I had no installation problems with either unit and have experienced no problems in their operation. I have not yet had to replaces the batteries of either. I find both to be smooth, accurate, and error free. I am not a gamer, so I cannot speak to the appropriateness of either unit for such use. One distinction between the two is that the MX700's scroll wheel gives a ratchet-like click while the MS mouse is unbelievably smooth. Such preferences are highly subjective, but I prefer the feedback of the MX700's click. My major complaint with the MS mouse is that it's "glide" on the mousepad is not very smooth, no matter what mousepad or surface is used. I have gotten used to this, but if the prices were equal, this issue would weigh heavily against the MS mouse.

There is much to like in both of these units and the purchase choice could hinge on either personal preference or on cost factors. My "price is no object" winner is the Logitech MX700, based on my perception of superior performance, near perfect ergonomics, and the fact that it is rechargeable. However, at the time of this writing it is significantly more expensive than the MS mouse (75% more at Amazon.com). In my opinion one truly cannot make a bad choice in choosing between these units. I believe that the MX700 is absolutely the best mouse on the market, but the MS mouse is good enough to warrant consideration and to win the decision if money is an overriding issue.

Summary: Overall Great Product
Review: This mouse is a good performer, and works very well for all tasks. I have owned many Logitech products and have been pleased with them all including this one.

The only negative I can cite is the weight of the mouse (due to the batteries). For most users it's a nonissue, but I prefer a lighter corded mouse to the MX700 (especially for games) when the cord doesn't get in the way too much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One smooth operator...
Review: I just got this mouse as a X-Mas present and am very satisfied. I had a cordless mouse made by Mircosoft and was disappointed that it lagged and did not have a smooth motion. The Logitech MX700 is definitely the best mouse I've ever used. It has a variety of internet functions such as easy scrolling and forward/back paging. The mouse glides along almost any mousing surface, but works especially well on a hard surface. The fluid movement, excellent quality, and multiple functions of this mouse make it almost perfect. My one complaint would be of the price, but I assure you that it is definitely worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Possibly the best mouse ever designed
Review: Its very comfortable, has a nice weight to it, and it works very smoothly. Also, Logitech's customer service is excellent. I'm very picky about what mouse I use and this one exceeds my expectations.
