does any of you guys had/have both of these mouse? is the mx1000 really better? how it it?
 
both have good aspects.

Personally i find the MX1000 more comftable and easier to use it seems more accurate and the charging stand is better designed.

The 1000's got more features and side scrolling is awesome.

apart from that they are no different. the Mx1000 does not last as long as the 700 on one charge but it's still good enough for 24 hours constant usage.

I've got both of these mice, and I swear the MX1000 is far superior to the MX700. Its larger, more accurate, and I've never even come close to running down the charge on the MX1000 during an extended use period. The thing uses its powersave mode anytime the mouse isn't detecting movement, which extends the life dramatically.

If the question is "Which one do I buy?", then there is no question. The MX1000 is the one you want. :cool:

How is it for gaming? I'm wanting to pick up the kb/m combo that has the mx1000... the mx3100 or whatever. But I don't want lag in games :(
 
The mx1000 is much better than the mx700.

If you dont want lag though I believe the only wireless mouse with no lag is the G7
 
I've been using the MX1000 for over a year. Nothing compares to it. Best mouse I've ever used, no lag whatsoever.
 
The only lag you will get with the mx1000 while game is if you sit still not moving the mouse, it will sense lack of movement and drop into power save mode, which takes ~1/2 second to come out of, noticable, very much so in the middle of random firefight, if you move alot though, like I do, aka a monkey on crack in a banana house, you won't ever go into power save and won't notice any lag.

Just depends on how badly you want to get rid of the wire. I personaly hate wired mice. The wire always seems to get in the way.
 
I really like my MX1000 over my MX700 (I have MX1000 and 4 MX700). I also like my G7...
 
As far as features, the MX1000 wins.

For comfort, MX700 hands down...the 1000 is too big imo..also very heavy.

MX1000 holds a charge like 2x longer than the 700.

Overall I would go with 1000 just because of the higher accuracy and side-scrolling.

I've owned both, but I use the MX518 which is the best mouse ever made :)
 
honestly it's not really a noticeable difference between Laser and plain optical...at least not noticeable to me. Just a marketing ploy imo.
 
I've noticed how sensitive it is when a cat hair gets lodged there and the vibration of it causes the mouse to jump around, none of my LED based mice did that.

Logitech fixed that problem with later releases of the MX1000. If you have lag from the power save mode send it back and they will give you a new one. Mine goes to sleep frequently and it instantly wakes up without any delay.
 
I first had an MX 700. Nice mouse. Then I got an MX 1000, but it was too big for my hand, too uncomfortable, so I sent it back and got a G7 instead. Lovely mouse, the G7.

You should try them at a store, if you can.

And whoever said there's no difference between laser and optical... The difference was huge, for the better with the MX 1000/G7. *shrugs*
 
I have a MX900 as part of the Dinovo bluetooth keyb/mouse combo and jsut bought a MX518.

Only Difference I see is that the MX518 is wired and has a shiny design on it. Both have the same buttons and work great. MX1000 is a lot of money for a mouse.
