Excellent mouse, but also think about the VX Nano,
September 10, 2009

This is a great mouse. One of the best ones I have ever used. Many of the features I really like:
The newer nano receiver, which can stay on the laptop at all times.
The wireless just works. No pairing issues, no long initial wait when turning on.
The “anywhere” part which is true! This mouse works on totally anything.
All the buttons you need on a small mouse
The great dual mode scroll wheel for step by step scrolling or fast flowing scrolling.
Good ergonomic in spite of the small size.
Easy on/off switch at the bottom, which doubles as a protection flap for the sensor.
Nice pouch.
All of this said, I’m instead using a Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks Black.
I do not think one is obviously better than the other. Picking one and the other is a question of personal preference and priorities.
Here are the major differences:
The VX Nano is a pretty bit lighter by 30 40 and it makes a obvious difference. The Anywhere MX is a bit heavier to start with, but more importantly, it uses AA batteries and AAA for the VX Nano. Note that in spite of the bigger batteries about 2x capacity, The SetPoint software is predicting 100 days for the Anywhere’s AA and 150 for the VX’ AAA, so I guess the new “dark field” laser uses 2 3x more power. I thought of using AA AAA adapters to keep the weight difference down, but that could drop the battery life to <,2 months. For me, that was the biggest deciding factor with the next bullet. UPDATE: I have since discovered that the Anywhere MX can work with a single AA battery, which IMHO keeps the weight more reasonable.
The VX Nano is a pretty bit cheaper. Now that it is not the “best” Logitech laptop mouse, its price dropped a pretty bit. While the Anywhere MX price is pegged close to MSRP, the VX Nano’s price is oscillating up to 40 cheaper than the Anywhere MX. That is a big difference.
The Anywhere MX may be used on any surface. In comparison, the VX Nano can only be used on most surfaces. It is still very competent and works on fabric, many shiny surfaces. Anything you will usually find in a home or an office, and is much better than old red LED based mice. It doesn’t, but, work on transparent surfaces. If that is vital, then the Anywhere MX is the only choice.
The VX Nano has the back/forward buttons on the top vs the Anywhere MX on the side for the more conventional thumb access. Advantage Anywhere MX here. Those top buttons on the VX Nano aren’t great and I think that was one of the major complaints. I’m happy Logitech listened.
The on/off button on the Anywhere MX is simpler to use flap to slide and hold for three seconds.
Both mice get a pouch. The VX Nano has a mesh pouch that is a bit baggy. The Anywhere MX has a tight smooth pouch. It is a near tie.
The VX Nano comes with a USB extension with holder to use with a desktop. The Anywhere MX does not. Not a big deal IMHO.
The Anywhere MX has the new Nano receiver that can support some number of devices. The VX Nano has the “old” one. They’re the same size though and behave identically with a single device. In specific, there’s no pairing and initial latency issues as seen on Bluetooth devices.

Another great mouse from Logitech,
September 11, 2009
By ,D. KIM “Go Any” OKC, OK See all my reviews
REAL NAME
 , ,
it’s great mouse, and I can certainly recommend it if you need new laptop mouse. Here are many more details:
1. Appearance: it’s alike to VX Nano, but has better rubber and color covering.
2. Size: it’s a bit bigger than VX Nano. I assume the new laser technology, Dark Field may be obliged more space. Another evident reason is two AA batteries were used rather than AAA batteries which were used in VX Nano. Nevertheless this mouse is still small enough to easily carry around.
3. Left & Right buttons: they’re a bit heavier touch than VX Nano. I do not like heavy touch on left & right buttons because it makes my fingers get tired faster. It’s my preference, so other people could like a bit heavier touch.
4. Back & Forward buttons: they’re a little hard to click with my thumb I believe my hand is common size. They should be located same as VX Nano.
5. Hyper fast scrolling: I generally love this scrolling system since it was presented, and it’s one key reason I favor Logitech mouse. But, there’s one problem that its rubber band around the hyper fast scrolling may be loosed in many time. After the rubber band is loosed, it makes erratic resistance while it’s spinning. I guess it may not be a problem to someone, but to me, it’s serious problem because I use it all the time. I think Logitech should do something about the rubber band.
6. Dark Field Laser tracking: I do not know how much it’s more correct and exact than common laser tracking, but I can make sure that it may be used nearly any surfaces as well as glass & laminated surface which common laser or optical mouse would not work. It’s really amazing. You’ll love this.
7. Carrying Case: it’s come with carrying case which looks to look better, but its size is smaller than the carrying case of VX nano. It has tight fit which makes a bit hard to be zipped. I switched its carrying case with VX nano carrying case.
8. Battery life: now, I can not say much about it, but assume Anywhere MX consumes a bit more battery since it uses AA rather than AAA. Plus, the dark field laser tracking system may be obliged more power than common laser tracking.
Last thing is “SetPoint” program which is its driver from Logitech. It gives many alternatives to customize each button, but limitation. I may propose “uberOptions”. Which lets customizing each button any way you want, but use it at own your risk.

