Summary: A great mouse for Bluetooth
Review: I love this mouse. I use it with my laptop everyday. My Dell laptop has an internal bluetooth receiver thus making this small and easy to use. I have to charge the mouse on the hub once a week, however I really don't mind too much (I keep two extra dbl-A batteries in my laptop case). I do have to make sure to remove the batteries when I'm on the go (or the batteries will drain from detecting movement). This mouse is not suitable for left-handed people. I like the weight it has (not lightweight, but not too heavy). Its range is great (thats bluetooth for you).One mistake I made once was that I tried to install the Logitech software in my WindowsXP (If you just use the bluetooth software that comes with your laptop, it will find the mouse just fine). The software disabled my internal bluetooth device in the laptop and I had to use the hub in order for the mouse to work (not acceptable - otherwise I would have purchased the mx700). It took me a while to figure out that it wasn't just the Logitech software I needed to uninstall, rather I needed to remove the bluetooth hub software as well (very misleading by Logitech). I only rated this 4/5 stars due to the short battery life. Still, don't let that deter you if you don't mind working around that (I don't mind - I was well aware of it from reading posts on here).

Summary: No MAC support
Review: I ordered the mouse at amazon and it was delivered promptly.
The mouse feels great in your hand and the quality is good. The only problem is, that Logitech does not support this mouse under MAC OSX (Logitech does support their USB-mice under MAC OSX).
Because of the advanced technology from Apple, you will still be able to use this mouse. But other than the two buttons and the scrollwheel you will not be able to use.
I don't understand why Logitech is not able to support MAC for some of their devices.

Summary: Works well with Dell Integrated Bluetooth
Review: I ordered this mouse from Amazon.com after thinking about it FOREVER. Do I want it? Man that's an expensive mouse.... well if I hate it I'll just send it back. I finally ordered it and I am very happy with it.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 with integrated bluetooth. I put the batteries in the mouse (nevermind the cradle. Didn't even open it at first). Then I told Dell's bluetooth application to search for new devices. It said "found human interface device" and the mouse started working. Wow!
I can agree with reviewers that say it needs a power button. Hey logitech, when you make the next one iwth a power button, please send it to me, ok?
My one minor complaint is that there is a slight delay when you don't use the mouse for a few minutes. It's almost like the bluetooth forgets that it's there or doesn't connect to it all the time. I am looking for a setting that may change it (maybe it's in the bluetooth software) so it never "lets go" of the mouse.
It's a darn expensive mouse, but it's fantastic to be able to have just the computer and the mouse with no power cord, internet cable, mouse cable, etc. Just wireless your whole system and be done with it.
The battery life is also pretty outstanding. I've never had it go dead on me and I frequently forget to place it in the charger. When I travel I just leave the batteries in and by the time I get where I'm going they still work.
Great mouse. Pretty expensive, but if you don't want something hanging out of the back of your computer to give you wireless, it's the way to go.

Summary: Inferior to MX700
Review: I own both the MX700 and MX900 mice and prefer the 700. The MX900 has several deficiencies that I do not notice in the 700. First, it seems to have an automatic "powersave" mode to conserve batteries. If I have not used the mouse for about a minute, I must wiggle the mouse for a half second or second before it begins transmitting again. The 700 is much more responsive and does not have this delay. (Note that the delay is limited to mouse movements. Mouse clicks immediately reactivate the device.) Second, the 900 drains batteries rapidly. I recharge about once a week. Worse, though, is that the low battery warning activates with less than a day's worth of use left. I often need to plug in an old corded mouse when the 900 dies in order to finish my day's work. If you buy the MX900, do not throw out your old mouse. You will need it for the days that the 900 runs out of charge. In comparison, the 700 goes two or three weeks between charges. When it warns of low batteries, it has always had enough charge to let me finish a day's work and recharge the mouse overnight. Logitech includes a program that lets the user assign different actions to the mouse buttons. This program did not work correctly for me and actually seemed to disable some of the buttons. Killing the program restored the normal operation of the mouse, although I am not able to use the the task switch button. (I do not mind, as the button is in a very awkward position and I probably would not use it anyway.) I have observed one nice aspect of the 900. It has an incredible range. The 700 is limited to about six feet, but I can use the 900 from across a room. The base station uses a power cord with a small transformer brick. Make sure your power strip has a free outlet. Recommendation: This is a great wireless mouse made by Logitech, but the MX700 is even better. If your work area is spread out and you need long range, get the 900. If you have multiple bluetooth devices, get the 900. If you are just looking for a great wireless mouse, buy the 700. Not recommended for left-handed users.

