Back on Topic...
My MX1000 arrived yesterday and I almost have it boxed up to send it it back. Man this thing is terrible.
- The mousewheel feels like the cheapest piece of junk ever. Each click feels like a tiny piece of plastic is breaking off somewhere... it couldn't be any lighter and I can't imagine it has any durability whatsoever. There is no soft/rubber/insolated feel at all - it's plastic knobs grinding on plastic gears.
- The "high arc" design really hurts my wrist. My old Intellimouse has a low profile whereby my hand basically lies flat with only my fingers extended. Using the MX1000 for about an hour actually caused my wrist to fatigue and start getting sore!
- Button configurability?! This thing has 8 clickable buttons on it, but for the life of me I can't find a way for games to recognize ANY but mouse1 and mouse2. The thumb buttons don't show up as 4 and 5 they way they should... and mapping a keystroke using the configuration tool apparently does nothing. There is also no "scroll acceleration" (scroll super fast and you get more up/down action than normal) which is something I've gotten used to.
Over all the thing just feels cheap and I guess I'll look for something else. =/
