  Takes some getting used to September 30, 2008
I've been using Microsoft mice for years and this mouse feels very, very different. It might just be the driver software but it definitely tracks differently. The fast scroll wheel is great for long documents but sometimes it keep spinning after I've moved the mouse and I've inadvertently scrolled a window I didn't intend to. On the up side, though, there's a switch on the bottom to turn the fast scrolling off so I've been switching it back and forth on an application-by-application basis. Search button is great; I have it mapped to Google search. Mouse definitely feels sturdy and solid and I love the little tiny transceiver.

This is my second MX620 - I use one at home, and one at the office. It is responsive, smooth, and does NOT eat batteries. I highly recommend it.

I purchased this mouse to replace a Logitech MediaPlay mouse- I was looking for something that was as similar as possible. I used that mouse 9 hours a day for 4 years so it needs to withstand a lot of use. While I agree with other reviewers that the mouse is a little heavy, I don't mind- it feels solid in my hand and it's something I've already gotten used to in the week I've had it. I use the mouse on OSX and have had no issues on Leopard- I did not install the Logitech software and am using the standard driver. The search button does not work but all other buttons work perfectly and are customizable through System Preferences. The mouse is highly accurate and feels very similar to the MediaPlay. The scroll wheel takes some getting used to- I have found that the switch on the bottom does not have to be set to on or off, I have it in a middle position so there is some resistance but not a heavy 'click' as it scrolls- this is not documented anywhere. Overall I'm very happy with the product.
Don't like the search button, but overall Excellent! June 26, 2008

This is an excellent mouse. The shape is great and I love the Forward and Back buttons that you can push with your thumb. The only thing I don't like is the Search button near your fore finger. I tend to bump it by accident and a new browser window pops open. But that function can be disabled. Also, the extended battery life is awesome. I bought this a month ago and have not replaced the batteries. The mouse that this one replaced was getting so bad that it wasn't even a week for a set of batteries.
Overall, a really great wireless mouse!
Love the wheel, but it takes getting used to June 19, 2008

I really love this mouse.
I've had Logitech mice for years, and this feels as good as any Logitech I've ever used. I have fairly big hands, and some mice feel cramped. This does not. I don't notice it at all.
Some have complained about the weight, and it is a little heavy, but I find that to be a boon. It stays where I put it. I don't overshoot my target at all, and if I did, I'd probably just need to turn down the sensitivity.
I use a Mac, and have no use for the extra buttons on mice today. I just want a mouse with three buttons (left, center, right), and a scroll wheel. The fact that this scroll wheel also tilts left and right is another bonus. I don't even use the other buttons on the mouse.
My favorite, FAVORITE part about this mouse is the scroll wheel. I have it turned to flywheel mode, and this thing spins like crazy! I can get to the bottom of a long document EASILY now. I hate having to scroll, scroll, scroll to get down through a long document. Now I can just give my wheel a good spin and it takes me a nice long way down the document. Sometimes I find myself spinning the wheel just for fun.
That brings me to the thing that takes getting used to, and why this only gets four stars. The wheel likes to spin. If you even barely touch it in passing, it'll start to spin. I have had to learn how to keep my finger on the wheel if I need to make fine adjustments, and how to lift my finger off of the wheel so I don't inadvertently cause it to start spinning again. It's not a huge problem, but it just takes a little getting used to.
I find its accuracy to be top-notch, no issues there. I upgraded from a corded Microsoft mouse, and on that one I found myself often accidentally pressing the center key when I was just trying to scroll, and accidentally pressing the right mouse button. This Logitech has much more resistant buttons, which I personally find a huge improvement. I haven't accidentally pressed any of my mouse buttons once since I bought it.
The teflon feet look perfectly solid on this, but I have no doubt they'll eventually peel off. All mice seem to have this problem. To the reviewer whose feet came off in the first day, I don't know what to say. Mine have been fine.
All in all, a great, well-made product. Not too expensive, great features, and a nice-feeling mouse. I would definitely buy one of these again, even for my Mac laptop.
