Editorial Review:Product Description:Logitech MX700 - because you demanded more from your mouse. Featuring the Logitech MX Optical Engine for responsive tracking, Cruise Control for efficient scrolling, rechargeable Fast RF cordless technology for superior performance, and a rapid charge base station for continuous power. Business never stops, neither should your mouse.The Logitech MX700 just raised the bar of expectation on precision and control. With its powerful MX optical engine, the MX700 instantly responds to even your fastest movements. The rechargeable Fast RF cordless technology gives the responsiveness of a corded connection, but without the cord. The two Cruise Control buttons provide continuous scrolling through long documents or websites. And the rapid charge base station acts as a receiver and a charger in one. You made the demand so Logitech built the device.
Amazon.com Review:Easily one of the most sophisticated desktop controllers ever produced, Logitech's MX700 cordless optical mouse is futuristic, functional, and ergonomically satisfying.
Designed with an eye-catching metallic silver-on-black paint job and an ultramodern rounded profile, the MX700 is both dramatic and trendy. But good looks are just part of the story. Unlike most optical mice, this unit operates without a cord. To revitalize your mouse, you'll merely pick it up and pop it into the enclosed charging station, a similarly sleek device that claims no more desktop real estate than the mouse itself and connects conveniently to any free USB, USB 2.0, or PS/2 port. Two rechargeable AA NiMH batteries are included.
In action, the MX700 is comparatively weighty yet very well-balanced. Its curvy, contoured housing conforms wonderfully to the hand and the natural positioning of all five fingers. Logitech has fitted the unit with no less than eight individual controls, each of which may be configured to execute a variety of duties. Apart from the standard dual button tasks, it can also perform continuous and line-by-line scrolls, page forward and back functions, and, in combination with its custom menu system, quick navigation between your most recently viewed documents. Furthermore, its high-powered 4.7 megapixels per second tracking speed is 50 percent more precise than many of its optical and analog rivals.
If you're still dealing with messy cords and dirty track balls, the MX700 will seem nothing short of amazing. If you're already working with a cordless optical mouse, you may want to upgrade just for the additional controls and convenient recharging station. Although its asymmetrical design won't suit lefties and its price tag may seem a bit steep, Logitech's top-of-the-line mouse will otherwise rejuvenate any desktop environment.
--Gordon Goble Pros: - Fast, precise optical tracking
- Easy recharging system
- Futuristic good looks
- Excellent ergonomics
Cons: - Not for lefties
- Comparatively pricey

Issue with Mouse and Charger Holster
I used this mouse for several months without any problems. Gradually, when placing the mouse in the charging holster, it had to be replaced several times to get the charging light to indicate the contacts were made between the charger unit and the mouse. Then, I had to keep replacing the mouse numerous times, different ways (easily, jambing, straight, crooked, etc) to get the charging light to come on.
At one point, I cleaned off the contacts and that helped for awhile. Eventually, nothing I could do would get the mouse to charge in the holster cradle. Like another user stated, I'd find the mouse discharging (flashing red light) more than it would charge.
Finally, I abandoned using this mouse and connected a wired mouse. Much less frustrating -- no charging and placement issues. I want to replace the wired mouse but will likely go with a different maker than Logitech because of all the warnings by other Logitech users about junk software (like Adware) getting installed with the mouse driver.
This design was a neat idea to have a cradle/holster to place the mouse in to charge while away from the computer, but (1) you have to remember to actually do that each time (takes some time to make it a habbit) and (2) getting the connections of the mouse and charger just right becomes a major hassle that eventually isn't worth the fuss.

best mouse ever
* I bought this mouse sometime between 2002-2003 and still use it till this day. only problem I have with it is the docking bay when recharging it so I just stopped using rechargable batteries. I played SWG, WOW, Battlefield, and other games I can't really think of and now I'm playing warhammer with this mouse and never had a problem other than the reacharging thing. If i could buy another one I would only cuz the one I'm using is completely faded around the palm area and the logitech logo that's on the palm area is completely gone. left and right click have two faded circles as well :D ...

Great while it lasted
I have absolutely LOVED this mouse through the years (yes, years. At least 4 that I recall). I've used it for web/graphic design, browsing, gaming, etc. and it's been lovely.
Unfortunately, over the last few months I've been having some trouble with it and it's time to replace it. What's happened is that the left-click sometimes simply doesn't work. Often, you have to press down really hard in order for it to actually work.
That being said... it has been through two moves and countless hours of my abuse for at LEAST 4 years before it started having trouble. I bought the MX700 desktop and with the keyboard it only cost me $50. Did I mention I got it refurbished? All-in-all, I'd say it's a quality product and I plan on sticking with Logitech for my next desktop set.

great while it lasted
* and it lasted only for a yr and half before the laser started jumping around, the charge would not hold, and the tracking became sloppy. not really worth the money you spend on a mouse you want to keep for at least 2 yrs. ...
