At first I loved this mouse. I actually bought one for work and one for home. The problem is that the left mouse button intermittently interprets as single click as a double click. This is incredibly frustrating. It only occurs when you click near the scroll wheel.
I have already taken one unit back to the place of purchase and replaced it only to find that the replacement does exactly the same thing.
It does the same thing on both my laptop at home and my work computer. It is clearly a hardware problem and not software. You have been warned.

Response from Logitech:By Logitech Australia, Logitech Australia, 12 May 2012
Hey Annoyed that's quite amazing to hear actually. Most of the team use this mouse in the office and haven't found this issue, so that's really strange. Can you email your Case ID & details to ausmarketing@logitech.com as we'd like to investigate further please

The MAIN reasons i bought this mouse was
1. Darkfield (so i can use it on all surfaces especially glass)
2. CHEAP (very good value for what you get)
3. Wireless and Rechargeable
4. Quality ( 1 year on and its still the same as when i first got it)
5. Performance and overall functionality
Absolutely one of the best mice i have owed, it looks great, battery last about a month with heavy usage, solid built, great value, hyperscrolling is awesome, customizable, overall very good mouse.

Most of u are here probably gonna guy another mouse, just checking this 1 out. but this mouse was just so simple. set up in 10 mnutes with a helpful handbook. so comfortable, and features i now take for granted. the hyper scrolling very very handy and customizable keys help while internet browsing. it is amazingly accurate, strong built and still pretty light. looks are sexy. i recommend it as it is worth every penny.

I bought the M950 to replace my old G5 gaming mouse that I use at work. Working in a GIS/Design environment I need a good quality mouse with variable DPI and after using a proper gaming mouse for the last 4yrs I really had no choice then to better it by going wireless.
The shape of the mouse looks and feels a bit weird at first but I not only got used to it but I now prefer it as it gives better control and handling, plus the extra buttons are all very close to my thumb and are easy to use. The Mouse has a good amount of weight to it, it feels solid and strong; all the aspects of a good mouse.
The Logitech software is a breeze to use and setup and the wireless dongle works with no hassle what so ever; just plug it in and turn on the mouse and away you go! Simple. Battery life is good and the mouse can be charged on the fly via a USB cable (supplied) so there is no down time or having to dock the mouse while it charges. A nice surprise was the included AC wall plug charger that you can plug the USB charge cable in to if you're using a Laptop with limited USB ports. Also worth noting was the cable and AC adapter carry bag that comes as standard with the M950, a very nice little bonus and something you don't often see out side of Pro gaming gear.
All up the mouse feels great, works better than I could have hoped and made me feel like a kid on Xmas morning emptying his stocking finding all the little extras that came with it in the box. Another job well done Logitech!

I bought this mouse to replace the faulty Logitech MX1100 I received from a shady ebay seller; initially i was expecting much the same experience as i had read reviews comparing this mouse to its cousin. What I got was MUCH more than I expected. Put simply, this is the best mouse I've ever used.
The premium rubberised feel and flashy chrome accent is impressive, as is the application flexibility this mouse offers. However if application-specific button assignments and on-the-fly DPI adjustments baffle you, this is probably not the mouse for you. The packaged SetPoint software does a good job of making the customising of buttons fairly easy, but it may be confusing for some. It's a laborious process, setting up each customisable button in all your different games if you're an avid gamer...Also, I've noticed the SetPoint software has more than once deleted all my app-specific presets...for no reason.
If software is one of its weak points, one redeeming feature this mouse has is the hardware; I'll keep this list short: having the Darkfield tech means it works on almost ANY surface--glass for example. The ability to assign the adjustable DPI feature to a button means gamers and graphic designers alike can adjust the sensitivity of the mouse (for short sharp movements or carefully lining up headshots--or for making fine or large adjustments to a hi-res digital image) and the pressure-sensitive side-scrolling feature is an innovation ive never seen before. The scroller also has a button that switches it from single-notch to free-flying - essential for those who need to scroll through looooong word documents, webpages or PDF files, and of course because it shares Logitech's tiny unifying receiver technology means you don't have to fill all your computer's USB ports with big, unwieldy receivers.
All up, this mouse is enticingly good value for money, and has an impressive feature set that has certainly satisfied this power user and casual gamer.

