Review of Logitech Click Optical Mouse

© 2003 by Kurt von Behrmann. All Rights Reserved.

The new Click! Series from Logitech literally has something for everyone. For those that may not need, or do not have the required space for a wireless mouse, Logitech's Click series has a wired version that manages to retain the best features of the wireless Cordless Click and the Cordless Click Plus.


All three flavors of Click share the same driver. For future upgrades and alterations, this makes a great deal of sense, and it takes a lot of the confusion out of swapping different mice with one system. To test this out, I did exchange various units without any incident. On the surface that may seem to be an obvious one. Exchanging mice should not cause problems, but in the world of software and hardware changes can often spell lost function.


In the appearance and feel department, the Click is somewhere between the Cordless Click and the Click Plus. The Click retains the curving forms of the Cordless Click version, but the sides are reminiscent of the Plus edition. In terms of features, aside from having a cord, the Cordless Click and the basic Click are identical. The only real function difference is the cable.

For Mac users, the corded Click can work both ways, and naturally can be used by left handed users. Very little is drastically different in the line. The responsiveness, ease of set up, appearance and styling are consistent.

The one noticeable difference is that this corded mouse is appreciably lighter than the cordless version. In order to be free of connection wires, the Cordless Click and Cordless Plus Click both contain two double A batteries. The addition of the batteries naturally adds a little more weight to both. For some users this difference is negligible. On the other hand, for those with disabilities, the difference can have some bearing on which mouse to chose from in picking the most appropriate. My suggestion to anyone with questions or special needs is to test them out before purchasing. If light weight in a mouse is an important feature, having a corded one could be preferable.

Another issue to consider with cordless mice is the placement of the base. The ideal distance between the base and mouse according to Logitech is approximately eight inches. If you have a desk configuration that does not permit this, and many set-ups I have seen do not, then you have to factor in that convenience feature and making changes in your computing environment vs taking the more traditional corded mouse approach.

Summation

Seldom do computer makers ship their units with the ideal mouse. Everyone's needs and demands are different. If you are looking for a comfortable optical mouse that is not cordless, then the Click is a solid choice. Price point wise, feature wise and convenience wise, this is perhaps the ideal mouse on a string.
