 Good Laser MouseFeb 25, 2009
This is a pretty decent mouse. Battery life is excellent and the accuracy is good. Only setbacks are the SetPoint software overrides windows commands for some programs so I can used the lights at all time when I want to...and I cant believe that there isnt a patch for the use of AIM as an IM client. Noone used windows live much...at least I dont.
Thanks why I gave it 3 stars....a good mouse but not so useful for multitasking.
 Best mouse ever usedJan 27, 2009
I won't spend a lot of time on this, the MX 610 is simply the best mouse I have ever used. It has a solid feel but is not too heavy. I use rechargeable batteries and rotate them in about every 2 weeks. I've used the mouse for 40+ hrs a week (at work) for 2-3 years without any issues.
The two best things about the mouse:
#1 Ergo/overall feel (right handed of course..but there is a left handed version as well)
#2 Custom buttons. I use the left/right on the scroll wheel for copy and paste, a HUGE time saver. When I'm forced to use a computer without this mouse I am completely thrown off by the need to right click or use the keyboard for copy/paste. The other buttons can be changed around as well, but I haven't bothered.
Good job Logitech! I just hope the next mouse I need to purchase is as good as the MX 610!
A Solid 4.85 stars...Dec 09, 2008
Love this mouse. Couldn't live without it. I've got one for work, one for home. Still, Logitech could've easily earned my full five stars had they made the button mapping a little more fully-manageable without having to go with hacked drivers.
Also, the clicking sound drives my hearing-sensitive GF completely nuts. I've looked for ways to stop the click, but the click's coming from the micro-switches. You definitely know you've clicked on something though. No doubt there.
The array of buttons and the laser sensor make the mouse. You can make button maps for each of your applications, which is great for moving your oft-used keystrokes to the mouse. I map the "enter" key to the mouse for some applications. It's very handy.
The laser sensor is the best I've used so far for less-featured surfaces that can be hard to detect motion on. It's not perfect though. Don't don't expect this to work on a mirror! But still, nothing beats a standard mouse pad for good mouse accuracy.
I'd get another one in a heartbeat, and hope they keep manufacturing this line for some time to come (not likely though).
Oh yes, the fact that they have a left-hand version of this is great too. Most of my left-handed co-workers love them.
Have not seen a better mouseNov 16, 2008
The most comfortable mouse I have encountered, the laser seems to work on any surface, the batteries last a very long time. The battery indicator goes on with enough time to get new batteries. I bought one for home, then bought one for work, and have bought several as gifts, and received similar rave reviews.
Comfortable, well designed mouse but some flaws hinder it's potentialMar 31, 2008
I've had this mouse about a month now. I'll try and point out some things I feel other people have missed.
I should start with a short description of how my computer is set up on my desk, since a lot of people leave that out. I've got my tower on the left of a wooden desk and it's roughly 3ft away from where my mouse is located to the right. I've got a Netgear WNR854T Wireless-N transmitter (I would not recommend NetGear products to anyone) on top the computer case. Why does that matter? because of the wireless USB receiver for the mouse. Initially I had it plugged into the back of my computer out of the way where it couldn't get accidentally smacked by anything. However that caused severe cursor lag and unresponsiveness. I moved the receiver to the front of my tower and the response improved but still suffered from lag, especially while gaming. I searched all through the Logitech, and other, forums looking for solutions but all I usually ran into were the same complaints with little help offered other then insults hurled at Logitech's poor design. I tried switching mousepads thinking maybe it was the laser not tracking, but once again it had little effect. Finally I ordered a USB extension cable for $[...] off Amazon.com and used it to move the USB receiver to directly in front of the mouse and now I haven't had any problems at all. So like all things wireless the complaints about poor wireless performance come down to the environment, what works well for one person may not work at all for the next.
On the software side there are a few irritating problems. The Logitech "SetPoint" software is a all-in-one driver pack for all their mice and is about a 47MB package, no option to download only the drivers for your mouse. There is also a bug that occasionally occurs for some when you open Microsoft Outlook, or ActiveSync, the active window begins to flash. It seems to occur more frequently if I use the dedicated e-mail button on the mouse itself, but it has also happened when I open Outlook by the usual double clicking. It's extremely irritating as once it starts the only way to stop it is to restart your computer. If you don't, your open window and desktop will flash and interrupt either your typing or close whatever menu you opened by right clicking. Bear in mind it only happens occasionally. Logitech has no fix for this as of yet, nor do I suspect they ever will as it seems to have happened with the last several versions of their "setPoint" software.
Also, the "SetPoint" software does not seem to overwrite the mouse setting in the windows "Control Panels" for speed settings. Even though I had the pointer speed turned up high in the "SetPoint" software the mouse settings in "Control Panels" remained set at medium and it did seem to cause a few odd speed problems with the pointer. I don't recall seeing anyone else mention this, so maybe I'm just really lucky...
Overall I really enjoy the mouse despite the flaws, I have rather long fingers and it's very comfortably set-up. You can click on either side of the mouse from about the middle on up and it activates the button which is great when you're scrolling with the wheel as you can just tilt your finger a little and click either right or left next to the wheel, it cuts down on finger strain a lot especially if you're like me and spend a lot time scrolling through webpages.
It also has an off switch on the bottom. I know that might not sound like a big deal to some, but being able to turn it off when you're not using it, unlike other wireless mice, actually turned out to be a bigger deal for me then I thought it would. I've seen people complain about the "auto-off" feature not working like they thought it would, but how hard is it to turn the mouse over and hold a button for two seconds?
The last mouse I had was a Microsoft IntelliMouse 2.0 It was a good mouse, but the shape of the MX610 is far more comfortable and now that I seem to have gotten the tracking problems, despite my initial misgivings, I don't plan on replacing it anytime soon.
