Summary: it's very cool, it's very smooth....and i'm very happy!
Review: I really love this mouse. It's the only optical mouse I have, and I must admit, it is VERY smooth. I love the design, I love the comfort it has when in your hand and I love the quality that is generally found in a logitech mouse. among all the keyboards nad mice I have used, I feel that logitech is the way to go.Microsoft does have some good ones, as do other companies; it may be okay to go with one of those, but if you're like me and you love logitech, this is definitely a good choice. You should pay attention that this is not a wireless mouse. I have both. Sometimes wireless gets annoying since I have to put new batteries and re-sync it. Also, it's very, very annoying when your wireless mouse accidentally falls off your desk. It hits the ground really hard, which is something that'll never happen to a mouse like this. For the time being, I personally would not buy another wireless keyboard and mouse until bluetooth technology improves and is a lot cheaper (those wireless keyboards and mice are about $150 to $200 with that technology). I currently use this blue optical mouse with a dell laptop, and I have never had a single problem with it. If you purchase it you will definitely be very comfortable with it and happy that you bought it. I recommend it highly. :)

Summary: Reliable
Review: I think this mouse is reliable. Considering its price, it totally beats old traditional mouse.
So, to say that it's suited for most users is fair

Summary: Best mouse I ever used
Review: I'm reading a lot of reviews that mention skipping or lag, and I can't imagine what's wrong, except to guess perhaps they are using the mouse on an inappropriate surface, perhaps very shiny? I've owned three of these, for my PC, for my Powerbook and for an ex's PC. I also happen to be lucky enough to have one at work and all 3 of mine plus the 4th have always performed perfectly. No need to install the software at all on a Mac, and mor than accurate enough. As a gamer and a graphic designer I've had no problems with speed or accuracy, the buttons are responsive and natural and the wheel works great. It's not "ergonomic" but I've found it more comfortable than my old MS Optical which was, and more reliable too. I'll never use a different mouse if I can avoid it, unless Logictech somehow improves on this one.

Summary: Users of Apple products will like it
Review: I've been auditioning the replacement to my hockey puck for some time. I first tried Logitech's Trackman Optical with the thumb trackball. That worked great except for a couple things. For simple Internet use it was great, but I'm a graphic artist, and I need something I can draw and trace around things with, and the marble wasn't cutting it with my naturally nervous hands. Drawing in Macromedia Freehand with it was a nightmare. So, since it didn't meet my needs 100%, I took it back and found this one. It's basic, and there's nothing wrong with basic for those of us who like simplicity. I got the blue one (it comes also in red), which goes really well with my purple computer. I have two buttons now; the right one I programmed for doubleclick. Makes me feel like a real PC person. (Ha!) Speaking of which, it comes with a green adapter for a Windows device I will never use, so I've got a spare if anyone wants one. One should be warned never to pick the mouse up and stare at its underside, because that's a laser beam. The mouse glows red every time you put your hand on it. Best feature is the scroll wheel. However, I've found that there's a bug of some kind with my Netscape 6.2.3 when you push on it. Using it for a back button calls up a new blank window...not much help, so do it the old-fashioned way. Also, I've noticed it crashes the computer on occasion, not sure why. One less star for that. The mouse will point and click without the Mouseware software, but if you install it, you can program the mouse and scroll. It's also the same software you get with the Trackman, so no need to reload for it. All in all, it's a vast improvement over the mouse I've been using for three years, and I'm not a gamer so I don't need it to have bells and whistles. Now, if I could just find a bigger keyboard with USB ports and a power button that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Summary: Tried and Trusted
Review: I've had this mouse for about two years now. I got it when my old ball mouse got too dusty to use. Since I have been using this mouse, I actually got a new mouse, which broke, and I went back to using this one. When I ordered my new computer it came with a gimmicky mouse that had all these features (it was clear, and had LED's in it). It was nice to show off with... but it broke. So I went back to my logitech. This mouse works great. I've never had a problem with it. Sure, it only had 2 buttons and the scroll wheel, but what else do you really need on a mouse? Since then I've bought a logitech joystick and keyboard, which have also worked great, while my no-brand controller broke within weeks. In conclusion, this mouse is great, and so are all logitech products. I'll never buy another non-logitech computer peripheral ;-)

Summary: Flawless
Review: Much more accurate than a regular ball mouse. Requires no cleaning since there are no moving parts to get gunked up over time. Looks cool when the red light comes on in response to activity.

Summary: A great cheap little mouse
Review: Pros:
Available in four colors (beige, black, navy, silver).
Flashy -- but not too flashy. Nice red glow emerges from the underside, without the appearance that you gave your mouse ground effects.
Smooth, rubbery scroll wheel; this feels comfortable under your finger, but doesn't slip when you roll it.
Medium click pressure on first and second buttons.
Cons:
Click pressure on middle button (scroll wheel) is a little too high.
Too little weight lends the mouse a cheap feel.
Overall, this is a great little mouse, and the price is unbeatable. I am sad to report that mine began producing double-clicks on the left button when I was only clicking once. This occurred after about a year of high (30+ hours per week) use. For what it's worth, I have always been hard on mice, and this is the 3rd mouse I've broken.

Summary: Does what it is supposed to do...
Review: Simply put this mouse does what it is supposed to do.
I bought it as my first optical mouse in Feb 2003, with a rebate I believe it was $15. It is going on two years of moderate use and it is still working fine.
The only con to it would be that it is not ergonomically designed, but for $10-20 more you can get yourself a wireless optical mouse that IS ergonomically designed. As well I don't think it bills itself as "ergonomic".
My job requires working in tradeshows and we had bought this mouse to replace our old wheel mice (about 10 of them). The Logitech Corded Optical Wheelmouse are cheap (in price) and you don't have to worry about junk gumming up the internals of the mouse.
As I have used this mouse mainly for web browsing and clicking through MS office applications it has served its purpose very well.
I would suggest this mouse as a "first mouse" for a young child learning to work on a computer. Look, the peanut butter and jelly wipes right off the optics!
