I have had this mouse for a few months now. I do indeed think that it is a good mouse. It has a pleasing visual appeal and performs great for the money. The scroll wheel is silky smooth and has a nice positive rotational click. It is not not sticky and rough like some lesser mice that I have used. The little replacement button for window selection which acts almost like hitting Alt+Tab at the same time is a nice feature. Though if you are like me and have your hands on the keyboard most of the time you may find little use for it, I find that using Alt+Tab is more intuitive and I dont have to find the mouse. With this botton feature you have to move the mouse or scroll to the window that you choose to view, nice if your left hand is not near the keyboard. All this neat stuff and yes there are still some things that are left to be desired. A drawback for those of us that travel or use multiple laptops is that it is quite large, which is also why it is so comfortable, give a little take a little. Also the software must be installed on each computer you will use with the mouse for the little window button feature to work properly. I am not sure why but the mouse cursor will suddenly jump to some unknown corner of the screen for a moment then reappear. This can be extremely frustrating at times, not sure if that is from the mouse pad or the eye having a lint speck on it, but it happens fairly often and on multiple mouse pads I have tried. Thus the lower score. Possibly a dual optical mouse would take care of the random necessity this thing has for jumping around (done that about 4+ times since I began writing). Cheers.

As an unspectacular, functional foray into the world of optical mousing, this is a well-priced mouse with a good shape and feel, as well as a nicely-calibrated scroll facility.
There's little point in installing the bundled software, as any version of Windows from 2000 onwards will pick it up and detect it as an optical scroll-wheel mouse without problems, and allow you to tweak all the necessary settings through the default 'mouse' dialog box in Control Panel.

The 'pointer jumping to random points on the screen' peculiarity is usually a feature of the mousing surface you use. Use too-shiny a mousemat and the optical detector picks up false reflections and can make it think the mouse has moved a significant distance. Keep the alcove clear of dust and use a fabric surface to 'mouse' on and it should be fine.

Overall a good little mouse and one that I enjoy using for high-speed games without complication.

When my department of 80 Mac users switched to OS X and new Macs in '04, I knew I wanted two button mice instead of the regular Apple mouse. After trying several mice, I settled on the Logitech Click! This was a little scary, because if this mouse had problems, we just bought 80 of them. In almost two years I haven't had one fail yet for any reason. And some of our people click the buttons SO HARD. I go out of my way to purchase this mouse when we need more. And I've been purchasing these as needed all along, so I've had different production runs of this. I'm sure any failures anyone has had was a one off. As for comfort, only one person has said she couldn't use it (we bought her a Mighty Mouse, which she likes). This is my first Amazon review, and I took the time because I believe in this product so much.

Well folks, I'm sorry to say I've had a bad experience with this mouse -- which I confess I chose pretty much because my favorite color is green. Granted, my experience could be an isolated fluke, but then again, it might not be, and it might be worth sharing in any case.

I actually did like the design and feel of this mouse, except for a few minor details I'll get to in a little while. All in all, it worked quite nicely for me for about six months.

Then the left (primary) mouse button suddenly went dead. A coworker volunteered to help me troubleshoot, and verified that the problem was indeed the mouse by testing it on another Mac, and on a PC.

Since it was WAY too late to send it back to the online store from which I bought it -- not Amazon -- I had to contact Logitech. This was easier said then done because, their website, like the websites of many other companies, doesn't have any prominent buttons or links labeled, "Click here to send us a message." Instead, you have to wade through an endless series of lists Frequently Asked Questions, with the last item on each list being "If your question still hasn't been answered, click here." (How DID I manage to click when my left (primary) mouse button was dead? I'll get to that.) I did finally get to the form for submitting questions, but I'm still not sure how. I think I banged my fist on the keyboard and accidentally hit the right key combination.

Their response informed me that, although the mouse is still covered by their five-year warranty, they won't fix it. Okay, they'll replace it, but I can't just send it back to them with proof of purchase. First, I have to call their NON-TOLL-FREE customer service number, and we all know that I'll spend hours on hold, listening to ooshy string orchestra arrangements of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin songs, interspersed with promotional announcements for Logitech products. And I'll be paying for it. (Did I tell you they don't have a toll-free number?) Then, if the customer service representative decides it's necessary, I'll have to go through a long troubleshooting session with them on the phone. They'll almost certainly ignore my protests that I've already done my own troubleshooting and I already KNOW it's the mouse. And I'll be paying for it. (Did I tell you they don't have a toll-free number?) After all that, they'll probably still tell me I have to send it back at my expense.

So it looks like I may as well buy a new mouse. Another coworker suggested that as long as I'm going to do that, I might try to disassemble the Logitech mouse and see if I can reconnect the left (primary) mouse button. But it seems I don't even have that option. The casing does seem to be made of several pieces, but as Mr. Scott would say, they're fused. There are no little screws to unscrew. The only way to take it apart appears to be to break it. Don't tempt me.

