Today we have the MX Master on hand and it looks to be Logitech’s best creation yet. This incredible looking mouse is said to be Hand-sculpted for supreme comfort and control. The MX Master is also brimming with the latest features including dual connectivity, Easy-Switch technology, Darkfield Tracking and much more...
2014 was a good year for Logitech, as they proved why they are one of the biggest names in PC gaming with the awesomely named G502 Proteus Core and G402 Hyperion Fury. Both gaming mice were able to combine industry leading features with top notch design and build quality. As dedicated gaming mice they were anything but discrete in their appearance, boasting aggressive designs and flashy blue LED lights. They were also wired mice, as gamers generally prefer wired over wireless.  However as a long time user and fan of the Logitech MX Performance mouse, I found the latest G-Gaming series mice a little unnecessary for my own needs. The original MX Performance mouse was announced back in August of 2009 and it was intended to be Logitech’s answer to Microsoft’s ‘BlueTrack’ mouse sensor technology. As such the MX Performance was the first mouse to feature Logitech’s Darkfield laser. Unlike traditional laser sensors, or even BlueTrack, Darkfield was designed to track on pretty much anything and everything, up to and including nonmirrored glass.  The MX Performance replaced the less attractive MX 1100, another cordless mouse that I also owned. For $100 the MX Performance was a pretty good deal back in 2009, after all the rechargeable batteries were included along with Logitech’s ‘Unifying’ USB microreceiver, another new technology at the time. So 6 years later and countless new gaming mice, the replacement for the tired old MX Performance is finally here! Dubbed the MX Master, this new mouse is again targeting office workers looking for a high-end mouse that isn’t designed for gaming. This is why I loved the MX Performance so much, as I spend more time doing office type work (like writing this review) opposed to enjoying a few games. In short I don’t need or want a mouse that doubles as Christmas tree lighting, has more buttons than a 90’s mobile phone or can wear a hole in my mouse pad at a track speed of over 500 IPS. What I want is a super comfortable wireless mouse that offers good run time in-between charges, isn’t fussy about what surface it is used on, has a quality scroll wheel and the basic buttons such as back and forward. That then is the MX Performance and in 6 years there has been nothing worthy of replacing it in my opinion. However now 6 years later Logitech believes that it can recapture the magic of the MX Performance and create an even better mouse. |
