I've been using this mouse every day for nearly 3 years, and I'm very happy with it. It fills the hand well, far more comfortable than cheap standard mice, and the buttons are well-positioned. It glides well, but I've had to glue two of the pads back in place. The fast-scroll button is great for long documents, and the forward-back buttons are really handy too (in the few programs that support them). However, the middle-click action is stiff and mushy and takes practice to get it right. I didn't need to install any software; it works perfectly with stock Linux drivers. Using the PS2 adaptor it doesn't work with my KVM switch, unlike native PS2 mice. On balance though, an excellent everyday professional mouse.

It feels like I'm trying to move this mouse through mud. It's horrible. I've tried different configurations to even several different mouse pads and surfaces to no avail.
The accuracy is non existent, the pointer just seems to go wherever it wants. I though the Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500 was bad with its scrolling and clicking problems. But that is a lot more tolerable than this. At least the darn thing would move in the direction I moved to go in, and not have to fight with it like this badly designed piece of junk.
The only good points about this mouse are that it doesn't have the clicking and scrolling issues that some other mice have. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean squat when you have to fight with the silly thing to move it in the direction you want it to.
I'm just so frustrated. Forty bucks for a piece of junk. Thanks Logitech. This is the last time I'll buy any of your products.

I love wired mice, you do not have to deal with batteries. That is the reason I went with the M500. I also have the wireless M505 which is a good mouse, but because it is wireless I don't use it anymore.
This mouse is okay, but it can be so much better.
Logitech, PLEASE PLEASE make it a heavier (or weight adjustable) as it feels very cheap and light. The tracking seems to be okay, but compared to my old optical mouse, this one actually seems a little worse. Also please put a rubber scroll wheel versus the "plasticy" one on this mouse. The rubber scroll wheels feel so much better, I cant preach it enough. Another thing I noticed, when I downloaded the driver software for this mouse, the auto-scroll feature disappears. The feature is the main reason I wont be using this mouse as it is very important for me.... I was heart broken when I noticed it was gone.
For those who don't know what the auto scroll feature is, it is the circle icon that appears when you press/click the scroll wheel of the mouse in and the move up an down for the browser to auto scroll for you.
For those who don't know what the auto scroll feature is, it is the circle icon that appears when you press/click the scroll wheel of the mouse in and the move up an down for the browser to auto scroll for you.
I do like the extra buttons, however. Its is awesome that you can assign tasks to certain buttons such as moving back and fourth in a web browser (although it doesn't always work) and launching mission control on the mac with a single mouse button click.
P.S. This mouse is louder than any of my other mice. The scroll wheel can be adjusted to scroll really faster with a click of a button.

Nice plain look. (One of the few without a stupid gimmick.)
Corded. (One of the few where you can rule out rage-inducing spotty wireless. The peace of mind I get from the rock solid performance in day-to-day use is easily worth it.)
Very pleasant to use. Never had a single problem with it. (Unlike many other more expensive mice.)
The only downside is you are limited to using it with your right hand. Not for lefties or the ambidextrous.

This is the perfect mouse for me. I am a heavy spreadsheet and word user, with lots of web surfing. I also review and superficially edit thousands of photos as part of my work. I prefer the corded as batteries always run out at the most inconvenient time. The ergonomics totally work for me, and the free-scroll wheel feature is a massive help, when dealing with long documents and zoom function. The one issue I have is that the device tends to be somewhat fragile. I have two at home, and am on my third at the office over the last 4 years. Warranty support was responsive, but inconsistient in process. I do not load the Logitech driver software, and have no performance issues - focus, target, or jerkiness. I do not use the middle click feature, so that's not a problem for me. Will buy another when this one dies. All in all, a great mouse for me !

A corded mouse was hard to find to replace my old one (a Logitech of course). I use digitizing software, and wanted one with more precision than that of my old mouse -- being able to point and click on something the size of the period in this sentence. This one jumps right past the point I am aiming for. I have tried adjusting settings through the windows control panel, changing mouse pads, etc. -- to no avail. The old, no frills, Logitech worked better!
That said, I will try the newest SetPoint app to see if I can gain more control over this mouse when using the embroidery software.
I can work longer with little finger, hand, and wrist fatigue -- a big plus!

It is a very good mouse. Some say here that they bother to scroll wheel. I think that is very precise and does not bother me at all. It's a well-balanced mouse. I recommend.

