Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse review

The last noticeable improvement is a subtle change in the sculpt of the MX 1100. The right edge sticks out from the side a bit more than the MX Revolution, which provides a more prominent resting place for your little finger. It's a small touch, but we found that it added a bit more comfort over long work sessions.

We'd certainly understand if the MX 1100's lack of rechargeability turns you off. We don't really miss the charging station adding to your desk clutter, and a quick look at the power indicator in the SetPoint software says that our batteries currently have 229 days of charge remaining. That feels like a reasonable life span, but it's also not the most environmentally friendly solution. You could, of course, use independently rechargeable batteries, and the cost of the mouse, already $80, would certainly go up with recharging built-in. We do wish that the MX 1100 was rechargeable, but that feature's absence isn't a deal killer for us.

Otherwise, our thoughts on the MX 1100 are the same as the MX Revolution, and even the MX 1000 from 2004. Logitech is far-and-away the design leader in PC input devices, and products like this one are the direct evidence. $80 is a lot to pay for mouse, no question, but for anyone that puts long hours in front of computer screen, the improvements the MX 1100 brings to navigation are well worth the price.
