Not responsive and is laggy.
(1 out of 5) by Josh Bowers on Dec 11, 2008 (willits, ca USA)Just search the mouse and the word lag...
Anyone that requires detailed and precise movement will be very disappointed with this mouse. I read it's because of the new 2.4ghz signal they switched to.
I'm returning the mouse because it's not accurate at all and is pretty much useless for me. If your just using it for web browsing and you need an ergo mouse then I guess it works... If you need something accurate and responsive then stay away from this mouse.

Poor Rechargable Battery Performance
(2 out of 5) by nobody on Sep 27, 2009This mouse was clearly designed to be used with non-rechargeable batteries (which have a higher voltage than rechargeable type). It works, but it starts out with little charge and goes dead within a week. With normal batteries it shows full charge and goes dead in about 1.5 months. This is a serious design flaw.
The right click button is accidentally clicked way too easily.
The control and sensitivity are not very nice and take a long time getting used to. It is nowhere near as nice or accurate as the G5.

tiny delay is driving me mad
(1 out of 5) by Application Security on Jun 17, 2009I wish I did not buy this mouse because of the small but noticeable delay. This is not present in other high-end laser mice. I'm very upset, frankly. If I bothered to read the review and google around I would have noticed this was a known problem with this model.

Terrific silky smooth mouse. Adjustable DPI for Mac users.
(4 out of 5) by Navarro L. Parker on Dec 7, 2008 (San Diego, CA United States)I decided to move to the new 1100MX after using my Revolution MX for about a year. It's everything you liked about the Revo MX and then some. The gliding action is superb! And it's the only mouse I know of that lets Mac users switch sensor resolution on the fly. Using the +/- toggle on top of the mouse, you can set it for slow tracking for detailed Photoshop action or ramp it up for super twitchy game mode.
Probably the nicest thing about the mouse is the new "stealth button." It's a hidden switch underneath your thumb below the "back" button. It's great for Expose action! Logitech also removed the auto-transmission mouse wheel. There's now a convenient button to switch between "clicky" and "smooth" scrolling. I also like that this mouse takes two AA batteries, instead of the previous lithium charger. On the down side: the USB receiver hasn't changed. It's still too long for laptop users at over two inches long. Also, side-to-side scrolling is still miserably slow on the Mac (The Mighty Mouse's 360° ball is still superior)
PROS:
10 configurable buttons!
Super silky gliding action
On-the-fly sensitivity setting
Stealth Button
Easily replaced AA batteries
CONS:
Big USB receiver (no Bluetooth yet?)
A little big for small hands
Side-to-Side scroll still useless on Macs.
"Forward" button placed a too far north -- really have to stretch to reach it.

The best mouse I've ever used
(5 out of 5) by RG on Nov 15, 2008 (California)For the past several months I've been rotating between the Logitech VX Revolution and VX Nano. Both are excellent mice. The MX 1100 is better than either of them.
Pros
- Very comfortable. It fits nicely in my hand and I found the buttons to generally be within easy reach of my fingertips so that I didn't have to look directly at the mouse to find a button when I needed to use it. I use the computer all day at my job. So I'm constantly using the mouse for long periods of time. My fingers never feel cramped or tired from using this mouse.
- Runs off 1 or 2 AA batteries. It's kind of an odd feature, but it can run with only 1 battery even though there is a slot for 2 batteries. The included Setpoint software will also give you a battery life estimate. I'm not sure how accurate the estimate is, but it started at 284 days with fresh batteries.
- Feature-packed. This mouse has a scroll wheel that can switch between hyper-scroll and precise scrolling at the push of a button. In addition there are 5 other buttons that can be mapped to perform a variety of common tasks. Each button has a default task assigned to it, but you can change the task each button performs with the included Setpoint software.
- Acccuracy. As far as I can tell, the mouse is very responsive, moving exactly where I want. If you find the pointer moving too fast or too slow, you can customize the dpi settings to your liking through the included SetPoint software.
My gripes are very minor
- The button to switch between hyper-scrolling and precise scrolling is right below the scroll wheel. Sometimes it gets in my way a little bit. A better implementation would have been to simply click the scroll wheel to switch between modes (like on the VX Nano)
- It's a little big. Those of you with smaller hands might find it a bit cumbersome to use.
- A little pricey. For me it's well-worth the money. But if you don't spent a lot of time in front of the computer, you might try the VX revolution as a more inexpensive alternative.
- You need to leave the Setpoint software running to use some of the custom button-mapping features. It's not a huge deal since the software is really easy to install and starts up automatically when you start your computer. But it does use a small chunk of memory.
- It's right-handed only. Sorry for you lefties.
If price isn't an issue, you spend a lot of time in front of a computer, or you simply want the best, then do yourself a favor and get this mouse!
