Thanks to Computer Geeks for the product sample.
When shopping for peripherals, Logitech is a name hard that's hard to pass up. After looking at their MX310 and MX510 mice, I was very excited to give their flagship creation a try: the MX1000, or how the laser mouse was born. Logitech has always been a company heavily focused on ergonomics and comfort and the MX1000 aims to combine all the best features from every preceding mouse.
It comes in a very reflective retail package shown above. One would expect nothing short of a stellar presentation from a mouse that costs $80 (at Logitech's website), especially since generic optical mice can be had for under $5.
The package contains the mouse, receiver/charger (which is USB2.0 but also has a PS/2 adapter), an AC adapter necessary to use the charging feature of the receiver, and a packet with drivers, a manual, product catalog, etc.
Logitech did a fine job with the receiver; it looks about as classy as can be. When the mouse isn't on it, the back is translucent black acrylic with their logo. The silver button on the receiver is used for resetting the frequency if for some reason the mouse stops working properly. You don't need the AC adapter for the RF signal transmission, but you do need it to charge the mouse. A bit lower in the charger is a pair of gold contacts (not shown) which charge the mouse. As you can see, the MX1000 sits snug within the charger. If it's plugged into an outlet, charging begins automatically. In terms of transmission, the reception range is approximately 10 feet, so you can sit pretty far from your computer and still control it.
The top of the mouse contains the wheel and the famous cruise control buttons. For anyone out of the loop, when you scroll through a long file, rather than having to move the wheel several times you just scroll once in the direction of your choice and then let your finger slide onto one of the cruise buttons. Scrolling will then continue until you let go. What's even better is the all-new tilt wheel. As the name suggests, you can tilt the wheel either left or right with your finger to allow for side scrolling (if it's there).
