Wow...

Comfort

Comfy, it sure beats the intellimouse explorer 2.0, immediately fits my hand perfectly when using it.

Delay
None, don't notice any, even in games and i've been testing it brutally all day.

Gaming
Well, I suck at shooting now, since dragging the mouse down/up is weird since there is no cable adding some friction to it.
However I can now go smoothly across the screen pixel to pixel if neccesary so yes, definate improvement - just need to get used to it.

Is it a good mouse?
Hell yeah.

I agree that this mouse, and its wireless counterparts are v'nice.
They are responsive and comfortable,
but (yes there always a BUT)
as a force of habit I use my mouse (and other mice) by holding it with thumb and two fingers, I know a button (and more) mouse is designed to be held with a thumb and little finger.

Because the mx500/700 are ergonomic, I cant grip them right,(two fingers on the right side of the mouse, there’s only space for one finger.) its uncomfortable to use as I use a normal mouse, but I cant get used to using it "correctly"

Hmm think I made this sound v'complicated, grrrr. Hope you all know what I mean.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. Which is why I don't like all these new "ergonomic" mice. I just can't hold them properly. Being left handed doesn't help either.

I man I am left handed as well, do you know where you can get a left handed ruler?
Other things I cant find are "Sky Hooks" and "Long Stand"
can any one help?

After expressing my hatred for all things logitec i have to say this mouse seems apealing, it is a toss up between this and the Bluetooth inteli mouse.

I bought one of the MX500s a couple of weeks ago. I'm very impressed with it to be honest. Comfort is excellent and response is much better than my Intelli-Explorer.

The only drawback I've found so far is the lack of being able to assign keystrokes to buttons as you could with the Intellipoint sofware. Though, perhaps Logitech will update mouseware soon so it incorporates this.

All in all, I'd recommend it highly.

I'm still using my review unit, tis very nice TBH. I liked the ms opticals but this is just that much more responsive.
I don't see the point in wireless mice tbh, more trouble than they're worth.

And cheez, get some right handed skillz :D

I've just got one and it's pretty good. Nice and responsive and comfortable to hold. Goes nicely with my elite black keyboard too.

I got wireless because I was always getting hiched up with cables, and I can putput via my shiny large TV for big screen gaming and sit on the armchair.


I have the Logitech Optical Desktop Pro (now called elite) which is a KB/mouse combo, and they have both stood up to my hamfistedness and still feel a s good as the day I bought them.
