Logitech Performance MX Wireless Mouse (DISCONTINUED and Replaced by MX Master 2S)

I have been using this mouse for a week now and have not yet needed to charge the battery. I am 32 years old and work in an office. I have a laptop docking station at the office and use my laptop at home. I have been using this mouse a lot. 8 hours at work and about another 2 hours at home every day. I have used about 1/3 of the battery. This mouse uses rechargeable batteries and it is very smooth and comfortable in your hand. The page scroll wheel on top is very fast. It has a button you can click to change from a click based scroll like on a normal mouse or a smooth scroll, smooth scroll is like a wheel that keeps spinning and spinning. You can scroll down about 1200 lines of an excel spreadsheet when it is on smooth scroll. The only downside is I keep my two fingers on the left/right mouse buttons and I will bump the scroll wheel with it and it will move my place on a page. I normally always keep it on the click scroll, but the click scroll will still scroll through documents quickly just not as fast. You can also set up the buttons and customize then anyway you want to. The back forward buttons on the side of the mouse are really neat, I changed my setting to control my volume up and down since I am not really used to clicking a mouse to go back while on the internet. It also has a button where the bottom of your right thumb would be, I have it set to open all apps, like internet, excel and word and you can see everything you have open that way. You can even customize the left and right scroll wheel, what I did is if I am in excel and I have columns that are further to the right off the page I can click the scroll wheel to the right, just give it a little push to the right and it will scroll further to the right on my documents, the I can hit it to the left and it will scroll to the left, then I can roll the wheel down to go further down my document. It really is impressive having the ability to scroll up, down, left or right. Also you can customize the mouse ever further, you can make it app specific. You can set up certain functions for when you are just in excel or word or in outlook. You can have the clicks all do three different things depending on what program you have open. One thing I have set up in outlook is if I get an email and I want to google something that was emailed to me. All I have to do is highlight the word or words and click in the scroll wheel and my internet opens up to google with whatever I had highlighted being searched, yeah it is pretty awesome. It really is well built and you get every penny out of this, I did see some negative battery reviews on here and I have to tell you just dont believe them. The battery life is amazing. I feel like I will make it 3 weeks without a charge, and a full charge should only take 2-3 hours and you can still use the mouse while it is charging. Also I am a gamer, and this mouse is great for games. I think the weight of it is perfect, it works great for all those first person shooters.In closing I would say if you have the money and you are thinking about it, just buy it. You wont find a better mouse, whether you are a office employee or a web surfer or a gamer you will love it. Battery life is fantastic, everything about this mouse is amazing and to think it is just a wireless mouse. It really has changed the way I work and made things al ot easier on me.

What an excellent mouse. I've been using this mouse at work now for over a year. I love it. The mouse is heavy. Perfect. The feel is smooth and it just feels like quality.The battery life on this mouse is a bit disappointing. When I originally got the mouse I found that the battery might last 6 or so days. So you would start on Monday and get a low batter warning next Monday. This is assuming you don't use the mouse on the weekend like I did since this was used at work. I turned the mouse off everyday before leaving the office. But battery life was way below the 1 month Logitech mentioned.I did reach out to them and they did replace the mouse. I noticed the replacement mouse had an Eneloop battery. The old mouse had a different battery, I can't remember the manufacturer but it was not an Eneloop. Battery life was better in this case. Roughly 3 weeks but still below the 1 month I hoped for. I didn't bother Logitech about this because the mouse is excellent. I usually let it charge between lunch breaks so charging times weren't an issue.I cannot stress how amazing the scroll wheel is on this mouse. I now expect that any mouse I use can scroll like this one. I can switch from regular speed scrolling to super fast inertial scrolling at the press of a button. I don't coddle this mouse when using the button either. I just press it when I want to stop. Still works great.I loved this mouse so much that I got another one for home use. It's the standard I have for mice. My work mouse has a small grease spot from my index finger sitting on the same spot for over a year. And the logitech logo on the back of the mouse is fading. I look at that stuff with pride. This is a work mouse and it is excellent.I'm happy it works on glass. It is another feature I expect from mice. The forward and backward buttons are the buttons I use the most besides the obvious ones. I did program the Application switch button to the Start Menu for use with Windows 8. The mouse works great. I use it primarily in Windows but also use it on my Mac.I can't speak for how this mouse compare with the old MX because I did not have one. But I do recommend it whenever possible.