First of all, I would like to declare that I was selected to review the M950 mouse as part of Logitech Australia's Product Tester Program. I use this mouse at work; a large part involving working with medical radiology images. It has replaced the generic HP mouse bundled with my work computer. My other mouse, the G700, I use with my desktop at home.
Unpacking: As always, like all Logitech products, the M950 was very well packed. Inclusion of the cable case and wall charger adapter was a nice touch.
Feel: This mouse feels extremely comfortable to hold in my average-sized right hand (sorry lefties!). The curved surface is big enough to fit my entire palm and I particularly like the lip under the thumb that is big enough to eliminate any chance of thumb-mousepad contact. The matte surface also feels great and does not feel sticky even when used with sweaty hands. The teflon feet are as smooth as any mouse can get. Motion is effortless. The mouse weighs exactly 170 grams including the bundled NiMh battery and has a very high quality feel.
Wheel: The hyperscroll wheel allows quick scrolling through large documents and is toggled via the switch just behind the wheel. I don't use this feature much but I'm sure it will be great for people who work with large excel worksheets.
Buttons: There are 4 programmable thumb buttons which can be programmed to do practically anything. I have reprogrammed mine to zoom in/out when viewing radiology images and can invert colours on the fly. Very convenient as these tasks were once keyboard jobs.
Wireless performance: The unifying USB receiver is tiny and I love the fact that it will link with the wireless solar keyboard I plan to purchase in the near future. Not sure what the maximum wireless range is but it still works from 4 metres away (the opposite end of my office).
Battery life: With average-heavy use, the replaceable NiMH AA battery lasts approx 7 days. The battery-life indicator is convenient. Charging is via a usb cable essentially converting the mouse to a wired one temporarily. I'm glad Logitech have done away with charging docks.
Sensor: The tracking performance of this mouse is amazing. The accuracy is flawless. The darkfield sensor even allows it to be used on glass!
Overall: A lot of thought has obviously gone into the design and development of this mouse. I predict many years of use. I thank Logitech Australia for making my life at work a little bit easier.

To All, I highly recommend this model to anyone. Although if you have a smallish hand you are probably better looking else where. The scroll wheel is a great feature and being able to click and scroll in short or long page spreads is great, especially when viewing web sites. Also, the customising is great. Highly recommended.

The plain brown box that was left on my doorstep did not indicate anything about the beauty that was within. I dont think I have ever looked at a PC peripheral and thought "geez that thing looks awsome". The Logitech M950 Performance Mouse could quite easliy sit on the side table as an art peice once its use by date has expired. As you can probably tell, I am quite happy with its looks, but it is a mouse after all and thats not what its here to do.
Once I had it out of the box and on my desk, it was time to put it through some serious paces. I do graphic design work for golf course architects, so I use AutoCAD quite a bit along with some other software the requires a high degree of accuracy. . I have had quite a few optical and laser mice over the years and this is definately the most accurate that I have used. The overall feel in the hand is quite comfortable and is not too heavy, so is very suited to long hours of use without cramping the hand up at all. Having four thumb buttons rather than the usuall two is very handy (excuse the pun :) ) and even more so is the ablitly to re map these buttons to make them do pretty much anything you like. This makes my life much simpler as I can assign functions in AutoCAD that I would normally need to use a keyboard key for, saving me precious time when the pressure is on. I'm particularly fond of the hyper scrolling wheel that has the ability to be slowed down for much more control with the button on top of the mouse. Hyper scrolling is great for those very long webpages that just seem to go on forever. Being able to scroll through so many lines in a quick flick of the finger is great fun.
One of the other features I was keen to try out was the new laser techology that is called Darkfield Laser Tracking. This new tech allows the mouse to be used on just about any surface that you can find, even glass. This is great for those who have funky new desks that have glass tops and dont want to ruin the look by placing an ugly mouse pad there just to get the mouse to work. I tried it on many surfaces and the accuracy remained the same, so its nice to have a new feature that works how it is meant to work.
I also have my PC setup as a media center for streaming to the TV in the lounge room. I am pleased to report that the receiver has a great range. I have had the mouse up to 12 - 15 metres away from the PC and it still works fine.
About the only thing I could think of that I would love to see, is the ability to change the weight if needed with counter weights, similar to whats available in the golfing world with the Taylor Made R series of drivers. Its weight is perfect for heavy use, but I would really like a little more weight when it comes to gaming, it just seems to add more accuracy when using fast paced shooters and similar games. Im not sure how easy this would be to work into newer designs, but I think it would be a hit for the gaming nuts out there.
The last thing I will report on is the charging ability. I am not sure how much charge it would have had when I received it, but it did go flat about a week ago. It is still going strong now so it will be interesting to see how much charge it holds when it is in use for bewtween 8 - 12 hours a day. A really usefull feature is being able to have it charging while still being in use, very handy, as everyone will know, wireless items go flat just at the wrong time. So keep the charging lead handy and you will never be without a mouse again.
All in all it is the best mouse I have used to date and is highly recomended.

