Description:

Easily one of the most sophisticated desktop controllers ever produced, Logitech's MX700 cordless optical mouse is futuristic, functional, and ergonomically satisfying.

Designed with an eye-catching metallic silver-on-black paint job and an ultramodern rounded profile, the MX700 is both dramatic and trendy. But good looks are just part of the story. Unlike most optical mice, this unit operates without a cord. To revitalize your mouse, you'll merely pick it up and pop it into the enclosed charging station, a similarly sleek device that claims no more desktop real estate than the mouse itself and connects conveniently to any free USB, USB 2.0, or PS/2 port. Two rechargeable AA NiMH batteries are included.

In action, the MX700 is comparatively weighty yet very well-balanced. Its curvy, contoured housing conforms wonderfully to the hand and the natural positioning of all five fingers. Logitech has fitted the unit with no less than eight individual controls, each of which may be configured to execute a variety of duties. Apart from the standard dual button tasks, it can also perform continuous and line-by-line scrolls, page forward and back functions, and, in combination with its custom menu system, quick navigation between your most recently viewed documents. Furthermore, its high-powered 4.7 megapixels per second tracking speed is 50 percent more precise than many of its optical and analog rivals.

If you're still dealing with messy cords and dirty track balls, the MX700 will seem nothing short of amazing. If you're already working with a cordless optical mouse, you may want to upgrade just for the additional controls and convenient recharging station. Although its asymmetrical design won't suit lefties and its price tag may seem a bit steep, Logitech's top-of-the-line mouse will otherwise rejuvenate any desktop environment. --Gordon Goble
