Cordless Optical Mouse Logitech MX700

The Logitech MX700 just raised the bar of expectation on precision and control. With its powerful MX optical engine, the MX700 instantly responds to even your fastest movements. The rechargeable Fast RF cordless technology gives the responsiveness of a corded connection, but without the cord. Our two Cruise Control buttons provide continuous scrolling through long documents or Web sites. And the rapid charge base station acts as a receiver and a charger in one. You made the demand so we built the device.

  MX Optical Engine maximum performance specifications:

  • Image Processing: 4.7 megapixels/second
  • Resolution: 800 dpi
  • Acceleration: 10g
  • Speed: 40 inches/second

  Image Processing Power
  The MX Optical Engine captures 4.7 megapixels of information per second, more than 60 percent more than other leading mice. Why is that significant? Because when more image data is captured and analyzed each second, more data is available to determine motion...increasing the mouse's ability to track on difficult surfaces or during quick movements.

  Sensor Size
  A mouse's sensor needs to "see" small surface details to track motion. The more detail captured within each image, the more data will be available for calculating movement. The MX Optical Engine captures images that are over 80 percent larger than those from other sensors on the market today. This contributes to the smooth, fluid tracking on traditionally difficult surfaces, such as wood desktops or other surfaces with repetitive patterns.

  The Optical Path
  Another fundamental factor that determines how well an optical mouse performs is the quality of the images it captures. Since the lens is just a fraction of an inch above the tracking surface, and the actual size of the images is very small, even slight variations in manufacturing tolerances can result in blurry images which seriously degrade tracking quality. Logitech designed a proprietary new lens for the MX Optical Engine that improves the depth of field. The result: more details are captured in each image with greater clarity.

  Software Intelligence
  Optical sensors must employ sophisticated software to analyze the incoming images and determine motion. The intelligence of the software affects performance immensely, especially when the mouse is used on difficult surfaces or pushed to its limits. The proprietary software used in the MX Optical Engine incorporates years of extensive research and testing, and contributes to the outstanding performance on surfaces that traditionally pose problems for other optical mice.

  There is no use buying the best optical engine if your mouse doesn't have a good cordless connection to your PC. Therefore, our engineers have developed a new standard in the cordless communication: the Fast RF cordless technology. Thanks to three major breakthroughs, Fast RF provides you a better user experience:

  Increased reporting ratio
  The Fast RF technology used in the MX700 mouse provides the user with the same reporting ratio than any corded USB mouse. Both mice will communicate with the computer as many times per second, so that any movement of your hand is faithfully reproduced on your screen. By comparison, the reporting ratio reached by other cordless mice manufacturers is usually five times smaller.

  Higher transmission rate
  The latest generation of optical sensors--such as the MX Engine--analyzes much more information so that you can experience the smoothest tracking. But even the best engine in the world would be of no use on a bumpy, muddy road. Fast RF technology features a transmission rate 2.5 times faster than classic cordless devices. Now you can enjoy the best engine and the best road in one solution.

  Lower latency time
  The third factor in achieving superior cordless performance is the time between each report is transmitted by the mouse to the computer. Rapid preparation ensures a smooth flow of data and allows more reports to be made per second. With Fast RF, we have reduced preparation time by half, compared to our previous cordless mice. It's even around three times better than most of our competitors. Your cordless mouse responds as quickly as a corded model.
