The consensus among several top reviewers is that the Logitech MX 1100 is a decent wireless mouse for general use. It's a little large and heavy for those with small hands, and it's contoured for right-handed use only. But otherwise, reviewers find it a reasonable choice for browsing the Web, gaming and even precision photo and video editing. The MX 1100 computer mouse comes with several features that aim to reduce the number of clicks necessary for common tasks. The scroll wheel works in two modes (free wheel and ratchet), and the mouse has a low-battery indicator, which is useful for heading off inconsistent cursor response due to dying batteries. If you're seeking a mouse that can work on any surface, consider the Logitech Performance Mouse MX (*Est. $75), a Best Reviewed pick.

In its detailed review, CNET awards the MX 1100 an Editors' Choice due to its numerous features that improve navigation. ExtremeTech.com is similarly impressed, although editors are more troubled by the MX 1100's size and weight. Still, ExtremeTech gives the MX 1100 computer mouse 4 stars. Macworld and Gizmodo.com are even more enthusiastic, with Gizmodo editors calling it their favorite mouse ever.

3. Macworld

Macworld is effusive in its praise, giving the MX 1100 a score of 4.5 out of 5. To back up the high rating, reviewer Roman Loyola cites the switchable cursor tracking speeds, the solid feel and the scroll wheel that toggles between free-wheel and ratcheted modes. This review is shorter than ExtremeTech.com's, though.

4. Gizmodo.com

Gizmodo.com's review is shorter than those from other sources, but it has plenty of useful photos. Editor Jason Chen goes so far as to call it "our favorite mouse ever." However, he also notes two questionable design decisions -- the use of AA batteries and the lack of a left-handed version.

5. Amazon.com

Nearly 230 reviewers mostly praise the MX 1100, often citing its ergonomics and new buttons. A few reviewers pan a slightly cheap feel to the plastic, and one user finds the mouse too large, even for "medium-sized" hands.
