Customer Reviews

Fantastic mouse!
I can't believe no one else has reviewed this mouse yet! I purchased the blue mouse, because well, blue is my favorite color. The MX 510 is fantastic- I love the placement of the buttons, and the auto-scroll buttons are especially handy in those situations where you have a very long document and the wheel button is too annoying to use.

The paint job on this mouse is amazing, no to mention that each paintjob is unique for every mouse. Overall, the mouse is surprisingly large, but it's comfortable and fits my hand well. Great buy!

So, I finally had a chance to test out the mouse. Wow, I used to use an old trackball, and this new one beats the living daylights out of it. It's TOO sensitive; in fact, I had to turn the sensitivity way down in order to shoot more accurately in various FPS games. However, I did not use the side buttons on the mouse for any first person shooter games because these can be hard to reach quickly during intense action moments. However, the big gain in accuracy and tracking is amazing; the fit and finish certainly doesn't hurt, and the mouse feels very solid.

I've been very happy with Logitech products, and this one is certainly a winner! For $40 by Amazon, what are you waiting for! Buy it!!!

Nice features, minor ergonomic issues
I purchased this mouse in blue to match my Saitek Eclipse keyboard, and I received much more than I expected.

First off, if you have always used a mechanical (ball) mouse, it's time to make the switch to optical. You don't need a mouse pad, it feels smoother, and there are no wheels/gears inside to clog up with grime.

Specific to this optical mouse:

--It has five semi-customizable buttons in addition to the normal buttons. I say "semi" customizable because you can set them only to a couple dozen pre-determined functions, including back, forward, cut, copy, paste, close, double-click, explore computer, find, help, maximize, minimize, minimize all, quick switch (from one application to another), run, start, and undo. You can also set a button to "keystroke," meaning ONE key, or control/alt/shift plus one key.

--Out of the box, the two buttons just above where you sit your thumb are set to browser back and forward, which I find to be quite handy. The "forward" button it a bit of a reach, but I don't use forward that often. I have on occassion accidentally hit the "back" button with my thumb, but that is becoming less and less frequent as I get used to the mouse. Two buttons above and below the scroll wheel are set to quick scroll up and down, which I find to be useless since it's no different than using the scroll wheel quickly. I have turned these off for now, because the top button is difficult to reach, and I am often hitting the bottom button by accident when trying to use the scroll wheel (it is VERY close). A button farther below the scroll wheel is set to "quick switch" between programs, which has the same effect as pressing Alt+Tab. I've changed this to "keystroke," and use it for gaming. (I should also mention that the claim that you can switch views "at the touch of a button" is deceptive. When you press the quick switch button, a menu appears with your applications. You must then click on the application to open.)

--There are indentations on the sides of the mouse for your thumb and pinky. The indentation for the pinky drove me insane for about a week, because apparently I do not hold a mouse the way that the designers do. I grip the sides of a mouse with my thumb and ring finger, which makes your ring finger run across the indentation quite uncomfortably. I have had to adjust my grip on the mouse somewhat, but I believe I am now used to it. I would recommend trying the mouse out in a store to see how it fits your hand before purchasing it online.

--The response of the pointer to your mouse movements is quick and precise.

--Stylistically, the mouse looks good and has a nice weight to it.

--The cord is standard length, but it is USB so it is easy to extend via a hub.

Overall, this is a great mouse, especially considering the price. I would try one out in a store if you can find one, but remember that you will probably adjust to anything that feels odd at first.

Awsome gaming mouse!
I recently bought this mouse to replace the optical mouse that came with my Dell PC. I wanted the extra buttons for playing World of Warcraft. The mouse is great - it's lightweight, moves well, and points and clicks accurately. It might be a little big for some women to use, but my hands fit a size medium or large womens' glove and the mouse isn't too big for me.

I love being able to map the buttons to specific uses in World of Warcraft. The up and down arrows on the side are now Target Enemy and Target Self; the top button above the wheel is AutoRun, and the others are mostly the default settings. I had a little trouble programming the buttons at first because some of the functions are based on the operating system, not the program, so I had to first change the side buttons to Copy and Paste, and then set Copy and Paste as Target Enemy and Target Self in WoW in order for the buttons to work correctly. The whole process of mapping the buttons to specific functions is really easy though.

I'd totally recommend this mouse to any gamer, web developer, or one-handed person (provided they still have their right hand). Yes, I did say "one-handed person"... I could seriously do my whole job with just this mouse if two of the buttons were mapped to copy and paste. Plus, how can you pass up a BLUE mouse? That's just awsome.
