Logitech What the hell were you thinking?

Teaming up with eBay, musicmatch and real one. You're not making enough money with your hardware sales you need to ghey up your software with this crap. SHAME ON YOU!!!!
I was surprised to see them trying to ghey up my computer with the Setpoint software's additional software.
Not only that but the MX-1000 feels like a cheap kensington knockoff, the center mouse button is a pain in the ass to press because of the sloppy side scroll. This makes my tabbed browsing in Firefox a pain in the ass. The additional mouse buttons flop around and do not feel like a quality assembly. My MX-700 was a solid feeling mouse and is still after 3 years kicking ass. (
My Review)
I somehow don't feel that this mouse is going to last that long.
Man I'm loosing all respect for Logitech. I'm going to give it some time before I truely bash the hell out of it, but man am I dissappointed.

Yeah I should have went that route, but I assumed Logitech would WOW me with another quality mouse that would last me 3 more years. Glad the woman only paid $50.00 for it

ive been with some optical microsoft mouse for a good few yrs and can see it lasting a lot more
paid 25 bucks for it and works as good as new, the only thing thats wrong is that the oft in microsoft is a tad worn

Why not just bring it back where you bought it from?

I got it from newegg I'm going tokeep it and give it a chance it's quite comfortable and tracks very nicely, but the chessy buttons are pissing me off, I STILL CAN'T smoothly use center mouse to open a new TAB :icon33:
Setpoint is like the mousewares software, only it's called setpoint now.

Well I own an MX700 and MX510, love both. I only have the software installed on one machine, cause the wired keyboard win't remember that I hit the F-Lock key, the wireless one will. I am most pleased with my Logitech products, sorry the MX1000 isn't stepping up. I almost got an MX1000 till Soapboy said the issue he was having.
Altho I also owned a Razer Boomslang and was most displeased, it would hang up and hated doing vertical moves. Now the real pisser was that I was supposed to get this $80 mouse for free with my 5700 Ultra, but the rebate never came through.

Can you not just double-click the tab bar to open a new tab?

The box was relatively easy to open, getting the AC Adapter out took some skill they somehow weaved the cord so you have to take apart the whole box to get it out. I pressed in the INCLUDED Nicad Batteries and spent a good minute searching the base for the location to plug in the AC Adapter, only to find it strategically located as part of the USB Connector . Now the worst part… 1 hour of SHEER TORTURE staring at this mouse while it charged. The hypnotizing flash of the green charging light kept catching my eye and distracting me. But I knew I had to wait…
What a laughable review.
