 Best mouse!!!, 2005-12-11
This is one sleek mouse. My MX510 has been in service for a year now, and still performing flawlessly. I've upgraded to the MX518, but the button became so stiff that I had to revert back to my reliable MX510, which I'm still using as of now. If you play lots of FPS, then you'll see some significant increase in your performance, and more importantly, your score. It's excellent for those precision killing, smooth reaction, and lag-free movements. The curvy shape, not only makes this mouse more attractive, but fits to the contours of your hand which gives you comfort for those long hours of gaming. Five additional programmable buttons allow quick access for surfing the net, or switching between weapons. It is a must have if you still own those obsolete ball-mouse. Otherwise if you play games, then this is a great value.

 Nice features, minor ergonomic issues, 2005-11-04
I purchased this mouse in blue to match my Saitek Eclipse keyboard, and I received much more than I expected.
First off, if you have always used a mechanical (ball) mouse, it's time to make the switch to optical. You don't need a mouse pad, it feels smoother, and there are no wheels/gears inside to clog up with grime.
Specific to this optical mouse:
--It has five semi-customizable buttons in addition to the normal buttons. I say "semi" customizable because you can set them only to a couple dozen pre-determined functions, including back, forward, cut, copy, paste, close, double-click, explore computer, find, help, maximize, minimize, minimize all, quick switch (from one application to another), run, start, and undo. You can also set a button to "keystroke," meaning ONE key, or control/alt/shift plus one key.
--Out of the box, the two buttons just above where you sit your thumb are set to browser back and forward, which I find to be quite handy. The "forward" button it a bit of a reach, but I don't use forward that often. I have on occassion accidentally hit the "back" button with my thumb, but that is becoming less and less frequent as I get used to the mouse. Two buttons above and below the scroll wheel are set to quick scroll up and down, which I find to be useless since it's no different than using the scroll wheel quickly. I have turned these off for now, because the top button is difficult to reach, and I am often hitting the bottom button by accident when trying to use the scroll wheel (it is VERY close). A button farther below the scroll wheel is set to "quick switch" between programs, which has the same effect as pressing Alt+Tab. I've changed this to "keystroke," and use it for gaming. (I should also mention that the claim that you can switch views "at the touch of a button" is deceptive. When you press the quick switch button, a menu appears with your applications. You must then click on the application to open.)
--There are indentations on the sides of the mouse for your thumb and pinky. The indentation for the pinky drove me insane for about a week, because apparently I do not hold a mouse the way that the designers do. I grip the sides of a mouse with my thumb and ring finger, which makes your ring finger run across the indentation quite uncomfortably. I have had to adjust my grip on the mouse somewhat, but I believe I am now used to it. I would recommend trying the mouse out in a store to see how it fits your hand before purchasing it online.
--The response of the pointer to your mouse movements is quick and precise.
--Stylistically, the mouse looks good and has a nice weight to it.
--The cord is standard length, but it is USB so it is easy to extend via a hub.
Overall, this is a great mouse, especially considering the price. I would try one out in a store if you can find one, but remember that you will probably adjust to anything that feels odd at first.
Nice mouse, 2005-10-26
This mouse has everything you could want, some of the things that make it different from others ive used, it is very stable in game IE. if your aimin at head level itll stay at head level and not be kinda wobbly as my other mice have, if you play games such as counter-strike or BF2 you know how much headshots can make a difference, the dark blue/black looks good together and you cant see the red optical light at all when mouse is on your mousepad, i would recommend getting a fairly large mousepad though as this mouse is larger than what ive used but still lighter it has given me a few problems on my small mousepad, if your thinkin about getting a different mouse don't, once you get use to the feel of this mouse you'll love it.

Excellent Mouse!, 2005-10-20
This mouse is fantastic. First off, the design is superb, it seriously looks like a work of art, alright, maybe thats stretching it a bit but it does look really good. The hologram makes it have a 3D appearance and it is simply stunning, and also, each mouse has a different design!
The mouse fits my hand perfectly, I notice that I have absolutely no pain or fatigue from holding my hand in an uncomforatable position as I sometimes did with other mice.
I'm using a mac and I highly reccommend using software called USB overdrive with the mouse. It enables you to customize all of the 8 buttons, you can even have them automatically change based on the application you are using. For example, with my web browser, I use the thumb buttons to go forward and back, and in World of Warcraft I have them select different actions from my action bar, and this automatically adjusts!
Also, the price is amazing, $29 is more than a bargain for this amazing piece of hardware. Logitech has won me over.
 Nice Ergo ... but absolutely not durable for gaming!, 2005-10-19
I might as well direct you to the reviewer below regarding durability ... I, too, traded out four times before leaving Logitech and moving on to another brand. Microswitch buttons (left and right) will fail after a couple months of gaming use. The ergonomics are outstanding, but a gamer needs durability too!
