Fail!

Quote from groundzyy : why not buy a G700 instead of this? I thought G700 is much newer than this?

There are a few reasons to choose the Performance over the G700.
Sensor: Darkfield vs older laser sensor (same as G9x and G500)
Battery life: 30+ days (Performance) vs 2 days (G700)
Better ergonomics (personal opinion)

Quote from roactive : Paired mine with a K800

Mechanical is the only keyboard I can use now. I have the new Logitech G710+ on order, can't wait to try it out.

Thanks!

Then I should consider to buy one.

Great price. In 4 1 as a replacement for the original MX which i still use but is nearing the end of its life. They look almost identical though. Extremely comfortable.

Only thing i see the original MX has over this newer one is that it has a charging cradle into which you just drop the mouse. This newer one requires you plug in a usb cable.

Quote from LizardSlayer : Good mouse, but as you just pointed out almost all of them were defective....

Exactly. I've gone through no less than three of these, after having the Revolution MX. (Two of them were brand new replacements under warranty.) Logitech hasn't given two shits about fixing this after two generations of mice over half a decade.

In a nutshell, the left mouse button will begin to lag or "un-click" when you hold it down after about six months of normal (i.e., non-gamer) operation.

Stay far, far away from this mouse.

Speaking of which, I need a replacement, NOW, because I'm tired of re-clicking to drag. Any NON-LOGITECH recommendations? Thanks in advance...

If you need gaming grade wireless and 9 macro buttons get the G700 if not the Performance is a better choice IMHO. I'm using my G700 as I type this BTW.

Does anyone who already has this mouse notice a really high-pitched whine coming from it when you move it around? I didn't notice it at first, but now whenever I move the mouse (after about 2 months) it emits a super high pitch noise, very faint, but loud enough that i can hear it. Kind of like the sound an old CRT tv makes when it gets old.

I'm not sure if this is normal for Darkfield mice, or i need to get a replacement. Functionally it works just fine.

In 4 4 thanks

Hrmm. I've been using the mx revolution for a while now but it'd be nice to switch over to pine of the unified receiver products.

Good mouse, but darkfield gets dodgy as the battery depletes. Battery life isnt all that great, though

Unfortunately, its normal for this mouse. Drove me bananas when I first got it; thought it was my GPU squealing under load

I completely agree with this. I was tempted to pull the trigger but there are less buttons than the G700 and I use all the buttons on my G700 all the time.

Quote from asmd : yeah, they had some problems. The rubber on the scroll coming loose and the microswitch wearing out prematurely. Simple fixes really, The Revolution MX and the Medial Play are the two best mice that logitech ever made imho. QC issues aside, they set the bar pretty high.

The Revolution MX and the Media Play are the two best mice I have ever owned. Why does Logitech have to kill their best products?

My Revolution MX is still going, but I just had to do the mod to the scroll wheel and it still is only about 50% better (but I have had this mouse for about 4-ish years now). I am thinking about picking the Performance Mouse MX up as a backup, but does it live up to the Revolution MX? the lack of the thumb wheel kills me.

I've been watching prices on the Performance Mouse MX after using one at work for the last 2 years. I originally found a MX1100 on clearance at Office Depot for $22. I had an issue after 2½ years and filed a warranty claim. Since the MX1100 was discontinued, Logitech sent me a Performance MX!

Now I'm hooked and want to buy one for home to replace my Microsoft Natural Laser Mouse 6000, which is OK, but missing key features. Favorite Perf MX feature is the hidden thumb button. Most used feature is the free-spinning scroll wheel.

Might have to bite on $50.
