Yes, this looks identical to my logitech wireless MX700 which I have had and used now for about 6 years. Love it. It comes with the wireless receiver which doubles as a holder/cradle for recharging it. It came with 2 rechargeable batteries and I still use it every day. In arriving at this one, I tried 2 others, one being the Microsoft wireless mouse. Didn't like the MS mouse for 2 major reasons. The buttons were like "light switches" to activate and click. Very heavy. Try clicking like that for 10 hours a day in a heavy ECAD environment !!!
The other big big problem was that the MS mouse went into low power/battery saver mode within 1 sec. it seems. So when I select a component to move in my ECAD program ( was using Mentor Graphics at the time ), then decide where to place it, by that time the mouse went into sleep mode so when I clicked to drop the part, the click was lost, being used to wake up the mouse. So ... do that all over again. 1 month later, out it went and have been very happy with the Logitech, which looks identical to your snap shot. Typical with Microsoft, all they are well in tune with is how they will all retire early with all the money they make on their stock options, instead of knowing EXACTLY what us ECAD users need & use every hour of every day. Basically, we just need a performance product, not something keen to go into hibernate mode which will just be collecting dust. Glad you are happy with it !!!

It looks as if you can program some of the side buttons to be "PgUp" and "PgDn" for the ability ro zoom in and out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Guralnick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel EDA Discussion List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 4:20 PM Subject: [PEDA] Mouse recomendation for Altium/Protel > Since the death of my last ball mouse, I've been looking for an optical > mouse which could at least track as good & follow my quick movements. > > Finally, here is the one: 'Logitech MX518 Gaming Grade optical mouse'. > > You can adjust the resolution in real time from 1600-800-400 dpi. with 2 > buttons, 1 above & 1 below the thumb-wheel. > Set the mouse sensitivity in windows low & use the varying dpi to adjust > speed. > It's sample rate is so fast that I have yet to see it ever make my mouse > pointer skip/jump no matter how fast and sudden I move it. > No drivers necessary, it takes Windows about a minute to see the mouse > when you plug it in for the first time. > > http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=835,CONTENTID= 10121 > > ___________________ > Brian Guralnick > Vergent Technologies Inc. > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > > ____________________________________________________________ > You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum > > To Post messages: > mailto:[email protected] > > Unsubscribe and Other Options: > http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com > > Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] > > Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] > > ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
