Logitech MX300
Logitech’s newest Optical Engine comes out with a new look and added functionality. Whether your assembling a black or silver (aluminum) computer system, this mouse will compliment it perfectly.
The MX300 follows Logitech’s previous mice design with some improvements. At the top, behind the two main buttons there is a small clear domed button called the Quick-switch Program Selector. This button allows you to switch between programs almost exactly like alt-tab does. Personally I find this button to be a bit out of the way. You have to reach far back with your index finger to press it. Also it has such a light click, at first you wonder if you pressed it. Next you find the black section around the Logitech logo on top of the mouse. This has a smooth rubberized feel, just enough that your hand can easily grip the mouse during movements. They did a very good job on incorporating the silver accents with the shape of the mouse. One thing I did notice while using the mouse, the red optical light does not brighten when you move the mouse like I’ve seen on past Logitech mice.
You can choose the usb connection or it includes a ps/2 adapter. Logitech’s Mouseware is just a few clicks and a reboot, and then you are ready to go.

- Five-year warraty
I picked this mouse up for $35.00. The new optical engine tracks just like the dual laser mouse they offer. Moving the mouse as fast as I could, it still kept with me on the screen. Even though it has a great color scheme and the new engine, it doesn’t feel comfortable using the Quick-switch button. I would have to recommend the Logitech Mouseman Dual Optical for $34; it has all the same features but moves the top button down to your thumb. If you’re left handed, keep looking.
