Read full review

The Logitech MX 1100 is the first high-end mouse revamp from Logitech in two years. It boasts some added features over the MX Revolution, Logitech's last flagship cordless mouse, but it has also lost a big feature since it's not rechargeable. Despite that loss, digital media artists, gamers, and even power users will love the breadth of control allowed by the MX 1100's wide range of buttons. And with practically no learning curve, only the $80 price tag may give you pause. Given the amount of thought put into this mouse, and how much easier it makes certain tasks, we think it's worth it.

Perhaps the most genius new feature in the MX 1100 is the one that's least noticeable. On the left side thumb rest, Logitech has actually embedded another button underneath the rubberized coating. You can't see it, but pushing it feels completely natural. Its default setting is the Document Flip feature, Logitech's own lightweight task manager, but as with every other button on the mouse, you can configure it via Logitech's SetPoint software. You still get two thumb-side front-and-back buttons, which are fine, but we also still with Logitech would make them a bit thicker.

Also new to Logitech's nongaming mice is a rocker switch for changing the sensitivity of the MX 1100's laser sensor. This can be an important feature for anyone who wants to toggle between different speeds for their cursor, including digital artists working on zoomed in images. You may also want to set it very high for the scrolling speed to scale properly across a large resolution display. You can set the sensitivity to a low of 400dpi, and all the way up to 1,600dpi. That resolution is not quite as high as some of the 2,000dpi gaming mice out there, but it's also likely fine for all but the most demanding shooter fan.

Other features of the MX 1100 involve mostly design tweaks from the MX Revolution. The free-spinning scroll wheel, our favorite feature by far, remains intact, but with a slightly different mechanism. By free-spinning scrolling, we mean that rather than the stepped, incremental scrolling common to most other mice, both the MX 1100 and the MX Revolution let you set the scroll wheel to spin freely. That means that with one swipe you can whip your screen all the way to the bottom. This feature is amazingly useful for navigating long Web pages and documents, particularly spreadsheets. The difference in this new model is that instead of pressing down on the wheel to engage the free-spin mode, you now push a small button in front of it. We found this method more reliable; with the MX Revolution, it sometimes took a couple of presses on the wheel to switch modes.

The last noticeable improvement is a subtle change in the sculpt of the MX 1100. The right edge sticks out from the side a bit more than the MX Revolution, which provides a more prominent resting place for your little finger. It's a small touch, but we found that it added a bit more comfort over long work sessions.

We'd certainly understand if the MX 1100's lack of rechargeability turns you off. We don't really miss the charging station adding to your desk clutter, and a quick look at the power indicator in the SetPoint software says that our batteries currently have 229 days of charge remaining. That feels like a reasonable life span, but it's also not the most environmentally friendly solution. You could, of course, use independently rechargeable batteries, and the cost of the mouse, already $80, would certainly go up with recharging built-in. We do wish that the MX 1100 was rechargeable, but that feature's absence isn't a deal killer for us.

Otherwise, our thoughts on the MX 1100 are the same as the MX Revolution, and even the MX 1000 from 2004. Logitech is far-and-away the design leader in PC input devices, and products like this one are the direct evidence. $80 is a lot to pay for mouse, no question, but for anyone that puts long hours in front of computer screen, the improvements the MX 1100 brings to navigation are well worth the price.

Best mouse out there for serious users.

by LudoH on September 1, 2008

Pros: -Design
-Precision
-Accepts standards batteries
-Battery life

Cons: -Logitech drivers, though they've improved.
-Impossible to use if you are left handed.

Summary: I think the lack of charger is a good thing. First of all they take unecessary desk space, and often feel cheap. While standard AA batteries are heavier than a Lithium-Ion battery (like the one in the MX Revolution), they are inifinitely superior. The Revolution's battery is not replaceable, quickly loses autonomy, and last a year and a half at best. Of course owning a charger with rechargeable NiMH AA batteries is a must (they are cheap, last several years, and can be found anywhere).

Buy Rechargeable Batteries

by uncleyitz on September 4, 2008

Pros: I have used rechargable batteries in my mice for years
2 batts sit in the wall charger and 2 in the mouse
I swap em as needed
I have thrown out 2 perfectly good bluetooth headsets when the battery died
User replaceable batteries is a huge plus for me

Cons: The on-mouse DPI setting is a waste for most users who will set it and forget it.
No Linux version of the SetPoint software.

Summary: Not the best gaming mouse, but for business users, programmers, and other power users, this is probably the best choice.

What's all this talk about rechargeables?

by GTKJNow on November 25, 2008

Pros: Batteries appear to last forever.Comfort, I have repetitive strain injury. Works great past 15 feet. Can mute annoying commecials quickly. Free spin long web pages.

Cons: Cannot use the same receiver if you buy a second identical mouse or keyboard. Which I did.

