I had a MX Revolution with a problem (the left mouse button was starting to fail) so it was replaced under warranty but the MX Revolution is no longer available so after I sent my MX Revolution to Logitech I was sent the Performance MX. This mouse is nowhere close to as good as my MX Revolution was for several reasons.
The Bad:
1. I thought the hyper fast scrolling worked perfectly on the MX Revolution but now there is an extra button to make it use or not use the hyper fast scrolling which alone isn’t a problem but now sometimes the scrolling doesn’t work properly which I expect to be due to the current software rather than the mouse itself (though the software is part of the mouse these days). In some cases I no longer have any scrolling (usually this would be in webpages that worked fine before) and in others when I scroll at all I jump to the top or bottom with no steps between (usually that would be when browsing files).
2. The Zoom button is in a horrible location making it more difficult to get to the Forward and Back buttons and more likely to hit Zoom (which I personally never use).
3. The Window Switching button under the thumb is very easy to hit accidentally and with my dual screen setup the stupid software ends up showing the windows to select on half of one screen and half of the other screen making it little more than useless. If all it did was to use the Window Switching feature built into Windows 7 then it wouldn’t be as much of a problem but being so easy to hit it the button by accident it would still be a nuisance. On my old MX Revolution it had a sweet second wheel at the thumb to use for Window Switching and it worked PERFECTLY because it was not something that I hit by accident and it used the Window Switching built into Windows 7.
4. The shape of this mouse is not as comfortable due to the extended part on the lower right, but perhaps I just need to relearn how to hold a mouse (which should not be something a mouse should force a person to do).
5. The extension for the wireless receiver is not a true USB extension cable, it will not work with other USB devices I tried. I would have preferred that a normal USB extension cable be included since I could use that elsewhere if not for its intended purpose.

Not everything about the mouse is bad.
The Good:
1. I can use the mouse while charging it which I could not do with my MX Revolution.
2. The time using the mouse between charges is so far good (I’ve been using the mouse on its first charge for a month or so)
3. The wireless hub included is small and supposedly it can connect several more devices but I have not tried to connect anything else to it since this mouse is the only device I have that uses it.
4. The mouse comes with a extension cable in case the signal in back of the PC is too weak, but I haven’t needed it.

Overall its not a bad mouse but when I compare it to the MX Revolution I've been using for the past three years I still prefer my old MX Revolution to the "equivalent" they sent as a replacement and I would give it 3 out of 5 (though my use of the MX Revolution has raised my standards so if I never had my revolution I might have rated the Performance MX as a 4 out of 5).
Ignorance is bliss (also expensive, dangerous, and a poor excuse in general).

This mouse is excellent, and there is heavy debate about whether it's better than its predecessor, the MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse. I've been very happy with both. The MX Performance mouse is quite a bit cheaper than buying the MX Revolution on its own (the MX Revolution has found its way into the $200+ range on Amazon.com), but if you really want the MX Revolution mouse and don't want to spend the $200+ then I recommend looking at the Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard.
As far as I can tell the only difference between the two MX Revolution mice is that the mouse that comes in the MX5500 mouse+keyboard set uses the Bluetooth radio frequency standard and the MX Revolution mouse that is being sold separately on Amazon uses radio frequency for wireless communication but doesn't use the Bluetooth standard. As a result of using Bluetooth the MX Revolution mouse in the MX5500 mouse+keyboard set has the standard 1/2 to 1 second Bluetooth lag when initially connecting up to the wireless transceiver (USB dongle that plugs into USB port on computer). The MX Revolution mouse sold on Amazon doesn't have that problem because it seems to connect up to its USB dongle during computer boot-up and then again when Windows Vista loads (based on the battery status indicator lighting up twice during computer boot-up and when Vista loads, respectively, even though I haven't moved or clicked any buttons on the mouse), which means there is no initial connection lag (which seems minor, but I power up and down my computer quite often, so I'm a huge fan of getting rid of initial connection lags for wireless mice and keyboards). The MX5500 mouse+keyboard set is about $100 less than the MX Revolution mouse being sold on Amazon (with no obligation to actually use the keyboard), so I guess it comes down to how you feel about Bluetooth and a 1/2 to 1 second initial connection lag.
MX Revolution (non-Bluetooth) vs. MX Performance:
Scroll Wheel:
The MX Revolution mouse includes a context-specific and dynamically changing traditional/free-spin scroll wheel, where the free-spin engages/disengages based on the active program or web page and also engages when the user spins the wheel rapidly (the SetPoint software offers quite a bit of customization for the traditional/free-spin settings). The MX Revolution further includes a second scroll wheel on the thumb side of the mouse that can be clicked in order to display all open windows in a 3D angled perspective (see a more detailed explanation of this below), where a user can scroll through the open windows using either scroll wheel. The thumb side scroll wheel also works during regular operation (i.e., when not displaying a 3D angled perspective of the set of open windows) for incremental scrolling through programs and web pages and traditional scrolling, when holding the scroll wheel in the forward or backward position (the side scroll wheel doesn't actually spin, it just rocks forward and backward and goes back to a centered position when no force is applied by a user.

