why is tracking distance much worse than wired mouse? i was surprised to see that using this mouse is more difficult in some ways than the usual wired mouse. despite settings at fastest tracking, the area one must cover to reach all places on my monitor is way too big - requires picking up and moving mouse. this is not how it should be. also the ergonomics are not that great - i feel hand strain. i think this one is going back to apple! why is tracking distance much worse than wired mouse? i was surprised to see that using this mouse is more difficult in some ways than the usual wired mouse. despite settings at fastest tracking,... » Read More why is tracking distance much worse than wired mouse? i was surprised to see that using this mouse is more difficult in some ways than the usual wired mouse. despite settings at fastest tracking, the area one must cover to reach all places on my monitor is way too big - requires picking up and moving mouse. this is not how it should be. also the ergonomics are not that great - i feel hand strain. i think this one is going back to apple! « Show Less

Try BetterTouchTool- http://boastr.net/It lets you set the tracking speed much higher than Apple allowed. I have no idea why Apple would limit it at such a low level, I can get by with the max Apple setting, but barely, and it isn't hard to imagine a lot of people wanting it to track faster (especially on dual display setups). Maybe apple should pay that guy a lot of money for his application and make all those options available via turning off the idiot toggle that should be on a lot of their software instead of it all being dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.

I use a Magic Mouse at my desk, and use the Logitech when I go to other buildings or meetings. There's definitely a size difference, I actually like the Logitech a bit better. I have fairly large size hands and it takes a bit getting used to, but doesn't seem to slow me down. As far as functionality, I haven't noticed much difference. The Logitech does seem to connect a bit faster though. If I could only have 1 - I would absolutely choose the Logitech.

It sh sould connect directly to the computer that you are using or product with out interference of the keyboard. Now how the mouse works is a different story. It looks good and sounds good but how it actually performs is totally different. Let me just say the mouse acts like its possessed. It starts doing other things you dont want it to do. The touch sensitivity needs alot of work . Maybe next version will work better.

I don't know, I haven't used an m570. Hows that for honesty?, however I was informed that a wired mouse is better than a wireless mouse because there is a slight lag time between the transmitter and receiver in the wireless version. (not so good for gaming apparently.) That's why I chose a wired mouse. As far as the price is concerned, I doubt its a typo, wireless technology is more advanced than wired and so you are paying for the tech. Think of it this way: a land line phone is wired and you can pick up a decent phone for around 30 bucks at Walmart. now compare that to the cost of a cellphone which is wireless.

I believe the mouse is easier to navigate. It also serves as a mouse so you do not have dual equipment.

Logitech doesn't make a comparable gaming mouse. I have owned a lot of Razer products and have had little issues with any of my products. Sounds like you may had a issue with the connection due to simply put usage. I had one my old original Razer nagas had same issue which was from chair running over cord. Same issue happened for a logitec that I had. If your a extreme gamer like myself you might consider Razer epic. It is a cordless gaming mouse that can also plug in. Razer is only gaming company that has not just a full line up of gaming stuff but also special software to enhance the gaming expierence. Logitech doesn't make a comparable gaming mouse.

It is slightly smaller that you would want to use, also hardcore gamers prefer a wired mouse for that extra millisecond of response time.

The cord is way too short to use comfortably. I tried to use it with a MacBook Pro, and found it was too restrictive. I returned thr Apple mouse and ordered a Logitech wired mouse. The cord was twice as long and the price was half.

I have been using this for over a year now. Think it's a motor skill/coordination issue for ease & speed. I find some text gets dropped at the end of drag or copy sometimes. I find for myself this hardware is much faster than the old mouse. Hope that helps you.

I've had two Logitech M500s. The second one purchased in 2014 is definitely easier to use the middle mouse button. On the first mouse, it was too easy to accidentally press the Left and Right Scroll buttons on the mouse wheel when trying to use the middle mouse button. The second mouse is significantly better.

No, it is nothing like the Apple mouse. It feels very light & flimsy and has a single scroll wheel. I bought it for my wife who didn't want to use it after seeing it, so that's about all I can say.

"The mouse is always more in less in the same place, and sometimes it will be fine for a number of days, then everything locks."It could still be interference. Day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute, bring variance to an electronuc environment, even in "more in less the same place." Do try clearing your mouse area and a two-foot circumference of electronics.Of course, in the last year, surely your issue has been settled. I post for others with this issue....

Not really, it moves the cursor and left/right/scroll buttons click but no further customization. Logitech has some decent ones that provide mac drivers and you get to use/map the extra buttons. I have a second one of these at home now since I switched to a mac at work and swapped to a logitech. Shrug, great mouse but only worth it for windows.

I no longer use it as it interferes with my mobile phone that are all over the house. Back to the old mouse. That said, I loved it, batteries didn't last long, as I kept forgetting to turn it off. Check with your phone or other devices to ensure that they don't knock each other out. My phone would have to be 50' away from the computer and not an option, as it's my office. HOpe this helps.

Hey there, OK this is from the info that came with this unit..... " The type of hand-held intelligent mouse resolution is adjustable, due to the 2 usages, so the mouse designed four group DPI. The higher value of DPI, the faster movement of cursor. The resolution of mouse factory default is the trackball 600 DPI, use on table 1200 DPI. Use a toothpick, inserted the DPI hole to adjust. Press once for green light for 600 trackball, table 1600 DPI. Press again for red light, trackball 800 DPI, table 1600 DPI. Press 3rd time for red and green light for trackball 400, table 1000 DPI" So, it is adjustable, you can also use a paper clip unbend, there is a 1.5mm hole on the flat side to adjust the speed. I haven't used it in a while, but I just happened to recharge and use it, just before i read this email, funny hahaha It takes a little time to get used to it, but I love it. As I said in my review, It does get very warm while charging, so keep an eye on it when you do.... I hope this answers your questions, Good Luck, Happy Holidays K

i'm jumping into the conversation here, anybody find a solution for the delay/slow middle mouse button reaction? I need a double-middle click for CAD, this mouse is not cutting it. It is replacing my 4 year old MS Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - excellent btw, just worn out. Was hoping the 3500 was the same mouse, just with BlueTrack.system is brand new, 8g ram etc, drivers new, so performance of the system shouldn't be a factor...

My mouse pad sits on top of a glass top which used to leave my wrists red and painful after half an hour of typing or using the mouse. Now I can use the computer for four hours without a problem. It is no softer than any other mouse pad, but for some reason, the coverage makes a huge difference. Maybe it's because there's less picking the mouse up and moving it back to the center, like with a normal mouse pad?
