Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I uploaded some photos with notes comparing the Old and New versions of this mouse. Just click the photos to view them all. I will let the other reviewers speak on the details about this mouse in full. This review is about how the New shiny/glossy body style is completely different from the Older version. It is the only thing that has changed in my opinion. Reason for Docking 1st Star - Gloss: The Old version did not have a glossy or rubberized coating that wears off with use. Its plastic had this dull, yet high-grade, feeling to the touch that allowed your skin to breath for extended use without sweating. The New version uses this plastic that is so smooth it looks nice, but in use it leads to sweaty hands and a very cheap feel. It's very smudge prone and kinda gross if you share it with someone who has sweaty hands. Reason for Docking 2nd Star - Price: When you make something better, you can justify the increase to the price. When you make something lower-quality, you can sell it at a cheaper price. Make something lower-quality and add to the cost? = Fail. The New version currently costs almost $10 more. Packaging: So where is the justification in the price hike? To offset the cost of retail packaging I guess, because it wasn't used to make the product better. The retail packaging on this thing was ridiculous because it included a bunch of thick high-grade plastic to hold the mouse and receiver to give it a "pop-out" effect inside the package. What a waste of materials and money that goes straight into the trash. Even the case that comes with it is made of slightly different materials compared to the Old Version. This results in a pouch that, again, is cool, but when you compare it to the Old version you can tell the materials are inferior here too. I'm lazy and don't like returning things, so I gave the mouse to my sister and ordered the Old Version. Buy them up while you still can. Everyone uses them around my office because it is a superior mouse. Update - 10/21/2012 I noticed they changed the names of these two mice. I looked back at my previous Amazon email confirmations and found that: "Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX - Old Version" is now called "Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX - Matte Black". "Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX for PC and Mac (910-002896) - New Version" is now called "Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX for PC and Mac (910-002896) - Gloss Black". The price has also fluctuated and now the Newer model is cheaper than the Older one (most likely due to the older one's stock getting closer to selling out). I have purchased another Older one to keep as a back up before I can no longer get one (I go through mice pretty fast because I'm a heavy user). Due to the change in name and price I have added back the 2 stars I originally docked. Now the user knows exactly what they are getting. Thank you Amazon/Logitech.
