Hands On: Logitech MX Air Cordless Mouse: evolution in technology

Logitech as we know always seems to be at the forefront in mouse design technology, speaking from a personal experience it seems that no one comes close to their mouse designs. Tweaktown realize this which is why they have decided to do a hands on review of the new Logitech MX Air Cordless Mouse, which is being described as an evolution.

When you first take the Logitech MX Air Cordless Mouse from the box you know that you have purchased something special, and the black glossy finish mixed with hints of silver gives it a sexy sleek look. As you know when Logitech launch a new mouse you know that there will be a host of improvements over their previous model and the MX Air Cordless Mouse will no disappoint.

As our computers are a complete home entertainment system it seemed natural for Logitech to add a quick launch system for Windows Media Player or Media Center, all you need to do is give the mouse a quick shake, ingenious.

Tweaktown’s final thought on the Logitech MX Air Cordless Mouse are “As expected, this is a mouse with a lot to live up to. Logitech has a history of pumping out products that people buy en-mass, and the MX Air is another one that will be finding its way into living rooms thanks to the popularity of HTPCs.

Speaking of home theatres, this mouse has a few more surprises in store for us, such as the ability to open Windows Media Player or Media Center by shaking the mouse (also available is a customisable menu allowing you to add any files/folders/programs you want) or adjusting the volume by holding the Volume and moving the mouse side to side.

The only final gripe I have about the mouse is that it dims its on-board lights after several seconds, indicating that it has entered sleep mode to save power. While this is a really great power saving feature for a wireless mouse, its drawback comes when you disturb the rodent from its slumber; it takes almost a second to register movement on the screen. This can be annoying when it occurs repeatedly, like right now while I’m typing and editing this review.

There is one thing that will hold the mouse back from flying off the shelves in my opinion, and that is the price. Logitech has put this mouse in their luxury range, and with a suitable luxury price tag; a tad too rich from most people’s tastes, I can believe.

However, looking at the components present I think the price is justified to a degree; we have a pair of RF transceivers capable of up to 30m range, 3-axis accelerometers, lithium ion battery to save weight and add battery life, and finally the laser tracking module for the precision desk work. Combined with a sexy design and solid software/firmware, it’s easy to imagine how the cost adds up pretty fast.

The good points however far outweigh the bad here; this mouse is amazing once you get it house trained! - I’m always using it now on the sofa when I’m watching movies because it’s just so much fun to use every time I pick it up. If you have the money, or don’t have the money because you just built a HTPC, take a loan or borrow it from your friends, because this rodent is the perfect accessory to complete that sweet living room setup”

Suvil I-T Click Click mouse: small and awkward

Here we have the Suvil I-T Click Click mouse, and just looking at that picture it has to be one of the smallest and most awkward mouse on the market. If you have chubby fingers then this mini-mouse is not for you, so this mouse is best for a lady.

The Suvil I-T Click Click mouse is strange to use as you have to rotate it for ergonomics, for you’re left click you will use the fingernail button and the right click is a button near your thumb. However the only problem is once used for a long period the mouse will fall apart.
