Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Optical USB Mouse
Customer Review: Be Careful when installing
Summary: 3 Stars
If you sign on to windows using a password, DO NOT install the mouse per the instructions supplied with the computer. Why, because it will not recognize your mouse at the point it asks you to input your password.
Instead, with your system running, unplug your current mouse from the USB port and plug in the new logitech mouse. It should recognize it right away. I assume it loads the standard MS optical mouse driver, which works fine.
If you go to the website to download their driver, it isn't obvious which mouse is the right one. But after finding it, it also isn't obvious which software driver is the right one and there isn't any help to guide you. So, whatever driver it recognized when I plugged it in, works fine. Therefore, I abandoned the effort.
Summary.
Mouse works fine.
System software that recognized the mouse on plug-in seems to work fine.
Logitech software, I have no idea if it works as I have no idea on what to download.
Therefore, I rate it a 3 since the website for logitech is severely lacking as well as the instructions that came with the mouse.
Cheers
Customer Review: Great price, excellent product, very satisfied customer.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had an old, roller ball, basic microsoft mouse, which did not even had a wheel, that needed a replacement and I decided to try this optical logitech one. I made the right choice. This logitech mouse is very precise, comfortable and fit nicely on my hands. This is not a laptop, mini mouse. If you are a gamer and need more buttons, certainly this is not the mouse for you. But if you need a mouse with 2 buttons, a wheel and optical, this is your mouse. Moreover, the mouse comes with a USB cord AND a PS/2 adapter, so you can use USB or PS/2. The technical description on Amazon does not mention that. My old mouse was on PS/2 and I had accepted to forgo one of my USB ports for the new mouse, but it was a wonderful surprise to open the box and see the PS/2 adapter. The mouse worked on Windows 2000 without any software, but if you want, it comes with the web address to download it from logitech. Also, the price appeared to be much cheaper than any competitor's mouse. Summary: great price, excellent product, very satisfied customer.Customer Review: too light
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall, this is a basic mouse that will serve your needs. Sensitivity is great, installation couldn't be easier on Vista (just plug in), scroll wheel works well, includes adapter for PS/2, all at a good budget price.
My only gripe is this mouse feels way too light, and that's not a compliment. Now, I'm not a strong person by any means. I usually don't like wireless mice because I feel that 2AAs make it too heavy. I like my mice light and responsive, but this model is just ridiculous. I think the mouse is light because it uses the cheapest materials. The mouse has a "hollow" feel to it, if you get what I mean. Compared to other mice in the same class (such as the Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000, which I highly recommend), this one stands out as the budget mouse.
If you're on a budget, I recommend this mouse b/c all advertised functions does work well. But there are better mice out there, even for this basic class.
Customer Review: A great, reliable mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse is not very fancy, but for what I was willing to pay and for what I was looking for, it is perfect. I wanted to switch from a much fancier, more expensive mouse made by a very popular company and this mouse was a refreshing change. It doesn't have any annoying side-buttons that I accidentally press. The scrolling is smooth and I like that it includes the 360 scroller when you press the scroller. The 360 scroller is not as smooth when scrolling side to side, e.g.- on a spreadsheet, but most mouses are like that so it's fine with me. It's a great size for small to medium hands. With my other fancy, white, espensive mouse I was afraid to rest my hand on it because I would accidentally click something, but not with this mouse. I chose the wired mouse for better reliability after having had bad experiences with wireless mice. This mouse is simple yet reliable and it's cheap. You can't go wrong.Customer Review: Amazing mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so happy that I had finally found a mouse that wasn't a lot of money, and was worth more than what I spent to get it. The package came right on time, and it was nicely sealed. It was a little hard to open but that makes up for it not getting damaged in the delivery. It worked as soon as I opened it, and is very responsive on many different surfaces, even my bedroom carpet. It has smooth feel, and fits my slightly large hands perfectly. It doesn't feel at all like it's a piece of plastic, and the scroll well isn't too tough to move that it would be annoying to scroll, nor too easy so that you would scroll too quickly. The only thing I don't like about this mouse is that if it is on a surface that changes level at all (a painted table for example) it is a little hard to control, but usually is perfectly fine. I'm very happy I bought this mouse!