Personally, I long for the return of the MX Revolution mouse with one MAJOR improvement-it needed to have a recharging facility similar to most corded phones (that was its only defect). It was brilliant and had more programable buttons than the MX 950. Frankly, I don't need to use my mouse on a glass surface, so that benefit is completely wasted on me; no doubt, it's fine for those who do.
The MX 950 is OK (I'd give it 8/10) and has, as its main feature in my view, an excellent recharging system which is readily engaged whenever necessary.

This is a terrific mouse. The USB receiver sits nearly flush to laptop, so lives there 24/7. The mouse is a perfect fit to your hand's shape, especially a big hand like mine. The click-less scrolling (you can choose clicks or click-less with press of a button on the top of hte mouse) is one of my favorite features, as is the thumb click for showing all open windows.
Charge lasts forever too.
Love it so much have bought another for home.

Over the 30+ years I have owned many mouse units. The M950 is far and away the most comfortable and the easily programmable buttons, via included easy-to-use software make the overall "usability" a joy.
I use it on a painted (letterbox red) surface without a mat. I do find it to be not quite fine-grained for accuracy, but I suspect that may have to do with the "gliders".
-- To this end I am considering purchasing a mat.
-- To this end I am considering purchasing a mat.
One suggestion I would make is for there to be alternative / replacement gliders made available for (online) purchase.

The Logitech M950 is a great all rounder mouse. The M950 is offers great ergonomics which make it quite comfortable to use for extended periods of use. Battery life is a little on the short side but is not much of a worry given it comes with a rechargeable battery and a front facing micro B USB port for charging from any USB power source.
The M950's Dark Field laser really does seem to work on any common surface including glass. I have found it to work just as smooth on rough undulating surfaces as with smooth surfaces. This makes it quite a good mouse to use with Laptops, Netbooks and Notebooks.
The scroll wheel has a nice feel to it and makes scrolling through lengthy pages a breeze. The build quality is typical Logitech quality so you know it will last a long time and be reliable.
I wouldn't class the M950 as a fantastic gaming mouse but still works well for gaming. It really is a good all rounder that I am happy to use. Thanks again Logitech.

I've used several mice in my days (base model Logitec, base model Microsoft, Logitec G5 gaming mouse and this M950) and I found that the M950 is quite good quality in terms of materials and function. The thumb button is handy and isn't easily miss-pressed. The other thumb buttons (back and forward) are relatively easy to press, but for some reason, are mounted about the less used 'zoom' button. It's not annoying, just slightly odd. The scrolling wheel has good feel in both 'normal' and 'hyper' scrolling modes. (Hyper-scroll is actually very handy.) The sideways scrolling is an analogue affair which is helpful for fine scrolling - especially if you're using this mouse for design purposes. However, the chrome sides of the wheel don't lend to the utmost ease in sideways grip. That said, it's not inconveniently difficult. My main gripe with the M950 is it's heavy weight. After two months of using it, I developed pain in my wrist. So I reverted to my very basic corded Microsoft mouse and after a week, the pain in my wrist dissipated.

I have had a few mouse and i need a good mouse for photoshop work and i have found the M509 to be the best that i have had yet. it is larger but this helps in what i do. Having the power sources i find are terrific as i don't have to worry about batteries as i can connect to the keyboard and keep going. it was a lot of money at the time and i am worried what to do if it crashes as others have done in the past, as it is a lot of money to just throw in the bin. but i will worry about that when it happens. i would still go and get another M509 though and then see if i could get this one repaired first or later. Overall i love it as it has everything that i need for work of just general play. Thanks Logitech for a great work tool.

I've never bought any high-end mouse before, because I think they are all way too expensive and all mice are just the same. but then when I finally decided to buy this mouse, it turns out fantastic! It has all the ease of control that I want, except that I can't "open a link in a new tab' even with that many shortcuts attach on the mouse. but other than that,it is an awesome mouse!
