Summary: A truly brilliant mouse
Review: Wow.Let me begin by saying I have never dealt with a cordless mouse, so to start I didn't know what to expect. But I was in desperate need of a replacement, and this wonderful mouse complied in more ways needed.
To start, it's simply a nice feeling mouse. Some were saying that it felt too heavy, but after an hour or so it felt just right. And after a day, once I had gotten used to the shape it felt better than my old mouse I had been using for a year. The only disadvantage, as many others have listed is that it's not for lefties. A friend of mine tried using it once and just could never grasp it right. But otherwise it works out fine
When it comes to the mouse its self, it also has some very useful features such as the software that comes with it, allowing you to tweak any of the 8 mouse buttons to your specific needs, weather its to smoothly browse the net, or set up a hotkey for a game, it provides easy use for any function.
Also the base station uses a separate wire to plug into the power, some may regard this as a disadvantage but as long as you have an extra outlet you can charge the mouse at night, or anytime when you're computers off.
So if you are looking for a new mouse this would be a good choice, yes a bit pricey but if you have some extra cash around, its a great investment for any of your needs, and a great replacement if you're used to a normal mouse (no more tangle, no more cleaning), so overall, if you need a mouse, buy this one.

Summary: Smart Choice
Review: When I first used this mouse, I noticed that it was light, considering that it was a wireless mouse. Then I noticed that there was no lag with the mouse, usually there is lag since you are using a wireless mouse. I also noticed that the mouse was perfect for gaming, I play CS, MTF, DoD, UT, UT2k3, Quake 1,2,3, Starcraft, and warcraft.(Enough Games?) and I was able to play perfectly. The extra Mouse 4 and 5 buttons are usefull, and they offer easy access. All in all, I think that the MX700 is THE best gaming mouse, or mouse at all, to ever be created.

Summary: Comfortable, reliable mouse, but it eats batteries!
Review: Logitech MX700 mouse is one of the most comfortable mouse out there. I decided to try this mouse because I have a problem with my wrist since I work on a lot computers. The mouse help my pain to go away, since the mouse fits on my right hand perfectly. So Logitech MX700 is an ergonomic mouse. The shape fits pefectly on our palm natural shape. The only thing that I hate about this mouse is, it eats batteries like crazy! Wow, the rechargeable batteries that come with the mouse will run out within 2 to 3 hours after 24 hours of charging time. So what I did, I tossed the rechargeable batteries that come with the MX700 and put regular Energizer batteries and the mouse works great! Or You can buy better rechargeable batteries. My advice is, stay away from using the rechargeable batteries from the package, it will frustrate you to... My overall comment is, Logitech makes great mice and trackballs, and this MX700 mouse is one of the best. It is reliable, as long as you can have extra money to spend for batteries, it is going to be a great mouse. Sometimes, we have to pay more money for a comfortable feeling.

Summary: The most comfortable mouse I have ever used.
Review: This is THE mouse to get. It is so comfotable and accurate in that improved my sniping in medal of honor spearhead. I simply love it. The mouse allows your hand to rest on it; you don't have to grip it like other mouse. I play a lot of games, and it is great to use it. It improves my aiming on action games and keeps me relaxed on strategy games. It is worth every penny you spent on it. I have yet run out of battery for this mouse. All you have to do is stick it in the recharger every night to keep it charged. Hope this helps.

Summary: Let's Not Nit-Pick This Outstanding Mouse
Review: I decided to review this mouse after reading all the "cons" listed by other owners. First of all, I am left handed, and it fits my hand quite well. As to being heavy, well, you slide the mouse to use it, and rarely have to lift it. It's weight makes it more stable to use; it's not some featherweight that easily goes flying around the mousepad. It's got a lot of wires some say. Well it actually is cordless, and that is its best feature. It has one cord that splits, with one end going into the USB port and the other into a wall socket that powers its recharging station. Now I did use a cordless mouse that you did not have to plug into a socket, because it used batteries. Batteries that died about once every ten days. Folks this mouse hooks up in 3 minutes flat, and adds little to the normal clutter of computer cables. It also is highly programmable with about eight little things you can push on its exterior. That's great if you are into a complex mouse, or its great, too, if you just want to use two or three major buttons. I now have three of these for all of the computers I use. It's is the best mouse that I have ever owned. Drawbacks? Well the main drawback is my forgetfulness. If you have had a long hard day of shoving this Logitech around you may have depleted a lot of its energy. Stupid me, I then forget to put it in its recharging station for the night, and find a very run down mouse when I start my computer the next day. You should make a habit of putting it into the station when it is not in use.

Summary: erratic mouse
Review: The...Logitech USB Optical Mouse with wire tracks hand movement so much better than this MX700 wireless that I retired the wireless MX700. The MX700's software doesn't allow enough slow speed selections but gives many fast motion speeds that are impractical to use. I've run the MX700 on a Mac under OS 9.1 and on Windows XP with the same poor results. Had the same problem with Microsoft wireless mouse even though tried every driver configuration possible for all mice. The by-wire Optical is the most accurate mouse I've used so I bought one for my Mac and Windows machines. When using the USB port on my Sonnetech add-on board on the MAC computer the Logitech software control is lost, but the click button and good tracking still work, Kensington software, according to Sonnettech support, does work for Kensington mouse products. I've really lost some money on mouse products. Hope my pain helps someone out there.

