I have the Logitech Performance MX and I love it. I have large hands and I really appreciate the ergonimics and heavy weight of this mouse. Plus, it's wireless, it's laser (can work on most surfaces, even glass), can be charged with a standard USB cable, has a free-spinning scroll wheel (with a clutch to switch back to notch scrolling), and has some extra useful buttons.
Highly recommend. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mi…
- makes the MM feel like a toy, but I do like the touch commands on the MM... oh wellmonospaced
- heavy weight helps with precision movement, really helpful in design workmonospaced
- yeah im kind of the opposite.. i always found the heavier mice were harder to design with as you needed more inertia to move themautoflavour
- move them.. kind of why i like the MS mouse.. they are light as a feather
autoflavour - the weight keeps it stable so it doesn't move with a breath... but the Logitech is SLICK so it doesn't require "inertia" like you'd thinkmonospaced
- like you might imagine.monospaced

personally, its too heavy and too low profile for me..
i used it for about 2 weeks and then chucked it in my drawer..
i know this is weird, but i have been addicted to these microsoft mice forever..they are just so comfortable .. i dont know what to say.. i keep thinking i need a new mouse, and everytime i go looking, i never find anything that feels right.
i have about 3 of them, just incase 1 breaks.
- its pretty much the only microsoft product i ownautoflavour
- sucks that your scroller only runs vertical.omg
- yeah, i does annoy me occasionally..
autoflavour - I have the same one in black.section_014
- models of this have side to side scroll as well, I had one in black but gave it awayalbums

I have a Toshiba X20 at home and I would buy another til the foreseable future, they were discontinued though so they are more difficult to find. Perfect for games too. Fuckin extra sensitive with a very good weight / feel (sensitivity level buttons directly on the hardware + profiles if you're on Windows, which I'm not so I don't know how that works.

it's perfect for surfing the web, but SUCKS in illustrator.

I've had the same problem in InDesign *without* the Magic Mouse. So maybe it isn't the mouse.

If the cursor is shooting around, you might just need to put a piece of paper underneath it. I think the laser diode thing in the bottom works via reference. So, if you are on a remotely shiny surface the mouse doesn't know how to reference the motion.......I think

common people can we all agree that the mm is a heavy piece of shyte,
you can love it, you can even think it's usefulbut it's still a piece of shyte mouse.
Why? you ask methe mouse is at best suffering from touch Parkinson,
you can surf the web with it and enjoy the ridiculous gestures,
but as soon as you open any creative products (Adobe, discreet, even fuckn ms xcell) the side swipe becomes a pain, the stupid gestures aren't that usefull
and
if you have to turn off some function on your mouse to make it work with your creative suite,
it's time for you to get a real mouse- not arguing with you but what is a "real" mouse. give me an example as i'm about to buy a MM myself...prophetone
- this will work well without
you having to buy batts

simply clean-off the Lubriderm lotion with a dry tissue.

I love mine. Been using it since day 1. Maybe you have parkinsons.

anything else is a step back. learn proper finger control and you will love it.

love that mouse
wacoms are shit

it is what it is... an experimental touch input mouse

I really like mine as well. Using MagicPrefs really increases the custom settings you can use for taps, clicks, swipes and other functionality.

I love the touch features, and customization capabilities of this mouse, but it is very buggy. Continuously losing connection and it will also get into seizure mode where the pointer shoots quickly to a random edge of the screen. And always have problems with the double-blinking green light not going away. I turn it off and on and it doesn't reconnect. The only thing that helps is restarting the computer.
- take out the batteries and put them back in. easy fix.doesnotexist
- Hahahaha! Do you think I haven't tried this?? I can't count how many times I've taken out the batteries.CanHasQBN
- I'm still laughing at your suggestion.CanHasQBN
- I don't have these problems. Nor does anyone I know. Maybe yours is just a faulty unit?nb
- I've googled these problems. All of them are known.CanHasQBN
- Perhaps there are lots of faulty units? Like I said, everyone I know doesn't have the problem.nb
- maybe you're an asshole?doesnotexist
- I have these exact problems but taking the batteries out usually fixes it.fadein11
- Everyone in my office has one, everyone has this issue. I've found that...Daithi
- ...changing the settings so that it’s very sensitive helps, because you don't need to move or lift itDaithi
- ...which in a way is madness, but you get used to it very quicklyDaithi
