For a while I've wanted a new mouse to replace my aging and frankly haggard looking MX1000. It's been a great mouse in the five or so years that I've owned it, but now it's missing all it's feet so it drags on the mouse pad and overall it feels a little clunky and worn. The battery also no longer lasts more than a week, ten days at best so I thought it was time I searched for something to replace it.

When I looked around recently, I noticed that Logitech had released two new mice. The mobile Anywhere Mouse MX and the desktop oriented Performance Mouse MX which are the first mice to make use of 'Dark Field Laser Tracking'. Logitech claim that this technology will allow the mice to be operated on ultra smooth, glossy and transparent surfaces such as glass. After mulling it over I decided to go for the Performance Mouse MX ( from here on in referred to as PMMX ) and today I'm going to be giving a review of the mouse to see if its worth it's RRP of £80 (MSRP $99.99).
