Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Excellent mouse.......2007-04-06

This is almost the perfect mouse. I wish some of the buttons were a little
bit different feeling, so it would be easier to tell them apart by feel, but overall I love it and have had no problems at all.

It has a great feel to it.

Way to go Logitech!

4 out of 5 stars Great mouse, wish it were wider.......2007-04-02

I previously preferred the Microsoft mice, but they have either gone wireless (don't want that), changed designs away from what I liked, or the worst - the quality just isn't there.
I am a tech consultant and am on a computer at the very least 12 hours a day, so I need something that will last. The Microsoft mice were fantastic, I loved their feel, but their buttons weren't made well and would break quickly.
The last one I had only 2 months before it broke.

I bought this Logitech as a replacement and while I don't like the way it feels as much (too narrow for my tastes, but I have pretty big hands), it does exactly what I want.
I will be buying these from now on, at least as long as they keep this design and build quality.

I don't play games with mine, so I can't speak to how well they work for that, and I don't care how they look - I just want it to work well in daily use for a range of applications.

5 out of 5 stars Ultimate Mouse.......2007-03-12

With all the bottons you're given on this mouse, there is a lot more you can do toward gaming. I use it all the time for gaming and even surfing the net, it's the best mouse I've seen and experienced to date. If you need a top of the line mouse, then be sure to purchase the MX500.

5 out of 5 stars Can't be happier with this mouse.......2007-03-07

I had this mouse for almost 3 years right now and it's still in perfect condition. If I ever need to buy another mouse, I will still choose Logitech.

3 out of 5 stars I wouldn't rush out to buy this one . . . .......2007-02-01

I know that this mouse is kinda old and outdated but it's hard to find a good wired mouse these days. I read all about Logitech and the MX series mice and had a good feeling going into this.

Physical Stuff:
I got the mouse and was very excited. It has a somewhat unusual feel to the mouse itself. You can feel the mouse very slightly 'stick' to your hand when you touch it. The finish isn't extremely smooth. But other than that, it fits good in the hand. The button placement isn't bad, considering how many buttons you have. The wheel button presses fairly hard, almost too hard and the wheel scrolls with a 'cheap' feel. I won't expect this one to last all that long. Overall, I was fairly pleased with the mouse, until I tried . . .

Software:
The Logitech MouseWare software is TERRIBLE. They claim that it allows for button customization, which it does, but for 1 program. There is no 'Program Specific' customization. If you run CAD applications or Firefox, or any program that deviates from Windows defaults, you are basically SOL. I've done reading and Logitech has an 'Advanced Settings Program' which is more of a joke than MouseWare. It basically gives you 10 check marks which do no good. There are 3rd party software that I think will do the job like LogiGame, but that's another RAM hogging program to run.

Overall:
If you want to do REAL computing, programming, CAD, graphic editing, look at other mice. I can't say for 'games' because I don't play computer games. I came from a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 and would go back in a heartbeat if I could. I was suckered in by Logitech's reputation here, don't do the same.

            Product Description

            Bad memory can cause anything from annoying error messages to complete system failures. Why risk it with cheap "mystery" memory? When you buy memory from Crucial, you're buying the same high-quality memory that leading computer manufacturers install in the systems they sell. In fact, because Crucial is a division of Micron, one of the world's largest DRAM manufacturers, chances are good that you have their memory in your system right now. While the "other guys" might claim to manufacture memory, they really just assemble modules out of chips made by someone else. Some don't have first-class assembly procedures, and some even use chips that failed to meet computer manufacturer's stringent testing requirements. Crucial memory goes through much more rigorous testing procedures than many other brands of memory. Some memory assemblers choose to accept a certain "defect rate" because it's cheaper to deal with returns than to test every part they sell. That may help their bottom line, but it's sure a pain in the neck if you're one of the customers who ends up with a bad module. That's why Crucial thoroughly tests EVERY module they sell and put their name only on the ones that meet their strict standards. You might expect memory this good to cost a lot more, but you'd be wrong. As an online memory upgrade provider selling directly from the manufacturer, Crucial memory is often available at lower prices than lower-quality modules.
