Product Description
Think about it. If you spend more than eight hours a day using your computer, you're spending more than eight hours a day using your mouse. Don't you want to be as comfortable as possible? Now, you can.

 An excellent mouse (and it should be at this price!) October 23, 2008

Every now and then I sit down at someone else's computer and use their mouse and keyboard, and think "Whoa, that's an impossible mouse, and a really loud, uncomfortable keyboard. How do you stand that? How does anyone else in your office stand listening to you?" The point being, I appreciate having a good mouse, and am always a little surprised that people seem unaware of how much difference it can make.
To me, the most important issues are ergonomics and noise. The Logitech MX1100 is a full size mouse, not the biggest I've ever used but up there. It's a comfortable shape, the buttons are where they should be, and they feel right. And there aren't any annoying buttons where they shouldn't be, that you click by accident all the time. Though I'm not a big fan of the clicking noise that the right and left mouse buttons make, I'd prefer a little less - I can tell from the feel and the screen whether the mouse clicked, or not.
I really like the ultra-smooth, silent mouse wheel. (Though if you prefer a wheel you can feel click/roll, you can change it using a button near the wheel!) Maybe there are people who scroll through hundreds of pages at a time, I don't know. But luckily the hyper-fast scrolling works well even within a regular web page - it's quick to get to where you want to go in the page.
The hidden thumb button is a bit loud and does take pressure. I prefer that, since it's not too easy to trigger - but I can see how some might feel otherwise.
Personally, I'm less concerned about features - the number of buttons and controls on a mouse - because I use multiple computers, and unless I had the same mouse on all of them it's not really worth my time to learn how to use them all. But for someone who spends a lot of time doing complex work (or games!) on one computer, I can see how the features become much more important. The high resolution feature alone might make this mouse of interest to those who need it.
Though in case you didn't know - this mouse, and most others, can be used on Windows XP without installing the software. Just plug it into a USB port. You can't use all the features, but you can use many of them. So if you want to use the mouse without the software, for any reason, or move it around to use on another computer, you can (up to a point).
I haven't noticed any issues around the fact that the mouse uses 2.4ghz signal to connect, in terms of interference with or from another device.
The part you plug into the USB port is nicely smaller than usual, and doesn't have any annoying blinking lights like some do. Nice.
There's a manual Off switch on the bottom, which is a nice feature IMO.
I much prefer that this uses AA rechargeables - I've got lots of Eneloop rechargeable batteries around, and would much rather swap in replacements every several months than have to worry about finding a place for a charging cradle and putting the mouse on it all the time. So one major reason why I'd prefer this over the MX Revolution. (Not to mention that I couldn't stand the thumb "wheel" on the Revolution.)
Add my name to the Logitech phanboy list - I've found their mice and keyboards to meet my needs much better than other brands. Also, they really do provide post sale support. I actually got through to a knowledgeable Logitech customer service rep when on of my keyboards stopped working, and he helped me fix the problem with a secret reset sequence. (It was a big contrast from all the other computer and accessories companies, like Compaq and Dell, who seem to waste your time endlessly, and never manage to help.)
This is really more mouse than most people need, but it is really nice. There are some nice refinements from earlier versions.
Second best mouse money can buy October 21, 2008

I must start this review by saying that this is the SECOND best mouse money can buy in my opinion....
The best mouse money can buy is still the Logitech MX revolution which is actually cheaper than this right now.
I've been a Logitech fan for many years. Every time they invent a fancy mouse I must buy it. I am a sucker for fancy high tech gadgets. By now I own (2) MX revolution, (3) VX Revolution, (1) MX Air, (1) G9, (1) VX Nano, (1) V470 and the list continues. (I know, I have issues :-)).
This mouse is nice built like all the high end Logitech products. Is very similar to the MX revolution with the following differences, which I consider, CONS:
1. The battery is not built in like the MX Revolution which comes with a charging cradle. The MX1100 works with (2) AA batteries. This can be a good thing in the long run but is annoying to keep changing the batteries. Another reviewer made a comment about the MX 1100 battery life, but I cannot comment on that yet. The box claims 9 months which would be amazing if is true.
2. The mouse is bigger than any other mouse I have. I prefer a normal size mouse but a person with large hands might appreciate this.
Now the other differences from the MX Revolution that I consider as PROS are:
1. The center wheel acts as a button only. On the MX revolution it toggles between the fast scrolling mode and the normal mode. On the MX 1100 they provided the button next to the wheel for that. I think it works better than pressing the wheel. The other good thing about it is that is as smooth as the MX Revolution.
2. They added a thumb button. I don't see myself using that but is nice to know is there.
I will rate the MX 1100 4 stars only because I still like the MX Revolution better but that is just me... Before spending that much money on a mouse I suggest stopping by a retail store and get an idea how it feels in your hand...
These are my 2 cents...
`twas the month before Christmas November 4, 2008