Summary: Almost perfect!
Review: I use the mouse with my IBM thinkpad which has build-in bluetooth. I use the mouse without using the hub, and it works well, only that I can't use the file-switching button (all other buttons work well). Now, I can use the mouse without plugging anything to my laptop, and used the hub just for charging the battery! The only thing I don't like is that the mouse looks extremely big for my slim laptop. Other than that, it is perfect!

Summary: Great Performing Mouse! But practical?
Review: I use this mouse with my Powerbook with built in bluetooth. Pros:
- Control- I have used this mouse for first person shooter video games, which requires that a mouse be very accurate and fast, this mouse is both. Supposedly there is a theoretical bottleneck in the refresh rate with bluetooth mice vs. USB mice and Logitech's own RF mouse (mx700), but I did not notice it in my use, so its doubtful that in ordinary, everyday use that anyone can tell the difference between this mouse and other quality corded mice.
- Ease of use- The mouse took less than 10 seconds for bluetooth to recognize the mouse and configure it. The mouse is literally plug and play, without the plug. Of course I am using my built in bluetooth, the mouse also comes with a hub that will require some installation of software that comes with package if you don't have built in bluetooth.
- Comfort- like the other reviews say, this is definitely a right handed mouse and its probably the most comfortable mouse I have owned. Beware if you are left handed though. The mouse is also heavy due to the batteries, but less than an hour later my hand adapted and I use this mouse as naturally as any other mouse. Cons:
- Battery Life- really battery life is not an issue if you remember to always put your mouse in the cradle when you are not using it. It does become an issue, however, if you plan on using the mouse for extended time periods without charging or if you forget to charge your mouse. Nothing is worse than rushing to finish a document and suddenly have your mouse run out of batteries. Does it defeat the purpose of a cordless mouse if you have to keep a normal mouse close by as a backup? But as I said, if you use this mouse for a few hours at a time and always remember to place back in the hub, you'll be all right.
- Bluetooth hub- For me personally, I wish they would sell this mouse without the Bluetooth hub, because I don't need it. But maybe you don't need it either. What is the use of buying a "cordless mouse" when you need a hub that is connected to a cord anyways? If you are buying this mouse as a way to save room on your desk, keep in mind that you will need to connect the hub to your computer if you don't have bulit in bluetooth. This not only adds a cable going from your computer to the hub, but also adds a cable going to the electric outlet so you can use the hub to charge the mouse. So by buying a 'cordless" mouse, you've actually added an extra cord and a hub that takes up space. The hub is nice, however, if you already have some other bluetooth enable devices such as a phone or PDA that you have not been able to take advantage of because you don't have Bluetooth on your computer.
- Laptop practicality- see above if you don't have bluetooth built in. Its even worse for a laptop to lug around a hub. But if you do have laptop with built in bluetooth and you want to use this mouse for portability purposes there are also some things you must be aware of. First off the mouse does lessen your battery life a bit by way of the bluetooth connection. Secondly there is no OFF button on the mouse (it instead turns off by sensing inactivity), so to be able to travel with it, you must take the batteries out and then put them back in when you take it out of your bag.
- Price- This is by far the most money I've ever spent on a mouse. If you MUST have a cordless mouse and you don't care about bluetooth for your other peripherals, then consider the MX700 for almost half the price. The MX700 also comes with a hub, but it isn't bluetooth (and therefore has less range and much less connectivity options that bluetooth offers). If you can live with the decreased battery life and taking the batteries in and out, this mouse does become worth the price for a travel mouse. It is also great for Powerpoint presentations, hook up the laptop to a projector and you can sit anywhere in the room and still use your mouse to point and control the presentation, unless the room is huge like an auditorium and you are on the other side. Conclusion- This mouse leaves nothing to be desired as far as performance and comfort go. Ease of installation is another plus to this great product. However, before you purchase this product, ask yourself is this mouse practical for you? Do you really need a bluetooth hub? Is it really worth the price to you for the bluetooth wireless mouse vs the rf wireless mouse or even a corded mouse? If your answer is yes to these questions, then I highly recommend the MX900 mouse to you.