This is a great mouse, with one major problem: the middle click. The mouse wheel requires too much force to register a click, a specific angle from which you must push it down, and often makes the click sound without registering the actual click. For me, it takes an average of 3 middle clicks for it to actually register. I got a replacement which had the same problem, leaving me to conclude that this is a design flaw of this model.
Otherwise, it is ergonomic (right handed), comfortable, the other buttons feel good, and it's nice and quick when using in Windows, which goes great with high resolution displays.
I want to love this mouse, but I middle click often, and the unreliable middle click detection drives me crazy.

It's not a bad mouse. It's perfectly usable for normal works and also sufficient for gaming, but there's one major flaw: the mousewheel. Free wheel may sound useful, but the mouse wheel is also inaccurate. Mouse wheel clicks don't always respond and need more force (compared to other mice) which makes browsing less comfortable. Additionally, you probably won't need that feature too often. If you do, this mouse may just work perfectly for you but if you don't you may reconsider your choice.

Am I the only right-handed person who uses a mouse with the left hand? This is a very good mouse but I wish they made a abidextrous version. Using it with my right hand was uncomfortable after awhile and trying to use left hand can become painful. I love the long cord, and the features are awsome. The programmable scroll wheel is smooth as butter but this is not a comfortable mouse for me after using it awhile. So I am shopping for a replacement.

The wheel is too moves too much and the wheel (M500) on the M310 has better contorl. So if the is a way to update the drivers on this mouse (M500), so you have more contorl on the wheel!!

Completely adjustable, ultra sensitive. The free scoll feature is amazing and you have the ability to turn it off with a simple click of a buttion when it is not wanted or needed. The accelleration is adjustable, so for those who find this mouse jerky, you need to adjust the accelleration to your individual needs which is easy to do. This is a hot mouse for Cad applications and it learns to work with most packages; you have the ability to manage the settings for each app.

My Microsoft IntelliPoint 3.0 mouse, over the last few months, had started to double (and then triple) click when I would only click once, so I was in the market for a new mouse. I didn't do any research prior to buying a new one since I planned to buy the same one (hey, I'd been using it for years, it was a great mouse) but they didn't have any at the place I went, so I had to shop. All my options were between different Logitech models by this point.. this is one of the ones they had out on display and I liked everything about it except that it doesn't quite support my hand the same as the mouse I used to have. Now I have it home and I like pretty much everything else so far. It was extremely sensitive upon initially connecting it, but I just turned that down in mouse settings in the control panel. I really like the scroll wheel and the ability to change the modes with the button right beneath it. It has the two side buttons, which I use in games more than anything else, which my last mouse had and is basically the only thing I looked for when looking for a replacement.
TL;DR Doesn't hold up to the standards of many people as far as ergonomics, otherwise it is an outstanding mouse. Thanks Logitech.

Mouse is great - could be a bit taller from an ergonomic perspective, but otherwise great. The wheel is awesome.
After installing the software I seem to periodically lose control of the mouse, forcing a reboot. I am using Win 7 64-bit. It might be the Microsoft IntelliPoint (my previous mouse) fighting with the Logitech software, I don't know. I would be surprised if it had anything to do with the hardware. Going to have to add/remove/reinstall software and not too thrilled. :(

This mouse is super awesome. I really can't switch out to any other mouse.
At first, I felt like returning the mouse because the "frictionless scroll wheel" felt very flimsy, however, the weather that kept me inside had me get used to it. I can now say that I'm glad I didn't return it and it honestly is the best thing about the mouse.
Another feature I didn't like at first was the back and forward buttons on the side. I felt that I couldn't get a good grip on the mouse w/out accidentally clicking on them. However, it accustomed me to a much more comfortable grip which gives me less strains. Now I hate visiting other computers w/out the back/forward buttons because I don't like clicking 'back' on the internet browser :p
I would strongly recommend this mouse, but I also recommend you do your research, products are always changing.

I bought two of these units for my lap top and desk top. They work better then any mouse I have ever had. I use AutoCad on my desk to and this mouse is very precise. It is very responsive and once you get use to the sensitivity of the unit you really begin to appreciate how good it really is when working in a drawing program.

As I got it, it looked pretty big to me. When I click or use middle click, it is noisy; the middle click is a little bit firm to push, and the scrolling wheel is pretty much noisy too. But after I activated the Hyper-fast scrolling, which was my favorite feature, the noise was gone, and I think I leave it this way.Overall, I did not like the ergonomic design and its size; however, it has some good features such as side keys, which I could change their job by installing the software, and Hyper-fast scrolling.If you bought it, I recommend to download the software to make the necessary changes.
