    Hi,

    Currently VX Nano is selling for $30 after MIR and MX Anywhere for $50 after MIR.

    Is MX Anywhere worth the difference. (I am not going to use it on glass :p).

    Please suggest.

    Thanks

    It was till yesterday night 3 AM EST on Amazon, is back to 65 something today :(. MX anywhere is still for $49 after MIR

    But I checked out both at local Best Buy and found it small. So my be I will look for something bigger like G7 or Mamba(Not sure of other wireless full size good mice). Do not really like the shape of MX Revolution/Performance.

    Check out the Razer Mamba if it's your style.

    From what I've heard, the G7 isn't great.

    I like my G5, so the G7 is just a wireless version of that. I'm not sure of battery life though.

    I have a nano and thus far it has been wonderful... the only problem I had with it is that its tracking sucks on plastic performance mousepads... I went back to cloth anyway and I like it more

    To me, the both seem the same except the MX has the darkfield tech while the vx doesn't. Also, the buttons are placed differently. Something else to think about is that the MX comes with the unifying receiver. I imagine this will become more useful once logitech releases more unifying products. If you're not using it on glass or if you don't need the unifying receiver I'd just get the VX.

    They have a 20% off 2 logitech products too, which could save you a bit more depending on what you get. Still MIR though... :/

    Nano is not so comfortable as the mouse is quite flat... but that's purely subjective...

    Anywhere is very comfortable... got lots of functions but battery life really sucks... not even a week on a new AA battery...
