Track on almost any surface (even on glass desks) with Logitech® Darkfield Laser Tracking ™. The world becomes your mouse pad.

The micro USB charging system allows you to use the mouse even while charging.

The Logitech Performance MX has arrived perfectly protected in a cardboard box. On the cover we have the most important mouse design and specifications. While in the back, we can see all the characteristics of the mouse.

It is protected by a plastic blister for both the mouse and the receiver. Inside we find a very complete bundle.

The Bundle is made up of:

• Logitech Performance Mouse MX Instruction manual.Wireless USB pin.Case that contains USB cable, USB extension cable and charger for the light socket.

Logitech has designed an extremely ergonomic mouse for right-handed users. We like its design very much, since it alternates gray, black and silver.

The mouse incorporates a total of 9 buttons, 7 of them modifiable. The scroll has two positions: normal and fast reading.

It also includes a small indicator that alerts us when the battery is running low.

On the right side it has 4 buttons, two for navigation and one for zoom. By incorporating non-slip material, the grip is very safe and complete.

The fourth is used to change applications. The visual effect is very cool for the user.

USB connection on the front of the mouse.

The strongest point of the mouse is found in its Darkfield laser, which is capable of sliding on any surface (wood, glass, marble, etc…).

It includes a rechargeable A battery and a button to save peripheral energy.

We have two options to reload the mouse. The first is directly to the USB that will operate at 5V and the other is directly to the light that charging will be faster.

It also includes a small USB extension cable to make the wireless connection more comfortable and effective.

Like all high-end mice, it incorporates software to customize its speed, buttons… You can download the software from the official Logitech website, click here.

The first thing we must select is the operating system, SetPoint application and whether it is for 32 or 64 bits. Installation is as simple as clicking on next.

Once installed, the application allows us to configure 7 of the 9 buttons. We can even swap buttons between it.

It also allows us to modify the speed of the pointer (remember that it has a maximum of 1500 DPI), acceleration and the number of the displacement line, by default we will leave it in 3 lines.

The application warns us of the level of mouse load.

It also allows us a special configuration for games. By default it is disabled.

Unifying is a technology that allows us to add new devices with the same receiver. This is a great advantage, because we can make our own mouse and keyboard “combos” without needing to have 3 or 4 USB connected.

The application also allows us a more advanced configuration with the buttons with certain applications.

Finally, we have the help screen that consists of assistance, ps / 2 installation, indicators and access to the software.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Logitech is made with the recognized brand of microphones Blue

As we have seen, it is a very specific application that does not forget any detail.

The Logitech Performance Mouse MX is an attractive design wireless mouse with new buttons, a state-of-the-art laser and excellent ergonomics for right-handed users.

The mouse includes its own application for its configuration, it is the SetPoint. This software allows us to configure the 9 buttons, mouse speed, special functions for office applications, gaming profile and Unifying technology. What is Unifying? Unifying is a technology that allows us to add new devices with the same receiver. This is a great advantage, because we can make our own mouse and keyboard “combos” without needing to have 3 or 4 USB connected. We have also verified its autonomy, and after 10 days using it, only 65% ​​of it has been spent. Very good Logitech!

To check the performance of the mouse we have made intensive sections on various surfaces (wood, marble, glass…) and our assessment has been very positive. Since, it has behaved with a great and without jerks. This is thanks to laser technology: Darkfield Laser Tracking .

Although we know that the Logitech Performance Mouse MX is not a mouse designed for gamers. We have verified its performance with its maximum number of DPI (1500). Although we do not have the same feelings that we can have with the Logitech G500, it is true that it behaves very well and for sporadic players it is a great alternative.

After this pleasant experience, we can affirm that the Logitech Performance Mouse MX is an all-terrain mouse, with an excellent laser and very ergonomic.

Its price is not exactly cheap (from € 50 in online stores), but we believe it is an investment for the present and future.
