If you have problems with the performance of your mouse’s batteries you will have to change them because batteries too have a certain period of “life” in which they can provide you full power. There are users who noticed that they have to charge their mouse’s batteries 2 or 3 times a week and when they first got the gadget they had to charge the batteries almost once a week. Indeed they can loose their capacities in time, because like any other part of hardware it can deteriorate. So, if you are looking for replacement batteries for your Logitech mouse, have no fear because you can find them in specialized stores and on the Internet, but like in other gadgets’ case you will have to be very careful in choosing the right battery for your little PC accessory.

One of the basic peripherals gaming mice is Logitech G9x, a model specifically designed for those who spend time playing in front of the PC.

Although it has a special design, Logitech G9x model is intended only for right-handed, and this is due to different settlement of keys on the mouse.The laser sensor reaches a maximum rate of 5,000 dpi. The mouse is slightly larger than average, which makes it also heavier. Like other models, Logitech G9x has buttons for left and right "click", among them being the scroll wheel in four directions, namely besides the up / down it can move left / right. Under the "left click" button there is also a button that can reduce or raise the mouse cursor speed.



Although it seems quite difficult to handle, when used, palm is completely seated on it and the curvature for the thumb is neither too deep nor too prominent and the hand is much more rested. In addition, it is made of plastic, which even if it seems fine, is easily porous and the mouse does not slip or do not raise the issue of discomfort after several hours of intense use. Logitech G9x presents two more buttons on the left side. Besides the left / right buttons, the rest of them can be customized.

Normally, the mouse weighs 45 g, but it comes with a set of weights that can make the device to reach a weight of 133 grams. Changing weights is very simple. Under the removable casing of this model, there is a tray that allows the settlement of four weights. The downside is that the tray can be easily blocked if weights are not placed correctly.

Logitech MX Air

Published by MouseArena, on May 7th, 2011, in the categories: Logitech

The company Logitech International was founded in 1981 by Daniel Borel and Pierluigi Zappacosta. It was made famous through the production and marketing of innovative and high quality peripherals for desktop and laptop computer as this (super) mouse. Logitech products are often full of new ideas and technologies that aim to facilitate and optimize the daily work in front of the computer for any type of user, another plus in my opinion being the fact that the design is very well done most of the times.

The mouse weighs about 100 grams and is made of: Smoky translucent Plexiglas top with a little visible Logitech logo. On this side there are 8 reprogrammable buttons through software and the sensitive control surface that takes the places of the scroll wheel. There is also the logo of the technology used namely Freespace and also the LEDs that light up differently depending on its use, normal (2 D) or "airborne" (3 D).



The underside of the housing seems to be made ??from plastic painted silver. Also on this side are four Teflon feet, the contacts responsible for recharging through docking station, the laser which is responsible for controlling the mouse in the normal use position and the ON / OFF buttons. After the specifications available on the net the mouse seems to have a normal sensitivity in the use of "only" 800 dpi, in the air has no sensitivity specification available. It uses a Wireless dongle with a frequency of 2.4 GHz, has a radius of approximately 10 meters and does not require direct line of sight with the receiver, even if the mouse is turned backwards it works normally due to sensors with which it is equipped. For the airborne navigation mode is to blame a combination of motion control technology called Freespace that relies on RF (radio frequency), DSP (digital signal processing) and MEMS (microelectromechanical sensors). The mouse is also set to ignore small hand tremors that may occur during in air use. The size of the installed software SETPOINT is about 45 Mb and uses about 5 MB of RAM, so in terms of a modern PC is not a concern. Immediately after the installation, appears a flash tutorial that instructs the user about the functions of the mouse and on all available options. Then option appears available for each button can be reconfigured in part to do just about anything, sensitivity setting options for 2D motion (normal desktop) and 3D (in air), the options sensitivity touch sensitive surface that you place scroll wheel.



Then option appears available for each button and can be reconfigured in part to do just about anything, the sensitivity setting options for 2D motion (normal desktop) and 3D (in air), the sensitivity options for the touch sensitive surface that takes the place of the scroll wheel. Also, the software has an option to auto update, manual update and buttons to return to default settings, help center and direct connection with Logitech Support. It is a mouse that is worth buying if you are familiar with wireless mice, the transition from a wired mouse directly to this one may be a little too much, but if you are willing to be patient, everything is possible.

The Best and Most Popular Mice

Published by MouseArena, on May 3rd, 2011, in the categories: Logitech

On December 9, 1968 Douglas Engelbart showed the world for the first time a computer mouse. Since then, this device keeps a rightful role in controlling the computer. Mice manufacturers have reinvented the peripheral over time and today are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Here is a list of the best mice in recent times, according to opinions of many users and some studies on these small devices.

1. Logitech TrackMan
It is distinguished by a quality that places it on top of the list: it fully eliminates the wrist pain, because you actually use your thumb to control the cursor. In addition, it is really interesting not to be forced to allocate some space on your desk to move the mouse. It is ideal for office work but and for gamers.


2. Logitech MX Revolution<
The most popular mouse in the traditional category of those whom "walk" on the desk is the MX Revolution, which aims to be "World's Most Advanced Mouse" for both features and design. What gives the impression of a rather Spartan design on the left in fact enhances the comfort and keeps the hand in a more neutral position being more comfortable than a regular mouse.

3. Logitech G5
Although it was marketed as a gaming mouse, Logitech G5 also proved to be ideal also in common usage, daily. It features a special compartment, which allows adding up to 36 grams in addition to the mouse weight, also a touch switching that can easily shift to 400 from 800 to 2000 DPI, changing the resolution depending on the application.

4. Logitech MX 510/ Logitech MX 518
Although not all equally endowed with many capabilities as his older brothers, the MX Revolution or G5, and the design is not its strong point, the Logitech MX518 or Logitech MX 510 first compensate through the price, which is quite low. The mouse has eight programmable buttons, aptly positioned under your thumb.

5. Logitech VX Nano
VX Nano makes the law when it comes to laptops. Users appreciate mainly the extremely small USB receiver. When not on the laptop, the receiver can sit inside the mouse and can be used as storage space. Despite the very small size, the Nano features the same technology as older Logitech’s and five programmable buttons.

6. Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000
When presses, the scroll wheel of Laser Mouse 6000 functions as an application selector. The life of the battery moves it the category of mice with excellent characteristics.

7. Evoluent Vertical Mouse
Evoluent Vertical Mouse can be characterized mainly through the comfort, which is ensured by the vertical position of the hand. The mouse gained a position in the rankings just because of its shape.



8. Kensington Expert Trackball
Kensington Expert is stationary like the Logitech TrackMan and does not require hand motion on the desktop. The difference is that the wheel that can be rotated to move the cursor is positioned in the center of the mouse and is much bigger.

9. Wacom Tablet
Although the transition from mouse to tablet is much steeper than switching from a mouse model to another, many discover that using a tablet pen is positioning the body in a more natural position and relieves pain.
