Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse

Pros: Excellent battery life, excellent ergonomics, good solid feel

Cons: I honestly haven't a single complaint with this mouse. I've used rechargeable logitech mice and seen others with them as well, and nearly all of them end up having to be prematurely replaced due to the charging contacts wearing out.

Summary: I bought this mouse as a birthday present to myself, and after 7 months just changed the batteries for the first time. A little short of the quoted 9 months, but I use this mouse about 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, so I really can't argue with 7 months at all.

I use Linux so can't comment on the software it comes with, but using BTNX I was able to make use of every button on it exactly as I want. The hidden thumb button brings up my Plasma dashboard, and the horizontal scroll tilt switches through my desktops.

The device has a nice heft, giving it a solid predictable feel. The adjustable DPI makes it a very nice gaming mouse for when I feel like shooting some monsters. The shape fits my hand perfectly, every button is right where it should be.

My last logitech mouse was also not rechargeable, but the battery life on it was pitiful by comparison, only 5-6 weeks. However, it did last 6 years and was in fact still working when I replaced it with this beauty.

If you're looking for a high-end do-it-all mouse, you could definitely do a lot worse than an MX-1100.
