3.0 out of 5 stars Love it or hate it; not much middle ground, December 3, 2004

By	Sean Henning "kagerousan" (Denver, CO, USA) - See all my reviews

The ergonomics on this mouse are either wonderful or terrible, depending upon how you hold it.

Wonderful: If you rest your hand on it with thumb and pinky finger resting in the side grooves, it feels fine. If your hand is the right size, this mouse becomes a semi-luxurious hand cradle.

Terrible: If you hold the mouse in pretty much any manner other than that described above, it's terrible. A sharp edge running down each side of the mouse catches at your joints in a manner that is at first just vaguely irritating, and eventually (after hours of use) distracting and uncomfortable.

Test drive this mouse on the display shelf at your local CompUSA/Best Buy/Office Depot/Whatever. Close your eyes and rest your hand on the mouse. If your hand instinctively molds to its surface, don't waste time looking at other mice. You've found your mouse, and you won't be disappointed.

If your hand does not immediately accept the position suggested by this mouse's design, move on and don't look back; you'll never get used to it.

Unfortunately for me, I fell into the latter category. After about 10 hours of continuous use at work, mine went back to the store. It's a shame, as this was otherwise a quality mouse.

5.0 out of 5 stars A quality product that delivers, November 25, 2004

By	Serious Shopper (Portland, ME USA) - See all my reviews

Just like one of the previous reviewers, I had a MS IntelliMouse and didn't think I could ever find another that I liked as much, in spite of it's occasional nasty little habit of flipping out on me, which meant I had to reboot, and then it would be fine. Looking back, I don't know how I put up with it for so long. One of the reason I love this mouse so much is because I have a small hand (size 5 glove if that helps you) and it fits perfectly in my hand. Very comfortable to use and I'm at it for ten, twelve hours a day. The back and forward button placement is superior to the MS mouse and much more solid and responsive. I use the scrolling wheel constantly for my particular work. The quick switch program selector button is incredible and suits my work to a tee, as I usually manage to have at least ten windows at a time open. You just click the button and up pops a menu of every window you have open, and it's in nice big print. With my old mouse, I had to keep "reigning it in" but not with this one. Very little movement required to zero the cursor in on whatever. This is an overall excellent product and I'm now sold on this brand. I would say Logitech = quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars smooth moving, September 3, 2003

By	Jadecat (Lake Orion, MI United States) - See all my reviews

I am no computer whiz and have just replaced an 8 year old computer with a new, modern one. That meant getting rid of the old keyboard and mouse. I wanted to start fresh. Before, I had an old style, rolling ball mouse. I thought it worked okay at the time, but after I bought this one (it's optical, and not a rolling ball one), I was surprised by how much more stable this mouse kept the arrow key on the screen. The scroll down wheel on the top of the mouse is a wonderful extra. Instead of having to click and stay on that darn bar on the right side of the screen when you want to move a page up or down, you just roll the wheel on the mouse with your finger and it does it for you. I will never get a mouse that doesn't have that feature again. This one also has a neat feature of having two little buttons on the sides that act as your back button and your forward button. So when you want to go back to the page you were just at, you can click it with your finger instead of dragging the mouse to the back button on your screen. Super convenient and handy. There are mouses twice the price of this, but I can't imagine them being any more nicer to use. Plus I got mine on sale, so I am very satisfied with it.
