Logitech Performance Mouse MX And Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX with Darkfield Laser Tracking And Tiny Receiver

The world’s leading provider of personal peripherals & accessories, Logitech has announced the release of a pair of new high-performance laser mouse – Logitech Performance Mouse MX (full-size mouse with flexible micro-USB charging system and 4 customizable thumb buttons) and Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX (more compact, notebook mouse). Both mice feature hyper-fast scrolling, advanced 2.4GHz wireless, and latest Logitech Darkfield Laser Tracking technology that provides users an accurate, precise cursor control on virtually any surface, including clear glass (> 4mm thick) and high-gloss surfaces.

According to Logitech, Darkfield Laser Tracking technology detects microscopic particles and micro-scratches on the surfaces (rather than tracking the surface itself), thanks to its dark field microscopy.

“Laptops have gained popularity in the last several years because of the freedom they afford – people today want to be able to connect to their digital world anytime, anywhere. However, until now, no mouse has been able to match that flexibility,” said Rory Dooley, senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices business unit, Logitech. “Thanks to Logitech Darkfield, whether you’re checking the morning news from the granite counter top in your kitchen or at work manipulating a spreadsheet from your glass desk, you can be confident that your Logitech mouse will be up to the task.”

The new Logitech Performance Mouse MX and Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX that include tiny Logitech Unifying receiver will ship in U.S. and Europe starting later this month for around $100 and $80, respectively.

Hm, that looks quite nice. (one on the left).. I have the MX laser in Midnight Black that I bought from OcUK a few years ago (yes I paid extra to get it in midnight black, lol).
The MX revolution advance isn't that comfortable in my hand.. So what I'm going to do is wait till I can hold one then see what I think.
 
It's going to cost what the MX Revolution costs now TBH as theRev has shifted price very little since launch - it is after all currently the most advanced mouse out there. The Razer Mamba doesn't count since it's too bugged to be called usable.

Edit*

Huh? who put the downthumbs icon on it!

I don't understand why does Logitech design mice with "raised asses"

This is what I mean,

They stick right into my palm, couldn't they just let the back of the mouse go down all the way, like with this mouse?

Because of that, MX Performance is an automatic "no buy" for me.
 
That looks a lot like the OCZ Behemoth. I never liked wireless mice much anyway, then you're always fiddling around with batteries and other wireless devices. That's why mine's sitting in the cupboard right now :p
 
I love my old wired MX510 but all this Dark Field Laser technology sounds neat, what exactly is it? I've never owned a wireless mouse either, is there much in the way of input lag or anything? It's about time I shelved the MX510 :(
 
Aye,

MX Rev is a beautifully ergonomic design and I fully welcome the Performance MX !

I've had a look on their shop site too, £89 :O

Thankfully with 50% off it's £45 so not so bad. I could probably sell the MX Rev as that's still all boxed and in VGC for say £30.... Hmmm!
 
I am dumping my current ratter - the MX518, which is possibly the best mouse I've ever used since the Intelliexplorer 3.0 from MS for one of these new Logitech's. Any idea when they come out?
