Logitech wireless Mouse M305 - a great replacement for a dud

Advantages: wireless with more freedom, responsive, comfortable.
Disadvantages: more expensive than a wired mouse.

...In November 2009 I bought a Logitech M305 wireless mouse, which cost £19.99 at Currys. General information Logitech was founded in 1981 in Switzerland and is a world leader in mice. The M305 wireless mouse is designed for use with laptops and is very comfortable in the hand. It looks the same as the picture you can see on ciao website i.e. grey colour with black feature. However if you visit Logitech?s website you can see it?s available in 7 colours. I would describe the size as standard for a laptop mouse. It has a two-button design with a single scroll wheel in-between. However the palm rest is a little taller and more arched than most mice on the market. The package is the size of a small book and easy to open. It contains a wireless mouse, a nano-receiver, an AA battery and a quick start guide. How to start using it...

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse - Perfect for gamers!

Advantages: Very comfortable grip, extremely smooth across the mouse mat
Disadvantages: May be considered expensive to some - but not if you want a great mouse!

...I first got into online gaming about 3 years ago and didn't have a clue about specific gaming keyboards and mice. I was happily playing with the 'standard' mouse that came with my PC until I upgraded my whole set up and decided that as I was gaming more frequently I needed a specific gaming mouse. Logitech are renowed for their gaming equipment and after hours of research on the internet decided the Logitech G5 Laser Mouse was exactly what I needed. I loved the look of this mouse from the moment I saw it but as my hands are not that big (i'm a girl after all!) I was slightly concerned that the mouse wouldn't feel as comfortable as the smaller mouse did that I'd had before. It also looked a little heavier than my previous mouse but looks can be deceiving! I first used the mouse to surf the Net to get used to it and I was extremely...

Logitech MX3000 wireless keyboard / laser mouse.

Advantages: Total precision of laser mouse and comfort hold
Disadvantages: non rechargeable batteries

...I was firstly just looking around for a laser mouse as my cordless keyboard I had was still in good condition but the mouse was on it's last legs and was eating batteries. On doing my research I found that pricewise it was better value for money to purchase the complete desktop set which included a laser mouse. I have always been a fan of Logitech and have used their products over the years without any problems. This latest product is without doubt one of my better purchases. Package Contents Logitech® MX? 3000 cordless keyboard Logitech® MX? 600 cordless laser mouse USB / PS/2 RF receiver with 3 LEDs Detachable palm rest • 4 AA alkaline batteries • CD with software, comfort guidelines and help center • Logitech® Media Life? software • Quick Start Guide •...

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse

Advantages: Customisable DPI, Interchangeable weights, Smooth to use
Disadvantages: Right hand specific

...I bought this mouse about 2 years ago to replace my age-old wireless MicroSoft mouse, which was finally biting the dust after a lengthy life in service. I chose this mouse over the (at the time) over the Logitech MX 518 because of the added benefits of having a high DPI laser mouse for gaming. The weight of the mouse is customisable by means of inserting small (4.5g and 1.7g) weights into a neat little cartridge that lives underneath the mouse. This was one of the best things with this mouse as it allowed me to keep the same weight and feel of my old wireless one - very handy not having to get used to another mouse again! The software that comes on CD is easy to install and use. It allows you to set 5 different DPI settings (changeable from the mouse) as opposed to the 3 default ones if you don't install the software...

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse

Advantages: Very responsive, fits nicely into my hand...
Disadvantages: The adjustable weight system seems superfluous for my needs...

...Basically, I bought the G5 as an update to my MX518 (another excellent mouse in my opinion) because of the higher responsiveness. I've had the mouse for about 3 months now but am still a bit unsure of what to do with the weights. I've put a few in, taken 'em out, put 'em back again and I just can't tell the difference... I'm probably a klutz. I love the textured finish and as a right-hander everything falls into place perfectly but feel sorry for the left-handers out there who'd like to use one. No problems using it, it does exactly what I expect of it and more, the software works perfectly and is easy to use. In my case I was very fortunate in that I bought my G5 when it was available under a local promotion of Logitech products, so from a value for money perspective it represents excellent value (about half price). In most respects...

