Been a fan of the scroll wheel of the Logitech MX and VX series, and so with their latest Darkfield technology offering, I couldn't resist getting one.... (actually tempted to get the Performance MX too but.... )

Was pleasantly surprised to learn that I could stow away the receiver in the mouse itself!
Spot the logitech receiver?

Oh, and the mouse can be used with just 1 battery too!

The on/off switch also doubles up as a cover to protect the tracking sensor. Excellent idea.
Apparently, this is a feature found in Mac mice too.


Switch in 'On' position.

I must add that the switch has a nice tactile feel to it and turning the mouse on/off has never been easier.

Battery indicator lights up on powering up

Snug fit with the provided mouse case


All wrapped up and good to go!



Some thoughts:
- Love the tactile feel of the mouse buttons. Especially the left and right mouse buttons.

- Scroll wheel works great as usual

- Tested the mouse on a glossy surface where a normal optical mouse wouldn't track, and the Anywhere MX tracks really well.

- Tested the mouse on a glass table top and the tracking works really well with no abnormal/unexpected movements

- The plastic of the mouse has a matt finishing, not sure if this will become 'glossy' when surface wear sets in.

- Mouse is quite heavy with 2 AA batteries, some users may like it, some may not.

- It's a notebook mouse, so size is small, but the fit of the mouse is still ok.

Overall, very happy with this mouse

Am so tempted to get the Performance MX mouse to try out too....

Took a look at the Performance MX functionality and the zoom feature looks really good... hmmmmm.......

The unifying thing will really help with all my logitech wireless stuff....all the BT stuff at least. super useful.

Hmm... I don't think the unifying thing works with previous gen logitech wireless devices.... and most definitely not bluetooth also....
I'll test it with my dinovo edge and vx revo when I get back home later.

Ok, tested, pairing doesn't work with my other (older) logitech wireless devices.

Looks like a worthy replacement for the VX Nano. 2 x AAA batteries every 2 months aren't exactly cheap on the long run

The matte surface on top looks nice in the photos.

Is the side of the mouse also made of similar texture?

[Zetc]

the sides have a rubber lining to provide better grip. See 2nd last photo for an idea of how it looks like

Interesting, what's the effective range and battery life like? Thx.

[Zetc]

hmm... went to test the range just now... about 4.7m with obstacles (PC and door)
Battery life according to set point is 100 days left.
Hope this helps

I as contemplating the performance MX mouse but it seems the RF issues are a problem still.

[MacClipper]

Not bad at all, thx.