Summary: Wow!!! This is a useful tool
Review: With some trepidation I ventured out of my one button mouse (a Mac user always) to the much raved about multibutton cordless mouse. After doing some reviewing online I bit the bullet and bought the MX700. Granted, the name sounds at first more like something out of a Bond movie. Well, frankly after using it for nearly 2 months now, I can safely say that James needs this in addition to Q's other goodies! After receiving the package and unwrapping the contents I installed the software and within 10 minutes was off and running. Of course I hadn't charged the batteries so after about 30 minutes the mouse died when it was safely nestled into its very cool charger base. Then after a full night charge I was once again off and running the next day and since that time have only recharged overnight, never during the day. I have yet to have the batteries run down to the point of needing a recharge, event after 8-10 hours of heavy use. Having read some negatives about the battery life I was surprised to see this kind of performance, so perhaps Logitech has replaced the batteries with newer, more powerful ones. All in all my hand fits the mouse very nicely and I have no complaints about he button placement. Given that I was a one button mouse user my fingers need to learn all these new positions; that took no time however and I now feel confident in each button's location. My only complaints are as follows. First, the double click, preprogrammed function to the scroll wheel (press) is a bit harder than I'd like. Second, the power connection onto the USB end of the connector rather than onto the base itself seems rather odd and in essence adds two cables running over my desk towards the computer, rather than just one. Nevertheless, since I've only needed to charge at night, I simply keep the power unplugged. I've tried multiple surfaces: desk, mouse pad, deskpad, pants, chair and all work flawlessly with tracking super fine and responsive. The workable distance also appears to be much greater than the 8 inches recommended - I'd say 24 to 30 inches is realistic. Although the weight is certainly greater than my old mouse, I feel an added sense of confidence to my mouse movements that I didn't have earlier; but that's just me. So if you've been looking for a reason to upgrade your mouse - look no further. Unlless of course you want to wait for the MX1000 which will also brew your latté for you!

Summary: Jerky motion, unusable for Leftys
Review: I love the concept of this mouse, my current mouse (also by Logitech) eats batteries like crazy. There are two problems with this mouse - first, the motion was jerky, it seemed to be trying to do the smart thing and go to hyperlinks and buttons, even when I had the setting turned off. I might have worked more to fix this, except for the second problem - it won't work if you're left handed. If you are left handed, don't bother. The mouse seems to fit into my hand, but because of the different angle at which a left hand holds the mouse, straight up and down became a diagonal line, and straight left and right curved down. I tried to see if it was something I could get used to, and it just isn't, the difference is too large. Unlike other mice I've used, this mouse has absolutely no method of changing how it tracks up and down, left and right, so there is no way to fix it either (confirmed with Technical Support directly).

Summary: Quality desktop mouse (for a price)
Review: I've used this mouse for the past few months, and all in all I'm pleased with the purchase. The mouse initially felt heavier to use than the previous track-ball mouse I had used, but after some adjustment I found that the mouse actually moved more smoothly. Probably the best attribute of the mouse is, of course, it's rechargability. It is a very simple matter to drop the mouse in the dock at the end of the day and let it charge overnight; and in case you were wondering, the connect button on the base does not need to be pressed each time. With all that said, there are a number of problems which prevented me from giving the mouse an above average rating: 1. For a wireless mouse, there are actually a lot of wires involved in set-up: The USB plug immediately splits into two wires, one that goes to the base and one that goes to a 1" x 2" x 3" AC adapter. This was a bit bothersome since I am using the mouse with a laptop and space is a bit scare on my desk. On the same note, I wish both wires weren't immediately coming out of the USB plug. It would have been better for the power cord to be coming out of the base. (There's a PS/2 adapter that connects to the USB plug if you need one). 2. The base is supposed to be kept a certain distance away from other equipment. (I forgot how far, but I placed it about a foot or so away from the closest electronic equipment with no problems). Unfortunately it now sits near the edge of my desk and I have, on occasion, dropped the mouse into the base at the improper alignment, causing it to fall out. (Although, there is an LED light on the mouse to let you know when it's in the base and when it's charging). 3. The software that installs with the mouse overrides your previous mouse settings. This probably won't matter to desktop users, but on my laptop I am no longer able to access my touchpad settings (e.g., I originally had it so that moving along the edges of the touchpad scrolled the current window; likewise, I cannot change the speed and acceleration of the touchpad). 4. FYI, the mouse has 8 buttons which can individually be set to the following: AutoScroll, Back, Click/Select, Close Application, Context Menu/Alternate Select, Copy, Cruise Down, Cruise Up, Cut, Double-Click, DragLock, Explore My Computer, Find Computer, Find Document, Forward, Main Windows Help, Maximize, Middle Button, Minimize, Minimize All, Paste, Quick Switch, Recall Application, Resize Window, Run..., Start Menu, Unassigned, Undo, Undo Minimize All, Universal Scroll, [Backspace], [Ctrl], [Delete], [Enter], [Esc], [F1], [F2], ..., [F11], [F12], [Page Down], [Page Up], [Shift]. *(That may seem like a lot, but personally I only really use Forward, Back, and on occasion, Cruise Up/Down.) Don't get me wrong; this is a terrific mouse, but it's by no means perfect. And again, I am using this mouse on a laptop, so expect fewer hassles if you have some deskspace and a desktop. UPDATE: Logitech has newer drivers (downloadable from their website) that allows me to keep the functionality of my touchpad and the mouse. (My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 8200). However, the driver will not work if you use the PS/2 adapter.
