I currently have a MX500 mouse, I really like it, but I think it is time to replace it as it is showing signs of wear, I was thinking about getting the MX1000 to replace it, I really dont want to give up any mouse buttons but would still like to go wireless. I know the G5 and G7 are probably better mice but they only have one thumb button and I want both of them.

So is the MX1000 still a good mouse to get?
 
it is good but it depends on what you will be using this mouse for recomendation get teh MX518 if you are goign to be gaming and if you arnt then the MX1000 will be fine
 
I game with my MX1000 just fine. I love how it feels in your hand. The G7 is supposedly better but I don't like the shape of it.
 
I game just fine with the mx1000, it takes some getting used to and you might have to adjust your mouse speed settings. But I actually like it over the lighter mouses, I don't feel like im holding anything with it.

what type of "wear" are u talking about? if its simply mouse feet going bad, u can always pick up some skates...but anyways, the mx1000 is a good mouse and i also like it better than the g5 and g7 because of its 2 buttons :D however, it is a bit on the heavy side. my friend had a mx510 (now a copperhead) and used a mx1000 at his dads house and it was wayyy heavy compared to the 510, nonetheless, it is still a good mouse and if you get used to it, you should be able to game fine :D

that's not a good reason to use the MX518 over the MX1000.

MX1000 will perform the same as G5 or G7 as long as you don't place the reciever in a terrible location. And also for some reason the G7 doesn't work on my roommates mousepad (Razer pad, rough side), but the MX1000 does. Strange since they are both laser mice.

Also MX1000 feels a lot more ergonomic. I don't know why they switched back to the old design. And why did they take away the side button... they're a lot lighter though which is nice for some people.


anyway if you're going to get a new mouse, get whichever one looks/feels better because they will perform the same.
 
Thanks for all the great replies.

As far as wear, the feet are almost gone, I have to keep pressing them back on, I know I can always get replacement, but theres also some cosmetic wear, the main Logitech logo looks like crap as well as the up arrow above the wheel. the cord doesn't really cause much problem for me, I have it placed just right at the moment, but it always takes some time to get it placed just right when I move things around, so I was thinking about going cordless. I will have to give it some more thought but I am torn between the MX518 and the MX1000
