Title of review Perfect mouse with comfort
What are the strengths? accuracy, comfort, battery life, side buttons, ease of use
What are the weaknesses? the dock/receiver gives convenience to charging battery but is a hassle compared to other mouse with USB receiver. Not a best choice if you move around all the time using your laptop at different places because of the size and wire of the dock, though the mouse itself is wireless.
Summary the best mouse I ever use though is my first laser mouse. There's really nothing to complain though at first its side buttons didn't work with Firefox browser but you can easily get around that by tweaking the setting in the software. Then the mouse works brilliant. Accurate positioning, long battery life and comfortable to hold. Second to none.

Title of review The mouse that performs like a corded if not better !
What are the strengths? Cordless,responsiveness,excellent battery life.
What are the weaknesses? A bit heavy but then a cordless one bound to be because of the batteries. But thats just me being really picky, as the mouse is in my opinion perfect.
Summary I have been in the market for a couple of months for a cordless mouse but have been a little put off by the things I have read on them ie pointer lag (pointer not moving as quick has it should when mouse is moved) and just generally not performing as good as a corded mouse.

Well you can forget all that with the Logitech MX 1000 laser mouse.The movement is as smooth as a corded mouse,although I have to say the mouse I had before this was a Logitech corded mouse and the MX1000 is smoother than that.The MX1000 has fast RF transmission,what this means is there is none of the drawbacks that are associated with cordless mice such as pointer lag.

The mouse has a litium ion rechargeable battery that Logitech says will never need replaced,also the mouse comes with a 3 year warranty which is some warranty.the top of the mouse has the now common left & right buttons (which are part of the casing but a press in the usual place will make them function) a scroll wheel for scrolling up and down long documents and also if you press the scroll wheel to the left or right it will scroll that way which is handy for items that are too big to fit on screen,pressing the scroll wheel down will bring up a magnifying symbol which when used to view a picture will at a turn of the scroll wheel will zoom in or out of the image,but this can be reprogrammed as so can the rest of the button apart from i would say the left & right buttons,but I maybe wrong as I am using the mouse with the buttons as they are when I bought the mouse which I find more than usefull for me.

On the side of the mouse is a button which has an arrow pointing forward and another with one pointing backwards,these are used for going forward or backwards in your internet browser,but some browsers may need to be set to work correctly with them but this can be done with the supplied software,and so can the other buttons.Between these two buttons is another button which allows you to switch between different programs you have running,by pressing this button it opens a little window with the currently running programs in and you just select the one you want.

The battery life is around 21 days between charges depending on usage,the mouse also shuts down after 10 seconds of not being used to maintain battery life, but a movement of the mouse brings it back to life with no lag whatsoever ! I can use my mouse for 4 days and the battery indicator on the mouse will still show 3 segments (which means full capacity).With the mouse you get a base/charger which then plugs into a spare USB port,this works as a base to pick up the signal from the mouse and also a place to charge the mouse.There is also a on off switch on the bottom of the mouse so that it can be switched off for example if you are using a laptop and this mouse, you can store it in your bag without having to worry about it being activated my movement and running the batteries down.

The only negative thing I can say about this mouse is it is a bit heavier than I was used with,with having a corded mouse,but I suppose it is only natural that a cordless mouse is going to be heavy as it will have a battery and all the other radio transmission bits and bobs in it,but having said that it is not that heavy in use and after a few days of owning it, you wont notice the extra weight. The software that comes with the mouse allows you to re program the different buttons and also alter the sensitivity of how responsive the pointer is to move.I should have mentioned earlier, that this is not an optical mouse but instead it is a laser mouse which is 20 times more accurate than a optical mouse,another reason to buy this mouse.

Overall I cannot recomend this mouse enough,it is as fast as a normal corded mouse,its as responsive if not more than a lot of corded mice,this mouse is suitable whatever you do,I must admit I was a bit worried at first because they are some cordless mice that are terrably slow unresponsive etc but the Logitech MX 1000 is most definately not.

Title of review Can it get any better?
What are the strengths? 1 Looks and feels fantastic - very ergonomic and a good weight and size

2 Extremely responsive - laser technology works

3 Adaptable - superb for gaming, surfing, word processing, editing

4 Lots of programmable buttons

5 Efficient recharging system - Cradle and L-ion battery supplied.

6 Power saving - mouse goes dormant after 5 seconds of non-use, but immediately responds as soon as touched (and I mean no delay)
What are the weaknesses? None for me.
Some people may find it too much to pay for a mouse
Only suitable for right-handers
Summary I know its ridiculous getting excited about a mouse but this might do it for you. I don't see how this mouse can be bettered, but I'm sure Logitech will give it a go. It maybe expensive in relative terms but I think it is a worthy investment for any regular mouse user.
