Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this mouse from another page on Amazon for the same model LX3, black. When it arrived it was pleasingly blue. Had I seen it in blue first I would have ordered here. I reviewed it on the other page so altho I responded to some negatives (big handers) will just copy same review here.
After reading all these reviews I wonder why somebody doesn't come up with a new product where one could make a mold of our hand and a custom mouse that fits an individual, or one that comes in sizes, length and width like shoes. I just had a mold made for my bite for a new tooth that fits me perfectly. Why not a mouse that fits like an old pair of shoes? Features are secondary to comfort for me. But back to very limited income budget outlay...
This mouse, my third replacement in 3 weeks, was made for me. I have small narrow lady's hands with long piano fingers and nails, so width and length is just right. I spend way too much time on my pc I know, but disabled, age 70, not much else to do laying here but become a shameless gamer. My long loved small cordless Gyration (gone thru 2) quit holding a charge more than 2 hours, conking out on timed games argg, recharging the other battery pack like an addict needing my fix, battery recharger always cooking something. Cordless and games don't mix. So, I decided to get wired for dependency and cut the stress. Those only last 2 years, $125 with keyboard. When not on games I also spend hours reading news sites, typing a lot, message boards, forums, email, most my shopping, ebay, maybe 16 hours with 8 hours off to sleep if I'm good, altho known to fall asleep with mouse in hand tsk tsk.
This soft comfort smooth sided model with a gentle slope is nice for sensitive skin, bony knuckles. My last Logitech corded MX310 optical was a good 3/4 inch wider, the sharp hard top edge hitting inside my fourth finger and knuckle, very sore in an hour. Wide spread from thumb to pinky tiresome. Big handers here may find that model comfortable. A week was enough for me. Had to sacrifice extra features like side buttons for Back, Fwd surfing and button for menu of open tasks for the simple soft feel of this LX3 I bought used off this page. Price was right without having to wait for mfg rebate.
I thought I had to partially load the software for the zoom but maybe I wasn't doing the button right at first with just the USB plug and play. I just limped out of a week in HP hell with printer drivers and had to buy a new printer to resolve that mess. Held my breath but the install hasn't messed anything up, simple for just the mouse settings. Uncheck all else.
Added bonus for me, I always use the font size changes on IEx toolbar from Accessibility Options for reading from my bed. Messes up some web pages but this zoom doesn't, turns off and on with a click without pointing at the toolbar icon. Now I can bump up fonts easily and to bold right on the mouse controls when reading text. Love that!! Plus, this one is blue and silver, another bonus, not black. I see now it is LX3 Opt Special Edition also on another Amazon page.
I've had Logitech cordless keyboard and mouse, a pain keeping them going, frequency interference changes, batteries. No more!! This LX3 feels familiar, most like the Gyration set I held hands with for years. I bought a brand new pc HP Pavillion Media Edition, couldn't believe a ball mouse came with it! What cheapos!! I don't use a mouse pad, ergonomic needs I use the optical on my bed, elbows close to my body keeps pressure off neck and shoulder arthritis. This moves fast and smooth on soft cotton surface.
Now that I had time to play some games, surf, write some email and message boards, I'm thrilled I took another chance and got what is perfect for me this time. Hope it lasts and not just another in the dead mouse coffin we probably all have. But with this price, easy to toss and buy again. Maybe I should buy a spare in case it is discontinued?
