Best mouse yet A keeper It’s a keeper
Reviewer Comments:
‘This is easily the best Logitech mouse yet. I own both the G5 and G9, and settled on the G5 as my primary mouse some time ago after hating the grip of the G9 (neither one felt natural to me). This was a problem, since I felt the G9 performed better but it just wasn’t comfortable. As a result, I’m going to compare the G500 to the G5.
On the ergonomic side the G500 has had the ridge on the up…(Read More)

For my medium-small-sized hands this mouse fits like a glove - the shape and base-weight makes it really comfortable. I tend to mouse with my wrist stationary, using only fingers to move around. This requires a slightly shorter grip around the mouse. Even so, left and right buttons are clickable almost as far back as half the mouse with little …(Read More)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)
I’ve had the G500 mouse for a few days and have decided to make it my main mouse. I’m not a gamer but since I spend so much time using the computer, I want my mouse to be up to the task. I especially like the number of buttons provided by the the mouse. The G500 is the third model of Logitech gaming mouse I’ve used. …(Read More)

Solid Mouse Microsoft finally makes a very competitive mouse. Amazing notebook mouse
Reviewer Comments:
‘I’m a bit of a mouse enthusiast, so when Microsoft released the new Explorer and Explorer Mini mice, I had to try them.
To the point, Microsoft has a very, very solid mouse in the Explorer Mini. By far my most favorite feature is the solid feel and ergonomics of the mouse. I find it to be more accommodating to my right hand than the Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Black), …(Read More)
I have a full drawer of mouses from both Microsoft and Logitech. The closest comparators should be Mobile 8000 by Microsoft and VX Nano by Logitech. Mobile 8000 was very expensive($99, but not anymore) because of its innovative magnetic charging along with 1GM FM. However, these features seems not so favorable and its battery life(2/3 days)is just too short even you can charge and use it simul…(Read More)
I thought I’d never buy another Microsoft mouse and was with Logitech for life. Howevr, I’ve been getting annoyed recently with the tracking on the VX Revolution I have. When it’s on a less than reliable surface, like the arm of a suede couch, it sticks too much for me to coninue using it. I saw something at a tech store about MS’s new Bluetrack tech and since I had an Amazon gift card, decided…(Read More)

Little to complain, much to praise Amazing tool for an artist Touch not perfect, but well worth the money
Reviewer Comments:
‘I bought this tablet because… well, to be honest, I had no reason for buying a tablet. I’m not a professional graphic designer (though if I were, I’m sure I’d invest in at least the Bamboo Fun over this), and I’m more than happy with Logitech mice. I merely had some money burning in my pocket and wanted to have a much more intuitive, fluid experience. I’m happy to say I had such a thing wi…(Read More)

I’m an artist. After I got my Macbook Pro, I decided to get a tablet to go along with it- some of my peers had said good things about tablets and I’d always wanted to try one.
All I can say is WOW.
Where do I start?
Well, my first impression was that this product has the “Apple effect”. The packaging is very nice, everything is easy to find. The…(Read More)

As other reviews indicate, the touch feature on this product isn’t absolutely perfect…regardless, it’s a fantastic compliment to the pen (and isn’t that the real reason someone should buy a Wacom Tablet?). In general the touch feature works just fine, but a few of the gestures are a bit shaky. They work, just not always on the first try. Honestly…(Read More)

Reviewer Comments:
‘I spent quite a bit of time looking at various tablets, reading reviews, and trying to figure out which had the most bang for the buck; the Bamboo Fun won in just about every category. Please note that I am not a professional graphic artist, just a hobbyist (though technically savvy enough to understand the features [eg pressure sensitivity]), so I’m reviewing it from that perspective.

The Bamboo Fun Touch and Pen is a great product. I have not found the need for my mouse since I installed the tablet. The tablet is light and thin and can easily be moved around on your desk. Wireless would be nice in the future. The tablet is easy to use and functions like a large lap top computer touch pad, but with more gestures for navigation. …(Read More)

I love everything about the Bamboo Fun! For my desktop it’s far better than a mouse. I do web development, graphic design, and photography so for my type of work it’s sort of a no-brainer. There’s so much more control with photo and graphics work using a tablet than there ever could be with a mouse.

Do you remember when computers first came out and you had to go through a tutorial to use a mouse? Well, when I set up my pen, I felt like I was back in those days. Everything I’ve spent the last 15 years doing had to be rethought, and I went through the tutorials to learn it all over again.

I’ve always wanted a Wacom but they used to be very expensive. For $69 retail, this is a great tablet that I will enjoy using for a long time. The reviewers who gave it poor reviews were not happy with it because they don’t know what tablets are used for, and were expecting it to be something it’s not. Buy this model and you will be pleased.…(Read More)

I’ve been using the Logitech Revolution mouse ever since it was available.

Excellent mouse, but also consider the VX Nano Another great mouse from Logitech A perfect mouse for your laptop
Reviewer Comments:
‘This is a great mouse. One of the best ones I have ever used. Some of the features I really like:
- The (newer) nano receiver, which can stay on the laptop at all times.
- The wireless just works. No pairing issues, no long initial wait when turning on.
- The “anywhere” part which is true! This mouse works on absolutely anything.
- All the buttons you need on a small mouse
- The great dual-mode…(Read More)
It is great mouse, and I can definitely recommend it if you are looking for new laptop mouse. Here are some more details:
1. Appearance: It is very similar to VX Nano, but has better rubber and color coating.
2. Size: It is a bit larger than VX Nano. (I assume the new laser technology, Dark-Field might be required more space. Another obvious reason is two AA batteries are used rather than AA…(Read More)
This is really a great mouse, the darkfield laser technology works great. I have yet to find surface that it will not track on and properly work. It REALLY does work on clear glass (and all other surfaces I have tried so far). I am often using my laptop in locations where it seems like all the available working surfaces are glass or some other material that doesn’t work well with laser mice, an…(Read More)
