Logitech MX 310 Optical Mouse

My 10 year old MX310 has been retired to my office. Having survived multiple lvl 80+ Diablo 2 characters and Quake 3 to Quake Live, it was time to replace the old faithful.I use a claw grip. And I tried to replace the MX310 first with a Kana V2, but even though they are similar in width, the Kana feels much narrower because of its low backside. The MX310 on the other hand has a nice lift at your palm and then eases down in height towards the top of the mouse. This makes the MX310 feel like it offers a lot more support and puts less strain on your hand.The gooves next to the side are a 'u' shape, so your thumb and pinky can rest either in the groove or on the edge of the mouse on the mousemat. Both these grip positions feel good.The surface of the mouse is great. Its hard plastic with slight grainy feel on the buttons and sides. It makes it very easy to clean, which is a bonus compared to modern mice with rubber sides.The sensor is good enough for me as I use very high sensitivity, when I play I use accel in Quake and I never lift my palm, I just flick for a 180 and swipe left/right for more accurate movements without lifting. If you have a similar style I'd highly recommend this mouse. The angle snapping is good for this too. On the Kana without the angle snapping I felt less accurate and in fps games the geometry is mostly square so if you aim from say a low area to a bridge when you move left and right the crosshair stays level with the geometry.The buttons are neither too sensitive or too hard. When I first got it 10 years ago I remember very seldom accidentally clicking the left mouse button when I did my 180 flicks. But I got used to it since.The low and fixed DPI could be an issue for some, but I find it good with 1:1 movement fix even using it on 2x 24" 1080 monitors, while using 3dsmax, UE4, photoshop etc.I bought two MX310's from Amazon, which was delivered a week earlier than expected. So I am good for another 20 years. The package is also now a cute little box, instead of that horrible impossible to open plastic. :)

I can't stand the feel of this mouse. It's so long and flat that it doesn't fit into the natural curvature of the hand's resting position. If you're an NBA basketball player with gorilla hands it will be a perfect fit. The thumb and pinky grooves are too rigid forcing you to keep wrist parallel to desk, not angled up as usual. Precision is decent, not great and buttons response is inconsistent. I'm returning this mouse in favor of a Microsoft "egg" shape mouse. For the price, this mouse should be wireless as well...

This one broke as well! I really liked Logitech mouse but after going though 3 of them and they all broke in months! I am not sure I will buy this brand again, the wheel on this one broke and the 2 previous ones the cable was loose so the mouse kept disconnecting so the pointer would no longer move on my computer and then I had to wiggle the cable again...it was slowing me down at work so I was very annoyed

This is my second same exact mouse. The first one didn't last that long, but I happen to like it, so purchased another. Hope this one lasts longer.

I really like the mouse and I'm sorry to see it only available "used" now. I found the symmetric side buttons felt more natural than having 2 on one side operated by the thumb. Also, although not applicable to me, the mouse is right/left symmetric so it should be fine for either hand. The wheel doesn't have tilt, which is another plus in my opinion (I find using the click feature on a wheel too vulnerable to right/left movement on the wheel at the same time).The flaw I found is the little button on the top (which I really really like). This button becoming less responsive (or multi-clicking) has been the failure mode for 2 of these I've owned (yes, I like them and they are cheap). I use the button for "Close window", which gets more use than "change program" or whatever it's supposed to be used for. Maybe I'm over taxing it, but I'd be so happy if that button held up as long as the others (which have never failed).

This mouse is the best mouse I have ever used. I am a graphic designer and I use my mouse daily and up to 16 hours on long days sometimes so it is important to me to have something that works properly. This mouse fits my hand perfect and has a weight to it that makes it feel substantial that you just don't get with ordinary mice you buy at the store these days. I am using this mouse on a Mac and I would say it ranks just above the mighty mouse in comfort, accuracy and functionality. I recently have been forced to divert to a new Apple bluetooth wireless mouse because my trusty MX310 is having some USB connection issues from extensive used over the last 6 years. The wireless mouse is horrible compared to the MX310. It has tracking issues, I had to download a patch so it doesn't side swipe on accident, not good for gaming, batteries to replace and it's too small for my hand. That said I am back on Amazon to buy another MX310 (my third in the last 12 years). I must stress that I use my computer about 4 times more that the average person so I would say the mouse life would quadruple for the average consumer. Easily worth the price, great mouse. I hope Logitech keeps making it.

I recently purchased another of these mice after my first one wore out. The silver had completely rubbed off of the buttons and the click just wasn't working very well anymore. This is the first mouse I have ever had that didn't just up and die one day, but actually wore out.Usually having to replace a mouse would be a bad thing, but I've had this mouse for a LONG time. I can only imagine the hundreds of thousands of clicks that button went through and the miles of movement it must have registered. I am happy to purchase the same model again in the hopes it will last as long as my first!Very comfortable to use, love the forward and back buttons for navigating the web on the sides.
