Summary: 5 Stars
What a god send for my Macintosh. I can't tell you how much frustration you'll realize you've been dealing with, once you plug in this mouse to a mac.
I had to go to the Logitech site to get the programmable buttons configuration utility, for Mac 0X 10... but now that I have it, I have everything I need, with nothing extra to get in the way.
For the dashboard I just push the scroll wheel down, and then I assigned the two little buttons on top the wheel, for back and forward for web surfing.
I had to turn down the speed at which it moves, (the rate of movement ratio from desk distance to screen distanced), it was just set out of the box to out maneuver a hungry eagle's tracking ability.
I wish I had another logitech mouse to compare it to, but all I can offer for comparison is that junky wired Imac mouse. with the clean daily scroll wheel and the vice grip needed dashboard side buttons. Compared to that piece of junk, this thing is a Ferrari. Now I need two more rechargeable double A's for when my emergency batteries wear out.
To think that I got this mouse for like 15 bucks and shipping may be the best money I've spent this year. Even at retail price, it would still be worth double that to me.

I recently purchased the Logitech LX 7 wireless optical mouse. This mouse replaced a Logitech MX 610 Loser Wireless mouse.(No, that's not a misspelling) My old MX 610 (the second one I owned) was replaced by logitech after 9 months use, and the second one fared little better. Cursor has a nasty little habit of jumping all over the place with that mouse. I had previusly owned a corded optical mouse from Logitech and loved it, but when laser appeared, I had to have one. I love the wireless feature and now that I have sensibly returned to Optical, I'm a happy man once again. This mouse is a tad bit smaller than the MX 610, but I've adjusted. It's funny, reading these reviews, how something so small and seemingly insignificant such as the size of a mouse can physically impact ones life to the degree it does. I go for functionality, and this LX7 has it. Forward and back buttons, ability to cruise up and down, and the other available programmable functions make this LX7 one for the ages and a definite referral.
Update: 2 Months Later. Still using the original set of batteries, amazing. And I'm a daily user. The old MX610 went through three sets of batteries a month. I'm lovin' this Mouse
Customer Review: excellent mouse, precise and comfortable
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion, the key features of a mouse are precision, ease of use, and comfort. This mouse satisfies all three of these criteria as well as I could possibly expect.
Beyond this, the feature set is quite complete enough for most users (I'm not a gamer, so can't comment on that kind of usage). You ought to use the Logitech SetPoint software (download from logitech.com) to be able to use all the features and customize the mouse to your liking.
I am using this with Vista, having acquired it to replace a dead rollerball mouse. Since I already had SetPoint installed, all I had to do was to plug it in, and it picked up all my previous settings without trouble and began to work well.
I also like the power-saving feature (automatically goes to standby), and the power switch (useful if you're packing the mouse for travel, or if you're going away for a few days without the mouse).
I myself wouldn't use this mouse for travelling; for that I prefer a smaller Logitech mouse which allows the usb key to be inserted into the mouse. (See the V450 for example.)
Check the Logitech website for driver support for other operating systems.
Customer Review: A vast improvement over previous models

I have used other Logitech and Microsoft wireless mice for years. In general, I have found Microsoft wireless mice to have better tracking on a variety of surfaces, but Logitech seems to have a better wireless range. In the case of this mouse, it does track pretty well on just about anything. The receiver is very tiny and doesn't take up any desk space, which is ideal. Microsoft's, by contrast, is as big as a cup coaster. The reception on this Logitech mouse is excellent and works up to six feet away (I haven't tried it any further than that). The precision is good, though I don't feel it's as good as a medium-quality wired mouse. You can customize the buttons to do a variety of things - even a set of keystrokes. I was hoping there would be a simple option for making the 'back' and 'forward' buttons on the mouse work the playlist in Windows Media Player, but no such luck. The mouse has a nice weight to it, but I feel it is a little too small for even my medium-sized hands. However, it's slenderness means it doesn't require much desk space and that's always a bonus. All in all, it's a good mouse for a good price, and it looks sexy too. :)Customer Review: the BEST mouse

I just purchased this mouse over the weekend at another retailer but should've gone through Amazon as it was cheaper... Anyway, I am MOST impressed by this mouse. It is very accurate, so much so I began to see what other surfaces I could move it on and still accurately move around on screen: my chest w/ sweater, my pant leg, and my other desk chair didn't hinder the mouse in any way! I would highly recommend this mouse for laptop users who travel and won't necessarily have a desktop to work on. The LX7 is also very comfortable to hold - I have smaller hands and the weight is solid but not too heavy once you put in the two AA batteries (supplied). The tapered shape and height of the back of the mouse support the hand well. The scroll wheel is responsive and I like the side to side zoom feature too. It is not a super loud clicker/grinder type like the microsoft mice.
Tracking is very good - photoshop/Illustrator and CAD users take note. Extra second function buttons on top of the mouse can be programmed for quick launch settings.
Finish is very good - this is a top-quality product. Logitech does it right!
