Logitech RX1000 Laser Mouse - mouse

I paid £10 including delivery for this chap, so we are clearly not talking top-end of the market here, but I feel that in summary, this is a well worthwhile purchase which I can recommend.

Have just upgraded from a ball mouse so am finding this laser mouse very responsive by comparison. It works perfectly on a Belkin "WaveRest" Gel pad.

The mouse is slightly narrower than my old standard issue one, but I have quickly got used to it. The RX1000 is of a predominately plastic feel but has a nice weight about it to make it feel solid enough without being overly-heavy. With its silver-grey shiny streaks offset against the matt-black it actually is quite attractive!

The RX1000 is a wired type which literally is just plugged into a USB port and will work.

One nice feature is the little silver button on top which acts as a "back" button on your browser to view previous page which I have found useful.

A click of the wheel button next to a web page adds a "target" scroll icon that enables really smooth scrolling just by moving the mouse without having to roll the wheel.

My only slight gripe is that the "click" part of the mouse does not extend right across (ie it is only the black part of the mouse). Accordingly, I have found myself trying to click and my finger has drifted on to the silver edge. But I am sure that this will soon be gotten used to.

Further software can be downloaded from the Logitech website if you are that way inclined.
