![]() ![]() I'm a little pissed at Logitech for just putting this on 1 mouse and then never doing it again. The MX 1100 looks like a great mouse, but like the Performance MX, it has no thumb wheel. But everything else I do is pretty mouse heavy, especially Photoshop and just general getting around the OS, browsing, etc. SteelSeries also are very good and look more sober, the best are the Ikari and the Kai which has buttons on both sides.įor coding, I've only ever used VIM so the mouse definitely isn't applicable to that part of work. Imperator, Lachesis and DeathAdder (erm.) are prolly the best for work purpose. Razer makes great ones, if you can get past the garish look. Maybe there are a tad too many for comfort use, but they seem well sized and placed.Īnyway, gaming mice is the way to go if you want a good one, they are ultraprecise with great buttons and wheels. The G700 you mention seems very good, it has a very similar shape to the MX 1100, doesn't have the rubber button, but the other extra buttons seem much improved, they are tiny and difficult to reach on the MX. I see Logitech does the Performance MX now, which looks like an updated MX1100, with better buttons. It's out of production since long but you can find many still sealed on eBay for cheap. I like a lot the third rubberized button for the thumb on the side, while I've never liked the Revolution's side wheel. I have a Logitech MX 1100 that's still perfect after a couple of years. Nowadays I use mostly the trackpad since I really dig gestures with Better Touch Tool. Anyone else found a really good programmable (preferably wireless) mouse that helps you work faster? I'm going to head to the store this evening because I can't get much work done with my MX Revolution now limping.īy now you should've got some mouse already, but I couldn't resist - I confess I've been a bit of a mice nerd in the past ^^ Since we all do similar work here, I'm guessing we have similar needs for this kind of stuff. Not OS X compatible, but again the SteerMouse app would let me program it. Now looking at Logitech G700, which is technically a gaming mouse (I'm not into games) but seems to provide all the programmable buttons I would need. Though it's still tempting because I can use the SteerMouse app to get all the button actions I need out of it (though with gestures rather than buttons). Looked at getting an Apple Magic Mouse, but sounds like this mouse is great to look a pain otherwise. So this Performance MX seems to be out of consideration. Unfortunately that mouse has no thumb wheel, which reduces the number of button actions by 3 for me (I use the wheel to handle all of the OS X Expose window stuff, and am totally dependent upon it). Instead, they've replaced it with something called the Performance MX (same price, less features). I went to go buy a new one, but found out they no longer sell it. Apparently this is a known issue and just means the mouse is done. it's outputting double and triple clicks when it should do single clicks, causing all kinds of unintended problems in my workflow. My Logitech MX Revolution mouse is on it's last leg. ![]()
