5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal if you're right handed, December 24, 2006

Assuming you're right-handed, MX400 is a very comfortable mouse - but you have to give it one to two days to really fit in with your hand and to find your optimum holding pattern. The overall build quality, scrolling, glide, placement of back/forward buttons, cable, clicking, amazing tracking...everything's absolutely great about this mouse, including the 5-year warranty. Over several months of constant use, the scroll wheel misbehaved only once, and just a puff of compressed air corrected the problem.

As the laser optics used in this mouse is invisible to human eye, it makes a nice touch to your desktop or laptop setup,like a natural extension of the setup.

The optical engine is 1100 dpi, it is laser (a lot less picky about the tracking surface), has tilt wheel, and the buttons require just the right amount of clicking to activate and they have nice tactile feedback. Like all Logitech mice, it suffers from the SetPoint drivers' bloat, but if you're willing to let go of the tilt wheel, you don't need to install anything at all, just plug in the mouse and in Windows XP, all those back/forward buttons are automatically recognized. If you're short on USB ports, there's a PS/2 adapter so you can use your computer's mouse port (that green port that has been sitting empty until now).

One interesting information about this mouse: its wireless big brother, MX610, has a symmetrical version for southpaws. Beware though, MX610 series suffers from hit-or-miss tracking problems. For that reason, you might be able to find ridiculous deals at your local Staples/BestBuy/Fry's for a MX610, but the southpaw version is very hard to find in a brick&mortar store.

My friends call me a mouse freak...and I've tried nearly 75% of the MS and Logitech offerings. I can tell you that this MX400 is my day-to-day mouse, and it seems it will stay that way for a long time. Hope you'll like it as much as I do.

This is probably one of the only mice that have actually got the thumb button placing right. taken it may be a bit back for big hands like mine. But curving your thumb to click ... that's a no-effort compared to stretching your thumb forward like other mice expect you to. No problems with hibernating and suspending with my machine. All functions stable as a rock and absolutely love the software. It is so easy to reconfigure this mouse according to the task at hand. A true time-saver. My son also uses it for excellent gaming. Also, get the updated software from the logitech site. I have had no problems with this device at all except my hands are a little big and this one is about the same size as the normal Microsoft mouse and not as big as the pictures may make you think. Also, the middle button is a little too hard for my taste ... hey, no problem ... I just use the feather-lite right-tilt as the middle-click ! Awesome !

I have a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo, running OS 10.4.10. I downloaded the latest MX 400 driver software from the Logitech site and installed it. It looks simple to set up, but once you do you will find that weird errors start to pop up randomly (error -9870 for example) and some functions just don't work at all. Using the forward side button to page forward on a web site, for example--the most common use of that button--simply didn't work. The back button worked, but not the forward. Huh??

Software complaints aside, the mouse itself is excellent--good feel, good size, etc. But Mac users: keep looking.
