Over the past few years, the PC has slowly but surely begun to emerge as a primary source of digital playback and home-based media entertainment for many users. This has led to the emergence of lifestyle-segment based peripherals, from manufacturers such as Logitech.
Not only are these products designed to look exceptionally good, but they also pack in some very advanced features. We had reviewed one such product (Logitech’s DiNovo Edge Keyboard) earlier this year and had come away impressed with both its styling and its good use of current-generation technologies.
In the same vein, Logitech recently introduced its 'MX Air Mouse' which can be used in a manner similar to operating a TV remote. Does the Air mouse live up to the standards set by DiNovo? Read on to find out.
Another problem that the long shape causes is the rather absurd amount of wasted physical space. The mouse could easily have been smaller and still as functional. This is of course a rather YMMV situation. If your use does not exceed the normal web surfing, office document use and other sundry PC-related activities, the mouse is fine.
For its buttons the mouse uses an orange backlit electronic touchpad system that works quite well. It registers presses quite easily and caused no problems. Apart from the rather obvious left/right click buttons the mouse also sports a finger-based scroll pad, and four dedicated buttons (for volume, back/forward, selection, and play).
