Logitech Mx600 Cordless Laser Mouse

Published by MouseArena, on March 9th, 2010, in the categories: Design, Logitech, USB mouse, Wireless Mouse, concept mouse

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.

Best Rated Logitech Wireless Mouse

Published by MouseArena, on March 5th, 2010, in the categories: Logitech, Wireless Mouse

Logitech has released many very appreciated wireless mice. They all their weak and strong points, but none of them has equaled the overall fame and popularity of the Logitech MX Revolution computer mouse. It is the best rated Logitech wireless mouse when you consider the average rating for all the features.  Logitech MX Revolution really was a revolution in the computer mouse industry. Let's see some of its features and give arguments why we should consider it the best rated Logitech wireless mouse.

First of all Logitech MX Revolution has a very nice ergonomic design, with a very comfortable place sculpted in the mouse for the thumb to rest. The grip is covered with rubber for a better adherence of the hand.  The palm of your hand rests comfortably on the back of the mouse and the buttons and both scrolls are very easy to use, being placed in the reach of your fingers.


There are the two regular left click and right click buttons with a scroll wheel between them and another one on the right side - operated by your thumb. In fact only the scroll wheel on top acts like a normal scroll wheel and helps you navigate through very long files, because the second one is used as an application switcher. When you have a lot of applications opened at the same time and one or even two screens to look at , this button helps you decide which application you choose to stay on.

Just click it once and you will be shown a window with all the active applications that are open. With other consecutive clicks you can go from one application or tab to another until you end up on the right one. However, the scroll wheel offers one of the most interesting and important features of this computer mouse: the fast scroll. With just a gentle stoke of the wheel you have the possibility to browse tens or even a hundred pages from a very long document.

But you can use it for line by line scrolling, too. It all depends on your need and on the document type.The wheel also tilts to the side for horizontal scrolling and can operate the zoom in and out functions. The small button positioned right below the scroll wheel searches for the selected word or phrase on the internet, opening your default browser. It is both useful and out of the ordinary.

You can't talk about the best rated Logitech wireless mouse without mentioning its laser sensor that works like a charm on any kind of surface and gets the position of the mouse with great accuracy. The resolution is only 800 dots per inch, a lot less than a few gaming omputer mice I know, but quite enough if you use it for something else. The mouse communicates with the USB receiver plugged into the computer and works on two AA batteries.


Because nobody wants to be caught by surprise in the middle of some important things to do, you have four degrees of warning - the four little green LEDs telling you how full the battery is and when you are supposed to change it (it blinks as it approaches the terminal phase). The price is a bit prohibitive, about $100, but we are talking of serious and special features , precision and stability. That is why the Logitech company advertised it at the time as being "the most advanced computer mouse".

Logitech M205 Mouse

Published by MouseArena, on March 2nd, 2010, in the categories: Logitech, Reviews, Wireless Mouse

Logitech M205 mouse is a very new and very good wireless computer mouse. It is desgined for laptops and notebooks, so it is a bit smaller than regular computer mice, but you might love it, especially if you are a girl. It comes in various colours, two of which are presented here: an original and attractive white with orange stripes on the sides and black with blue sides.



It is a compact and comfortable computer mouse that you can very easily store in a bag pocket when you are travelling.The design is very simple and nice, allowing it to be used bu right and left handed people with the same ease. Being wireless, it means that this computer mouse works on batteries, actually one AA battery that allows an independent usage for up to four months.


Logitech M205 mouse is delivered together with its mini-receiver that is very small and discreet and you can barely notice it when it is plugged in your USB port. This mini-receiver has a very convenient "hiding place" during travelling, that is it snaps perfectly underneath the computer mouse and at the same time turns it off automatically. This battery saving technology works in multiple ways and another one of them is the sleep mode of the computer mouse that activates when it is not used.

The computer mouse has a high resolution of 1000 dots per inch which is very nice for this model, as it is not intended to be a gaming mouse. The movement of the mouse is detected by a sensitive optical sensor and the signal of its positioning is sent to the receiver and thus to the computer that translates the moves of the mouse into moves of the cursor on the computer screen.

The dedign of the Logitech M205 computer mouse is very simple, yet efficient. It only has two buttons (the regular left and right click buttons) and a scroll wheel between them. The scroll wheel helps you manage the spreadsheets, browse through long documents and also zoom in and out of picture documents. But you can perform all the actions that you want with them , obtaining a very good quality of the mousing action.

The side coloured grips are made of rubber, which makes them easily to hold and in this way your hand keeps a firm grip of the mouse and does not allow it to slip away. Even though it is cordless, the mouse works as soon as you take it out of hte box, turn it on and plug in the mini USB receiver. You do not need any additional software or drivers.


