Ouch. I got my MX1000 a couple of months ago for around US$55. Once
again you Brits are getting shafted on tech product prices.

The MX1000 is a good mouse, accurate, sensitive, and, best of all,
rechargeable with a handy charge indicator. No batteries to deal with
which is the feature I was looking for. It is not, however, worth
80GBP (~US$145.00).

The only negative I see is the size of the mouse. It's big, wider and
taller, and takes some getting used to after switching from a smaller
mouse.

Hands up - my apologies - I'm talking crap. Read your post and thought -
'did I write £80-odd'? Overclockers UK are doing it for £47. £6 more than
the MX700. I'll now go stand in a corner with my dunce hat on.....

Very few places here in Aus have it for less than $87.10USD (+
shipping). We also get shafted on warranty on a range of products: we
only get Australian warranty if we buy from the Australian
subsidiary/distributor of the products. This allows Canon and Creative,
to name just two companies, to price gouge Australian consumers. Don't
even get me started on the crap 'region 4' DVDs available here that
generally don't compare at all with 'region 1' DVDs in terms of price
AND quality+features...assuming the movies/tv shows are even released in
'region 4'!!!
ARGH~!!~#!@%$#@%&

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

What do you expect if you lift your mouse like that. I've used a mx700
optical cordless for ages with no issues whatsoever : fast & reliable.

You seem to be confused netween wireless and optical. A cord would make
zero difference if it was an optical wired wired mouse.

If that's what you are talking about, yes, that's crap.


no! :-)
i mean drivers... a resource dog, with sporadic errors (latest version gave
me errors in BF2 when clikicking the wheel)

without its own drivers it just works sooo good:-)

I've heard this complaint a number of times from users of the MX1000. You
should be able to lift an optical mouse off the surface off your mouse pad
without experiencing any difficulties, but a lot of users are not
experiencing as such with the MX1000. I've used a few optical mice in my
time (Logitech MouseMan Dual Optical & MX510, Microsoft Intellimouse
Explorer 4.0 & Wheel Mouse Optical) and am able to lift all of those mice
off the mouse pad momentarily without any difficulties or issues.

I own a MX1000. Before this mouse, I had the MX700. I am very pleased with
the MX1000. In my opinion, it's by far the best mouse on the market - bar
none. I've read a lot about 'crap software' and 'skipping' and 'gaming
sucks on the MX1000' but I just don't get it. I've never had even the
slightest problem. This mouse is GREAT! As far as the sensitivity issue
goes, I was VERY surprised by the MX1000. To me, the MX700 was the ideal
mouse. I only considered one other mouse while I owned the MX700, and that
was the MX900 because of it's blue-toothe capability. The difference (in
sensitivity) between the MX700 and the MX1000 is phenominal. In fact, with
the MX700 I used a mouse pad simply because it was a little easier to move
the mouse around. I had to ditch the mouse pad, however, because the MX1000
is so sensitive it was a little jumpy because of the physical texture of the
pad itself (cloth pads - eh).

That's my 2-cents.

What is your experience with the Logitech MX 1000 laser mouse?

I am mainly concerned about precision and physical ease of use. Is
it noticeably better than other mice you have owned? How much
better? Is picking up the mouse a problem? Do you have to pick up
the mouse less than with other mice?

And, of course, how is your MX1000 for gaining?

Thank you.

I am assuming you updated the drivers. In this thread, I am
inquiring about performance, not minor technical issues. System
issues come and go, and are very dependent on the user and his (or
her) computer.

My MX1000 has no difficulties or issue when I left it up.
Best mouse I ever owned. It works perfect on any surface I've tried it
on. I'm using it on top of my head to send this. I have to admit it
did have a rough time when I run it over my ear though.

Where? I did a significant amount of research and did not find those
comments.

Maybe you just do not like cordless devices?

Do you still do a significant amount of research?

Don't be so hesitant.
