This product offers a lot contradiction. Displayed wrapped in plastic, it looks no different than any other mouse out there. But that's where the similiraty ends. The best way to appreciate a Logitech product is to hold it and experience using it.
My first impression is it looked a little large for a mouse, but I found that it fits my hand perfectly. It's shape follows the normal countours of my hand.
Its a bit heavy when you lift it, but surprisingly light when you move it around, gliding easily on most surfaces. Laser tracking is very responsive and dead on. I found that I only need around 3.5 sq. in. of space to move the pointer all around the screen. Simply perfect for tight spaces.
I particulary love what Logitech did with the click wheel. In normal mode, it spins like other wheels, with that familiar tactile feedback. Click it and goes into turbo mode. Magically, the resistance is gone and the wheel spins freely. Great time saver for browsing long documents and spreadsheets. This feature alone made this mouse worth its asking price. It's simply a fantastic time saver. In my opinion, this is the most useful innovation I've seen in quite a while.
There are also lots of thoughtful little goodies too. Logitech includes two extra docking clips, a removal tool, and a couple of alcohol pads for cleaning the area where you'd want to apply the clips. All packed in a small tin container, a very nice touch that rounds out the whole package. Oh, there's also a USB extension cable.
I must admit that I had second thoughts about buying this device because of the price. But after seeing the package contents and noting the excellent build quality, I'd say it's worth every penny. The mouse feels solid, no cheap plastics here. Sure, there are thousands of cheaper mouse out there but its hopeless to compare. Let me put it this way, a compact car will get you from point A to point B, but a BMW will always drive better.
By the way, unlike other toys, batteries are included. For how long they will last? That still remains to be seen.
