"What's In The Box?" section shows new version but for sale is an old one. So what's really in the box? Are we getting a warranty for an old mouse?

given that I have both old and new versions of this mouse (yes the cosmetics differ very slightly, but operationally they seem to perform equally well - at least they have for me) they both come with warranties. of course in the highly unlikely event that it gets sent in for service you may receive a new or reconditioned mouse in return and I'm guessing you'll get whatever is on hand at Logitech, be it new or old style. It isn't like this is 20 year old "new-old-stock" - it s a current model.

You can't be sure. I ended up returning the product because they'd sent me a new version (which is sold everywhere much cheaper). It was a third-party supplier, so you'd better talk to them and clarify everything first - amazon isn't responsible for their mistakes, but did accept a return without any delay though.

Elias, mine was delivered as advertised (old version) and came with a warranty. I would buy another in a heart beat - this is the best mouse I have ever used and I have been computing since before mice were available. Great buy at double the price.

Well, I paid for a *NEW* mouse and I am certain that I received a *NEW* mouse. It is false advertising to claim the product is 'new' and then send a 'refurbished' product. As far as what's in the box? Well there's the mouse, the blue tooth dongle, a small booklet and I think a CD for advance features. I love the mouse - best one I've ever owned. It's got a nice heft to it and it works flawlessly.

I do not always check my email and if there is someone else who has already answered disregard this response. If it is the pen I would only assume a new one needs to be purchased because attempting to fiddle with it can be frustrating. But is it only the mouse function? Because if it is both the mouse and drawing function I would just buy another one but then again it could even be the pad.

This is probably because the shotty wiring in the mouse and it not fully connecting. You can file a complaint and easily get another one. Unfortunately no matter what you do you won't be getting your money back though.

Has to be a misprint. I've never seen this mouse run $200. Theres really not much more a mouse can do than this one at $30

My physical laptop shows it as a generic mouse. My virtual desktop (VDI), which I use to log in to work, shows it as a "WiebeTech CRU Mouse". Unfortunately, if anyone looks it up by that description they will see that it is a jiggler mouse.

Mine was not new, it is refurbished. But this was included in the item description. It did come in original box packed professionally and securely. It works great and its hard to believe its not brand new.

Because Logitech hasn't made this mouse in almost 6 years, and it's an AMAZINGLY popular mouse. Also are you certain the one you saw in the store was a G5 and not the new G500?

This sucks so big time. What on earth is Logitech thinking? I just spent hours scouring user reviews and finally settled on the Logitech Optical Marble Mouse as ultimate mousing heaven. I have two XP Pro machines, sure, but I wanted it for my new Vista w PVR. How hard can it be for them to update it? Or is this another one of those plots by Microsoft to try to kill the competition? Ugh, if so. Or, more hopefully but ugh as well, do they simply want to issue a new version for Vista to create obsolescence and thereby increase sales ? Anybody know?

I bought that same mouse and I really like it. I'm not a mouse expert, but I game with it and haven't been disappointed with it at all. I've had mine for about 7 months or so.

It only has a USB but you can get a USB to the Old round connection if you still want to use your old mouse. Get it at a major computer store.

I did receive all those items except for the mini optical mouse. Unless I have it and do not know what it is..that is also possible. Great condition though.

Our mouse did not hold up either. My other Cat 'N'Mo0use was over 12 years old before the mouse disintegrated like this one. I can't figure out how to replace it either.

30 days manufacture warranty and is no longer support also by SteelSeries corporation since 1 1/2 year ago. Lat time I spoke to SteelSeries was in September and they have no plan to upgrade any drives or remanufacture the mouse.

This mouse came out / was designed before Unifying; it does not work sorry. Their warranty is awesome and I didnt expect it but they stand by it if within the range, happened to me with one VX as well. No fuss on the warranty return process for a comparable/better mouse.

It very well could be the mouse but before you get a new one change the mouse pad that the mouse sits on. Sometimes they become rough and worn although you can't see it. That would slow it down. I have had other instances where my computer was not working properly at all and as soon as I changed the mouse, PRESTO! everything worked fine. Sometimes they just go haywire or get corrupted in some way. A simple little think that can cause some major distress.

I checked the paperwork that came with the mouse, and apparently, it is 2.0. I forget whether it came with a box or bubble wrap, though I seem to recall a box. It comes with a driver that allows you to assign functions to the keys, but the driver slows the mouse down so much that it is uncomfortable to use. I have been using it without the driver, and I really like it that way. The side buttons will page forward and back on webpages. I have found wireless mice to be unreliable in the long run, so this one is a good deal.

The older version is great, loved it!! Battery life was phenomenal.. lasted months! I upgraded to the new version only because my old one broke. That said, the newer version is also great, extra buttons are very useful esp. if you use it for 3D modelling, but the battery life is not as good as the older version. Stock up on AA batteries, especially if you never turn the mouse off. Using the mouse daily, you may get a few weeks of battery life. Switching the mouse off at night will extend the life a bit tho.
