Up until a few days back, I was under the impression that a mouse is probably the simplest device essentially used with a computer. There’s nothing much to it anyway – it’s supposed to be a pointing device with two or three buttons on it. I still fairly remember the day my dad introduced me to the different mice in his office, and I spent close to an hour playing with one of them. Yes, we’re still talking about the computer peripheral here, relax.
However, gone are the days when the mouse was ‘just’ a pointing device. No sire, the beloved mouse has evolved through all these generations where precision, accuracy, light-weight, multiple buttons are features that, if absent, make sure the mouse isn’t too popular. With the advancement in technology, Gaming has taken generation leaps to become what we see today. And the mouse is the primary weapon of the gamer. So much so, that it is extremely important for the gamer to settle down and be comfortable with mouse he’s going to use. In fact, almost every gamer I know carries his own choice of mouse to any competition he competes in.
Logitech is, undoubtedly, the pioneer when it comes to mouse technology. The company name has almost become synonymous with mice. Over the years, they have catered to the customers’ need, coming up with newer and newer technologies and feature sets. I still remember my first mouse – a two-button, mechanical, no scroll-wheel mouse and I still have it lying in the loft along with the remaining computer junk. All these years, most of the mice I’ve purchased have been Logitech. My primary mouse, even today, is the Logitech MX518 which I purchased a few months back. So when it was time to review their limelight product, I jumped right up in excitement.
