Logitech RX1000 is a Logitech USB mouse that is wired and can be connected to any USB port of your computer. This is a very simple, yet highly effective computer mouse, with a nice shape and design, with an elegant silver stripe around the black body. It is contoured to the shape of your hand and it fits perfectly the palm , making you feel comfortable even after long hour of use.



It is ambidextrous and can be used easily , with a slight move of your hand. It is pretty lightweight and nice looking and you can also use it with your laptop, too. The mouse has the normal main buttons separated by the scroll wheel, that is very helpful if you want to surf the very long documents or if you are looking for something in a spreadsheet. The scroll wheel has multiple functions and it can tilt to the sides when you want to scroll horizontally the documents or internet pages you opened.

You can also use it to zoom photos for example or whatever you might want to give a close view. I can see a small "fast search' button just below the scroll wheel and this is an important feature that helps you save time. You just select a certain word or phrase in a document, press this button and you will have an immediate search on the internet, finding the exact meaning or other contexts of the word you are looking for or you are presented photos of the respective object.

This Logitech USB mouse called Logitech RX 1000 is a laser mouse, so it has a laser sensor that detects its position in space and this contributes a lot to its accuracy that is already pretty high since the mouse has 1000 dpi resolution. It does not have any problems in sending the signal to the computer and translating its position into the position of the cursor on the screen, as the signal is sent directly through the cord, so no lag and no tremor.

This mouse is perfect to use in any conditions and , thanks to the laser sensor, it can work on virtually any kind of surface, with or without a mouse pad. You can use it for all purposes, even for games and it will work just fine. Besides, it does not need any extra software to be installed in order to work, so you can use it as soon as you take it out of the box and plug it into the USB port of your computer.

You can find it for sale in any online computer store for a fair price between $25-40. So, considering all its features and its performance, I would say this is a very good deal and it represents a very good price for the quality offered. In comparison, other laser mice cost almost twice as much, so you can always rely on Logitech to offer the best possible quality for the money.

Logitech MX600 cordless laser mouse is considered to be the improved wireless version of MX400.It keeps the traditional Logitech design, but this time it is a bit different, twisted somehow, so that the mouse could be more ergonomic and comfortable to use, even after long hours of using it. The size is perfect, fitting the palm of your hand in a comfortable way. The design is nice and ergonomic and you even have a thumb rest area and comfortable rubberized grips. The scroll wheel is also rubberized in order to avoid slipping.

It is amazing because of its simplicity. When you first look at it , you have the impression that it is minimalistic, but it actually has a lot of buttons that you can use by default or programme them to perform any functions you consider fit. Of course, there are the two traditional left and right click mouse buttons and the scroll wheel between them that also tilts to the sides for a horizontal scrolling.

Then there are the buttons on the left side of the mouse that are being operated by the thumb. The two buttons situated right on the thumb rest are usually used as back and forth buttons. But there are three additional buttons on the left edge of the mouse that, if you use them by default, will zoom in, zoom out and zoom 100%. However, if you do not use the zoom so much, that is if you are not interested in editing photos or something similar, you can always reprogramme them, for example to act like media buttons, performing the play/pause, volume up and volume down functions.

Logitech MX 600 cordless laser mouse is of course cordless. That is why it needs a receiver that connects to the USB or PS2 port of your computer. The wireless communication is made through 2.4 GHz radio frequency signals, the receiver getting the signals instantly due to the flawless responsiveness and state-of -the art laser technology. The laser sensor is very precise and works on all kinds of surfaces, even on glass, which is obviously superior to all the optical computer mice I have ever seen.

Being wireless means that this mouse works on batteries, two AA batteries to more exact. But they can last for a long time as the smooth moves of the mouse reduce friction and also the battery consumption. Because you don't want to be caught in the middle of some important work when the batteries go down, you have an optical warning, that is the green LED situated on top of the mouse blinks when the batteries are going down and you need to change them. This mouse is very useful and handy and also comfortable and offers a high quality for a good price. You can use it for all mousing activities and get the best results. If you are interested, you can get it from any online store for a price between $25-50, depending on the offer. For example you can order one here for $50.

There are quite a few obscure manufacturers that like to play around with mouse designs, forgetting everything about ergonomics and comfort. Weird-shaped mice take the form of funny animals, tools and cars, and just anything you could imagine. While playing with such mice could be fun, the actual usage might not prove to be that entertaining. Anyhow, I think that one should have one good mouse and the rest could go into his/her collectibles stash.

One of the latest less ergonomic, but funny mice comes in the form of a slightly flattened golf ball complete with a specially designed mouse pad that resembles a golf course. The mouse pad features a flag, a putter and a tiny ball, so now you have to slalom your way on the pad.

Goofing around with such mouse and pad won’t serve in any way if you intend to play FPS and other games requiring precision and lightning-fast response times, though the mouse is optical. This set looks like it would be more appropriate as an ornamental gadget lying around the office desk of a golf veteran. In addition to its special shape, the mouse can also light up in several colors, making for a stroboscope and keeping you awake in those lazy summer office days.

No info on price and availability. The guys over at Gizmag might know something about these aspects.

There are quite a few obscure mouse makers out there and I tried to find them all and present their products for you here. But I never thought AOpen would come up with their own gaming mouse.

The newly designed AOpen MMO-310 mouse is a comfortable digital rodent with an excellent ergonomics design. It appears that the AOpen MMO-310 mouse is suitable only for right-handed users. In order to improve ergonomics, AOpen added a rubber coating to the thumb area of the mouse, further improving the mouse control, as well. This is specifically targeted at gamers, especially when the palm is sweating due to an intense firefight in a FPS game or an MMORPG.

Although it is designed for gamers, the optical technology included with the mouse doesn’t seem too fit for a gaming-grade mouse. Nonetheless, it should be good enough for the majority of people who use computers in office environments.

The AOpen MMO-310 mouse also comes with blue LED lights on its top, adding for an overall fashionable design. AOpen’s new mouse is available in three different colors. Details on pricing and availability are practically non-existent for the moment, but the mouse is expected to hit the Asian market this summer.

Although it’s not as big as Logitech, Kensington manufactures some of the best trackball mice on the market, and it’s known for ingenious mice designs, as well. Clearly, the trackball mice aren’t intended for gamers, but there are many laptop users that would find Kensington’s Expert Optical Mouse useful, especially in those places where you can’t really find enough room to operate a classic optical mouse.

Of course, Kensington is boasting a bit saying that this is the best trackball around, but that seems to be the truth if we take a closer look at the Expert Mouse. Designed for PCs and Macs, the new Expert Mouse integrates Kensington's Diamond Eye optical technology for smooth, precise cursor movement.

Surrounding the ball, there’s a brand new implementation of Kensington’s award winning Scroll Ring technology that puts scrolling right at your fingertips, literally. Plus you get 4 customizable buttons around the ring, too. The guys over at Kensington even provide extended ergonomics, including a soft new wrist rest-right. The Expert also provides full USB support.

Here are some more highlights for the Expert Mouse:

• Largest ball of any of the mainstream, consumer devices
• Great momentum and virtually frictionless rotation
• Detachable wrist rest cradles your hand in comfort

Amazon has this one for about $66.24.
