I dread using a regular mouse again (carpel tunnel), but since they got rid of the wired option, the ridiculously poor performance of the M570 is going to force me to switch. It will work fine, and then sporadically get stuck and unable to move, or start to move in jumps and starts. Clicks will register as two clicks. Click and drag will "release" the mouse-button no matter how firmly you are holding it down. This makes games impossible, and regular work frustrating. I bought this mouse to replace a wired version I wore out. I have the receiver no more than a couple feet from the mouse, and have tried it with the drivers active, disabling the Logitech drivers, adjusting OS priority, reinstalling the drivers ... nothing works.<br />My advice? Convince Logitech to bring back the wired version. I would buy a wired one in a heartbeat. The wireless M570? Junk.

I tried lubricating the bearings, but it didn't help much. It was with sadness that I had to give up and revert to a conventional mouse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861398549216211011.post-33884966059571551042012-05-04T06:52:02.988-04:002012-05-04T06:52:02.988-04:00Thanks for the review!

Moving away from my (cumbersome) Microsoft Sidewinder X8 mouse.<br /><br />I am eager to see what this will bring me :D.<br /><br />Btw: No wireless lag on WiFi like with the MX Revolution Mouse? I have one and the lag makes it terrible to use.<br /><br />Cheers!Lieuwe van der Werffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861398549216211011.post-57741074234060744162011-05-04T21:15:48.345-04:002011-05-04T21:15:48.345-04:00Hater.Hater.Dicemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066761828762901278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861398549216211011.post-89443656518760112962011-05-04T13:05:57.308-04:002011-05-04T13:05:57.308-04:00I would think a trackball would be less precise an...I would think a trackball would be less precise and slower for aiming than a mouse.
