 Non-replaceable battery kills this mouseNov 13, 2009
This mouse is very good as far as connecting to the receiver and being reliable. I own the Bluetooth one, which I believe is only available in a set with the Revo keyboard.It has a couple of problems though. One of the buttons is set up to do an automatic search when you highlight a word and click it. Unbelievably you cannot choose which internet search facility you want it to use. It comes with a selection of four, and you can't add one for it to use, for example Microsoft's bing.I know they are competitors, but there is no reason for a restriction like this.The document flip thumb button on the left side is awkward to use. You have to readjust your grip and really think about using it, when I use it. I realize that this will be different for everyone, but it seems like this mouse is designed for a person with very large hands. (Not that there is anything wrong with that...) I can live with all of the things I have mentioned. The one thing I can't live with though is the non-replaceable battery. There is no reason for designing something like this except that they want it to eventually become unusable so that they can sell you another.I never really thought about this before I purchased this mouse, but now that I have, I would never buy another mouse with this restriction. It is a waste of resources, especially my money!I have a MS mouse with replaceable batteries that is working great after over 6 years of service. I couldn't use this mouse with Win7 because I couldn't get a newer driver for it, but it still works fine. Logitech, make your products more environmentally friendly and I will stick with you otherwise you are history. I will never again buy a product with non replaceable batteries or recommend one. Fool me once....

 Great Product for SpreadsheetsNov 11, 2009
I spend a considerable amount of time working with spreadsheets. This mouse is fabulous. The scrolling has two speeds, one for when you are scrolling up or down slower and require more precision, and one for when you are scrolling fast to cover a lot of ground. The mouse auto-detects which you are doing. It's pretty cool.
It also does sideways scrolling by pressing the scroll wheel to the left or right, which is amazing for spreadsheets.
Also, it has a number of buttons you can program to do all sort of things, like copy/paste/open a program.
Using it in combination with Quicksilver (a free program for Macs), you can program the mouse's buttons do anything.

Solid Mouse but hard to charge and non-replacable battery means thumbs downNov 10, 2009
I have been a fan of Logitech mice since the mid-80's. My first three-button mouse was a Logitech in a bulky square "ergonomic" mouse.
I went "premium" with this mouse 2 years ago. For the most part this has been a solid and reliable mouse, and I don't necessarily regret purchasing it.
However, for the money, the charging station and non-rechargeable batteries is a killer.
The recharging station is very delicate. It takes numerous attempts to seat it in the station so that a good enough connection is made to charge it. I end up cleaning all the contacts and still it takes quite a bit of effort to charge the mouse. I've stopped trying to charge it while the computer is in "sleep" mode, because the repeated attempts to seat the mouse will wake the PC up. It is not uncommon for me to work for a couple minutes until I get a "green" charging light. (Yeah, I wish it were all me, but the cradle is a pain.) This occurred on the first day I charged it, and continues through today.
Once charged, the mouse will hold the charge for a long time, even after 2 years of constant use.
But, now that the battery has some age on it, I know I will soon need to replace said battery. This is a design flaw of the unit. Yes, I'm sure someone will say it is necessary, but I disagree. A $100+ mouse should not have to be tossed because the $10 battery needs replacing. We should not have to toss good equipment and good money because the vendor can't work it into the design. I'd rather take that $100 and buy a new game or get a memory upgrade. Non-replaceable batteries are irresponsible on any device, especially on a high-end mouse!
So, I rate all the features of this mouse high, except for charging and the battery issue. Therefore, I cannot recommend this mouse to anyone despite the "coolness" of a very expensive mouse.

would be a great mouseNov 08, 2009
I love this mouse, it has so much customization you can do with it and it is very comfortable. The battery easily lasts me a month, but i turn it off when im not using it. The only reason I did not give this mouse a complete 5 star rating is that it will jump around on occasion.

 Costs a 100 $ yet requires USB port plug inNov 04, 2009
I am giving it 1 star only. That may be too harsh, but I was specifically looking for a mouse that connects directly to my pc without the need of a USB port plug in. There is nothing on the package that suggests that you would need to use a USB receiver, which is typically the case for the lower end mouses.
I fail to understand the logic of this. It's probably an old design, that's why....
