Logitech MX1000 is it worth it?

Thread Starter 
A friend of mine told me "You need to go get one of these (MX1000)" What is the collective's opinion of the MX1000 for those of you who have had the privilege of using one?

Thank You. I appreciate your opinions.

the tracking can be a bit odd, (jumps all over the place) if you pick up and move the mouse, like actually lift it of the surface. I tend to do this alot while gaming so didnt really like it. Love the feel of the mouse allways have thats why im still sticking with my mx700 when im at my desk and my click plus for travel.

EXACTLY! I pick up my mouse a lot when gaming too, and with the MX1000 it makes the cursor go ape shit. I ended up returning my MX1000 and sticking with my wireless optical Microsoft mouse.

MX1000 rocks

I've used the MX1000 for a couple of weeks now and I haven't had any cursor jumping problems. I loved the highly acclaimed MX700 but the MX1000 feels even better and the sensitivity and tracking is right on. Other enhancements from the MX700 are the battery meter, amazing battery life and the on/off switch.

I also have had my MX1000 for almost 2 months now and would NEVER use any other mouse. I also have not had any problems whatsoever with it. It's truly amazing. I owned a MX700 before and it cannot even *compare* to this new mouse. I love not having to use a mousepad if I want to take my lappy in the living room, etc. Just remember, this isn't the end-all-be-all of mouses. You still need to remember the laws of reflection for the laser and use even just a decent surface. Other then that, this this is amazing.

MX1000 just uses a laser instead of a LED for the imaging... Pretty sure its still 800 DPI like the other MX series, so it *shouldn't* be much different.

different from the cheaper 510MX or 310MX etc...

I noticed a fair difference between my MX1000 and my microsoft intellimouse explorer and mom's logitech something or other mouse. The MX1000 will jump if you lift it up, but I never lift my mouse so it doesn't really bother me...

I like mine. I use it for AutoCad; one needs very accurate selecting for that, and it works good. I used to pick up my mouse like some others, but I trained myself not to....no prob. I would recommend it.

I <3 my MX1000 as well, although I don't game, I know in windows if you lift the mouse the cursor doesn't jump, but if you bring down the mouse and immediately begin to move it, there is a slight delay, but nothing noticeable during everyday use. I used to be a big fan of wired mouses and all, but I think they really did a good job with this mouse. BTW, the laser is said to be 20x more accurate than the optical sensors. The laser is able to read a much more precise image, again, suposedly, I dunno, feels damn nice to me. The battery is great, mine came charged but I left it on the base overnight, and it took 7 days for the battery meter to show 1 bar. Plus, its damn sexay. Oh yea, I bought mine through amazon via local pickup at my circuit city, and it came up to $63.

Which is good being that the MX1000 is wireless and the "cheaper" 310 & 510 are wired.

The cursor only "jumps" when the mouse is off the mousepad or any flat surface the mouse is sitting on. The laser needs a second or 2 to reorientate itself. As long as you keep the mouse flat, you should expierence no problems.... The Lithium-ion battery is a plus. Not recommended for laptops.

They need to stop smoking the crack then

In all seriousness it is extremely sensitive, but with a rough mousepad (I use the exactmat's rough side) and the sensitivity adjusted it's pure heaven. For the price I don't really see why a non-gamer wouldn't want one either. It looks cool, it's comfy, light, and ultra fast and precise too.

The only thing it doesn't have is wireless capability which doesn't bother me anyway.

You havn't seen it?

1) it needs an ac adater to charge the mouse, but doesn't need to be attached to the base unit when not charging....the ac adapter could be used once every 3 weeks.
2) the reciever base is too bulky to travel around with.

But isnt th mx1000 a bluetooth capable mouse? And if it is then surely there will be no requirement for a base all the time?

No, that's the MX900 - the Bluetooth version of MX700. I use that one with my notebook. No dongle, no cables - it's great.

There is no Bluetooth version of the laser mouse yet.