This mouse is perfect for portable computers, as it weighs only 80 grams and its dimensions 60 x 100 x 37.3mm make it perfect for a safe depositing in the tiniest place without the fear of having to find a lot of room for it. Besides, the price for such a nice and elegant computer mouse is around $20 (more or less, depending on the web site where you find it for sale) which is a very good price for this quality.

Wireless PS2 Mouse Logitech

Published by MouseArena, on February 18th, 2010, in the categories: Logitech, Wireless Mouse

A while ago all computers had PS2 ports where you could connect all the peripherals that helped you operate your computer including the mouse, keyboard, printer and suff like that. So these devices that had to be plugged in there had to be compatible and had a similar design to fit the port. You certainly remember round plugs at the end of the mouse or keyboard cord.



But now they are replaced by the USB ports that allow a wider range of devices to be connected to your computer. But it seems that some people still own some computers with PS2 ports, even though they use modern equipment designed for USB. That is why producers have thought of a trick: to build an adapter that allows devices designed for USB plugging to also fit the PS2 ports. It is called USB to PS2 adaper, as you can imagine. Not all computer mice have it, but you can still find some.


It is harder for wireless mice especially because they belong to the latest generation and they are very rarely provided with this adaper. However I could find a very nice ergonomic computer mouse that is both wireless and PS2 compatible and offers the ergonomic design as a bonus : the wireless Logitech Trackman mouse.

This is an optical mouse and at the same time a trackball, so it combines two important features that ensure a very good quality tracking with minimum effort, as you don't have to move your whole hand, but only one finger when operating it. Besides, the trackball offers incredible accuracy and precision, which is very helpful if you are an artist or use Photoshop a lot.

The wireless Logitech Trackman mouse is compatible with both USB and PS2 ports , making it perfect for both older and newer computers. Because it is a wireless mouse it also has a small receiver that plugs into a port on your computer and gets the radio frequency signals it sends in order to make its position known. The five buttons beside the trackball that are positioned so as to be operated mainly bu your thumb help you navigate around Windows and the web easily.

Too bad it is only designed for the right handed people. It works with two AA batteries that can last for months. It is compatible with any PC non Mac and supports any version of Windows later than 1998. Because the buttons can be reprogrammed and because of the wireless feature it needs some software and drivers that you either install from the CD purchased together with this mouse or download for free from the official web site belonging to Logitech.


Besides all the features offered by the many programmable buttons and the trackball, this Logitech mouse is also a very good ergonomic device, as you can operate it very easily, offers comfort to your hand and wrist and a thumb rest. It sells for a fair price between $30-45 and if you are interested in buying it you can order here and here right now. Good luck!

Logitech – M305 Wireless Optical Mouse – Silver/Black

Published by MouseArena, on February 17th, 2010, in the categories: Logitech, Wireless Mouse

You can easily recognize the logitech brand when you see Logitech M305 wireless optical mouse - silver/black even if you don't notice the company's logo on it. It is about that familiar shape and structure that all recent wireless Logitech mice have. This small computer mouse is unexpectedly comfortable due to the rubber that covers the sides, offering a good grip surface even when your hand is wet.



It is very simple, yet you can use it to do whatever you want to, so never mistake simple with weak. It is really complex and well designed, especially made to be used by both hands, thus offering both left and right handed people the same chance. It is a wireless computer mouse, so maybe you would expect it to be a little slow when sending the position to the tiny receiver plugged into the USB port of your computer.



But you couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact it is really very reliable and able to transmit data really fast due to the 2.4 GHz radio frequency used. It has no delays or dropouts and also has a high resolution of 1000 dots per inch, which is perfect for the optical sensor to ensure a smooth and responsive cursor control, more than in the case of other wireless computer mice.

The tiny receiver used to get the information through wireless signals can be easily transported when you are not using the mouse, as it has a little space underneath the mouse where you can place it in order not to get lost during transportation. Actually when you plug this nano receiver in the USB you almost can't see it, not to mention the fact that it is unobtrusive and does not prevent the neighbouring USB ports from being used with other peripherals. You simply forget you have it.

Logitech M305 wireless mouse is very easy to use , as it has the two traditional click buttons and the scroll wheel that works all four sides. The rubberized edgy scroll allows you to use it with extreme precision without dropping it in the middle of an important long document that you are scrolling. The mouse works with only one AA battery and it can last up to a few months thanks to the smart feature of turning to automatic sleep mode when you don't use it for more than five minutes. This, together with the On/Off button that you can use to turn the mouse off when you are not using it for a longer period of time saves a lot of battery energy and prolongs its life.



But, no matter how long the life of the battery, it eventually ends, so you have to know when to change it lest you might be caught in the middle of something important. That is why There is a small green LED that blinks when it's time to change the battery. You can find this mouse for sale in any store distributing Logitech products for the average price of $40, which is more than fair in my opinion for the features it offers.
