Customer Reviews of Logitech Cordless Click! Plus Optical Mouse

A good cordless mouse - despite other reviews
I have two of these, one at home and one at work, and as a software developer, I use my computer/mouse a lot. Also, I've had them for about 6 months. <
> <
>I've read several of the other reviews and found some criticisms to be fair, and others not. Here goes: <
> <
>Jerky performance: It depends greatly on your mousepad/surface. I used to have a Wired psychadelic mousepad that confused the heck out of most infra-red mice. Go with a basic, non-reflective mousepad and it should be fine. I use it for very precise (to the pixel) graphics work and it does just fine. Also, don't use your mousepad for a plate. Food, etc. will interfere and cause problems. I know, it's obvious to you and me, but maybe not to they guy who had problems. ;-) <
> <
>Battery life: One person claimed they had to take the batteries out or it would be dead by morning. Mine last 4-6 weeks under pretty heavy usage. The mouse has a low-power mode when it doesn't detect movement for a while. If you put it in a backpack, etc., though, it will percieve constant motion and stay active, in which case you do have to pull the batteries. I have 4, 2100 mAh (capacity) NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride recharable) batteries, so when they run low, I swap them out to recharge. cost-effective, convenient, and Earth-friendly! :-) Built-in rechargable sounds good on paper, but a take my laptop home with me so it would not be able to recharge when I'm not using it. This + rechargable batteries is the most practical solution. <
> <
>Button placement: Well, it's true. If you are a leftie, look elsewhere 'cause this is not the mouse for you. I'm not sure about the reviewer that claimed one button nearly required breaking a finger to hit it. I guess it depends on how you grip the mouse. I use my fingertips more, but if you tend to "palm" the mouse, you might have trouble with the application switcher button. Not the end of the world, though. <
> <
>Driver: I have to agree, it would really nice to be able to map buttons on a per-game basis. Again, though, not the end of the world since I don't use the extra buttons that much anyway (starting to like the browser back/forward buttons, though). <
> <
>Customer Service: I don't know. I've been using Logitec stuff for years (my #1 peripherals company) and I've never had a decent excuse to call/email customer service. But the one reviewer is right. If a mouse/keyboard doesn't work right and you can't take it back where you got it, you probably are better off tossing it and getting another one. Never been a problem for me, though. <
> <
>Cordless: Cordless is great. I'v had so many times when I was trying to adjust something by one or two pixels, only to have the cord bump my water cup or drag on my speakers. I'll never go back to corded.

Worse than a corded mouse and terrible customer service
I will never buy a Logitech product again. Logitech has the most obnoxious customer service of any company I've dealt with. Their cordless products are buggy and jerky. If you have a problem you're better off throwing it away rather than have to deal with their customer service.

Don't buy if you are left handed
My main gripe about this mouse is the product manual doesnot say it is suited for right handed people. I do have other complaints read on.. <
>The mouse has two buttons to the left side of it near your thumb if you are a right hander. These two buttons can be configured to perform different operations like forward, backward etc. Now if I use this mouse in my left hand my little finger brushes over those buttons and invariably I press the forward or backward buttons. So I have to be conscious of not pressing those buttons. If you are left handed don't buy this mouse. <
> <
>Now you may ask me, why not disable those buttons. Alas I can't do that. I have installed the Logitech's mouse driver software and it replaces your standard "control panel->mouse". It has a drop down menu where you can configure the buttons. You always have to map it some function here. You cannot map it to a "NONE" operation. <
> <
>One other inconvienience with this mouse is, myself and my wife we frequently change the mouse buttons, she being a right hander and me a left hander. The mouseware software with logitech is so un-userfriendly you have to do multiple operations for the simple task of switching the primary and secondary buttons. <
> <
>However the mouse responds without any lag and is pretty good. If you are right hander you can probably buy it if you don't mind the cumbersome mouseware software.
