Dark Field Laser mice from Logitech, coolest technology name ever.

Just picked mine up this morning. It's a replacement for my worn out MX518, which still works fine, except I want to use the Unifying Receiver with the Darkfield mouse and my Wave keyboard so as to free up one USB port.

Plugged the receiver in, and out of the box the mouse's sensitivity was perfect. Sod installing the Setpoint bloat, no real need unless you require the extra button customisation and DPI adjustment it offers you. Ergonomics for a large hand is spot on as the mouse is larger than I expected. The back/forward buttons are easily reached if you are an MX518 user. The mouse has a single AA Sanyo Eneloop within it - one hell of a high quality recharageable battery.

The box itself contains a neat leather pouch containing a USB extender cable, a usb-mouse cable so you can use the mouse as a wired device, with the bonus of recharging the battery and an USB/AC Adaptor plug, which was a really nice touch. More than pleased.

I've had a Mamba and didn'y like it's lack of useful features such as rocker switch on the mousewheel itself, for a gaming mouse to not have this I felt it was a let down especially given the price and the fact that MS and Logitech mice far cheaper have this...

The laser is slightly more sensitive than the Dark Field laser though, only slightly. Tracking and latency is exactly the same.
 
I bought one of these after my Revolution simply stopped working one day. :( The only thing this mouse lacks is a cradle charger, which is what I loved about my old Revo. Hooking it up to a USB cable is a step back in my opinion.

It easily tracks on my desk, including the shiny bits where the previous mouse couldn't cope.
 
Step back?

On the Revolution you could not use it while it was charging, with the PMX you can. How is that a step back!

Simply tuck the cable on your desk all connected up and only attach it when charging every few days.
 
it tracks, perfectly, on anything i've tried. (i usually use it on my leg with crumpled clothes, my old razer skipped etc)

also the micro usb is the same connection as my nexus one, so i preffer having a cable :D