Great mouse but has some faults for its price,

Cons:

Storage place for nano transceiver
Full Review:
I’m a picky keyboard/mouse person 1st off so a three ranking really is most likely more of a four but read on and judge for yourself.
Sadly, when I went looking for a mouse for my refreshed company laptop, I couldn’t find something I was comfy holding on to and had an proper set of features: nano transceiver or Bluetooth, small size, forward/backward side buttons, etc. I saw in the store the Anywhere MX and in spite of the price of $79.99 plus savings I thought I could give it a attempt.
From an external point of view it had everything I hoped for. I opened the box and knew what to expect. The setup was non existent, everything was plug and play. The size was still a bit bigger than I expected but it was still compact and usable. Surprisingly, thanks to the hyped Darkfield technology, the mouse tracked on my desk and just about anywhere else I put it. The hyper scroll, which I have used for many time on my G9 on my desktop, made scrolling through pages of text so much easier than a regular mouse wheel. The nano transceiver was one, for the 1st time ever, I was comfy putting into a laptop and leaving there.
So why the 3? Well, let us start with the transceiver. Yes, it is small and tiny and is supposed to work with many of Logitech’s merchandise but as one reviewer said, that list is only three mice and two keyboards now. It does not make it useful to get the mouse for the unifying part unless you are to get one of the other things 1st. Moreover, the transceiver let us say you choose to take it out has its storage place IN the mouse. You must take the cover off as if you were to get at the batteries to store the transceiver. It is a rather big annoyance for such a small thing.
Next, the hyper scroll, while useful and one of my favorite inventions of Logitech from recent memory, has a flaw on this model in that to switch it from free scroll to notched, you use the scroll wheel as if it were the center mouse button. That means, for those who are fast to realize, that the center mouse button feature is gone from this mouse.Kinda. Really, if you do not install the SetPoint software, XP treats the application switch button below the scroll wheel as the center mouse button so guess it really depends if you are going to use the application switch button and the hyper scroll wheel together or not.
Moving on, this mouse, while diminutive by design, is uneasy. I knew to get it that it could be alike to another Logitech product on display there and thought that maybe the newer model could fix any design issues from last ones. Rather, they just took the same outer shell, moved some buttons around, and repackaged it. For someone with somewhat bigger hands I can not use this mouse for long or seriously without my hand cramping up.
Finally, this mouse has a pretty steep price point as most of Logitech’s tech oriented mice have in the past. I am not saying $80 is not worth it but honestly this mouse should most likely be half the cost considering what you are to get.
Parting thoughts: in general, this mouse packs many of features into a small space. The size is perfect for a movable mouse but that is put before comfort which is my biggest gripe with this product. For someone with a smaller hand size, who will be leaving the transceiver plugged in all the time, and who does not need the application switch and center mouse button, this is the ideal movable mouse presuming you have the money to use up on it. For me, I will be returning the mouse to the store I bought it from and to get another mouse, possibly the Performance MX, instead.
