I have been using Apple’s Mighty Mouse for years and overall i like it, but the constant problem with the scroll-ball. Well, it turns out, when the Mighty Mouse scroll wheel gets dirty, it stops being able to scroll down. Apparently, it’s a common problem, and there are like 1000 of solutions to this problem and i tried most of them.
The one working best it the Rub-Ball-On-Paper-Method, but cleaning the mouse is not what i want to do with my time, and lately i have been experiencing wrist pains and i think it’s due to the low flat design of Apple’s Mighty Mouse. I do have an old injury in my left hand / wrist. I’m not an orthopedist but i feel that my wrist get “tired” when using the mouse all day.
I’ve had many brands of mice, my last non Apple mouse Logitech MX Revolution was nice fit like a glove, and i loved the Hyper Scrolling wheel. I was just about to buy the MX Revolution when i came a cross an article about Logitech® Performance Mouse MX™ on some blog. And I was impressed by the specs. and the similarity to the MX Revolution. So i went shopping and i am now using my brand new Logitech® Performance Mouse MX™ and this mouse is amazing I love everything about it, they’ve redesigned the Hyper Scrolling so that you can switch it on and of, Hyper Scrolling or standard clicking scroll. And they added a thumb button which you can assign to any function.
Logitech’s new Darkfield technology makes possible to use the mouse on all sorts of work surfaces. A glass desk or shiny table shouldn’t stand in your way. I’m using my new mouse on my wood desk without any mouse pad and it feels so smooth. It’s a joy working in Photoshop and Illustrator with this mouse. The mouse comes with a exclusive pouch with a cable for charging while you actually use the mouse, no more dock like with the Revolution, and you also get a extension cable for the USB Logitech® Unifying receiver.
I must say I have never had one that felt so right in my hand. I used it on many different surface just to see if it would make a difference. It works great every time. This mouse is easily the best Logitech mouse I have owned.
