Though i do think the battery indicator looks too much like a spirit level.

Ye I my Bluetooth mouse for gaming, I've never once had a problem with it. The wireless is useful for when I'm sitting in my garden, I can control my music from my chair. I can also use my keyboard from other places in my kitchen, when my mum is mopping the floor, for example :-)

Another use is, I use my keyboard in lots of different positions - on my desk, upper desk, lap, floor (when performing surgery). It's just useful not to have these small items attatched to one single lump.

Great for presentations too. I just bring my Bluetooth dongle with me to school/work, and voila - instant wireless slide button!

As a side note, it's great having a high power Bluetooth transceiver permanently attatched to my desk - I can tell when my friends arrive because it picks up their phones :-D

Well I liked the idea of not having any wires and my old mouse went through batteries like anything, so my newer mouse is a saint. I also have an old intelipoint mouse for backup as they are so reliable, its never failed me.

I actually need a new mouse, i accidently subscribed to a dvd rental site when my mouse inadvertantly double clicked while i was closing a pop up.

It's a personal thing, I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse (RF version of this Logitech Bluetooth, in fact) when I was using a 333mhz Linux box, because you can increase productivity, usability and comfort with just a small investement. My old 333 was fine for everything I was doing at the time, but having a decent keyboard and mouse was a godsend. Wireless - great. Optical - amazing.

Botton line: I need a new CPU at the moment, but if this keyboard and mouse broke, I would spend the money on a new keyboard and mouse.

I don't understand why some people buy a fancy mouse fancy keyboard fancy monitor, when they got a computer that only just supports the new hardware... why?

I’ve had my wireless optical mouse for... 2 years now, and it's got 2 marks hardly visible where the paint stuff has come off, and it has 5 buttons with 6 functions, I only use 3 of them often and 1 every week or so, the other 2 well they only get accidentally clicked and cursed for closing my programs. And the battery is supposed to last for 8 hours but I’ve used it for 12 hours without putting 'im in the docking station. who needs a battery meter when you have economical mouse with batteries that don't run out?

yeah I've got an mx700 (well not at work)
dont forget to mention the mx510

Surely someone's mentioned the MX500 and MX700 ?

hhm be careful, packard bell stuff has a tendency to be complete and utter s***, really my packard bell exploded (well the psu, i think its q-tec so its not supprising)

Dammit they upgraded my mouse already :(
But nice feature the battery level with mine a piece of software suddently pops up "your battery is low" and then it dies, rather annoying especialy in game.
