Very Happy Customer using Mac & PC

Date:May 21, 2013
I purchased one of these for my new Mac laptop, hoping for the best and throwing caution to the wind after only reading a few reviews and watching 2 video reviews.
Let me say that Logitech has far exceeded my expectations. Starting with the packaging all the way to customizing the mouse functions to the beautiful design...they REALLY put some serious time and thought into this design. I would say they must have gathered as much input from their customers on what they are looking for and applied that to this design.
Possibilities are endless for function settings and the software couldn't make it easier to change them.
The comfort of this product is unparalleled, it's sleek, the dimensions are generous and spacious. Not once have I experienced discomfort and that is after 3 hours solid of computer use. The location of the thumb buttons have a completely natural feel and the rubber padding on the thumb side increases control and comfort. Trust me when I say this will spoil you!
I use this item on a PC and I couldn't be happier with the cross platform utilization. Again, the software is incredibly easy to install, set up and customize.
If you are on the fence on this, take my advice, get it and never look back.
I am not a gamer, but I am using this for personal use for browsing and as a student using CATIA 3D Design software. Flawless in both situations and again, customizing is a as easy as pie.
I hope this helps.
If I had a CON it would be that it is slightly on the heavy side, but that sensation quickly dissipates after the first 2-3 uses of it. Not much of a complaint but I say it because you will notice it.
PRO's are all listed above and let me point out that this DOES work on any surface. Sooo stoked.
I love it and highly recommend it.

Awesome Mouse!

Date:May 21, 2013
I've been using this mouse for over a year now and quite simply, IT IS THE MOST AWESOME MOUSE I HAVE EVER USED!
I have several computers with many different mice, this one blows the others away. Has a nice feel to it, solid build, very precise. I do wish it contained 2 batteries instead of one to go longer between charges, but with performance like this, I'll easily live with it.
I have had many logitech products over the years and they easily outperform other brands on a regular basis. Logitech is always my first choice when shopping for a new keyboard, mouse, chat headset or webcam.

Every click a double click

Date:May 2, 2013
Just read a review that summed it up perfectly... the thing wants to do everything twice. I've used it for a long time... as I usually use most of my mice. Guess I'm a glutton for punishment as I've had this problem for quite some time. I have to be careful to click clearly or the thing reads a double click, probably going to downgrade to an older model, this thing is just too irritating.

Lost best feature of MX Revolution: SmartScroll

Date:April 18, 2013
To be clear, this is still a great mouse. Nice ergonomics, looks good, excellent performance. However, to anyone who's ever used its predecessor, the MX Revolution, you'll really miss the killer feature: automatic speed- and context-sensitive switching between ratcheted precision scrolling, and hyper-fast freewheel scrolling. On the Revolution, you just never had to even think about the mode, it just adapted itself on-the-fly to do what you wanted. On the newer Performance MX, you need to use an awkwardly-placed button to manually switch between the two modes. Considering that hyper-fast scrolling is the principal reason for spending twice the normal price on a high-end mouse, you'll probably want to just leave it always in hyper-fast mode, and just put up with it being annoyingly sensitive for your higher-precision tasks. What a shame to drop the best feature of its predecessor. Logitech designers, if you read these posts, please bring back SmartScroll on the next version. All the other multiple-button features and all that are just fluff; "it's the scroll, stupid!"

Something isn't right with this thing

Date:April 11, 2013
After many years of reliable use, my old Logitech MX1000 finally died and I replaced it with one of these.
For some reason this mouse has a problem where it wants to do everything twice, like double click even though I only click it once. It's driving me nuts and I read that there's a problem with the battery/capacitor and the fix is to take the battery out every once in a while to discharge it, which seems to fix the problem. Unfortunately I have to do it 5 times a day because it keeps coming back.
This thing is going in the trash and I'll get a mouse from someone else.
Not recommended.

Great Mouse but Tilt doesn't work with MS Visio

Date:March 27, 2013
I have purchased three of these mice (and getting a fourth). These multi-function mice are awesome. You can charge the battery while using the mouse (no removing the batteries), and switch the mouse off all the way when not using. The mouse wheel can be toggled between free-spin and detent with a push of a button (awesome). Great egronomic design and feels great in hand. However, Logitech developers were unable to correct a driver error with the mouse using the tilt left or right wheel with horizontal scrolling within MS Visio.

