What do most computer geeks have in their hand more than anything when sitting in front of their computer?  If you said their mouse, you would be correct.  If you said something else, then perhaps you need to get outside more often. 

Yes, the mouse, that tiny little marvel of modern technology.  Once an ugly box connected to the computer with wires, the modern mouse has evolved into a wireless piece of art, which is as aesthetically pleasing as it is ergonomic and functional.  Logitech has been at the forefront of the mouse industry as long as I can remember, and has been the preferred gaming mouse for many hardcore gamers and nerds alike. 

The optical mouse started as a novelty, a geeky toy of sorts.  Often referred to as a “laser mouse”, the optical mouse was nothing more than a tiny camera-like system that snapped thousands of images of the desktop, and interpolated movement by comparing the images.  The optical sensor technology advanced, and in time, true gaming optical mice were available.  The Logitech Dual Optical was one such gaming mouse, utilizing a dual sensor system to increase the accuracy of the hardware.  With the release of the MX sensor technology, the optical mouse had truly reached gaming status, and many gamers finally made the jump from ball mouse to optical.  The MX700, which the MX1000 replaces and the crown jewel of the Logitech mouse line, was in itself an amazing piece of hardware.  Accurate and wireless, the MX700 seemed to finally combine all of the necessary components of the perfect gaming mouse into one package.  In fact, the MX700 has graced my own desk for the last year, and I have had few complaints about the mouse.
