FYI–

For any of you experiencing problems weird glitchy “jumpy” movement problems, ever since upgrading to Leopard I haven’t noticed the behavior even once.

Give that a go if it’s a problem for you.

Cheers,

I think the MX100 is the best! I got mine from www.just4deal.com. Ever since I received my MX 1000 I'have been in mouse heaven. Prior to owning this mouse I owned a Microsoft Wireless mouse and experienced many issues. I am very glad that I made the decision to change.

RE: Steve

Which mouse are you talking about doesn’t need to be plugged in to use? I was thinking of getting either that MX5000 set just to get the BT MX1000, or should i just go for the RF MX1000? I agree that I don’t want to have to have that dock plugged into my MBP, it is afterall a laptop that i’m trying to get even more wireless with a new wireless mouse.

Thanks

Currently testing the MX1000 with Logitech software installed on my MacBook Pro. No problems at all (RF, not BT). I recently purchased a Mighty Mouse and had to send it back because it was jumping all over the screen. I hope a new one will fix the problem, or else i have to buy another MX1000. (Tired of swapping the mouse between my Mac and PC..)

Buy the way . . . I bought one a couple days ago. I got one at Amazon – $30 discount for getting a credit card, $20 rebate, and regular discount. That bring my price to under $14! I feel illegal!

Thanks guys,

I had a Macally cordless keyboard and 2 button/scroll mouse. It’s real hard to get by with the plain wireless mouse Apple provides. What is up with THAT??

Actually you don’t need to plug the power cord in during normal usage, only to recharge the mouse.

I also highly recommend MX1000 users to purchase USB Overdrive, which plays great with the mouse and is much more reliable and customizable (per-application button assignments; horizontal scrolling etc) than Logitech’s terrible drivers.

How did I ever live with a one-button mouse for so many years? ;-)

This mouse works great on my G5 iMac. The only thing i dislike is the power cord. I thought the USB cord would be enough but aparently the base needs to be plugged into the wall.

After purchasing the mouse grabbed the most recent logitech software and installed it with no issues. People who use only wired mouses have noticed the response on this mouse to be almost flawless.

With heavy use i charge it once a week while sleeping.

9.5/10 for me just because of the power cord.

Mark, the MX1000 – like virtually all mice – will work with any recent Mac without any special software. Just plug and play. Logitech’s software is supposedly good for managing the “special” settings of their advanced mice, but personally I prefer to not install the extra crap, and just use OS X’s built-in preferences.

The OS X Dashboard & Exposé preference pane can detect the extra buttons on your mouse and assign them to various useful functions. I believe some of them also have default mappings in web browsers for back and forward.

Of course, if you do want Logitech’s software, you can always download and install it when it’s released. I’m just pointing out that there’s no reason to wait to buy a new mouse.

I’m looking at a MX1000. I don’t think they are ready for my intel iMac. I saw on the site something about they would have the software ready soon. Can anyone help me – PLEASE?
