Summary: Good for home use but not for gaming...
Review: I purchased this mouse in July 2003 looking for the best one available at the time in order to replace my beloved Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer. The differences between these two devices are by no means subtle. Aside from the obvious attributes associated with wireless, the internet navigation buttons are both on one side, which can take a bit getting used to if you followed into this purchase as I did. There are additional scroll buttons above and below the wheel that allow you to scroll a little or a lot at one time. The scroll wheel can be pushed in and held down to move the screen both up and down and left and right if it doesnt fit into your resolution. The application switcher is a valuable button, by far the most important of the 8. If you have a full screen application spazzing on you, you can hit the application switcher and a little on-screen menu pops up where you can choose to select another application. The click buttons are not separate from the rest of the mouse as one can see from the photo. This means that they require either more pressure if you have your fingers near the center of the mouse or much less pressure to click if you press near the front. This can cause some problems if you generally have your hand on the mouse at all times. I have accidentally clicked the buttons probably hundreds of times. However, these differences from the Intellimouse Explorer are not by any means subtle. You are buying a much different product. The wireless aspect does include its own advantages and disadvantages. You have the obvious freedom of movement, and you have a wicked fast NiMH battery recharger in the base station. I use it to charge my digital camera's batteries sometimes because it beats waiting 13 hours. The wireless connection is not as spot on as the wired, and this is unfortunately common amongst wireless peripherals. Let me put it this way - I use to own at Unreal Tournament 2003 in college with the Intellimouse Explorer. Noone could beat me when I got going. But when I picked this mouse up, its slight lag meant more of me dead. It will be a noticeable thing in games, for sure. If the base station moves as you play, like if you are laying in bed and playing games on a laptop, you can lose connection as well. Overall I would recommend this as a general purpose mouse with excellent extras, but not to anyone looking for a wireless gaming experience.

Summary: It killed my laptop
Review: I have one major warning - DO NOT instal the software on the cd - in fact do not even put the cd in your computer. The mouse itself is pretty ok. Its smooth and comofortable in your hand with some nifty extra buttons. BUT, when i installed the enclosed software it killed the software on my laptop. It broke my virus sheild and replaced my on board mouse setting with its own - permanently!. Had to re-instal a lot of stuff before my on board mouse settings came back. That was just the begining. I am still dealing with the aftermath of this mouse a month later. DO not beleive the box - most of the extra buttons will work without the cd - especially if you are running XP.

Summary: An excellent mouse
Review: While the previous reviewer is larger than me (I am only 6'4"), I find the mouse fits my hand fine. It has done everything I have wanted it to do and done it better than any mouse I've owned. I am only in here because I want to order a couple more as Christmas presents! (I received mine as a gift last Christmas)

Summary: Great when the charger works.
Review: I have tried two of these mice. They work great, and I like having the extra buttons. However, I found that after a few months the mouse would refuse to charge any more. This would occur gradually. At first I'd have to wiggle it a bit in the charger to get it to charge, and it slowly got more and more difficult to charge. Thinking I might have just got a bad mouse, I returned the mouse, got another one and experienced the exact same thing.This morning I went to use my computer after a two week vacation, with the mouse being on the charger the entire time and found the mouse to be completely discharged. Needless to say, I bought this mouse because I wanted a cordless optical mouse that didn't eat batteries or require rechargables that always seemed to be discharged right in the middle of a game. Unfortunately, I now seem to have a mouse with a useless charger making it necessary to charge the batteries seperately in a standard NiMH battery charger. I'm giving up on cordless mice, and will be buying a corded optical today. Pros:
1. Mouse tracks nicely.
2. Lots of buttons that you can assign to different things.
3. Cordless!
4. Has it's own recharging base station. Cons:
1. Mouse won't charge anymore after a few months. I do not believe this is a fluke because it happened twice with different mice.

Summary: Great for games
Review: Forget what that other guy said, this mouse is great for gaming. Just remember to charge it up when you take a break, and it's good to go. If you can't remember to charge it, as it seems a certain other reviewer can't, then yes, this isn't the mouse for you. Best wireless mouse available.

Summary: Attn.: Gamers. This is not the mouse to use.
Review: First of all I would like to give Logitech credit. The Logitech MX700 is a well made wireless mouse with very good tracking (for a wireless). For everyday use its awesome. But for the serious gamer it's a big mistake.
Its size and ergonomics are all wrong. It is hard to move around quickly because of its weight and bulk. With that in mind your hand and wrist will get twisted and tired. An even bigger problem are the buttons. Unless you ride the mouse with your hand on very top (out of the normal position) you cant use the extra buttons. The buttons themselves are so small and useless during game play. Both are on the left side. They should have one on the left and one on the right.
The scroll is funky slow and uneven. They do have two nice little fast scroll buttons but they don't work in games.
Worst of all the battery ran out of power in the middle of a game!!!
Too bad.This is the first product that I will be returning to Amazon. This mouse all and all is useless for the PC game enthusiast. Sorry for the bad news.

Summary: Excellent control and features
Review: Describing this mouse requires three words, but they're all good ones: OPTICAL ... no more scraping grit and crud from the innards of your ball mouse.
CORDLESS ... finally you can use your mouse further than three or four feet from your machine.
RECHARGEABLE ... none of the waste, expense, and hassle that come with a battery-driven cordless mouse Additionally, the control is excellent and the programmable buttons are nice if you're a power user or compulsive system tweaker. As others have said, the MX700 is ideal for casual use, graphics/image manipulation, programming IDEs, and games of all sorts (and I've used it in all of these applications without complaint). It's not the lightest mouse in the world, but I don't mind that ... it never bothers me even after several hours of work or play. Highly recommended.

Summary: happy as a clam
Review: Why didn't I get this thing sooner? Works from 7 ft. away and scrolls nicely. There are some other buttons, two for scrolling Internet pages (forward and backward) and one that launches an application helper. Cool. Coffee drinkers with sweaty hands and sticky mice balls are the real benefactors here, though anybody who likes to browse with a mouse on their lap would like it too.

Summary: Best Mouse on planet Earth
Review: This is without a doubt the best mouse on the market. I've had it for 11 months now and have never had to replace the batteries. The mouse is also just as fast as a cordless and tracks flawlessly. I use the mouse without the Logitech Software - every button works except the very top one, which I find very difficult to reach anyway. I could never go back to a corded mouse (eww- a cable?) or my old MSFT cordless (lag CITY!). Thanks Logitech for such an awesome product!