Fortunately, there's a bright side. In the course of that six months, I became aware that this mouse was not actually the best choice for my situation. bought it to use with my Mac PowerBook, because I'm not crazy about the trackpad (which is how I managed to click, even though the left (primary)mouse button was dead). But it turned out that the large size of the mouse interfered with the purpose of choosing a PowerBook over a new desktop model. Actually, it was my wife's purpose. We go away on vacation for a little over a week every summer, and I always got crabby because I didn't have my computer. Now that I have one we can take with us, I have no legitimate reason to be crabby. (If I think hard, however, I'm sure I can come up with another reason.) The mouse was big enough that it was difficult to fit into the PowerBook's carrying case -- and I'm even wondering if forcing it in there so many times had anything to do with the left (primary) mouse button breaking. Furthermore, the cord is cumbersome, both on vacation and at home. I rejected the idea of a cordless mouse because of a compulsion to stick with the familiar.

But I didn't want to trash a perfectly good mouse. Now that said mouse is no longer perfectly good, I have a legitimate reason to replace it. This time, I am going to go cordless, and I'll get one of those smaller mice, designed for portability.

And this time, I WILL buy it from Amazon. At least if I'd bought this one from Amazon, I'd be out a bit less money.

This mouse only works if you have tiny hands and keep three fingers on the each the left, middle, and right mouse buttons. If you typically grip your mouse between your thumb and ring finger and click with your pointer and middle fingers, you will find this mouse uncomfortable. It also won't support your palm or allow you to hold your wrist at a comfortable angle.

I bought this mouse almost 4 and half years ago with my first laptop for approximately $20. I've always found mice to be more exact and easier to use than touchpads (plus, the way I type makes touchpads an annoyance).

At the time, and for the price, I thought it worked with what I wanted (bought from Wal-Mart), and it's served (and is still serving me) well. Although I've recently purchased a Microsoft Explorer through Amazon (which should hopefully arrive soon), the only reason I was even thinking of purchasing a new mouse was because this mouse is finally dying on me. It has nothing to do with the mouse itself, but rather all the wear has finally caused to cord to be a little lose inside the mouse (so the optical light turns off on occasion).

The mouse fits well in my hands (I rest my entire palm on the mouse rather than use the tips of my fingers like some people do), and my only complaint might be the cord itself (since my desk is cluttered and the cord likes to get in the way).

Overall, I have to say that Logitech did a fantastic job with this mouse after all the wear and abuse its taken over the years (the white Logitech symbol on the mouse has long-since faded). I don't recall ever installing software for the mouse (it came with a CD, though), so I believe I was able to plug and go just fine.

I bought this mouse what seems like forever ago. I am someone who is not kind to computer stuff so i have tossed it in bags, wrapped the cable with twist ties, had it fly off the desk to concrete and it lived a long life anyway. It finally has gave up the ghost with the optical part being broken from 1 to many desk falls. I probably could open it up and fix it but it's time for an upgrade anyway (To a G5). Logitech will be getting my money once again because in my opinion they make some of the most reliable products in the industry that are darn near bomb proof if you get a good product from the factory.

I just bought this mouse without thinking at Wal-Mart, because my old mouse's cord snapped (long story, it was the crappy one that came w/my PC). I wanted one with a laser insteado f a trackball because trackballs just don't seem accurate, and are really jumpy to me. So, I spent $25 for the Logitech Click! Mouse.

First impression, I hate the software. What?!?! Musicmatch? eBay? RealArcade? Huh? Well, anyway, I really don't even think I needed the software, all it has is Windows-based functions you can easily do in the Control Panel. Just skip the software, as it plugged and played anyway.

Second impression, this mouse feels comfortable. On the left and right side, there are places to rest your fingers. Very comfy, although at times they slip on to the mouse pad. Argh!

Right button, left button, scroll button, the basics. But looking at the picture, your probably wondering (What's that square button thinge?) It's a really cool feature, that will allow you to go on any window on your computer. Neat, but there's a quirk I really hate about it (Note: This was mentioned in another review.). While pressing the button, it oddly moves the pointer to a different place on the screen (approx. 2 inches away from it's place). Bull$h!t!

The movement of the mouse is great, well it's an optical mouse. It's 100% accurate.

There's a few major quirks that may want to change your mind, however if you can live past the adware software, the finger slip, and the movement of mouse during the click function, you'll be a fan of this mouse.

I've been using this mouse for just under a year and I'm very happy with the performance. The optical guide works well on just about every smooth surface execpt materials like clear glass or plastics. The scroll wheel is smooth, and the USB allows you to plug and unplug at your convenience, which is great if you're travelling with a laptop through airports and on planes. In addition, the mouse has a nice ergonomic feel to it.

I strongly recommend this mouse for its great performance and ease of use. Buy it!

This mouse slides very nice and is very accurate. Unfortunately, it's the most uncomfortable mouse I've ever used. My right ring finger sits right on the pointy edge. I tried to get used to it, but I will be returning it tomorrow in exchange for something else.