On the other hand, the MX Performance mouse only includes one scroll wheel and it doesn't have dynamically changing traditional or free-spin functionality, but the user can manually switch the scroll wheel from traditional scroll wheel functionality to free-spin with a push of a button (the button is located directly next to the scroll wheel), which is nice because I like to leave it on free-spin most of the time and only switch to traditional scroll wheel behavior when I need a bit more precision with my scrolling.
Toggle/Jump among open windows:
The MX Revolution includes a side scroll wheel that lets you flip among open windows (same behavior as "Ctrl"+"Windows key"+"tab" or the "Switch between windows" button on the taskbar in Windows Vista ("Ctrl"+"Alt"+"tab" is the original Windows version of toggling among windows...but I digress)).

The MX Performance includes a lower thumb button with similar functionality, but it presents all open windows simultaneously in a tiled format, where a tiled window enlarges slightly upon mouse-over and can be selected by clicking on it. Not quite as visually elegant as the 3D angled perspective view of all open windows, but possibly faster to find a desired window, especially with a large number of open windows (and you can still display the 3D angled perspective of all open windows using the built-in functionality in Windows Vista and then scroll through the windows using the scroll wheel).
Size and Shape:
The MX Revolution is a bit smaller than the MX Performance, but my hand rests easily on both and neither feel too small or too large and neither cause discomfort or fatigue issues with extended use. Both mice are molded nicely to comfortably rest your hand on, but if you're a lefty who doesn't use your right hand to operate a mouse then you're out of luck, because both are only designed for right handed operation. Both mice also include low resistance pads on the bottom for low resistance gliding across desks, mouse pads, etc.

The MX Revolution uses radio frequency communication (Logitech didn't name it as far as I know) and doesn't have any lag when initially using the mouse after computer boot-up.
The MX Performance uses Logitech's Unifying receiver for radio frequency communication, which also doesn't have any lag when initially using it after boot-up but the MX Performance mouse goes into a deep sleep after a prolonged period of inactivity, and it takes about one second to wake the mouse up from the deep sleep (the battery indicator lights light up when the mouse wakes back up, and the mouse cursor instantly moves when the indicator lights light up, which leads me to believe that the communication doesn't have any lag, but the MX Performance coming out of deep sleep has about a second of lag). As far as I can tell the MX Performance goes into a 'light sleep' after three to five minutes (or possibly less) of inactivity, and doesn't have any lag when coming out of this 'light sleep'. The MX Performance only goes into a deep sleep after a much longer period of inactivity, I'm not sure how long it takes to drop into deep sleep mode, but I'm guessing it's in the range of one to 10 hours, because I've only dealt with it when I turn on the computer in the morning.
The deep sleep functionality is a double-edged sword because it enables the MX Performance to aggressively conserve battery power, which means it lasts longer between charges than the MX Revolution, which doesn't have deep sleep functionality as far as I know. The other edge of the sword is the fact that from time to time you'll have to deal with a one second lag when waking up the MX Performance, which isn't an issue with the MX Revolution.
Dongles:
The MX Revolution USB transceiver dongle sticks about 1.5 inches out of the computer, which may be a concern if the dongle is in front of the computer or otherwise in an area where it can get bumped or kicked and bent or broken as a result.
The MX Revolution USB transceiver dongle sticks about 1.5 inches out of the computer, which may be a concern if the dongle is in front of the computer or otherwise in an area where it can get bumped or kicked and bent or broken as a result.
The MX Performance USB Unifying receiver dongle sticks about 0.25 inches out of the computer, which dramatically reduces (and possibly eliminates) the chance of the dongle getting damaged as a result of getting bumped or kicked. Another advantage of the Unifying receiver is that you can use a single receiver to connect up to six compatible devices, which is nice if you have a wireless keyboard that is also designed to work with a Unifying receiver.
For completeness, the USB Bluetooth MX Revolution dongle that comes with the MX5500 mouse+keyboard set sticks about 1.75 inches out of the computer. Since it uses Bluetooth protocol you can connect multiple Bluetooth devices to the computer via the single Bluetooth dongle (for a while I had two Bluetooth mice and keyboard sets connected to the computer via the same Bluetooth dongle, but there's really no point in having two active keyboards and two active mice, I just wanted to see if it would work).
Tracking Technology:
The MX Revolution includes laser tracking technology for accurate tracking on almost all surfaces.