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse - The Gamers Mouse

Advantages: Customisable weight, 2,000dpi provides the highest sensitivity available
Disadvantages: Designed for right-handers, Can be unresponsive on some mouse mats

...When I got my new computer a few months ago, I received a very tacky wireless mouse with it. Immediately, I started searching for a new mouse and as I enjoy playing games, I went for this, the Logitech G5. Basically, this mouse is designed for gamers as you can tune the sensitivity for different uses. You can also customise the weight of the mouse to your liking. The mouse comes with a small tin that contains eight 1.7g and eight 4.5 g weights. The weight cartridge is on the underside of the mouse so all you have to do is pick the weight you want and then slide the tray in the cartridge opening. Changing the weight isn't the only customisable feature this mouse comes with though for there are two buttons placed under the scroll wheel. These two buttons enable you to alter the sensitivity of your mouse. The standard is set to 800...

Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse VS Microsoft

Advantages: comfortable, lots of customisable controls, long battery life, good response
Disadvantages: none really

...runs at 1000 dpi. The microsfot though has a custom function which is a zoom control so that you can zoom in increasingly closer to your work with a dedicated control (albeit one set of the button controls) however, this can also be achieved with the Logitech as well. Programming the button in the software is easy on both mice and should produce no problems to anyone who is capable of using the programs that would benefit from them. Because both mice are wireless, they need synchronising with their base units which in turn are connected to the computer via USB cable. Because the Logitech has its own little neat cradle, the synch button is just below where the mouse sits. You press the button on the cradle and then press the small button underneath the mouse and hey presto, its done. I found this rarely needed doing on the Logitech...

Review of Logitech Mx 1000 Laser Cordless Mouse

Logitech V450 Laser Cordless Mouse for Notebooks

Advantages: really small, easily transportable. works on most surfaces, great Battery life
Disadvantages: Hard to open without scissors

...I recently got this mouse from Toys R Us about 1 month ago. I choose it because it was small only priced £19.99 (in a sale) and made by Logitech I like that make it has never let me down. The thing I like most about it is the size of it its only about 10 centimetres the wireless USB receiver is only about 5 if that. The reason I bought it is because I was getting annoyed at my laptops touch pad as it was really small and you cant drag or highlight things and the fact that im a gamer so I really needed a mouse. This was my first laser mouse as well the other ones I've had are the ones that have the big red light at the bottoms I think there called optical mouse's. What comes in the box? Well you get a package(the really annoying plastic stuff which you cant open unless you use scissors.) A disc which contains the control panel...

Disadvantages: no firmware upgrade for Windows XP 64bit

...back" key in my Internet explorer and Firefox browser, so that I can effortlessly get back to the previous page. You can even customize this button if you want to. The only problem I had with this mouse is the pointer locks up intermittently, though it breaks out from this if I press any one of the keys on the keyboard. Funny! I am not sure which device is causing this fault. I am not saying this is a fault of the mouse; it could be a conflict with any of the devices on my computer, or a problem with the motherboard itself. Just to ease clear away my doubts; I tried upgrading the mouse firmware from Logitech website. But guess what? Logitech do not currently have a firmware which can be upgraded on Windows XP 64bit versions. Support from Logitech websites is very good. Their knowledge base has a lot of information and solutions to...

Targus Chargable Wireless Laser mouse

Advantages: Laser precision, max grip and rechargiability
Disadvantages: Batterylife, no on-off switch, syncing to the receiver

...So, i bought the Targus AWM14EU mouse about 2 weeks ago. My experience has been good, though the "user interface" is a bit off. The sensitivity is good and I like big mice due to the grip. Also, the main buttons work fine and accurate. But, the scrollwheel is a bit loose and so are the browsing buttons under near your thumb. On the user manual, it states that you should charge the batteries for at least 8 hour for best performance. Do so, because, I charged it for 6 hours and ended up with 2 weeks of battery life. Also, it should have an on-off switch for transportation. And it looses contact to the computer, when you acciadently smash it. But smash it again and it will work , and it lags when you move it. Use at your own desire...
