Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse

Over the years I’ve used a lot of different computer mice and have never really been completely satisified with any that I’ve used until now. About two weeks ago my Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer stopped working so I had to find a replacement. I decided to order the Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse mainly because it has a laser instead of an optical sensor which means much more precise tracking. Here’s a list of features that it has which really make it stand out among other mice:

  • Logitech MX Laser Engine - The world’s first laser mouse making optical mice obsolete. This makes it 20 times more sensitive to surface detail and also so it will work on glass and polished wood-grained surfaces without requiring a mousepad.
  • Lithium-Ion Battery - Say goodbye to AA batteries and say hello to a battery that never needs replacing.
  • Illuminated 4-level Battery Indicator - Easily tell when the battery is about to die so you can charge it before it runs out of juice.
  • Rapid-Charging Base Station - A slick looking recharging station makes it so you don’t have have to worry about plugging in any wires to recharge it. Just set it on top of the stand and it will start charging.
  • Superior Grasp - Perfectly contoured to the shape of your hand…not too big nor too small.
  • Application Switch - A button in between the forward/back buttons that opens a window of the programs that are running so you can quickly change over to a different application.

I have been happy thus far and am very impressed with this mouse. If you’re not pleased with your current mouse I highly recommend picking one up as you will not be disappointed. It is compatable on both Windows and Mac platforms. It retails for $79.95 but I was able to find it on Buy.com for only $54.97 shipped!
