Rating: Summary: A horrible mouse Review: This is the worst mouse I have ever used in my life. It always jumps all over the screen and is very inaccurate. I do not advise buying this mouse at all. I am going to sell mine, and I just purchased it.
Rating: Summary: Best fix for my shoulder problem Review: This versatile mouse was just what the doctor ordered! I can place it anywhere on my desk and use it with ease. Perfect solution to a shoulder problem - I just switched usage to my left hand and had no encumbrance by cord switch, etc. Battery charge life, when out of the docking station, is fantastic.
Rating: Summary: MikeNM Review: I have used many versions of wireless mice from Logitech. I have always liked these products, and would never use a wired mouse again. The MX700 is the best yet in terms of the 'feel' of the mouse - it is heavy enough to have substance, but it moves easily. The charger is a great feature, and I like that the red LCD light goes off in the cradle. The only negatives is that the base unit makes it clumsy for travel, I bring my old Logitech wireless mouse on the road. Also, the mouse works best on a white or light surface. Great product.
Rating: Summary: THE best mouse aROUNd Review: This is an unbelievable mouse, it is free of flaws. i noticed a little lag time when i first bought it but as soon as i installed the new drives 9.75 from logitech's site this problem is forgotten. The only problem i have is that the scroll wheel is too slick and it would ve been better if it would be wider. Dont miss it
Rating: Summary: whoa Review: PC gamer WAS right..this is probably the best mouse for all your gamers out there. Even if you aren't a gamer, you can enjoy the precision and easy handling of this mouse. the best part is that there no fuss with cords and equally no fuss with buying batteries for it charges itself on the docking station. IMPRESSIVE!
Rating: Summary: Overall a Great Mouse Review: First of all, I have many mice to chose from when I am working, some wireless and some not. When I feel like attemptimg anything, I go directly for the MX700. I think it has better battery and less lagg than my Wireless Optical From Logitech (NONE). It doesn't have a wire (Thats an Upper). I can't find anything wrong with it except for range, which is unatainable in any mouse (presentation mice excluded). If I were to recommend a mouse without a budget, I would recommend the MX700 If I were to recommend a mouse just to have an amazing mouse and you dont mind a wire, get the MX500 If you want optical and wireless but don't want to spring for the MX700, get the Wireless Optical. Do not, I repeat DO NOT, get a Microsoft mouse that is wireless. They have major design flaws. If you want a low budget but powerful and great quality mouse, get the MX 300. It has the feel of a normal mouse, the power of optical, and the accuracy of the MX Optical Engine. Trust me, I own these mice: Inland Optical Notebook Mouse, Logitech Optical Wireless, Logitech MX300, MX500, MX700, The Logitech Mouseman Traveler, Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer, Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer, Razor Boomslang 2000, and a Logitech Dual Optical Wireless Mouse
Rating: Summary: A great mouse Review: When I first started using the mouse, and saw that the base needed to be plugged into the wall, I almost returned it. Afterall, the whole point of a wireless mouse is to get away from wires. If I can't let the base get power from my powerbook, then it's pointless (oooh, a pun). But the base only needs to be plugged in to charge the batteries in the mouse. It can still receive signals and all that good stuff while not plugged into the wall. That I can handle. In fact, I think that is an excellent solution to a problem. I think everyone else commenting will attest to the excellent tracking, good ergonomics (for my hand) and pretty good button placement. Much as I hate to say it, the software is inferior to Micro$oft's for OS9, but not by much - with the extra buttons I've just changed my mouse habits, and am totally fine.
Rating: Summary: Cordless Mouse Perfection Review: I just picked up a new mouse recently, the Logitech MX700. I got it to replace my Microsoft Wireless Explorer which would eat my rechargeable NiMH batteries within two days because I used it so much. As much as I love wireless mice, their big downfall is batteries. If you're like me and you use the mouse many many hours daily, you'll kill the batteries in no time flat. Before my MS Wireless Explorer I used a regular Microsoft Explorer. I loved it, but the cord broke from bending too much. I knew I didn't want to go back to a corded mouse again because the same problem would most likely occur in time. The MX700's combo receiver / charging station is the perfect solution. It's a gift from above, and long over due. Simply sit the mouse in the dock when not in use, and the batteries automatically recharge. They can fully recharge in less than two hours, often in minutes if you dock the mouse whenever you walk away from the computer. Finally, no more swapping NiMH batteries every few days, in the middle of a UT2k3 match no less! If you get in the habit of docking, you'll never think about battery power again. There's also a little light on top of the mouse that blinks green when charging, goes off when fully charged, and flashed red when batteries are low. You couldn't ask for more. This also addresses my other big concern with wireless mice, the optical sensor. Now, I know the LED light probably lasts ages and is in no real danger of going out, but it bugs me, especially when it's consuming battery power for no reason. When you dock the mouse, the LED shuts off. Docking the mouse keeps it safe as well, no worries about knocking it off the desk or such. It becomes second nature. I'll admit it feels weird to be using a non-MS mouse, but it looks like a beauty and performs like a beast. The response time is dead on. Even in the heat of UT2k3, it's perfect. The buttons feel nice and click easily, but not so easily you'll accidentally press them. The mouse wheel feels right as well, not too tense or lose. The back and forward side keys are very well placed, the cruise up and down keys are actually quite useful, and so is the quick switch button. The concept of the cruise buttons is a nice idea. Just push and hold the button and the document auto scrolls. The quick switch brings up a menu under the mouse cursor to switch between windows. It can be helpful, because the menu has full titles and icons. This helps to navigate a crowded desktop quickly, and if you don't use it you can always remap it to something else. I say, the more well placed buttons the better. Counting left, right, back, forward, cruise up, cruise down, quick switch, and the mouse wheel click, this mouse features a incredible 8 buttons. All well placed and still out of the way. If any of you have been eyeing this thing wondering, it is indeed well worth it. Though if you're a big MS fan only, look for MS to obviously follow up on the receiver / charger idea. I'm ready for something different personally, and Logitech has certainly brought it. - Rirath_com
Rating: Summary: Horrible for Gaming Review: I thought the desing of the MX700 would be ideal since I already have a cordless keyboard and mouse from Logitech. However, once I started playing video games, the delay was ridiculous. I would press the left mouse button and would either get no reaction or it would stick. When playing a game that requires quick reaction time, it was plain unacceptable. This would be great for regular use and internet surfing, but there are much better options for gaming.
Rating: Summary: Slickest Mouse ever born Review: This is not my first optical mouse so I have hands on comparisions. I've had my MX700 for a week now. Everything is easier. Gaming, surfing etc. The smoothness is uncompareable. I've used it 4 hrs. at a time and never had the red light come on.(Want 6-8 hrs.? upgrade from the factory batteries.) And RECHARGRABLE, those other puppies use up a lot of batteries. Buy this. You will be proud to own it.
