I recieved my Logitech MX700 mouse the other day, and I just wanted to post about it a bit. I HIGHLY recommend this mouse to anyone. Here's some pros & cons.

PROS:
==================
Ergonomic - Comfortable grip, with ditched-in side for thumb rest. Very fancy and relaxing style.

Wireless Optical - Two of the best wonders in mice today - wire-free roaming, and glideball-free, for faster performance in mouse movement.

Rechargeable batteries - IMO, the BEST feature of this product. My cordless optical died every three weeks from batteries, but this one comes with 2 AA rechargeables, and a docking station.

Buttons Galore - 7 BUTTONS! All with great features, including:
(a)back & foward internet thumb buttons
(b) scroll up & down buttons
(c) sub-menu button (Same concept as using ALT-TAB to switch through open windows, at a touch of a button)

Gamers rejoice! - The newest drivers from Logitech FINALLY make ALL mouse buttons compatible in DirectX applications!

CONS:
===============================
Infared Reach - My mouse had trouble communicating with the docking station only 3 feet away. My older Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse could be used from my bed, a good 12 feet from the remote station.

AC Adapter - Not a big hassle, but the docking station requires its own power supply to recharge the mouse.

No Lefty support - Exactly that, right-handers only.

Folks, all in all, this is the best mouse I've used ever. I'm actually considering buying one strictly for work.
