Summary: So far so good
Review: WildRN from San Diego stated that their old cordless keyboard was incompatible with this new mouse. Logitech has a webpage to check for compatibility of various devices for the receiver you have. Just check the model number on your receiver. I had to make sure that I got the right model of cordless optical mouseman wheel to go with my desktop pro set. So far it works great!

Summary: I love this mouse
Review: I've purchased three of these mice so far for work and for home. The combination of the cordless and the optical technologies are just amazing. The feel of the mouse is a bit odd at first but I found that after just a couple of hours it felt very natural in my hand.

Summary: Great Mechanical Functionality With Room To Improve
Review: I have owned this for 7 weeks. I use it on a Mac G4 running OS 9.2POSITIVES: 1. Optical tracking works very well over most surfaces. Will never use a mechanical mouse again.
2. Wireless works well. Have my receiver under my desk on top of tower.
3. Weight is good. Overly light mice are difficult to use for photo editing. SUGGESTIONS: 1. Software functionality is basic. Low Battery function didn't work. Substituted a shareware driver (USB Overdrive) which provides many more options (e.g., independently programmable tracking speed and acceleration, acceleration option for the wheel, etc.). NEGATIVES: 1.With daily use on a silver grey mousepad the batteries lasted 7 weeks.
2. Latest software driver has problems. Increases time for disk to disk and application to application copy operations by a factor of three. This is significant when doing backups. Resolved the issue by using USB Overdrive, driver mentioned above.
3. Does not track well on patterned surfaces (e.g., wood grained desk top)
4. Side button is too low and fairly useless.

Summary: Bottom Line: This is an AWESOME Mouse!
Review: When I first purchased this product, I wasn't sure what to expect although once I received it, I was very surprised to learn what a great product this really is. It took seconds to install and hook up and it works like a charm. Unlike most cordless mice, this one uses radio waves to submit the movement which means you can be several feet away and it still works perfectly. This is an incredible mouse and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Nice, but not quite
Review: Wireless is very good, but for both (we ordered 2) neither one had a working side button. Too bad too, I had looked forward to being able to use the "back" function.

Summary: Sticking with ball mouse for now
Review: I have the non-optical version of this mouse that I bought 1 year ago and love it - I've been cordless for 5 years now, both mice from Logitech. The only jerkiness or problems I've ever had is when the batteries are near death, which is about twice a year. I do a lot of CAD work, and the mouse is very precise. Due to other ratings here, I think I'll hold out for the next generation optical cordless, since this one from Logitech is too small (I tried it in the store), & the MS wireless Intellimouse seems to be full of typical MS bugs.

Summary: Convenience Luxury
Review: I was a DOS (Wordperfect 4.0) hold-out for an embarassingly long time, in large part because I don't really like using a mouse. The Cordless Mouseman Optical goes a long way toward alleviating my mouse hostility, and, in retrospect, it's surprising that that it wasn't available years ago. The combination of wireless operation and padless optical technology allows me to keep the mouse in a comfortable working position all the time, anywhere in my office, no matter where my keyboard is or how messy my desk is. It seems like a small convenience, but it actually has improves the quality of my daily work life in a significant way, so I highly recommend it. Also, I'm left-handed, and I use my mouse left-handed. Although this model only comes in one (presumably right-handed) design, I find it comfortable to use left handed as well.

Summary: Comparing Logitech and Microsoft
Review: I know why your here. You don't know which to choose between Logitech and Microsoft! Well, although I have only tried the Logitech, I'll give you what I know. Firstly, the weight, I do believe however that the Microsoft is slightly heavier, and does stick to plastic mousepads or smooth surfaces, (even my logitech does a bit), due to this fact, my Logitech will sometimes drag, and cause you to click in the wrong spot, off by a few millimeters, but this friction is very, extrememly insignificant, and only picky people will pick it up, like me. Second, the Microsoft, I have heard many complaints about the battery life on it, and some people have said that it barely lasts 2 weeks, and others say 4 weeks. Now only 1 person that I have known has complained about Logitech, and they have guarenteed that to last for at least 2 months, if not 3 months, which is great! For me, that is one thing I look alot into, I hate to waste and is very conservative. Also, many people have complained about Microsoft's mouse making high pitched chirping noise, and has been comfirmed by another review to only happen a few days after the battery is in place. But think about it, you replace your batteries every 2 weeks (not all), and for a couple days you get an annoying high pitched sound, I coulnd't stand it! Anyways, both Logitech and Microsoft are designed for the right hand, and in my preference, they feel both quite nicely, but if I were forced to choose the design, I would go with the Microsoft, but I do not like where their 4th button is placed. Logitech's is closer to create less movement for those lazy people (yah!). Continuing on, people have also complained about Logitech's design of the buttons, I find them extremely comfortable, but others don't. That will be your call. Now the scroll, I would prefer Microsoft, because they have a softer scroll, and Logitech is more of a click, but either is fine. And I don't know if it is a defect, but the Logitech mouse's scroll is a bit weird, when I scroll once, it sometimes doesnt work, and I have to scroll down 2-3 times before moving 3 lines down. I don't really like that... Now Microsoft has said to be more precise, but really, it is not noticable, they both have different technologies for this, and both work amost the same. There's not much more to say, I've gone over almost all the research you need to purchase and decide. Personally, I would choose the Logitech, simply because, Microsoft has a few problems, and Logitech's problems are very minor, and like I said, only picky people really find it out. Besides the scroll, which is annoying, it works extremely well. Oh wait I forgot the range. Logitech is highly underrated! They say 6 feet, yah right! More like 20! It works from downstairs, the next room, and even under and through blankets! It has an amazing range, and could not be improved. I don't know about Microsoft however. If you are picky, you should try both, but get the Logitech one first, and if you don't like it, switch it. I really would like to try both and make a decision however, but I don't have any more money... :( So the choice is yours, but I highly recomend the Logitech. This product recieved 4.5 out of 5.
