    I'm wondering if anyone has any of these two mice and if they do how well do they perform in games? I'm looking to go wireless and can't stand razer glossy crap , the X8 is too bulky, and well i love how the mx anywhere looks, the pouch, and the tiny receiver just rocks. Although they seem to track exceptionally well, i read on an apple forum that for some user, JUST ingame, the mouse skips and jumps.

    I was hoping to get a second opinion from an owner.

    i have the mx performance by logitech... works well for my game (wow)
    love the added buttons and programability of it...

    it comes with a rechargable battery but life is a bit short and cable too thick to use it plugged in.

    the small dongle is great.

    feel of it is very comfortable. i find these shapes to be one of the most comfortable mouse out there.

    What about the razer orochi? Or even the Logitech G(something) wireless, the one that looks like the G5. Personally, I have the Microsoft Habu for gaming, will upgrade shortly, and the MX performance is my workhorse.

    I have the mx anywhere. bought it pricematched from officemax on staples yesterday
    for 60 - 15%0ff - 18 in staples rewards = 35 bucks.

    My experience with prior mouses haven been two microsoft wireless mice
    and a current logitech v220.

    I have been playing around with it and I can summariize by telling you to get one, no matter what, but with some kind of discount, at it's full price it's too much.

    the setpoint software is awesome. I have set custom settings for photoshop, indesign cs24, firefox. e.t.c

    and even if it only had one button with the fact that it works in my glass table and in that weird granite in my starbucks that made the v220 useless makes it a must have for my laptop use.

    One other thing. Please try the mouses on a best buy/ staples before you buy. the other darkfield sensor mouse, the performance mx, is huge, I could not see myself using that if it was free. and from what I read in the internet it was the best mouse ever. Try them.
