These two pieces of technology result in near-perfect performance while I was testing it. When playing Unreal Tournament 2003, there was no noticeable lag. With the Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical, there was noticeable lag, and it was more difficult to play the game because of it. The amount of lag you will experience with a wireless optical mouse other than the MX700 will vary depending on the type of game you play. First person shooters will be harder to play due to the fast mouse movements required to play well. Other games, such as strategy games, will not show the lag as much. However, with the MX700, there was no noticeable lag in any type of game. While I was playing on a flat surface, the MX700 did not jump. Once I used the mouse on a mouse pad, I did notice it beginning to jump. It seems to jump on the screen when the mouse starts to go off the mouse pad. As long as I left it on the mouse pad (without it ever going off), or used it without a mouse pad, I did not experience any jumping.
In addition to the battery charger and the improvements in the internal technology, the mouse also boasts 8 buttons: Left and right, forward and back, scroll wheel button, “Cruise Control” up and down, and a program selector. The cruise control buttons enable you to scroll up and down faster than the scroll wheel would allow you to. (Some people have had problems with the scroll wheel; however, this problem seems to be resolved in the new version of Mouseware which can be downloaded from Logitech’s site. You can also adjust the speed of the scroll wheel in Mouseware.) The program selector brings up a list of currently open programs, enabling you to easily switch without using Alt-Tab. The forward and back buttons work similar to those on the Intellimouse Explorer. These are a welcome addition; on the Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical, it only had one button extra button on the left. Next Page: Conclusion |
