My KVM's at two locations have Logitech MS35 mouses/mice(s)
in different OEM flavours, a similar Genius PS/2 3 button at a third and no-name USB mouse in my laptop bag. I rarely use the Genus tablet, except for giving directions.
All these are 3 button. I use FlashPeak Slimbrowser front-end to IE on Windows, where the middle button usefully opens the link in a new tab. Also essential for working in XWindows.
The fun starts when visiting other peoples PCs where invariably the rollers are covered by gunk similar to dirt under fingernails. Some people think there is supposed to be what looks like a rubber around the plastic roller. If you only partially clean this, it makes mouse movement even more erratic.
It looks like Logitech win for long life. I have an old BusMouse still going strong.0 -

3 OEM 4 (+wheel) button optical mice - all the same except 2 are gray/gray and one is blue/gray. Couldn't play Wolf/ET without the extra buttons anymore
. 1x MS Intelli-mouse (ball) - I hate having to use it now, and an original MS mouse (1989ish) on the server downstairs still going strong.

I've got the daddy, a Logitech MX700. And I love it dearly. Once you get used to it, its hard to go without. It's nicely heavy, which takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, it's great, because it makes it easier to use higher sensitivities. The 800DPI is fantastic, its very easy to make precision movements. And there's no skipping when you move it quickly.
The wireless is handier than I could have imagined. You get used to just moving the mouse about a lot on the desk, using it on your knees or whatever. You can also throw it at people, and its quite sturdy, and hurts too. Only done that once though.
The batteries are quite good, they'll do 2 or 3 days without a charge, and the recharge time is about 3 hours, but you can use it after about 30 mins of charging from empty and it'll go for a day. The low battery light comes on about 4 hours before it runs out. It's totally lagless too, unlike the MS mice. As far as lag goes, it might as well be corded, I've never noticed the difference. Its got about 3 metres range and it will work on every surface I've tried except a plate mirror.
The base stations great too, although the connection to the PC is a bit clunky, you'd want to have a decent amount of space beside your USB port. And it won't connect to a hub either
There's 8 buttons, mostly well positioned except the 8th, at the bottom middle, it just gets in the way. Otherwise they're great, particularly the cruise control, which is jsut stupidly useful.
Also, if you're righthanded, it just feels so right,
Hope this helps you.0 -
cruise control? no way man!
it's the only feature that keeps me off mouseware!
here's what's the problem:
before you install the mouseware, 2 cruise control buttons act as a scroll, when you install mouseware those 2 buttons get the cruise control feature and when you click them arrows appear(2 arrows down, 2 - up) as you have probably noticed, now when you move your pointer off the document window even though the focus is on that window and click cruise up or down button it won't move! which means you always have to have your pointer on the document you want to cruise on, that's ok with documents cause they are probably fullscreen but with ACDSee it's a headache! cause every image is different size and you always have to move the pointer to be over that image! *forgot* and since it's cruise control, it always "runs away" from you when you scroll images, you click it and it will scroll through 2 or 3 images before it stops
I tryed to install mouseware and then delete the keys from the registry to disable cruise control and make those 2 buttons acts as a scroll again but doesn't work once you restart it still has that cruise control! the only way to get rid of it is unistall but then you lose 2 button(app switch) 0 -

No!
Well that sucks! I've used it an mx500 and mx700 and its fine. Its also fine on my mx900 when using the mac. But it just seems so rediculously fast in Windows. Really wierd! Thanks for your help anyway.0 -
