Logitech MX Air

Design & Looks

Logitech seems determined to rule out Mac OS X users and to irritate them until steam comes out of their ears. The Logitech MX Air is a great “mid-air” mouse, i.e. you can move it through 3D space and the cursor will follow your movements. But to make the most of the mouse, you need drivers. On Windows PCs, Logitech’s drivers are OK. They work fine and are continuously updated.

Mac users are not so lucky: the latest Logitech drivers I downloaded made several other applications --totally unrelated to mouse drivers-- unstable.

Performance

Logitech doesn’t seem to realise Mac OS X is becoming increasingly important in the market of PCs. The Mac market share is slowly but steadily growing. Much of that we owe to Microsoft’s market arrogance, and to Apple’s obsession with design. Logitech doesn’t seem to care. A pity, because devices like the MX Air have great looks and there’s something Sci-Fi about gesticulating with your mouse and see the cursor fly all over the screen.
