2nd yr, 2nd Anywhere MX mouse failure.
By Leland Chew
Like the other users experience that over a short period of time down the line, the mouse will be making phantom double clicks which can result in some unexpected consequences. In Excel, it's opening up opening up formulas that it should not. In email it's sending messages before I intend. You drag & drop files to unintended/unwanted folders. The Logitech Anywhere MX mouse has become a business liability to me. I've called Logitech for a 2nd time in as many years. They won't acknowledge a widely documented issue as a design flaw. They offered to send another replacement once I send in my 2 bad devices. But instead I opted for another unifying laser mouse. Hopefully it won't become a liability too. I'm finding out that indeed the lowly computer mouse needs to be a finely tuned, accurate & reliable device.

Logitech Took 2 Steps Back - Comparing Old and New Versions
By Miguel C. Rodriguez
I uploaded some photos with notes comparing the Old and New versions of this mouse.
Just click the photos to view them all.

I will let the other reviewers speak on the details about this mouse in full.
This review is about how the New shiny/glossy body style is completely different from the Older version.
It is the only thing that has changed in my opinion.

Reason for Docking 1st Star - Gloss:
The Old version did not have a glossy or rubberized coating that wears off with use. Its plastic had this dull, yet high-grade, feeling to the touch that allowed your skin to breath for extended use without sweating.
The New version uses this plastic that is so smooth it looks nice, but in use it leads to sweaty hands and a very cheap feel. It's very smudge prone and kinda gross if you share it with someone who has sweaty hands.

Reason for Docking 2nd Star - Price:
When you make something better, you can justify the increase to the price.
When you make something lower-quality, you can sell it at a cheaper price.
Make something lower-quality and add to the cost? = Fail.
The New version currently costs almost $10 more.

Packaging:
So where is the justification in the price hike?
To offset the cost of retail packaging I guess, because it wasn't used to make the product better.
The retail packaging on this thing was ridiculous because it included a bunch of thick high-grade plastic to hold the mouse and receiver to give it a "pop-out" effect inside the package.
What a waste of materials and money that goes straight into the trash.

Even the case that comes with it is made of slightly different materials compared to the Old Version.
This results in a pouch that, again, is cool, but when you compare it to the Old version you can tell the materials are inferior here too.

I'm lazy and don't like returning things, so I gave the mouse to my sister and ordered the Old Version.
Buy them up while you still can. Everyone uses them around my office because it is a superior mouse.

Update - 10/21/2012

I noticed they changed the names of these two mice.
I looked back at my previous Amazon email confirmations and found that:
"Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX - Old Version"
is now called "Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX - Matte Black".
"Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX for PC and Mac (910-002896) - New Version"
is now called "Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX for PC and Mac (910-002896) - Gloss Black".

The price has also fluctuated and now the Newer model is cheaper than the Older one (most likely due to the older one's stock getting closer to selling out).
I have purchased another Older one to keep as a back up before I can no longer get one (I go through mice pretty fast because I'm a heavy user).

Due to the change in name and price I have added back the 2 stars I originally docked.
Now the user knows exactly what they are getting. Thank you Amazon/Logitech.

Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX
By D. Bannister
For the last year I have been using the Microsoft Touch Mouse. I enjoyed it very much however it began to have issues lately so I thought it was time for a change. I liked the mouse but would not re-buy it. Gestures were fine but, for me, basic buttons work best. So I discounted the both the Logitech Touch and Pad devices. Instead I went with the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX.

The Pros:
1. Ergonomically it is very nice. It is a medium-sized mouse and fits in the hand very well.
2. Good weight. You know you have something in your hand but it doesn't weigh you down.
3. Moves very nicely on all surfaces. There are four pads on the bottom which facilitate easy movement.
4. Reception from computer to mouse is very good and there is no lag or skipping.
5. The Application Switch button works very well. One push and all the applications open on the screen find an empty space and you can select a new open application. It works very well. Much better than the four finger gesture required by the Microsoft Touch mouse.
6. Left and Right button play. The click is noticeable but the button travel to click is near perfect. As it should be because Logitech has been in this business a long time.
7. Tracking is good (some issues - described below) and the SetPoint software let's you customize the mouse to an acceptable extent.

Could be better:
1. I find gross tracking is very good. However fine tracking i.e. placing the cursor exactly can be fiddly. For some reason I have also found this to vary from application to application. Google Chrome is especially fiddly.
2. The scroll wheel: When you use it normally I have noticed what I can only describe is a jump up at the end of the scroll. It is like after the final click the scroll wheel says - 'no I'm not stopping quite yet. Just a half click further. There!' Again it is inconsistent and depends upon the application.

When you press down on the scroll wheel and click it you get the smooth scroll which is very quick and very jumpy. It is useful for long web pages but I do not keep the track wheel on this setting as a default.

Overall I am pretty pleased with the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX and would recommend it for purchase.