The MX Performance mouse includes Darkfield laser tracking, which enables accurate tracking on even more surfaces than standard laser tracking, such as accurate tracking on glass.
Charging:
The MX Revolution includes a charging stand that you can drop the MX Revolution into, which is very convenient, even though you can't use the mouse while it’s charging.
The MX Revolution includes a charging stand that you can drop the MX Revolution into, which is very convenient, even though you can't use the mouse while it’s charging.
The MX Performance includes a USB charging cable (similar to charging cables for cell phones) that you can plug into the front of the mouse, but it doesn't include a charging stand. The USB charging cable enables the mouse to be used when it's charging, but plugging the cable into the front of the mouse just isn't as quick and easy as dropping it into a charging stand.
My overall impression is you can't really go wrong with any of the mice I mentioned. I have a strange pet peeve about initial connection lag, so I may try to learn more about the deep sleep function for the MX Performance mouse, to see if I can turn it off (not likely I imagine), but other than that very minor complaint the MX Performance mouse is an excellent wireless mouse at a very reasonable price.

After reading many reviews here, I wonder if I got the only perfectly working Performance MX mouse!
Everything is perfect, does exactly what it's supposed to do, very stable, receiver still works well at 30+ feet, pointer is precise and stable, sensitivity toggling very handy for games and graphics, love the rattling wheel that is quiet, battery stays charged for 3 weeks+ every time (usage average 5 hours/day).

I recommend using a mouse pad with wrist-rest.
Only problem I got was that software included which had bugs, but after download and install of the newest version software, all bugs fixed. Works perfectly.
(Would have loved to get that hyper-scrool wheel from the Revolution mouse, better than a toggle button, wonder why it got rid of.)

I have had happy relationships with a long line of different Logitech mice all progressively better than the previous offerings. When my MX Laser bit the dust I treated myself to Logitech's latest and greatest, the M950.
This mouse worked great for less than a month before it started tracking badly. It was replaced under warranty, no sweat, but the replacement failed the same way within a few weeks and was replaced a second time. This third mouse failed in less than a week. I tried all I could think of to fix it including cleaning the lenses, un pair/re-pair, shift location of dongle, reinstalling software, install new release software, etc. No fix.
I was given a fourth mouse with a different PID code. This one lasted for several months then other problems emerged. Unresponsive middle button, bad tracking again, poor response to button clicking etc. Re installed software and USB drivers, changed battery. Small improvement for a few days the back to virtually useless. Finally saw sense and got a refund. I think the problems were a combination of faulty mouse hardware and radio interference on the unifying wireless.This mouse has cost me many times its purchase price (not cheap either) in time, lost productivity and travel costs.
I have now brought a G700 mouse which was cheaper, has more functionality, better button action, a dedicated wireless connection and a wired option if things go wrong. I will see how it performs.
Beware the unifying receiver.

Pros:
1. It has just enough buttons to configure. I configured mine so that instead of zoom it would close a window, the up and down zoom were changed to volume control and the change window button is mute.
2. Battery life is great, lasts a day of full gaming or you can leave it charging ie. plugged in 24/7
3. It being wireless was good for me when watching movies and TV shows in bed
4. It really glides when you use it and the weight is just right
5. The shape of the mouse is so good i can use it all day and not feel any discomfort
6. The charger is a micro USB so you can charge other things like your phone while you're not charging your mouse

Cons:
1. Since it is wireless, FPS games aren't the best for it. When sniping there is a millisecond lag that can cost your life because it's wireless, but I've managed for 2 years now.
2. The cord is a bit rigid so when charging it wasn't as comfortable when gaming

Overall:
If you have the dough and want a wireless mouse this is the one you should get. It might be a bit big for laptop users but when i do get a laptop I am sure I will unify my mouse with my laptop.
At the moment I feel like a wired mouse and am considering the GX9

My MX Revolution started having issues, so I need a replacement. I saw there is this new model and I got it today.
The ONLY reason why I decided to buy a $100 mouse was the SmartShift feature. I don't need wireless, I don't need that many buttons, I don't care about Darkfield or unified receiver.
I love the SmartShift feature. And I assumed this mouse has it.

It doesn't, which means the mouse is going back first thing in the morning. And I need to find another mouse. Either used MX Revolution, or something much simpler and cheaper, if I can't get SmartShift anyway.
Way to go, Logitech!

Really great mouse, sits perfectly in my hand, and works as it should. But it has a tiny problem... it works only a few months at most, then you have a double clicking problem, or a wheel problem or something else...considering it lets you down so soon after purchase, it is not worth 10% of its price. this is now my second mouse in 6 months, and I am just so disappointed, that i don't thing i'll buy any Logitech products again.

The ergonomics is really what made me buy this product. It fits perfectly in my hand. The disappointment is with the rechargeable battery that drains way too fast. And when I connect the cable in the usb port to recharge the battery, Windows 7 seems to loose the mouse. Even after a reboot. The workaround is to keep using the wireless micro usb device. In that case, I need 2 usb ports. It also catch a lot of dust. There are too many details, too many junctions and cracks that collect dust. A simpler design would not remove any feature and it would stay clean longer.

