  Great mouse when it works. Software bugs cause problems

  by someoneforcnetwillo on January 23, 2010

  Pros: This mouse works extremely well when it works. Like the posts before me, which might just be self-promoting ads for Logitech. However, mice have software, and that has to work well too, which in my case seems not to be the case.

  Cons: Yesterday my mouse worked great. Today, I cannot drag desktop items; i.e. hold down the left mouse button on something and move the mouse. Strange, the left mouse button works. I can click anything with it. The mouse cursor moves when I move.

  Summary: So the left mouse button works, and the mouse cursor moves, but not in tandem. I cannot, for example, select a block of text with the mouse. Apparently the Logitech ...

  Summary: So the left mouse button works, and the mouse cursor moves, but not in tandem. I cannot, for example, select a block of text with the mouse. Apparently the Logitech forum for customer support is not very clear on the subject. For example, there is a Troubleshooting page for the Anywhere mouse that has a Download link that is broken. Sounds to me like a chop-shop of H1B Visa Hardware and C++ software engineers that have little or no marketing, sales, or quality control department. I've worked in them before. One CEO big man at the top demands that the engineering team ship on a specific date and forget quality control, we're gonna ship! No one on the team wants to be the messenger that gets shot, so "Sure boss, we'll be ready". A real company would have hired an outsourcing quality control company to preview their site periodically or have software that scans for broken links. It will probably be fixed by the time you read this. But here the URL that lead me to the "Oops page - this is not the page you are looking for". http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/428/5846&cl=US,EN?section=downloads

  This mouse sucks with a vengeance.

  by garylape on February 1, 2013

  Pros: Looks cool.

  Cons: I am not going to try a third Anywhere Mouse even if it is free.

  Summary: This mouse sucks with a vengeance. I sent the first one back and the second one is going in the trash. The mouse pointer randomly jumps around the screen. The mouse randomly closes my open pages as I am working on them. It randomly jumps around an open Excel spreadsheet as I am working on it, a real bummer. It randomly jumps up and deletes the E-mail I am currently reading. The mouse randomly opens programs as the pointer moves across the Win 8 screen. I have custom made mouse pads (to protect my wooden desk surface) and this mouse does not like a white background; some days the pointer will move and other days I have to move the mouse next to my keyboard and use the brown desk protective pad as the background.

  This mouse will eventually break down on you. Don't buy

  by rfarrow22 on December 29, 2012

  Pros: Works great, at first!

  Cons: Will break down on you, read below.

  Summary: This is my 2nd Anywhere MX mouse. The first one completely broke down after 3+ months of working perfectly. The mouse started to move on its own and became useless a few days later as it would move from one end of the screen to the other, all on its own. I quickly threw it away and bought another.
  
  As it turns out, my next mouse has starting acting up. This time, I am sometimes unable to click and drag files and objects as it seems like the button would let go mid-drag. It also jumps around and does not move fluidly as if it were skipping or going in and out of power. Needless to say it is driving me nuts and I will not be buying another Logitech mouse in the future.
  
  I thought this company made quality products and I paid extra for that quality. I won't be making that mistake again.

  Worst mouse EVER

  by carloscae on May 2, 2012

  Pros: It has a very tiny usb receptor and lots of buttons

  Cons: Unreliable scroll wheel at first then after 4 months it now is scrolling up constantly, rendering the mouse unusable. Logitech support not helping much.

  Summary: Avoid it at all costs. If you think an expensive mouse is a quality mouse, this is the definitive example of how wrong this thought is.

  Real nice features, even with a Mac !

  by Richard_Comeau on November 12, 2011

  Pros: Lots of options, accurate, works anywhere.

  Cons: Steel wheel too heavy for such thin axle. Drop it once, in the garbage can it will go !!!
  Looses big stars because of this.

  Summary: At this price, I was expecting something built for the road.

  Horrible lag makes video games (PVKII) unplayable.

  by RedViktor on November 1, 2011

  Pros: Seems to work really well in all other applications. Great tracking, excellent side-scrolling when it actualy works in Pirates, Vikings and Knights II.

  Cons: I purchased this mouse specifically for playing Pirates, Vikings and Knights II, a Half-Life 2 mod based heavily on melee combat. This game requires very precise control and timing. While I was in awe of the improved side-scrolling compared to my earlie

  Summary: Maybe my 1 rating was a bit harsh, but considering that I bought the mouse specifically for video games and it renders the games absolutely and completely unplayable, the mouse ...

  Summary: Maybe my 1 rating was a bit harsh, but considering that I bought the mouse specifically for video games and it renders the games absolutely and completely unplayable, the mouse is virtually useless to me. If the mouse and game worked smoothely together and it maintained its connection, as it seems to in other applications, I'd be in heaven! I nearly cried when I thought of how many hours I'd wasted with my earlier mouse's horrible side-scrolling when compared to the tight controls of the Anywhere MX. All the tight control in the world doesn't do any good when the mouse makes the game run in 1/2 second frozen chunks and doesn't consistently read your mouseclicks.
  
  Updated on Nov 1, 2011

  Okay, maybe my assessment was too hasty. I used the mouse in Team Fortress 2, also a Half-Life 2 mod, and it worked beautifully! I was completely happy and thrilled with its performance. Now I'm left to assume that inefficient programming is plaguing its performance in Pirates, Vikings and Knights II, a 3d party mod programmed by volunteers. Again, I'd give the mouse a 5 Star rating in TF2 and the other applications I've used it in so far. Apologies extended!

  Wireless mouse with Darkfield & Unifying technology.

  by shieldwulf on July 5, 2011

  Pros: 1)Comfy ergo shape. 2)Larger than average glide pads on bottom. 3)Choice of smooth or stepped vertical scrolls simply by toggling wheel. 4)Darkfield technology & Unifying technologies currently unmatched by others (i.e. Microsoft!). 5)Wireless.

  Cons: 1) More expensive than other similar featured products (Logitech & others). 2) Side buttons are only right hand friendly. 3) Requires installation of Logitech SetPoint software to configure and link up Unifying devices.

  Summary: Pair it with a large mousepad for maximum performance, and then with a Logitech Unifying compatible keyboard for the best wireless pairing and ergonomic comfort you can find. For example, ...

  Summary: Pair it with a large mousepad for maximum performance, and then with a Logitech Unifying compatible keyboard for the best wireless pairing and ergonomic comfort you can find. For example, I used it on a Sanwa A4 sized mousepad (http://direct.sanwa.co.jp/ItemPage/MPD-OP34-A4) and paired with a Logitech Wireless K800 Illuminated keyboard ... the level of comfort and overall user interface experience will blow away your idea of "wow, I used to think a mouse is just for clicking, and a keyboard is just for typing". Best wireless mousing experience yet. I can't say I have any significant fault about this device to rant, except the price is on the high side. So it's not on everyone's priority list. But if you seek the best peripheral interface experience out there, this Logitech device from its flagship range can't be beat.
