AFAIK their hardware = 3 years warranty.

How long is Logitech's warranty?

Any idea on how to claim their warantty?

Find your receipt, find out where u buy 1st, then ask them where to claim warranty (if they help u to sent it, that will be really good).
Once you find out what is the distributor for the product, then you will know where to go.

Is there any differ between bluetrack with other blue optical light mouse? because have fre use blue light optical wireless mouse (dunno which brand)... ...

To me, Bluetrack is much superior in working on glass or any other surface besides mouse mats.

i'm an output addict. to clear up some fuss and fanboyism


Bluefield is a sensor standard. it tracks well on most surfaces, so long as there is no bumps and stuffs. There is at all, no need for mats as long as not all of your house items are made from glass


Darkfield is the latest sensor standard on the consumer market. i generally tracks on any surfaces even on glass(must be 4mm thick, but i managed to track on light reflecting surfaces 2mm thick with only minor jittering with my friend's anywhere mouse)



why razer IS NOT a general wireless mouse


i) laser sensors are supposed to be PRECISE. razer mice DOES NOT track precisely without surface(confirmed with my friend's lachesis, lots of jitter above 3k DPI, dunno if it is fixed). orochi also does not track properly wirelessly according to some source and this is even agreed on your razer thread

ii) they have no low end wireless product. wirelessly speaking, RM150~ is considered a good low end solution

iii) logitech>razer in the general market. if you disagree, this proves that you are a fanboy. go check your razer thread on just how much RMA issues there are as well as faulty products. my friend had his 1 years old g5 damaged, sent to RMA, and got a brand new g500 instead.

iv) logitech has advantages with the unifying receiver. you can have all your output hardwares wirelessly connected with just 1 receiver. and i dont consider mamba's big wireless receiver a potent competitor.



my answer is more logitech oriented since i know more about logitech's solution. but currently i agree that logitech's darkfield costs too much. a standard microsoft bluefield is good enough IMO, unless you want gaming grade. g7 is a good wireless gaming mouse but i've heard battery issues.

I don't know why you're getting so emo.

Regarding darkfield, bluetrack and whatever kind of superior tracking technology, it's all just a gimmick to me. Of course, in the lab it will probably be able to track the mouse on whatever king of extreme conditions thrown at it. However I doubt anyone would ever come across any such condition in real life.

I've been using my Logitech MX518 for almost two years now. It's for my laptop, which I travel all around with. To date, I've yet to come across any surface on which the mouse won't work, even glass tables. So infra-red optical mice do perform well.

I also have a RM15 optical mouse that won't work on any surface.

What I can conclude is the optical tech hardly has any real world difference if the manufacturer designs it properly.

I also don't see how my Logitech laser mouse is any more precise compared to my infra-red mouse.

it is wireless?

When I voted for this poll, I thought it would be inclusive of wireless gaming mice and so I selected for Microsoft Sidewinder X8.

For regular wireless mice, I own Microsoft IntelliExplorer 2.0 and Apple Mighty Mouse. The Apple Mighty Mouse is slightly superior in tracking compared to the Microsoft's, probably because of its laser tracking. It works even in transparent glass.

the sidewinder is 50% cheaper and is bluefield. if it wasnt for the shape and for the large puck-like receiver, it would have been an all rounder like the intellimouse

I like laser mouse because they don't have annoying blings

My v470 is wireless

My complain on laser is they have trouble working on certain surface or cheap mats. i have no problem with optical but after shifting the upgrade to laser tech, makes me wanna switch back to conventional optical mouse. I have to admit for laser, you can work more than 2k cpi or dpi with precision. but in reality, we don't utilize much of this feature unless you have a super duper high resolution screen which requires minimal motion.

I use 5700DPI on 1080p screen. Feels good.

Who knows about the wireless mouse battery life performance, any info about it?

Why this topic talk on wireless become LAser and Optical discussion....?????

don't have Razer Mamba?

Btw do you guys turn off your mouse everytime you shutdown your desktop/laptop? My previous mouse (microsoft), the mouse has a slot underneath the mouse for the receiver, and when i slot in my receiver, it will turn off.

Now i just bought a bluetooth mouse (Logitech V470), and there's the on/off button at the bottom? Everyday on and off, a bit ... weird. Can i just leave it like that?

which wireless laser mouse is recommended for big hands user? no need so high-end one btw, thks~
