Jamus.co.nz Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I have recently bought a mouse from the reputable company Logitech. The model is Logitech Anywhere Mouse M905, which is an optical wireless mouse. Logitech Anywhere Mouse is a series of computer mice manufactured to take advantage of the DarkField technology. This is a new form of movement-tracking method does not use the traditional optical laser; instead, it detects the micro-grooves along the surface and tracks mouse movement based on changes in the groove pattern. Therefore, Anywhere Mouse generally works well on virtually any surfaces, including shiny and reflective tables. Measuring at a dimension of 90.5 x 63.0 x 34.5 millimeters, it is a mid-sized mouse designed with portability in mind. Logitech has trimmed down the wireless receiver to be extremely small so that it can be left in the USB port permanently ? even when transporting the notebook in a laptop bag. However, if there is a need to detach the wireless receiver, it can be pulled out and be safely stored within a compartment in the mouse. Buttons wise, the Logitech mouse has the standard left and right buttons, as well as a scroll wheel in between. Uniquely enough, the scroll wheel can be easily switched between ?hyper-fast scrolling? and regular scrolling modes. ?Hyper ?fast scrolling? mode makes it easy to scroll through long documents or zoom in/out quickly of an image, while the latter makes it convenient to scroll through line-by-line of a web page. The modes can be toggled by pressing the scroll wheel. At this point, you might wonder how the mouse?s middle button can be triggered if it is used to switch between the scrolling modes. Well, Logitech has included another button just 0.5cm away from the scroll wheel, which takes the role of a middle button. Therefore, if you need to launch a URL in a new tab while scrolling through a web page, you actually need to lift up your finger to press the middle button. This is not too annoying once you are used to playing around with this mouse. Two additional buttons have also been incorporated onto the mouse. These are the ?back? and ?forward? buttons, which will come in very handy during Internet browsing, or when you are exploring your media library between different artists / bands. Note that these functions require the installation of the bundled Logitech drivers. Ergonomically speaking, the contour along the sides of the mouse allows the thumb and the little finger to rest comfortably during use. A thin layer of rubber on the sides further makes it possible to firmly grasp and move the mouse without sliding off. Powered by 2 x AA batteries, Logitech claims that the mouse has a battery life of six months. A set of 2 x AA Duracell batteries have been included in this package. Logitech has also kindly bundled a mouse pouch. Overall, it is a pleasant experience to use this mouse. Despite being an ardent fan of regular desktop mouse, I find the Logitech mouse a good substitute for the current mouse that I have. At a retail price of $169, it will deter most people from buying it as the cash can be dedicated to upgrading graphics card or buying a good pair of headphones instead. However, if you happened to have spare cash lying around, the Logitech Anywhere Mouse M905 is definitely a worthy investment.
