I purchased the Logitech Rx1000 about 9 months ago as a gaming and working mouse, and I've got to say, it's performed perfectly thus far.

For gaming, it's wired and it's USB, both pluses for the required instant response time. It has a very high DPI for perfect accuracy and it moves easily without being too light.

For productivity and windows usage, the clicking has a perfect feel, the buttons are in finger-predictable spots, the scroll wheel almost never gets stuck in that in-between spot where just tapping it will force a web page to scroll up & down (If it does get stuck, hold the wheel down hard and scroll up and down a few times, it will fix itself). Sideways scrolling via the scroll wheel is easy, and the scroll-wheel-click is firm but not difficult.

This is the first non-trackball mouse I've owned that doesn't omit that terrible eye-blinding laser you have to watch your kids around. I didn't know that when I purchased it, but now I think I'll never go back. It works so well! It tracks really well on nearly every surface, so I've completely ditched the mouse pad, which I've wanted to do for years. This mouse never "floats" like every one of the older laser mice I've used -- you know, where you put the mouse down on one spot in your desk, and it just mysteriously walks around by itself. That problem is solved here, as well as cleanliness problems had by many other mice, where they have a ridge around the sides that somehow collect any and every piece of dirt from your hands and saves it so that you can never truly clean it. This mouse is almost completely seamless on all sides. On the cleanliness note, I do scrape the mouse-crud from the gliders on the bottom every few months, but they're flat and the gunk scrapes off easily.

One, very small possible downside, is it feels a little different than some mice - it's a different shape - narrower. I have a medium-sized hand, and it feels fine, but I could see someone with much larger hands having trouble. Actually, I think it helps save me from repetitive stress, forcing me to handle it a little differently than my hand is used to, so I would call it a plus for me.

Also - I would NOT recommend installing the Logitech software. The drivers are useless if you have XP, Vista or better (and works fine in Linux), and not installing the drivers disables the completely useless "search button". The button itself is low-profile, but accidentally hitting it a few times will give you a new lesson in anger management.

Overall, I've loved owning the Rx1000 Logitech mouse, and would recommend to everyone I know.

The RX1000 Laser has performs very well to my standards. The sensitivity of the laser vs. an optical tracking device is pretty evident and can be adjusted very precisely using the available software which can be downloaded from [....]. I am a student majoring in architecture so I use this mouse alot for graphic design, layouts, 3D modeling, and general use; the side scroll works great when a program recognizes it; often times though, the programs don't.

The additional search button allows you to highlight anyword in any application and automatically search for that word on the internet using your internet browser's set search engine (makes googling that much better). However, it can be customized to a variety of functions. You can also set the scroll button function, however, this often takes precedence over any function it may have in a specific program.

Also, this mouse is very light, making it great to carry around with your laptop - no need to carry around one of those itty-bitty mice that dont really fit that well in your hand. For the price, I don't think you can find a better mouse.

Logitech truly are masters of mouse design. I have bought several of this RX1000 model because it's such a great value and works for both lefties and righties. (I personally mouse with both hands, in order to avoid tendinitis in my right arm.) The accuracy of the tracking is excellent. The weight is just enough to feel sturdy and significant, but not so much that it's work to move it about, or pick up. It also survives being dropped. A few of them around here have hit the floor and come right back for more. The mouse works great on Mac OSX without any driver installation needed (if you prefer to avoid additional drivers in your computer).
