 Ergonomic, but not easy to get used to mouse - no software for MAC OSX June 9, 2007
M. Philips (Los Angeles, CA USA)

I have been experimenting with going over to a cordless mouse (Bluetooth and USB 2.4 Ghz) from a corded optical, but with unsatisfactory results. They seem to all have their quirkiness... I sent several of them back. They all claim precision but often are not so precise. I use a computer for my work practically 24/7, and great usable mouse is one that has the perfect balance of weight, gliding and user control. I find a good ol' $20 optical corded mouse more precise, more controllable, does what I want it do and go where I want it to go.
On the plus side this mouse feels great right out of the box. On MAC OSX it took me just plugging in the USB 2.4 Ghz transmitter and the mouse was on and working. Feels great ergonomically in the hand and it feels like a corded mouse at first... But! The MX 620 is quite heavy which takes some getting used to. I think the four little stubs on the bottom of the mouse are inadequate to give it enough gliding for such a heavy mouse. I kept overshooting targets like links, files, windows and such because I had to give it a push to get it going initially and then I overshot the target... I tested this repeatedly and after a few days I just couldn't deal with it.
One major disappointment so far is that the Logitech Control Center software on OSX does not support this mouse and therefore I can only use the left and right buttons and the scroll-wheel but have no access to or programmability for the other 5-6 functions of the mouse (as on Windows). It is clearly indicated on the support download page that they provide this software for this particular MX 620 mouse. Bad, bad, bad Logitech. It's advertised as Mac OSX compatible. I downloaded support software from the Logitech website only to find out that "no device is found" when I open the Control Center. Why is Logitech wasting my time? I not only had to download the software, install it and THEN restart my Mac, when I called Logitech's support phone number I was put on hold for a long time and then simply disconnected. Then I finally got someone on the line and had to unistall, re-install, restart several times to ultimately find out this software and mouse does not work on MAC OSX as advertised. (only with limited basic functionality.) Now that's what I call instilling trust in the customer and a "great customer experience!"
The final verdict: I sent mine back due to the complete waste of my time Logitech put me through by claiming it to be MAC compatible. In my book that is false advertising. All the time I spent with buying this mouse and trying to make it work I could have bought another mouse, instead of waiting for my order to arrive, finding out why it doesn't work, calling Logitech Tech Support, spending precious time on the phone with a support guy only to find out after downloading and installing, uninstalling, re-installing and restarting numerous times that this mouse is just not for me. Going to get another corded one!
 great mouse for the money October 6, 2007

No regrets on this purchase, have a had it a couple weeks after upgrading from a wired, optic mouse. I have Windows Vista and so far no problems with connectivity or access to the mouses functions. I think it's important to note that I actually went to a store that carried most of the mice I was interested in and was able to test them all out for overall performance, quality, comfort etc... this allowed me to actually feel what I was going to purchase (a concept some people don't seem to understand, why buy a mouse online with no idea of how it actually feels for you personally).
After trying the different mice I narrowed it down to Logitechs and eventually I decided to go with the mx620 over the revolution. Both felt very comfortable, but I actually found the 620 to be more comfortable overall (for me personally). Although the 620 doesn't have the rechargeable battery, thumb wheel, or the neat auto-shifting wheel gear of the mx revolution it does hold a charge for a much longer period of time (lower maintenance), it has thumb buttons that can serve a similar purpose to the wheel, and so far I still prefer the click to click style thumb-wheel anyway, as I personally am rarely scrolling through massive documents. Also, for me personally, if I am worried about work-flow and speed I'm usually using my wacom tablet instead of a mouse. Tablets allow for much faster point and click or ink and paint as well as giving the user a much more fine touch in general, they just take a while to master. This fact made the extra functions on the mx revolution less appealing to me. As far as other complaints on this mouse from previous reviews I would say what I said before; go to the store, try out some mice (or anything else that requires constant interaction for that matter), and talk to a knowledgeable sales clerk about any possible downsides, such as problems with a certain OS. This should make your decision much more obvious in general. Laser will feel different than optic also, it took me a while to get used to it, but now I prefer the laser.
I will say, however, that this mouse might not be for everyone. As with any mice that are different from what you previously used, it will take some getting used to. After using optic for so long the reaction times felt odd with the laser mouse, but after a week or so I came to prefer it. The thumb wheel's click to click function has much less resistance than your typical mouse. Once again, this felt odd at first but I now prefer it's smoothness and it feels like it strains my hand/wrist less. It allows me to scroll faster when I want, just takes more of a fine touch for slow, accurate scrolling than what I was used to. The little search button to the left of the left mouse button is kind of silly (though i found it makes a handy quick spell checker if you have a fast enough connection. just highlight the word in question then click with the little search button and your search engine will let you know if you miss-spelled it or not), but you can reset it to many different useful functions so who cares?
Bottom line >>> Good mouse for the price. I use it much more for general computer use and for programs like photoshop, aftereffects, video editing, and maya than i do for gaming, but it still works just fine for casual the casual gamer. Each button (except standard left and right) is reprogrammable and the logitech software allows for fine tuning of speeds, acceleration, etc. This mouse also had the weight, balance, comfort/ergonomics that I was looking for. I repeat; I only knew this buy going and trying them out for myself. There is no one mouse to rule them all, as everyone has different shape and size hands/wrists/fingers as well as different personal needs. So go out and try it on before you buy (just don't let the sales people at the store know that you don't plan on actually buying from them, duh).
 Don't buy this if you're using a Mac June 18, 2007

