Logitech’s MX1000 Laser Mouse: OK for Gaming

For the past couple of weeks of playing Warcraft’s DOTA AllStars, I’ve used several mice I’ve had from Logitech. The LX7 Cordless Optical mouse which I bought last January is no good for gaming due to the obvious lag in response time. The older Marble Mouse is actually better and I’ve been quite accustomed to using a trackball now especially in gaming (not for a prolonged period of time though).

So I thought the one that I recently got (Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse) won’t be any different with the rest of the older versions. Surprisingly, the game went very smoothly and the response time was no different that using a regular USB mouse (I’ve had the MX500 before as well).

There’s a comprehensive review of the MX1000 over at DVHardware. I hope this one doesn’t die out on me too soon. My old MX500 went berserk after 18 months.
