How well does the Logictech mouse improve the Widows 8 desktop interface. I don't use the"Metro" interface because it is very limited.

My computer (laptop) does not have a touch screen. The logictech mouse is fabulous. It locks the touch pad, has an on and off switch (battery saving). It makes wading thru Windows 8 much much much easier. I am actually beginning to like W8. My computer guru (who does work all over the country and who does not particularly like Windows 8) was VERY impressed with it. It is well worth buying. It makes it almost as easy to use as Windows XP or Windows 7. Can't say enough about it There are no negatives as far as I am concerned. This is not r/t to the mouse, but I am getting a new desktop and have it ordered in Windows 7....so, you tell tell I am not as joyful about W8 as it sounds. I would still not like W8 if it were not for the logitech mouse. You can almost use W8 like a tablet with the mouse.

I must begin by saying that I don't know anything about "Metro" interface. After upgrading from Vista to Windows 8, I found the mouse I was using to be sluggish & not scroll well. I am VERY pleased with this new one, though. I like to side-to-side scrolling feature & the rapid response from this mouse with Windows 8. Hope this helps!

Jim, it works perfectly with W8. I love W8 now that I am used to it. It was definitely a big change.

It allows you to switch between tabs on modern browsers by "sweeping" your finger across the "wheel" and clicking the wheel button switches from the Metro start screen and the desktop...

Yes, I would say that it matched W8 pretty well, almost like it was designed for it.It's what I would call hybrid, a combination of click and touch. Since your not using tiles or (Metro) it should enhance your experience dramatically. Maybe an example could be like using a generic remote or a remote that is designed with or for a product specifically. I would say that with my anywhere mouse in W7 I was matched up. Well the t400 and W8 match and raise.Hope that helps. MrG

Update: J Mead has a point. I recall reading early on, and trying the scrolling feature in this mouse with my PC. At least for me, it proved cumbersome, which is why I never used that aspect. It was the best mouse for the time. But as I said, Mac's fantastic & easy touchpad technology has really turned me away from needing anything like this anymore.

I am using this mouse on both my home and work laptops - Windows 8 & Windows 7 respectively. So far - no problems!!!

I'm using this mouse with Windows 8 and it works perfectly. If you don't install the gaming software, it acts like a normal 3 button mouse with adjustable DPI. With the Logitech G software, you get full programmability. The software is nice if you use other logitech products since you can program everything in one place.

i'm jumping into the conversation here, anybody find a solution for the delay/slow middle mouse button reaction? I need a double-middle click for CAD, this mouse is not cutting it. It is replacing my 4 year old MS Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - excellent btw, just worn out. Was hoping the 3500 was the same mouse, just with BlueTrack.system is brand new, 8g ram etc, drivers new, so performance of the system shouldn't be a factor...

Thanks DSY! My plan is to use an external mouse. I've never been able to get use to any notebook pointer device except ThinkPad's little red pointer. Appreciate the response.Anyone else want to comment?

Hi, I use a Microsoft wireless touch mouse without any problems. It uses an USB Nano transceiver which Works well (about the mouse, do not buy that model, the touch design is more a bother than anything else). Another thing, if you want to upgrade this machine to Windows 8, this would require that you upgrade the bios to enable the hardware buttons. The bios upgrade is not reliable in this device!! (actually, I bricked my asus doing that), please check on internet before do it.

I've used it with windows 8 and windows 8.1. As far as I can tell, the mouse performs top knotch.

I have used the same Logitech Mouse on Windows XP (older Dell machine), Windows 7(newer HP Portable), Apple IMac, Apple MacBookPro's (Older and very new), and I have never had a hiccup. I would be very surprised if you had an issue.

I am running Windows 8 and the Logitech Zone Touch Mouse work beautiful. When I use Windows 8.1 site to check my computer for compatibility all apps & devices checked ok including the Logitech Mouse. I did not download Window 8.1 yet & I will update this answer when I do.

I am running it on win 7 but the mouse is buggy. The cursor will freeze and I have to bang it to work. Also the battery lasts only a couple weeks.

I don't have any experience with windows 8, but i love my wireless mouse. I use it with my laptop because it makes the navigation so much easier.

I had the same issue in Windows 8.1. There was a microsoft update that caused it to become "jittery" on the screen. Don't know the update, but I ended up using it on a Windows 7 PC and everything is fine. The other thing you can look at is the settings for the mouse itself and turn up the sensitivity, and turn off "enhance pointer precision" (if using windows)

This mouse works with Windows 8 without any problems. (at least I have not experienced any)

Ghenghis, I appreciate the suggestions, but I can assure you it is not a memory problem - at least in my case. I do monitor my system and have no such issues. I did not have the middle-button problem with any other mouse, nor did I have a problem loading a page using the left or right mouse keys on the particular mouse in question.Again, thank you for the thoughtful suggestions. I hope you have (or have had) a better experience with this model of mouse.

I'm using Win7 and with SetPoint software you get more functionality with this mouse as well as customization. I would presume Win 8 would be the same. It does work as Plug-n-Play device with regular functionality but with software you get the most from it.

Yes, but like 8.0, It is sometimes difficult to control the lateral scroll movement. It's pretty rapid. I think the vertical scroll sticks when the CPU is loaded. The mouse isn't at all perfected but is very usable. Been using for over a month and don't plan on giving it up. Much better than the scroll pad on my laptop.
