I used a PS2 mouse before with my desktop computer and my problem is that its cord often gets tangled with other cables so I decided to buy a wireless mouse to take away the wire and to free up some space on my desk at the same time. I got this wireless mouse from my local tech shop a month ago for a nice price and I was amazed at how convenient it is to use.
My new mouse is the M305 silver wireless mouse from Logitech. It is doing nicely with Windows XP Pro, and I am planning to test it with Windows 7 later. It is a bit smaller than my old mouse which makes it lighter and much easier to move about. I like its stylish design, nice contour, and it feels good to the touch because of the soft rubber grip – an overall superb ergonomics!
Located on its underside is the power switch which can be useful if you will not use the mouse for a long time. Aside from that, it also has a sleep mode feature that automatically turns off when idle for quite a while. I have never turned it off since I got it a month ago. The single “AA” battery that came with it is still going strong; that at least will save me some money on battery replacements. From sleep mode, there is one second delay wake up time but that is just a very minor issue.
I have heard that wireless mice can work even from afar, and just to satisfy my curiosity I tested it from a distance where I can barely read the fine print on my big screen (about 5 meters away) and it worked well! I have not tried it further than that but come to think of it, nobody will use it that far anyway.
The one thing I like the most about this mouse is its nano receiver. The receiver plugs conveniently into one of my computer’s USB port and it is so small you can hardly notice it is there. I think the size of the receiver is an important issue here, especially when used with laptops. Because laptops are moved around most of the time, the devices connected to it such as flash drives and receivers are prone to damage when left attached. In fact, I am planning to buy another one of these for my laptop.
The only thing I did not like about this mouse is its height as it is to some extent tall. I had a bit of difficulty adjusting my hand to it, but this is just a minor setback and this will not stop me from buying another Logitech M305 Wireless Mouse.
I have not tried the M305 with games so I cannot compare it with other gaming mice.
In conclusion, I like this wireless mouse. It is easy to install – no setup is needed, it feels fine, looks good, is competitively priced, and most of all, it performs very well. So for those who are looking for a wireless mouse that can deliver a superb performance, I highly recommend Logitech M305 Wireless Mouse. Get it now and you sure will enjoy using it on your laptop or PC.
This is a superb mouse and I would say is one of the best that I have used. Following are some of the features of the Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX, which I like:
* Staying on the laptop at all times is the innovative nanno receiver.
* It is wireless so there is no worry of matching or pairing it and you do not have to wait for long to get going.
* It can be brought wherever you are. The word “anywhere” is completely true!
* Though small in size, all the buttons that you need are present.
* It has a superb dual-mode scroll wheel to make scrolling fast and flowing.
* It is designed ergonomically not withstanding its small size.
* The on and off switch underneath also acts as a protective flap for its sensor.
* It comes with a handy carrier.
So what are the differences between the Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX with that of the VX Nanno.
1. The size. The Anywhere MX is heavier compare with the VX Nanno which is lighter by 30-40%. The batteries could have done it. Anywhere MX uses double “A” batteries while VX Nanno uses the triple “A”. Anyway, as I went on using it, I found out that you can use a single double “A” battery for the Anywhere MX thus making its weight lighter.
2. The Adaptability. The Logitech Wireless Anywhere MX works on any surface in contrast to the VX Nanno, which works only on shiny surfaces. The former can work on both shiny and transparent surfaces. In fact, you can use it even on glass.
3. The forward and back buttons of Anywhere MX has its buttons on its side to make it more convenient and accessible for the thumb. The VX Nanno has them on top. The side buttons of the Anywhere MX is really a big advantage over the VX Nanno as the latter’s buttons are not that great to operate. (In fact, it a common complain among its users.) I am happy that Logitech took this into consideration.
4. The on and off buttons make switching the Anywhere MX trouble free.
5. The innovative Nanno receiver. This feature of the Logitech Wireless Anywhere MX can support a number of devices so there is no worry to pairing it off. VX Nanno still has the old one.
6. The Price. The Anywhere MX is pricey compared to the VX Nanno which is about 40% cheaper than the former.
7. The USB Extension holder. The Anywhere MX must have forgotten this item when they thought of the whole package. VX Nanno has this feature which is a necessity for desktop users.
8. The handy bag. The pouch of the Anywhere MX is neat and tidy unlike that of the VX Nanno.
In summary, the Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX offers a lot of features in just a small room. It would be the most suitable portable mouse for someone with a small hand size and who does not need the application switch and middle mouse button. Not to forget is its very dear price as well.
Whenever I work on my PC, I almost always wanted to bang my mouse. It is just not working right anymore. So I said it is about time to get a replacement which I did. I bought the Logitech Wireless Performance Mouse MX which works for both the PC and the Mac. And boy was I glad!
Before I discuss to you the benefits I got from the Logitech Wireless Performance Mouse MX, let me first tell you its features.
* This mouse works on surfaces you would not imagine a mouse would; it works on glass.
* It hangs about in your computer. Once you plug it in, compatible wireless gadget can be added without a need for numerous USB receivers
* It can be recharged via your computer or a power outlet even as you are using it.
* Scrolling is made faster than any other mouse, and
* Fashioned to fit your right hand that includes a crafty thumb control to make web browsing, zooming, switching application much easier.
Going back to my own experience in using this mouse, I would really say that it is worth the price as I find it very comfortable to use. It was only about three weeks ago when I purchased the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000. It gave me pain on my forearm and hand and I blame it on its non-ergonomic design although it claims that it is intended for both right and left hand users. The next mouse that I used was the Apple Mighty Mouse which, sad to say, also has the same design errors.
In contrast to these two mice, the Performance MX did not give me much tension on my hand and arm. The furrow where the thumb sits gives me more control aside from it giving a remarkable feeling.
When you buy the Logitech Wireless Performance Mouse MX, you also get a kit which is not just neat and tidy but very functional. A Micro-USB recharging cable comes with the kit. This allows you to continue with your work while it is being charged. All you need to do is plug one end into the mouse and the other into the computer – so your work is not at all disturbed. Aside from that, a wall-to-USB adapter is also included allowing you to charge the mouse in any power outlet if there is no accessible USB slot. To help desktop users, a USB extension cable is provided to make repositioning the USB receiver easier while there is a helpful small bag for notebook users to hold the cords and power plug.
With a MacBook Pro, three buttons are provided to make usage functional with no need of putting in drivers. Smaller than the magsafe power adapter head is the USB receiver.
Well, I did of course hope it was a Bluetooth mouse. Nevertheless, the comfort it gives me in using it is greater than any other Bluetooth mouse available in the market. Compared with the Bluetooth mouse, the Logitech Wireless Performance Mouse MX has its pointer moving with much accuracy, fluidity and with ease.
In conclusion, I would say that the Logitech Wireless Performance Mouse MX as a whole is enough to make you happy even as it is not Bluetooth. The important thing is it makes navigation a whole lot faster and easier.
