Any one purchase this yet. I am considering it, but at $70 I thought I would hold off and see what other thought.

I bought the logitech optical scroll mouse, but it is not the cordless one. I paid $29 from their website, could not justify spending $70 to get rid of the cord.

I am using it with an NT machine until my iBook gets here, it acts a little funny sometimes when scrolling (see this post), hopefully that is NT or the drivers and not the mouse.

The new form factor of the Logitech cordless optical mouse is quite appealing, although I must agree that the price is a bit of a deterrent. Has anybody bought it? Feedback, anyone?

I've got the cordless optical mouse from logitech and its great. Upgraded from a normal non-optical cordless mouseman. use shopper.com do find a cheap price.

I use the Logitech cordless optical on an iMac and it works just OK; the tracking is a little quirky. The button on the left side bottom is difficult to use. I have a MS Intellimouse optical on my G4 and it is much easier to use, tracks great and has an two buttons on the left side (Logitech only has one); all buttons on the Intellimouse are easier to use.

my mouse problem was driver related. I threw away the drivers and it worked great (even on NT and 2k!) - can't wait to use it with my new iBook when it gets here...

are cords that much of a problem? how nice is a cordless mouse? is it worth the extra expense?

I have the cordless optical trackball from logitech and it is awesome. Don't know how I got by without it before.

Cordless is great for presentations - they work from ten metres away. Also, you can have a DVD playing and turn the sound up without getting off the couch.

Ahhh......bliss.....

I know it's not the exact one you're talking about but I say go for it.

i used to have one of those (sold it with my ibook, ive got a promouse now). thats a great mouse. the driver for it sucks, but if you get that USBOverdrive program its all good.

well twas $160 AUD for me, and well and truly worth it. To sit in bed and control a movie/iTunes nice dark blue to go with an indigo iMac. The shape is something that really grows on you (rather you grow to it) and yeah, nothing but praise it also works in OS X rather seamlessly, while I was expecting nothing so it's bonus,

inputsprockets don't seem to recognise the wheel good though. and the drivers don't have the same functionality as the MS version. ^^

Cordless is totally justified when you are showing them something on the computer and you say "hold on a sec, lemme fix this" and control the mouse on the top of your head or your thigh (the head thing would probably work better if you were bald). Other than that, cordless is only a minor convenience, altough the battery thing might be bad (haven't had to replace them in the month I have had it).
