Customer Reviews

Slim, sleek, more than a mini but less than a...
... large desktop mouse or those over-sized game mice that look like they were built on steroids. I bought this mouse for my new notebook. The mouse is slimmer than the pictures can show and with the rubber sides, it does have a very comfortable natural feel. The size fits my hand comfortably as well - I don't have to adjust to those all too small mini notebook mice. I like the 4-way navigation wheel (up, down, right, left) as well as the built-in zoom feature.

The forward and back page buttons are on the top which suits me just fine - I always hated having the buttons on the sides where I would often accidentally press them while browsing.

Installation could not be easier. Just insert the batteries into the mouse, plug the mini-wireless receiver into a USB port and you are in business. I like the fact that the kit also included a USB extendor although I don't think I will need it as the signal seems strong - mouse performance was reliable and accurate (1100 dpi). It responded as well or better than a corded mouse but without the dangling wire.

For full mouse function of the extra buttons, install the software (check the Logitech website for the latest version). I am also very happy that the software is mouse-pad aware so it did not create any conflicts - both the LX7 and mouse-pad work fine together.

Definitely would recommend the LX7 mouse without hesitation.

Update 2/12/06 - f.y.i.: the small battery indicator on the top is intended to light up only when your battery is about ready to run out of juice, otherwise you barely know it is there.

Great mouse, but it only lasts so much
I had this mouse for 1.5 years and absolutely loved it: it was perfect in my hand, the signal was constant, it was very precise and the batteries lasted forever. However, after many months the left button began to fail, becoming harder and harder to click -- something that bothered me especially when double-clicking. Probably the spring or some other moving part went bad; I read in another mouse review that these things happen, that mice only last so much. But it got so bad that I gave up on it. I then bought a Logitech MX610. Another great mouse but it feels bulkier in my hand, not as comfortable. Interestingly enough, I called Logitech here in Brazil the other day (I was looking for a wireless keyboard) and mentioned the LX7's problem. The guy told me that if I sent him the receipt, Logitech would replace it, since it has a 5-year warranty. Unfortunately, after such a long time I couldn't locate the document, but I'll probably be getting a new LX7 and keeping the receipt in a safe place!

December 2007: Despite the lack of a receipt, Logitech is replacing this mouse. They asked me to send it in so they could analyse it. I did. They came back to me saying that the mouse had a physical problem and that they would send me a new one. I was stunned! I know that even good products can just go bad, so I wasn't giving this too much importance, but Logitech's customer service blew me away.

Excellant for the price...
I happen to use the computer a decent amount, and I was get tired of using the cheap one-buttoned mouse that came with my eMac a horribly long 3 years ago. The wire kept getting caught onto the corner of my desk or some other annoying position, and I'm convinced it's haunted and alive.

So I asked someone for a good company to search for a wireless mouse that isn't going to skip around (That's all I heard about wireless mouses, "they skip around all of the time, dont get one!" so I was reluctant to buy one). I bought this one for 17 bucks refurbished, and I was shocked.
This doesn't skip at all, the little usb connector is tiny, and I think it has even smoother movement than my mouse with a wire... It also doesn't go to sleep randomly while you're trying to do something. It's got a nice amount of buttons, but not so much that you need a long list of each button's function.
The only complaints I have is that it's not VERY customizable with my Mac, such as using Exposé with the buttons, etc. (Edit-I would like to add that I got a Mac update and it now does work with Exposé fine.) But it has a good amount of features - such as one touch search - and I'm lucky it even lets me change the function of each button at all, anyway... It also makes it seem as if you can change each button's function in EACH different application, but that doesn't work either.

But that's fine, because any better of a mouse and I would have to pay 50 dollars more. This is well worth the price, and well worth your time. It's also better looking than in ANY advertised pictures I've seen. Buy it, if you're a nerd or if you're someone who rarely goes on but doesn't like their hand butchered every time they do.

It's comfortable, portable, and CHEAP yay
