Logitech Performance Mouse MX

Mouse technology has come a long way since the rollerball mice of the1980s. Logitech's Performance Mouse MX drives that point home--it canbe used on practically any surface, and it offers features that ourfirst Mac mouse could never have dreamed of.

Unifying receiver works with multiple devices. Precision tracking. Plenty of options to customize button functions. Great battery life. Includes wall charger, USB cable, and USB extension

Too big for small hands. And it's a $100 mouse. Sorry lefties, it's right-hand only

The Logitech Performance Mouse MX offers beautifully precise, customizable control, and the Unifying receiver makes it a breeze to use multiple compatible peripherals.

Logitech Performance Mouse MX

The Logitech Performance Mouse MX's high-tech tracking technology gives it functionality other mice can't easily match, but in a less-than-intuitive design.

Lots of programmable buttons. Usable on a wide variety of surfaces

Odd design requires some adjustment. Button placement not always ideal. For right-handed use only. Included software gives fewer button-configuration options than Microsoft equivalent

Logitech Anywhere MX Mouse

Not to be outdone by Microsoft and its BlueTrack laser tracking technology, Logitech recently introduced the Anywhere Mouse MX with Logitech's new Darkfield laser sensor. Darkfield tracks on almost all surfaces, including nonmirrored glass--a surface...

Darkfield technology tracks on any surface including glass; Unifying receiver pairs easily with other Logitech peripherals; power button conserves battery life; runs off a single AA battery.

Pricier than other mobile mice; smooth vertical rocker lacks precision.

The Anywhere Mouse MX bears Logitech's multiconnective Unifying receiver and glass-tracking Darkfield laser, but $80 is too much for a portable mouse--especially when the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 costs half the price for almost the same...

Logitech Performance Mouse MX

Logitech's Performance Mouse MX is the desktop cousin to the company's mobile Anywhere Mouse MX, and it's every bit as fabulous. Both mice feature Logitech's exquisite Darkfield Laser Tracking, which enables them to function accurately on just about...

Operates on any surface ; including glass and mirrors; one USB receiver can operate several peripherals; extremely easy device pairing; great ergonomics

Reaching the left rear thumb button is awkward; carry pouch can accommodate only the receiver ; cables ; and AC adapter

Logitech's Unifying and Darkfield Laser Tracking technologies make for an awesome wireless mousing experience.

Logitech Performance Mouse MX

Following Logitech's announcement of its new glass-tracking Darkfield mouse sensor, Microsoft countered that only 7 percent of mouse users were interested in mousing on glass. Microsoft also suggested that the remaining 93 percent had already been...

New Darkfield sensor lets you mouse almost anywhere, including glass; wireless and rechargeable, with no downtime while recharging; tiny USB microreceiver works with other products in Logitech's Unifying devices family; variety of useful, customizable...

Expensive (but worth it); Unifying feature only a benefit if you upgrade to other Unifying products.

Logitech has met and surpassed Microsoft's recent mouse technology innovations by introducing the most versatile mouse sensor on the market in its new Performance Mouse MX. But even if you don't have a glass table crying out to become a workspace, this...

Logitech Performance Mouse MX Review

When Logitech released its Revolution MX nearly five years ago, it delivered a mouse that impressed - and for good reason. It featured a great design that was both comfortable and attractive, and had a very effective hyper scroll wheel. With the...

Review: Logitech Performance Mouse MX

This mouse is very comfortable, feels sturdy, and all of its buttons (except the thumb button) are in the right places.

The Performance Mouse MX is designed for right-handers (sorry, lefties). There’s a groove along the left side of the mouse for your thumb, and the mouse fits my hand nicely. The mouse is a little on the heavy side, weighing 5.8 ounces, but I didn’t...
