I Have Been Searching For A Wireless Laser Mouse C
I have been searching for a wireless laser mouse controllable on any surface virtually.I was lucky enough to come across the Logitech MX700 wireless laser mouse with a reliable signal with 2.4 ghz digital connection,weighing 4.2 ounce sand most importantly with an affordable price of $35 to$40(online)
It is really advantageous for people like us who can carry it in our pockets or in a notebook bag. It is small but has all the relevant features of a desktop rodent.as i am a lefty so it has become advantageous for me due to its symmetrical design.I am a busy person and do not have any time for installing anything.This mouse gives me the advantage of just plugging the usb receiver to the port and use it.i can save power even wen i stow it in a bag as the USB receiver allows the mouse not to get turned on.
As i am very conscious about the looks of the gadget,i am relieved that it looks classic with a soft side grip and contoured shape,3 buttons,a power switch with an indicator.
But it is not large enough to fill my hands comfortably when in use and for that i would recommend a Logitech Premium VX Revolution.
Apart from it,this gadget does not sacrifice any quality that i should possess.i therefore would recommend it to all travelers who use public computers and people who demonstrate while walking because it even works when it is 13 feet away from the computer.

When I Bought My Logitech Mx700, I Was Looking For
When I bought my Logitech MX700, I was looking for something special and I wasn't disappointed, having previously used a Chic 1400 Wireless Optical mouse, I can honestly say that it does not even come close to the quality of this fine Logitech product.
Most other wireless optical mice are lucky to achieve 50 updates/second over RF, the clever people at Logitech have outdone themselves this time, the mouse averages 120 updates/sec. over what they call Fast RF, this speed is comparable to its wired counterpart the MX500, and results in exceptionally smooth tracking and motion.
This is a solid mouse, heavier than the MX500, but this was expected as it needs to incorporate the RF transmitter and house two AA batteries, it comes with two 1700mAh NiMH rechargable batteries, and the charger again, is the base station as well.
The base station is a work of art in itself, it has only one lead protruding from the back of it, power is supplied over the same lead as the USB, the USB connector which plugs into your computer has a DC power socket in the top of it, where the charger plugs in.
Power consumption is excellent, lasting 3-5 days on a full charge (during heavy use), perhaps longer under light use, the optical sensor powers down to a lower intensity when not in use, but soon kicks it back up when it detects movement, if not moved for a long period the sensor switches off. A click of the mouse button will wake it up.
The mouse has 5 buttons, the usual left, right, and middle/scroll wheel. Accompanied by Internet navigation back/forward buttons, which can be easily reassigned to just about any system function using the MouseWare provided. It has cruise control buttons, which allow controlled scrolling through long documents without having to keep scrolling the wheel constantly, just hold a cruise control button. Finally the Logitech fast application switching button, which I have never used, due to it A: being in a slightly awkward position, behind the lower cruise control key, and B: it's pointless, I can Alt-TAB much more easily.
Overall it was well worth the £50 I paid for it, and yes I'd buy another if this one ever dies, which I doubt.
The green light on the top? It does turn off in the cradle, when it's finished charging. If you charge it at night then you'll not have a problem will you...
You mentioned the flash which the mouse emits while placed in the charging cradle, however it does not stop flashing after a while, it slows down to 2 flashes a second. Which becomes v annoying especially if you relax in the same room and there is no way to turn this off, all you can do is leave the mouse out of the cradle which eats up the batteries as it's making contact with a surface, or leave the cradle powered which according to logitech's manual is dangerous!!! How dificult would it have been to just include an off button on the mouse itself! lazy.