Summary: As out of 11/25/2008, user rating is far too low this product deserves at least a 4.5 to 5.0 user rating. I've been using the mouse and keyboard for over three months and yet I have not needed to replace the batteries. By the way you can buy rechargeable batteries. My question is, when do I have to start complaining about this not being a rechargeable mouse? What would you rather have an item you have to recharge every other day or a product that only needs rechargeable batteries every so often, perhaps once every nine months? I have repetitive strain injury, and this product is very comfortable for my hands. I also use this product to watch movies from my adjustable bed on my second 30" monitor. I love how I can set a button on the mouse to quickly mute those annoying commercials on the Internet. This is the best mouse I have ever used in over 20 years of computer use. Let's encourage Logitech to keep making great mouse products like this and increase the user rating and also buy this product.

Who Needs Recharging on a 9 Month Charge??

Summary: Who needs recharging on a 9 month charge on 2 AA batteries?

Are these people for real that complain that this mouse doesn't have a recharger, and rate it extremely poor on that basis?

If they don't want to splurge $2 on 2 AA pile alkaline batteries every 9 months they can use rechargeable AA batteries and use them over and over for the life of the mouse.

Who doesn't make use of rechargeable batteries with a recharger now so this shouldn't even be an additional expense when considering the purchase of this mouse.?

Good mouse but the MX1000 was better.

Pros: Good size for large hands
Buttons easy to locate
On the fly sensitivity adjustment
Hyperscroll

Cons: Hyperscroll button far too twitchy - often will roll on its own
Quite heavy - not as easy to glide around
Not easy for accurate precision - seems difficult to pin-point the pointer

Summary: I've been through quite a few mice in my time. I spend at least 8 hrs a day in front of my Mac and so comfort is paramount. Whilst the MX1100 is comfortable to hold, it nevertheless needs a bit of muscle to control. The weight and sensitivity (or lack there of) make it quite tricky for doing desktop publishing work where fine detail is required.

I've also found the scroll wheel a bit too sensitive, again making it tricky for pin-point accuracy.

A bit disappointed in the mouse. So much so that I'm now using a wired Razer Pro.

Logitech FINALLY listened to its faithful consumers

Summary: Well thank you logitech for finally listening to your customers that put money in your corporate pockets. You took away a very useless side scrollwheel. The features are astounding and the fact that you can change the dpi seetings AWESOME you have a WORK mouse and a GAMING mouse in an all in one product. thank you logitech!!!!! BUt now what do i do with the 2 new MXREV mice in my closet and the one that i was using before you sent me this AWESOME baby. You see people logitech was sending product after product to me to shut me up, they DONT like to hear bad things about their products, I was even told at one point its CHEAPER to send new product to try and fix a SOFTWARE or other problem then pay a programmer to write new software or mechanically fix it LOL Such as the state of the world. Heaven help us if God ever decides to take man kind back to the drawing board. lol

Updated on Oct 1, 2008
Im sorry people I forgot one VERY important feature REPLACEABLEE mouse feet YEs thats right 3 places where you replace the feet or slides on the mx1100 wow the other mice didnt have that. I am already ordering some for mine. CHEERS to Logitech for finally coming out on top in my eyes!!!!!!

Superb Quality and Comfort

by kerryderouen2 on September 26, 2008

Pros: This Logitech MX1100 is absolutely the most comfortable object ive ever put my hands on. (We're talking computer peripherals here people = P),

Cons: Seriously whats not to like?
Dpi only 1600 (if you really need higher..but most people dont)
Must buy cordless wave pro bundle to have rechargeable port on mouse(Although it still uses one single AA rechargeable battery so not a major CON)

Summary: Battery life is great. Get some rechargeable batteries and you are good to go! The On the Fly DPI adjustment works like a charm! It doesnt need a charger station ...

Summary: Battery life is great. Get some rechargeable batteries and you are good to go! The On the Fly DPI adjustment works like a charm! It doesnt need a charger station because the battery is ONE AA. I suppose i could complain that the dpi only goes up to 1600..and there are some mice out there which do over 3000, but who really needs that? If you buy the cordless wave pro bundle, the mouse comes with a mini USB port on the front of it which allows you to charge it from your laptop or desktop. BUY BUY BUY!

Updated on Sep 26, 2008
Some would complain that the $80 price tag is a bit hefty. However lately, ive purchased ALL of the current top mice on the market. (I resell them on ebay = ) until i find the ONE that blows me away with quality . Ive learned that some of the $50 mice are nice, but you get what you pay for. If you want Comfort, Ergonomics, and ************, then this is THE only mouse to buy.

Will this one get page scrolling?

by mprost on August 28, 2008

Pros: At least it will use standard batteries so the mouse won't die with its non-replaceable batteries, as the Revolution.

Cons: Uberoptions should be the standard driver.
Huge-sized drivers.

Summary: Revolution didn't have the option to use the wheel for page scrolling (only n lines at a time), a simple driver setting stubbornly left behind by Logitech for this mouse. Also, the feeling of the wheel click left A LOT to be desired, and one of the thumb buttons was irresponsive at times (maybe is just how I use it, but it happens in several mice I tested). Hopefully these issues are solved, but I won't buy such an expensive mouse without making first sure that these basic features are flawless.

Summary: I haven't tried it, but the list of features and improvements had me salivating... Until Iread that Logitech spoiled the whole thing by making it non-rechargeable. Seems like the successors to my several rechargeable Logitech mice will have to come from another quarter. A non- rechargeable mouse is a rat.
