    I am after a new cordless mouse and was after some feedback on a few:
    The ones I am currently looking at are:
    Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse
    Logitech MX610 Laser Cordless Mouse
    Logitech LX7 Cordless Optical Mouse
    Battery life is a consideration especially on those no lifer weekends playing wow or such.
    What I want to know is what the performance of each of these mice is like and also if anyone has any idea on what the recharge time is like on them.
    I have looked mostly at the Logitech's as I have found them to be a decent make, but anyone has any other suggestions let me know.

    I owned an MX610 and loved it. Then I picked up a VX Revolution (Logitech as well) and I would never go back. The VX is the perfect size, now the 610 seams like a beast!

    The MX1000 is rechargeable, and works great.

    I personally would not choose the MX1000, I have one and it has pick up lag. There are reports of some of the MX1000's having this and mine is one of them. Logitech's support claims this is by design and is not intended to be a "gaming" mouse. The pick up lag is a slight hesitation when you pick up the mouse and put it back down, it takes a brief amount of time for it to start tracking again. Hope this is helpful.

    I'd hold off on getting one until the nano receiver becomes more widespread. Er... at least that's why I'm holding off. CES is around the corner and I bet logitech will reveal some new mice.

    CES... that reminds me G4 is supposed to have a special on that. I doubt I'll be able to watch it so hope somebody records it and torrents it.
