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 got mine from http://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.

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
seth

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..)

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!

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??

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? ;-)

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.

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 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?

I’m sorry, but I don’t have any ideas on how to troubleshoot the problem. Try searching over at macosxhints.com. Good luck!

I’ve got a Bluetooth MX1000 as part of the MX5000 package and it won’t work at all with my 17″ powerbook. The bluetooth pairing wizard just doesn’t recognize the device, even though I press the “connect” button at the bottom and keep it just a few feet away from the laptop. How did you set up your MX1000?

It’s really nice. Unfortunately it’s only available as part of the MX-5000 Bluetooth desktop, which includes a BT keyboard and dongle. Even worse, the included keyboard is the only BT keyboard I’ve ever seen that won’t work with my PB. No biggie for me, I just gave it to a co-worker, I really just wanted the mouse anyway.

Still, I’m very happy with the MX-1000, esp. my BT edition.

I tried using the Apple bluetooth mouse for a while but just wasn’t as productive as with a multi-button mouse. So I stole the Logitech off my PC which I never use since I got the Mac.
Much better now