`twas the month before Christmas
And all through the house
There were two creatures stirring -
Just me and my mouse
As I opened the package
I noticed with glee
That the mouse could be freed
And set up easily
Five minutes or less
Was all that it took
To download the software,
Now let's have a look......
First off, this is an expensive mouse, so if you only use the computer to check e-mail and surf the occasional site, you really don't need to splurge on this, except of course if you're going for that professional look.
Next, if you're looking for portability and your laptop bag already fits your laptop rather snugly, you might want to choose a smaller mouse, as this Rubenesque babe will definitely need space to stow her curves. I think it's better suited to a desktop machine. If you like a smaller mouse for toting around the place, or if you have small hands, you may want to try the Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks instead.
Fit wise, it suits a medium to large hand pretty well, and the buttons are well placed for a right hander, except for the back and forward buttons which will need some thumb flexing practice before you can get used to it.
Feature wise, it has the same hyper-fast and precision scrolling options like some of the other Logitech models, except that now there's a separate button for choosing the settings. The same scroll wheel can be used to move horizontally across documents (like big spreadsheets). You can also adjust the sensitivity using the plus and minus keys on the top left hand side of the mouse.
There's also a cool "hidden" button within easy reach of your thumb that helps you to switch between application windows. With XP you get a rather boring pop up list of your open windows, but Vista makes it possible to have your windows shown in 3D view, and you can use your arrow keys or mouse to choose your next destination page.
Another plus for me is that it uses two regular AA batteries, and has an indicator light that turns red when you have but one week of battery life remaining. I already have far too many chargers and cables and other thingies to be able to keep track of them all, and I really don't need another one to add to the pile.
Overall, this is a good mouse with features worthy of the price, but a bit on the large side. Recommended for right-handed professional desktop computer users.

Best Mouse for the Mac October 3, 2008
D. DeMeo (MA, USA)

I bought this as a replacement for the "mighty mouse" that comes with the mac. This mouse is better than I could have expected! It's a bit on the heavy side and feels very sturdy. The contours are very comfortable for me, which is the main reason I needed a new mouse. I tore the ligaments in my wrist a few years ago, and it hasn't been right since. A comfortable pointing device is imperative. I used to use a trackball, but didn't like the lack of precision.
Some key features that make this great on a Mac:
* The mighty mouse can simulate a 2-button mouse, but not well, sometimes it thinks you're left-clicking when you right-click. The MX1100 has 2 legitimate buttons.
* You can still click on the scroll wheel for dashboard.
* The scroll wheel tilts for side scrolling. (Something I love about the ball on the mighty mouse, and didn't want to give up.)
* The scroll wheel is very smooth, and doesn't easily get clogged with dirt and stop working like the scroll ball on the mighty mouse. You can also press a button on the mouse to switch between smooth scrolling (you can give the wheel a good spin and scroll through the longest pages quickly and easily) and precise line-by-line scrolling.
* There's a "stealth" thumb button that can replicate squeezing the mighty mouse to bring up expose.
* Easily switch between high and low mouse sensitivity by pressing the toggle switch on the mouse.
* Browse web pages with the back and next buttons on the mouse.
All those settings are enabled by default when you install the logitech software, so there's no need to touch the settings.
I haven't had it long enough to comment on battery life, although that's not a big issue for me and wouldn't effect how many stars I gave it. I'm using rechargeable NiMH 2700mAh batteries.
 Setpoint Error October 9, 2008

I currently have a Dell Laptop running Windows XP. I have tried to install the setpoint software and received an error message. "KHAL component not installed correctly, please reboot and reinstall again". Tried to reinstall the program a couple of times without success. According to Logitech's support forum, this error has happen to previous logitech mouse using a similar setpoint software. Not sure if it is a coicindence that the error normally appears for laptops. Finally installed into my desktop. The mouse works great if you can successfully install the setpoint software.