Good for work ok for gaming

Date:March 26, 2013
This mouse is excellent. There are no connection problems it has a good ergonomics and it could be used on any surface removing the need for a mouse pad. Though the mouse is really good to me its just as good as any other wireless mouse made by logitech, unless the macro keys are really needed that much, it is just another mouse with just the ability to go on glass. I really like it and have been using it for over a year but I believe that its not that special.

Definitely not an MX Revolution

Date:March 25, 2013
I've been using an MX Revolution for years. In my opinion it is/was the best mouse out there. It was well designed, had an excellent long battery life, and, most importantly, it had a key differentiator - the smart shift on the scroll wheel. I just bought the new model because the old one was beginning to exhibit the double click problem. Boy was I disappointed. No smart shift! That's a non-starter. I'd rather use the old model with its double click problem than use the new one. So I am returning it. I should have read the reviews first. . ..

Excellent for CAD

Date:March 12, 2013
I've used this mouse everyday with AutoCAD for well over a year. The programmable buttons make my workflow much smoother. I usually get few days out of the battery without charging. Even if you have to plug it in at night, what does that matter? As long as you get a full day life is good. I have had absolutely no problems with this mouse. Excellent product! I don't know that there is much that could be improved on.

Amazing Mouse

Date:March 12, 2013
I have had this mouse for almost a year now and all I can say is it is amazing. Everything works great on it. I was trying to chose whether I should get this or a gaming mouse but i chose this because I had a coupon for Logitech. Since getting it i have never had problems. It fits like a glove and the buttons are still working after a year. One of the buttons has slightly been pushed down but it is only noticeable if you are trying to find it. As earlier stated the battery life isn't great but i lost the charger and I just use duracells and I have found that I only have to replace the battery every week or longer.

battieres not good if you work all day.

Date:February 5, 2013
I have found that if you need your mouse all day while working, you get 1 day, not as advertised but in all its a great mouse to have because you can plug in while working and charge.

Logitech Performance MX: A Monster mouse

Date:February 5, 2013
Absolutely with no question the best mouse ever. Had an initial issue with short battery life and have found that it is best to stick it on charge overnight on it's own charger and have had 5 days and still on two bars of battery indicator. Incredibly ergonomic design, it is like an extension of your hand and I use it without thinking. Somewhat worrying that the logitech guys have put a label on the battery compartment stating that the battery should be 180mah, they have clearly missed a zero as the supplied battery is 2000mah. The software and led indicators tell you that the mouse is fully charged after about two hours and this is clearly wrong. Having used rechargeables for years I ignored these indications and found that they were indeed wrong.
A quick google search will come up with numerous links from people complaining about the battery life for the performance mx and I think that Logitech should address this issue urgently because it really is the dog's bollocks of a mouse and presumably their desktop flagship. All they need to do is tell users what I have above ie charge overnight on it's dedicated charger. Many laptop usb's supply inadequate current for the charge process to work and could potentially damage the battery.
So come on Logitech, you have supplied a brilliant product but your support and after-sales service are lacking and losing you business.
Using NiCd rechargeables in this day and age and for this type of product is frankly prehistoric, why not use LiPo's with less weight and have no memory effect (the problem with the stock battery and charge indication levels). At the very least supply people with battery problems with a LiPo, problem solved.

Clickers Wear Out In Less Than 5 Months

Date:February 5, 2013
It should be a great mouse. The only concern is the clickers and I don't have a single idea where I could get this thing fixed. I tried to be as gentle as I can be with the clickers, but still - bam! The Wireless Illuminated keyboard rocks though.

Awesome mouse, terrible battery life.

Date:January 25, 2013
This is the most comfortable, sleekest looking and impressive mouse I've ever owned. I love the customizable buttons, and hyper scroll feature. It contours your hand perfectly and is very comfortable. It's one issue is battery life. you'll find yourself charging it ever 20 days for at least 2 hours. Most mousses can go half a lifetime on one charge. Once again, this is a very good mouse and you should consider getting it, but be aware of a short battery life.
