Love the charging window on the side lets you know when it needs charged and when it is at a full charge. Very durable and a nice design. It is a little large but very easy to handle once you get used to it. Lots of nice features on this mouse am very happy with it.
great mouse!

I upgraded from the x5 to the x8 and am verry happy with the new one. I just wish they had kept the adjustable weights. Feels very solid, charges quickly, holds the charge verry well. works great with win.7.
First time using a wireless mouse for gaming. Very responsive and smooth feel. Did not notice any lag at all. A little on the expensive side, but so are all the other gaming mice by Logitech, Razer....etc!
Good Product Better Price

The only downside to this mouse in my opinion is how you are used to holding your old one. If you use 2 fingers to work the 2 buttons and the wheel you may find this mouse hard to use until you get used to using 3 fingers, one for each button and the wheel. It recharges fast, looks great and works even better.
THIS MOUSE ROCKS!!!!FAST ,TOP QUALITY,FAST CHARGING,LOVE THE IDEAL IT USES RECHARGABLE AA BATTERY....WHEN BATTERY WEARS OUT YOU JUST REPLACE IT , UNLIKE THE ONES THAT ARE BUILT INTO THE MOUSE,NOT TOO HEAVY OR BIG...,VALUE NOT BAD FOR WHAT IT IS,...PAID MORE FOR OTHER MOUSES,THAT WASNT AS NICE ,5 STARS FROM ME!!!
In technological
terms, the evolution of the humble mouse has been an incredibly slow one:
it's taken over 30 years for the ball mouse to be replaced by
now-prevalent laser technology. Microsoft, though, has tried to speed up
the evolutionary process with the introduction of its latest Explorer
mouse, which features its much-touted 'BlueTrack' technology.
BlueTrack promises to greatly improve precision thanks to some clever
fiddling around with the various lasers and LEDs that inhabit normal mice.
Instead of the traditional LED, BlueTrack uses an LED that operates at a
higher, wider angle to swallow up more desk space, and a CMOS detector
that evaluates the surface on a far more detailed level.
The result of this, according to Microsoft, is that the BlueTrack mouse
can scan whatever is under your mouse with far more precision than
previous mice - which could be of significance to those who demand
precision for their work, perhaps, or when gaming.
The new technology also promises to work with a degree of accuracy on
plenty of unusual surfaces beyond the standard desk or mouse-mat thanks to
the precision of the new laser.
