Logitech M305 Wireless Optical Mouse - anyone use it? Comments?

[VirtualLarry]

Just picked one up, $20 at OD. Seemed to be the cheapest wireless optical mouse. Claims one month worth of usage on a single AA battery. Amazing if true. (Wonder how much power-down/power-up lag it has, if you play FPS and camp a lot.)

Edit: I'm using it for a laptop. After using it a few days, I think I like it. Pretty comfortable, no back/forward buttons to hit accidentally.

I also just picked one of these up in late July, so it has been about 3 weeks of using mine. So far the battery is holding up, as it is on for 6-8 hours a day. Very comfortable mouse considering the size, better than the MS Bluetooth 5000 one it replaced. It has a stable feel to it, and connects quickly to the receiver, and no dropouts. I don't play games so I can't say anything about it.

I picked one up as an impulse at a local BestBuy and have no complaint. Expectation is a key of course, it's not an MX-518 or G5. But it does what I expected it to do.

I have this mouse and it works okay for its intended purpose. The small receiver and general portability of the mouse makes it a great addition to a laptop or netbook, but it is definitely very poor for a primary input device.

Tracking is smoother and easier to use than a trackpad, but it is not capable of playing any video games unless you play at very high sensitivity levels.

It "reconnects" very quickly and after having used it I would still have bought it, but just remember to keep your expectations inline with the product.
