Today we’ll be having a look on one of the latest mouses from Logitech ; The MX700 , an optical and cord less mouse

Logitech
Well I think that almost everyone of you will know Logitech. But if you don’t here’s a little piece of text about this company :

Founded in 1981 in Apples, Switzeland, Logitech designs, manufactures and markets personal interface products that enable people to effectively work, play, and communicate in the digital world. The Company's product family includes Internet video cameras, mice and trackballs, keyboards, headsets and speakers, interactive gaming devices and 3D controllers.

With operational headquarters through its U.S. subsidiary in Fremont, California, and regional headquarters through local subsidiaries in Switzerland, Taiwan and Hong Kong, Logitech International is a Swiss public company traded in Switzerland on the Swiss Stock Exchange under the symbols LOGN and LOGZ, and in the U.S. on the Nasdaq National Market System (LOGI). The company has manufacturing facilities in Asia and offices in major cities in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Their origin lies in the OEM sector and during the past few years Logitech has made his presence in the retail sector and now they are having distributions in more than 100 countries all over the world.

A few weeks ago they released a new line of optical mice and that’s what this review is about ; The Logitech MX line. The MX line includes the MX300, MX500 and the cordless MX700



The Optical Corldless MX700 specs :

MX™ Optical Engine Maximum Performance Specifications

Image Processing: 4.7 megapixels/sec

Resolution: 800 dpi

Acceleration: 10g

Speed: 40 inches/sec

Image Processing Power
The MX Optical Engine captures 4.7 megapixels of information per second, more than 60% more than other leading mice. Why is that significant? Because when more image data is captured and analyzed each second, more data is available to determine motion... increasing the mouse's ability to track on difficult surfaces or during quick movements.

Sensor Size
A mouse's sensor needs to “see” small surface details to track motion. The more detail captured within each image, the more data will be available for calculating movement. The MX Optical Engine captures images that are over 80% larger than those from other sensors on the market today. This contributes to the smooth, fluid tracking on traditionally difficult surfaces, such as wood desktops or other surfaces with repetitive patterns.

The Optical Path
Another fundamental factor that determines how well an optical mouse performs is the quality of the images it captures. Since the lens is just a fraction of an inch above the tracking surface, and the actual size of the images is very small, even slight variations in manufacturing tolerances can result in blurry images which seriously degrade tracking quality. Logitech designed a proprietary new lens for the MX Optical Engine that improves the depth of field. The result: more details are captured in each image with greater clarity .

Software Intelligence
Optical sensors must employ sophisticated software to analyze the incoming images and determine motion. The intelligence of the software affects performance immensely, especially when the mouse is used on difficult surfaces or pushed to its limits.

Recommendations
You can't go wrong with this mouse.