One would think that a Mac logo on a box would imply compatibility with a Mac, but Logitech thinks otherwise.
Upon plugging in the USB receiver, I realized that I could only point and click. Scroll wheel and the two left side buttons did not function at all. After installing the Logitech Control Center, the software didn't even recognize the mouse. Tried removing the USB receiver and plugging it back in, and the act of just removing the receiver gave me the gray screen of death: My Mac froze and crashed. Uninstalling and resinstalling the software did nothing and trying to remove the receiver again caused my Mac to crash.
I've always been a fan of Logitech mice, but this is just horrible. Only being able to point and click with a mouse? I can get more functionality from a ten dollar no-name brand mouse. I had high hopes for this mouse. Logitech: this is absolutely unacceptable.
 GREAT MOUSE WHEN USED CORRECTLY May 11, 2008

I don't usually don't take the time to rate products, but I really like this mouse and noticed that some others had problems with it while others loved it. Here's my bottom line on it:
1) DOES NOT FEEL CHEAPLY MADE -- to the contrary, feels heavier and more substantial than the previous Logitech corded laser mice I have owned; I have used it for 6 months or more and the feet are not coming off or anything like that. So I really don't know what other reviewers are talking about here, unless they are used to some kind of high-end heavy duty mouse or something. Looking at my mouse, it would take an effort to physically take the feet off of it, so I can't understand the "separating feet" comment either.
2) WIRELESS RANGE CAN BE AN ISSUE -- some of the other reviews mention this mouse has "jerky" behaviour. I had the same problem until I moved the USB receiver from my PC tower (which was under the desk) to a USB hub I have on my desktop that is closer to the mouse. So jerkiness is not an inherent problem with this mouse, but you DO need to be able to place the USB receiver module in close enough proximity to the mouse to ensure you don't have this problem.
3) WORKS GREAT WITH WINDOWS XP -- some reviewers had problem using this mouse with one of the MAC operating systems. I can't comment on this, but I had absolutely no problem or trouble using this with Windows XP. Was a seamless process.
4) GREAT PRICE -- I think $39 at Amazon is a great price for what you're getting here. Some of the other cordless mice are over $100, so logically these more expensive mice have to be better/more features in some respects or they are taking you to the cleaners! But this mouse meets all the requirements I have for a mouse.
Logitech Mouse With Lots of Features September 5, 2007

The MX620 is one of Logitech's newest mice and is loaded with features. This includes a fast scroll wheel, battery meter light and programmability for 5 buttons (although it has 6).
I use this mouse with a Mac and was skeptical of other reviews here which stated that the mouse could not be programmed with Macs. These reviews were posted before Logitech offered an updated download dated July 7, 2007. I downloaded these drivers and was perfectly able to program the mouse to perform keystrokes, open applications, etc.
One of the coolest features is that it has a "Search" button which lets you open your favorite search engine. For Macs, this is programmed by default for "Spotlight" but you have the option of changing it.
All-in-all a mouse loaded with almost all the bells-and-whistles you will ever need--even with Macs!
