Logitech MX 610 Left-Hand Laser Cordless Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using right-handed mice for years, most of them 'ergonomic', which is to say 'carpal-tunnel-inducing for anyone left-handed'.This is the first left-handed mouse I've ever used, and it really is amazing being able to have all the nice ease-of-use functions right-handed users have had for so long, such as thumb buttons, a comfortable grip, and so forth.

The mouse itself took me a little while to get used to. I was using a Logitech G7 cordless mouse just prior, which had extremely fine-tuned response and tracking.The MX 610 doesn't possess quite that fine-level of granularity, but is still rather nice and precise; I only notice the difference when photoediting, where I'm a little less sure than I was before.However, the added comfort is a WELCOME change!

Battery life seems to be decent; I got about a month on the first set of included batteries, consisting of daily use for several hours usually.The MX610 uses 2 AA batteries rather than rechargeables.Some like disposables, some like rechargeables - I'm in the middle on the subject (I've liked and disliked both for various reasons at times), so it's for you to decide if this is a major attraction or detraction.

The MX610 lefty fits well into my (rather large) hand and both buttons are easy to use/press.The wheel is also easy to access, and extremely easy to scroll.As is the case with many current mice, it supports both vertical and horizontal scrolling, and the horizontal scrolling is easy to do (unlike on some Microsoft brands of mice).

The two thumb buttons for forward/backward web navigation are a little clunky to get to (they seem to be set up high, in my opinion) but I don't use them often.

This mouse possesses two light-up buttons as well - a blue button for incoming instant messages, and a green for incoming email.Both of them are extremely poorly-placed, almost on the top right corner of the mouse.Neither of them are particularly easy to access, either via thumb or index finger; I usually have to lift my hand off the mouse to get to them.As I mentioned, however, I have big hands, so your mileage may vary.

There's also built-in volume control up/down buttons just to the front of the mail/IM buttons.Those are slightly easier to click with my index finger when needed, but still a bit clunky.

As with most decent Logitech mice, all the extra buttons (mail, IM, volume, web navigation) can be reprogrammed to do whatever you want out of a variety of functions.

All in all, I find this mouse extremely worth the purchase if you're a left-handed user who wants a usable mouse that isn't a generic righty/lefty scroll mouse, and who wants to have some navigation buttons and extra goodies.The feel of the mouse is very comfortable, and overall it's definitely a quality mouse.Lefties finally get a break in the computer world!
