I use the MX-700 and dig it. Wish Logitech sold the wireless keyboard by itself without having to buy a transmitter again.

Anyways, there is an important little fact that does not get noticed in the DPI spec breast beating: USB ports don't hit any device, mice included, for a data fetch more than about 220 times a second. It depends on the number of USB gadgets on that hub, the more there are the worse. PS2 isn't much better. But it kinda makes ultra-high DPI sensors redundant. You move the mouse more than six "pixels" of co-ordinates in its sensor per data fetch when doing something mundane like browsing the web...the extra resolution makes an incredibly miniscule impact on the difference. The best thing to do for response is to make sure the mouse has a whole USB controller all to its little self.

Its like guys who have systems ramped with a 6800 Ultra in a Vapochill pushing 100FPS in current games, while playing on a 60hz refresh LCD monitor. Its pointless 'cause the monitor can't display all those extra frames.
