Installation is a breeze. Plug in the charger. Turn on the mini switch on the back of the mouse. Pop the USB receiver into a USB port. (It is so tiny; it is the size of 2 USB plugs altogether.) then use the auto install on the CD. Then shut down, remove your old mouse, and reboot. Done. By the way, the lithium battery had a sufficient charge right out of the box. You’re up and running in a couple of minutes.

You don’t need a mouse pad. Right away I put it to the test. You know the frustration you feel when a mouse doesn’t work, restricting you to the mouse pad. Not this one. I tried it on a gloss lacquer finish maple desktop table, it worked great. Then I said, “Aha, I will put it on the perfectly clear, see through plastic, it came in”, and it read perfectly again. You could do microsurgery with this thing, using it on clear plastic, your pants, your legs, or whatever. No movement is too fine, no matter what surface you use it on.

The scroll wheel has a special feature, it tilts right and left. That is a whole new set of choices. You can custom set the features yourself in the Set Point software. You can set up this whole mouse to your specifications, and it is an intuitive menu for doing so. For scrolling at hyper speed, I set “Cruise down” and “Cruise up” at 40%. With a gentle tilt, you are rapidly moving up and down the page, able to stop anywhere. At 100% the page is flying by you. I love hyper speed at 40%. The bottom line is their is no having to scroll the wheel like crazy to get down to the bottom of a long page. It even has an autosensing feature that automatically adjusts the speed to the size of the page. In addition to the tilt is the standard scroll wheel function, but now with 2 speeds, normal and extra fine, by simply pressing down on the wheel, to toggle between the two.

You have presentation flexibility because the mini USB receiver is good up to 12 feet away, even though it had to go through my couch to get to me.

This thing rocks. It’s got a topside mini search button that you set up with your favorite search engine. All you do is highlight a word, or phrase, hit the search button and you’re there. (HUGE time savings.) Great for learning software; you’ve got the book, you’ve got the help file, but you need more. Highlight the topic, one button, and instantly their is a page full of help called Google. (for example)

The document scroll feature is cool enough to deserve its own scroll wheel on the side, which it has. If you’re working between two or more programs, or documents, a quick push on the scroll wheel, up comes a box with all the running applications/docs right under your mouse cursor. Then, the tiniest movement brings up your program. Way faster than using the task bar.

The design is something right out of Star Trek. Finally, someone built a mouse with tons of features and the buttons don’t get in the way. The top of the mouse doesn’t have a left and right click panel, instead the complete top flexes on each side of a slit, in the front middle. So it is an arch that is flexing. It has a Frank Lloyd Wright feeling to it. It works perfectly, very sensitive. I guess you can tell, I love this mouse.

I have been using Logitech keyboards and mice on my machines for quite some time. This thing is a technological breakthrough in sensitivity, intelligent design right down to how they wrap the CD, and I have to admit, beauty. You should see it. Whether it is sitting on the charger, or on your desktop, it’s beautiful.
I’d like to say it is a toy, but it is a very serious business tool that makes your work more efficient, and exact. This is the way mice should have been made all along. The only thing wrong with it is you won’t be happy with your old mouse anymore. I should get one for every machine. Highly recommended.

PS: This thing is intelligently wrapped. You can be sure that in a UPS (Unbelievably Pulverized Shipment) it won’t be flopping around in the box. To remove it once it arrives, do as the instructions tell you, and press on the mouse “On the logo” and it pops right out. The mini receiver pops out just as well.