-- This mouse has several hardware issues - foremost of which is the double-click issue which has finally been addressed by Logitech (after eight months).
-- Other problems include cursor hang-ups, poor tracking (cursor vibration), and inconsistent battery life.
-- Logitech & User Forums offer no valid solutions despite the product being a couple years old.

Logitech has excellent customer service and has graciously replaced TWO of these mice at no charge for me. But for $100, I'm quite displeased with the poor hardware of this product.
tl;dr - This mouse has hardware issues. I've gone through three in 10 months. Bad luck or bad mouse? Your gamble.

The mouse runs fine if it is connected with usb wire. Whenever i go wireless and try to play a game, the mouse will lag so bad i cant even use the mouse, it's as if the mouse is responding only 1/10 of the time. as soon as the mouse is plugged into the computer via the VERY bad USB cable that came with it, it works fine. the USB cable is so hard and rigid you have to struggle with the mouse to move it. what's the point of paying $100+ for "wireless" mouse when you can't even use it wireless? the wire is so bad that i can't even be happy with the mouse and pretend it's a nice wired mouse.
I paid for a premium item and received a faulty item.

Our old Revolutions finally died after about 18 months of daily use. So 13 months ago, so I replaced them with two of these MX Performance mice.
Overall, the features are enough for our use, battery life is reasonable, the tracking is excellent, the "feel" is superb! But the quality may be an issue, especially for a mouse that retails at $100.
My wife's is still working fine, mine has the dreaded left button problem as reported by others on here. Sometimes it won't "clicK", other times it multi-clicks and it loves to release in the middle of a drag and drop.
It isn't the computer, I've tested it on my Windows desktop, Dell and Mac notebooks, using Windows 7, Ubuntu and Mac OS X, with and without the set point software and with different transceivers. The problem moves with the mouse.
I don't have my hopes up but will be contacting customer service to see if there's anything that they'll do. We own numerous Logitech keyboards, mice, trackballs, the Logitech Revue (Google TV), Harmony remotes, etc.
If they won't do anything for me, I'll probably replace this with a MX Anywhere. I use that with my Dell and love it.

This is a great mouse, the ergonomics are amazing, it fits in my hand like a glove the dip is extremely precise, and the hyper scroll is, well hyper. there are a few quirks bout this.
I am in high school and i got this mouse as a gift. my hand is relatively small, and my little finger is hanging off akwardly to the side, but when my hand fully grows it will fit perfectly.
I also have a bad desk, which means there are a lot of bumps and scratches. this has caused a great loss in performance, meaning a great deal of loss in performance. i had to get my dad do let me use his old desk just for the sake of my mouse, and it started working like a charm.
Another quirk, before this mouse i was using the M510 by Logitech when i was gaming, it was seamless, but with this mouse, it was lagging like crazy, it may have been that i was running iTunes and SetPoint on my mouse and Keyboard, but it lags. I am using a dell inspiron 17r laptop with dual core i7 with 8 gigabytes of rams, and i am still trying to find out the problem
From my experience with my previous desk, the pads underneath have been thoroughly scratched up, meaning that they look like the back of my iPod touch after one year,(if you don't get that joke, it's okay) and it catches on the micro scratches in this desk, and i think that Logitech should sell replacement pads or a mouse pad to go with it.
Any way, this is overall a great mouse, but borrowit from a friend before you buy so you can make sure that your computer setup will work for this mouse.

I have had this mouse for years now without any issues. Yes, the battery life is a little low but it easily works for a few days without charging. If you can't plug it in overnight to recharge every other day, then find a different mouse.
I have large fingers/hands and have had no issues at all using the mouse wheel for side scrolling, clicking, scrolling up/down and only having it do exactly what I want it to do (no extra clicks). The window button on the thumb rest is a great tool and I use it all the time. By far the best hand-fitting mouse I have used.

This is an excellent mouse and well worth the price in my opinion. This is the 2nd MX I've had, but this one has the darkfield and unify technology that make it truly superior.
The only thing I don't like about this newer MX is that the thumb buttons seem a little too close for my liking. Would be great if they moved them forward just another tad.

This is the best mouse I have ever purchased.My only complaint is the battery life.I use the mouse about 2.5 hours per day and I have to recharge it every 4 to 5 days which means that it only lasts between 10 and 12 hours when fully charged.If I had to use it all day,every day it would not be practical.Aside from that it is perfect.

Really happy about this purchase. I have used Logitech for pretty much all my accessories from speakers, mice, and keyboards. It is really hard to find a full-size heavier mouse and even though this is 100 bucks, it is totally worth it. If you want a small mouse and batteries to last half a year there are plenty of options out there, but if you want an epic mouse then this is the only choice.