Almost perfect
By Mani Arabi
IN SHORT:
I use this as a WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL for itunes and media players as well as for gaming. The receiver, when plugged directly into your computer, tends to have issues with interference unless you are very close; this is resolved easily by using the expander and placing it away from sources of interference. Overall, a fantastic controller and (almost) fully programmable although some minor setbacks exist.

PROS:
-Can program different commands for EACH program! I use this gamepad as a wireless "remote" for iTunes, my media players, etc when I am away from my computer. (I output to my tv so this functionality is VERY useful)
-Programmable (EXTENSIVELY)
-Force Feedback
-Supports XInput and DInput (XInput = new standard, "auto detects" game settings; DInput = "old" standard; use this mode to program the buttons.
-Nice solid feel, buttons are crisp
-Good range, IF clear of interference (see cons)

NEUTRAL:
-When in DInput mode, it IS the rumblepad2 (or whatever Logitechs old "famous" controller was).
-In XInput, it detects as the F710 and is not programmable. (Must use the DInput to program)

CONS:
-Range suffers drastically from interference. When plugged into my pc directly, the signal failed when I was 3 feet away. However, I used the extension (that comes with it) and put the receiver on my desk and it works flawlessly from over 20 feet away in my kitchen now.
-Not all programmable functions seem to work right. In particular, I set the L/R triggers to CTRL+Up/Down in Itunes so that I could alter the volume. Although this works if bound to a different button, and the triggers work when bound to a different command, oddly enough the triggers would not work when bound to ctrl+up/down.

Unique Issue: I played "The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom" with this controller in Windowed mode and apparently windows does not recognize any input as going in. Don't get me wrong, the game worked fine, however every 5minutes my screensaver would kick in unless I moved the mouse or keyboard!! This has ONLY happened in this one game though so I am assuming it is a unique issue and not the fault of the gamepad.

Overall, highly recommended if you are looking for a gamepad for your PC; especially if you output things to your TV so you can use it doubly as a remote.

Logitech F710 - Steam Big Picture Controller Option
By Geoffrey Straubinger
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RTE2S9RU1IRG1 Quick review of the Logitech F710 Wireless Gamepad. I got this to use on a Windows7 PC with Steam (digital game distribution/library software) and their "Big-Picture" mode that can be used to play games on a TV or away from a tradition mouse/keyboard. Windows7 found the driver and installed it quickly with no fuss. Games detect this as a Xbox360 controller(tested with Borderlands2, Dead Island, Need for Speed and Blur), while the style is closer to a Playstation controller, the X Y A B buttons are closer to an Xbox controller and it works great in that regard(no extra setup in game needed).

Like:
-Back of controller had a nice smooth/soft feel plastic
-Buttons and Sticks have nice weight/resistance
-Windows7 Found the drivers and installed with no fuss, ready to play quickly
-Comes with name-brand batteries (2x AA) already installed
-Comes with USB extension cable to locate wireless receiver away from computer (I did not need to do this however).
-Games recognize it as an XBOX360 Controller, no setup/binding needed
-I have used it with a range from 3-6 feet with no issues
-Sticks have a textured rubber on the top that is really nice, feels great and fingers don't slip off.

Dislike:
-The buttons have a good feel but sound very plastic (loud click-clack sounds when playing)
-Package (plastic clamshell) is easier to open than some, but still a pain and easily cuts your fingers on the edges
-Has an 8-way dpad but while UP-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT work great and have a nice feel, NW/NE and SW/SE directions take some work to get right and have it actually register...almost feels like it is only supposed to be a 4-way dpad (not a big deal for me as my games mostly use the sticks).

Next generation PC controller
By Sukru Tikves
This new Logitech game controller is a natural evolution of my Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2. While the older model was mimicking PS2 controller style, F710 is a blend of current Xbox 360 and PS3 models.

The overall build quality is what's expected from a good Logitech product. It feels sturdy and heavy enough, while provides comfort with soft plastic grips. The buttons and sticks are responsive, and miniature wireless receiver is a great plus. My only complaint is that the controller is slightly small for my hands, and I'd prefer Xbox 360 Controller as a better fit.

However the major feature in this new F710 model is neither the programmable buttons, nor the great looks, but the ability to emulate both older controllers and the Xbox 360 wired controller with the flip of a switch. If you've a collection of both older and newer games, you'll know my pain. Most Games for Windows titles would only accept the Xbox 360 controller as a keyboard alternative, on the other hand that would not work with slightly older ones (like the original Prince of Persia trilogy). Then you'd have to switch controllers every time you switched between the games (keeping them both plugged at the same time - unfortunately - causes more issues).

Thus, if you leave your PS3 or 360 from time to time, and come back to the PC, you'll find yourself at home with F710. No more switching controllers between games!

Pros:
+ Xbox 360 emulation on the fly
+ Ease of installation (default drivers on Win7 works)
+ Good ergonomics
+ Small wireless receiver
+ Responsive controls

Cons:
- Slightly small for larger hands
- Analog / digital pad placement (I find the 360 way more natural)
