Pros: ABOVE top-notch performance, nothing beats it. Comfortable beyond belief.
Cons: freakishly expensive for a mouse (50 bucks). There are more expensive, but only a few.
The Bottom Line: If you use a mouse a lot, or are a serious gamer, this is THE only mouse you want to get. You simply cannot beat it's performance.

| groxx's Full Review: Logitech MXâ„¢ 510 (931162-0403) Mouse |
I was kind of shy at the price tag (50 dollars o.O ) at first, but the sheer sw33tness won me over.
Big time.
I've never found, tested, or bought a better mouse than this. It's mind-bogglingly accurate, you CAN'T make it skip by moving it too fast (face it: you just can't move your hand fast enough. That's impressive), and the feel of it... heaven.
It's weighty, with a fairly large base, but it's actually nicer than using a light mouse. It feels like you have something, not just a plastic shell with mostly air inside. The shape and placement of the buttons is PERFECT for me, and the contours are all in the right places. The most comfortable mouse I've ever touched.
It's stylish, and each one has a unique design on it, but that's not what you're paying for here. You're paying for RAW power.
Here's the stats for mice:
A standard optical PS/2 mouse runs at about .6 megapixels per second. Ever tried one? Move your hand at even a decent speed and the cursor jerks all over the place, like a mouse on crack.
Almost every USB optical mouse is a bit better. About double, usually 1.2 megapixels per second, but I think they go up to 1.5 in some rare cases. Move your hand quick, and again the mouse is on crack.
THIS sucker runs at an astonishing 6 megapixels per second. I've tried everything I can to make it mis-read my movements, but I can't. Period. It works on every surface I've tried it on without fail or a single glitch, and the tiniest movement is recorded and calculated into correct movement.
I've always been a Logitech fan. I try Microsoft mice, and my hand hurts within minutes. I use even the cheapest ergonomic Logitech mouse, and I don't want to let go. Same thing with joysticks: Microsoft=pain, Logitech=PLAY. Every year at my school and just with repairing computers (a hobby of mine), I run across literally 3 or 4 dozen busted Microsoft mice or joysticks. Even the expensive ones. I have NEVER seen a single Logitech one, though I've heard of a few. My school started out with all Microsoft optical mice (close to 500 of them): two thirds of them are now Logitech, because the first ones broke in two years or less. The Logitech ones are now about 10 years old, and I think only 3 have broken in all that time.
I honestly trust that this mouse will last me for a decade at least. I've never had a problem with Logitech, they make durable stuff, and this mouse has a stronger shell and better attached components than I've ever seen.
I love the dual-wheel setups, it seriously rocks for gaming. There's enough buttons to do away with most uses for the keyboard, except chatting. Movement as smooth as butter on a baby's butt, it never jitters. If you've got the money, it's a worthwhile buy. Try it, and you'll be hooked.