Summary: A Great Mouse!
Review: I've been using Logitech mice since the very beginning in the 1980s. Bought Logitech's first wireless (ball) mouse back a few years ago -- perfect mouse, great shape and heft, then a Logitech optical wireless mouse to replace it. Having worn that one out, it was time again to seek out a replacement.
While I simply could have gotten another optical wireless mouse, I wanted to get one that used Bluetooth, since this would cut down on the number of different wireless systems in my house. Also, Logitech's new "laser" wireless mouse has a larger shape that didn't fit my hand well. Kensington doesn't make a Bluetooth mouse, so that left me with just Logitech and Microsoft to decide from. Not being too thrilled with sending Microsoft more of my money (and "quality Microsoft product" being something of an oxymoron) that led me to purchase Logitech's Bluetooth mouse.
Installation was simple enough, though I wish the USB cable from the mouse stand was longer. It's plugged into the USB 2.0 hub on my desk, so apparrently you don't need to be plugged into one of the top level ports on the PC. The USB plug also incorporates a socket for the power supply (wall wart) that the unit requires. The mouse drops into the stand for charging; first complete charging took about two hours.
Software installation went off without a hitch, including the installation of the Bluetooth stack (Widcom), which so far works well with my Socket PDA card and Nokia phone. The mouse has a number of buttons on the top and side, all of which are user-definable; I set mine up to allow me to manipulate the web browser more effectively.
Once the mouse has gone through 2-3 recharge cycles, the batteries last an entire day, and charge overnight. They're conventional 1800mAH NiMH AA cells, which at some point I'll swap for some of the new 2400mAH batteries.
The new mouse shape is great! Fits your hand perfectly, good grip, and tracking is excellent, which is important when you're doing technical drawing work.
All in all, another great mouse from Logitech.

Summary: Best mouse for my Powerbook G4
Review: If you have a newer Powerbook G4 with Bluetooth, this mouse is worth it. Currently the most annoying feature of ALL laptops regardless of make or model has always been a way to control pointing features. I've used a large variety of USB, PS2, WiFi wireless, and now Bluetooth connections finding that the biggest difference between them all is that Bluetooth is the best for connecting peripherals. Of all mouse designs and features the Logitech MX900 is the best of all.
First, the false reviews I've read need to be cleared up and the main issues with the mouse. One thing is tracking is the best I've ever had for an optical mouse. There is no sense of inaccuracy or latent response to the mouse after a length of time. The mouse is also not larger than other mice by comparison, but you will have to change your gaming style if you use this mice. In fact, I perform better with heavy mice like this and the Microsoft Intellimouse Wireless. You must get used to a slower mouse sensitivity and a larger mousing surface, but when you do master it you can beat out a lot of people in shooters. The two major problems that do exist are the worthless 3 buttons on the middle near the wheel. On a Mac those 3 buttons are preprogrammed and Expose's current limitations cannot take advantage of them anyway. The button for the wheel I find rather nice for scrolling documents and switching windows in a snap. You will only find that this feature makes the dock completely useless as Expose won't show you what is in the dock if it is minimized. As for price, well, I got it for 70 dollars and that was a good buy for my second mouse on 2 machines. If it's your first you can go pay an extra 20 for it and I think it should still be worth it. If price is a major concern and you don't have problems buying a cheap mouse I'd suggest getting another Logitech brand as I've had problems with Microsoft mice and their responsiveness even plugged in through USB ports.
There are a lot of good things about this mouse. I have gone through loads of wired mice due to breaking the cord and running to the store late at night to finish a project. With my Bluetooth included wireless feature, this mouse also makes Wifi seem like the worst idea to have with a laptop. I chose this mouse over another Logitech due to the rechargeable battery feature, the inclusion of a nicely sized hand mold and a few more buttons. I was surprised to find the optical tracking was way better than other mice I have used, even USB optical mice.
If I were to warn anyone using this mouse about something it would have to be about laptops and disabling the onboard pointing device. Mousing and their hardware is a very low level feature among all systems. Wireless complicates that set and may end up causing you problems if the wireless mouse doesn't truly connect right and you end up without a way to control the pointer on screen. This will mean a system restart for you. If you keep the touchpad or, even worse, "finger joystick" thing active, you will still be able to reset the system and retry the Bluetooth connection to the mouse. In other words, two "mice" are better than none.
