I want one, I must order one :twisted:

Looks nice. I'd get one, but I bought a wireless Logitech mouse a few months ago and used it for about 2 weeks before going out and getting a wired version of the same mouse (mx500). The wireless one if collecting dust somewhere!

They are good, but there is a very slight latency with them. You cant see the delay, but its there and you can sense it, especially when playing games. And its off putting, something feels wrong about it.

This laser one seems to be a lot better according to that review, but I'll let someone else buy one and try it first. I'm sticking to my wired one!

WOW some mouse,cordless ,and you dont need batteries,4 hrs of just charging it can give you 21 days without a charge,plus it has led lights to tell you when the mouse needs charging 8O .
Have to put that on my chrimbo list :D ,this is a must.

[BuLLiTT]

have to agree with Willo on this,although my schroll is suspect,the actual playability is better than an infra-red one + you dont need to recharge/change batteries.You do get latency with i/r, i had 2 previous to my present wired intellemouse 8O

I use an intellimouse optical at home for games etc.

I did buy a new intellimouse explorer with the side scrolling wheel - but they've changed the vertical scroll so that there's no ratchet or notch to it - just smooth scrolling. This is fine for work, but useless for those games which need the vertical scroll to change weapons etc.

I never use the scroll button in games, its to iffy. I change weapons using the 1,2,3,4,5 buttons, much more accurate!

no no no l did not post it just because it looks good its about the Technology
not Optical as l think some who posted might be thinking

this is the next step in mouse technology Laser

Optical Technology

With traditional optical mice, an LED illuminates the surface. The light reflected back is captured via a system of lenses and then sent to the sensor. This creates a photograph of the surface. If the mouse moves, each photo will be different. Then all the sensor has to do is to analyze the differences to determine the coordinates. When we say "photo," we obviously don't mean a realistic portrait of your desk, but rather snapshots that bring out the irregularities and the structure of its surface. This makes it easier to compare the differences and determine movement.

Laser Optics

Logitech's starting point in further improving precision was to work on the light source, since the sensor was already perfected. A more intense, precisely targeted light source would make it possible to get better pictures of the surface. As in photography, you can have the best imager in the world, but if the light isn't good, the final picture won't turn out well either. So the Logitech engineers decided to see what happened when a more precise light source which the laser offers, was used instead of an LED.

The laser projects a contained beam that is always identical and can be reflected without alteration. That, incidentally, is why lasers are used in CD players, for example. The laser and the sensor can be positioned at an ideal angle of 90 degrees. The sensor receives an image that's much more detailed and has higher contrast. It can perceive differences in the structure of the surface that don't show up with LED technology. According to Logitech, beyond the mouse's improved precision, it will work on any surface, even the most uniform, except for glass and mirrors. You have to admit that theoretically the demonstration seems to make sense.
