I'm just wondering which one of these mouses is better for gaming. Some of you like the wireless stuff but right now I'm using the MX510 and I like it a lot. Anybody think I should upgrade?

I doubt it.
I think the mx1000 is ugly, I don't think I'll try it. Depending on the weather this weekend, I may go pickup a mx510 because my logitech 'optical wheel mouse' is old already... and at work I have a mx700 and I'm used to all the extra buttons. buttons buttons buttons!

Hey people,
can anybody tell me how i can make the extra buttons on the mx1000 work in games?
i tried uninstalling the logitech setpoint software, but in return to wolfenstein, it still won;t recognize the side and application buttons, and the tilting of the wheel.
the only thing that did work when i deinstalled, was the mouse3 (click on the wheel)

I don't know if Logigamer would work, but give it a try and let us know![]()

You doubt it? All they have to do is transfer the laser tech to the other mice, so yes, in essence, there will be a corded Mx1000.Originally posted by: Tremulant

I would stick with MX510. It looks better than MX1000 IMHO, plus it's a corded mouse - lighter, no necessity of charging, no potential lag in extreme situations due to cordless design. I'm a "pro" Q3 player and I use the combination of MX510 and Allsop Raindrop pad. It's fantastic. Perfect compromise of speed, accuracy and control. If someone offered me a combo of the most expensive mouse and pad (e.g. Icemat II + MX1000) for free, I would refuse and keep my MX510 and Raindrop... or accept the offer and earn some money by selling both items
BTW, 5.8 Mps and 800 cpi - MX1000 offers exactly the same specs as MX510. No relevant improvements.

So unless you plan on using... you dog or something as a mousepad, the mx510 and mx1000 are technically even in precision.
Now regular light is what you call incoherent light. They are made up of many independent light waves. They also produce lights of many different colors. Laser, on the other hand, is coherent light. The light is made up of identical light waves and produce light of one color. Because of the nature of the laser, you can focus the light easier and in a smaller area than regular incoherent lights. A good example is shining a flashlight and a laser pointer. With a flashlight, you can see the light expand greatly as the surface you try to illuminate is farther away. The laser pointer is a lot more focused if you would shine it from the same distance.
The MX1000 does away with LED and uses a laser. The familiar red glow you have come to get to know and love is now gone. Using a laser illuminated surface, the mouse sensor can detect tiny changes on a surface that an LED illuminated surface cannot. It can see smaller imperfections in a surface. The peaks and valleys on a surface need not be as great when using a laser.

Did you read the same thing I did? Seems like the laser is an improvement.
Edit: I tried a RatPadz once...I hated it. Get a good clotch pad and be happy.

I use my dog for other things...

Yes. It SEEMS. MX510 is absolutely and entirely smooth movement and wonderful precision on my cloth pad, the Raindrop. I don't see how MX1000 could make any difference. You know, I screw theory like peaks, valleys, imperfections or similar nonsense, I know that practice is all that counts. I tried Boomslangs, Viper, many other mice. None of them gives me as good gaming experience as 510. To each his own though, I know some guys who love their 2000-2500 cpi Boomslangs. I detest their nervous movement.
As for pads, I tried them all: plastic (Func, Ricochet), steel (Steelpad), glass (Icemat)... I don't like them. Cloth > all but again - this is my opinion, some other people might love Icemat or Ricochet.
If you have a good pad, MX1000 isn't worth the extra money in comparison to MX510. If you don't, it MIGHT be...

Uhh...I believe the discussion changed when Schadenfroh asked " will there be a corded version of the MX1000? ". It never had to do with "Dump your MX510 and get a MX1000." .
Get a grip guys, our MX5xx series mice are good, ok? No one is saying they arent.
