I use the Logitech MX 1000 right now and before that I used the Logitech MX 500. I'll say this: I *love* the features of the MX 1000. However, there are two things I wish I could have back from the MX 500. First, and most significantly, the scrollwheel on the MX 500 presses MUCH more easily than the MX 1000. If I could mix the ease of scrolling on the MX 1000 with the ease of pressing on the MX 500, I would be very happy. This may seem nitpicky, but I've found that the amount of force that's needed to press the scrollwheel button ends up hurting my hand after extended use. Related to that, I prefer the shape of the MX 500 to the MX 1000 as well.
So, as much as I love the features of the MX 1000 (although I must admit I almost never use the sidescroll), I've been occasionally looking for a new mouse which would feel more comfortable to me. Sadly, I've been disappointed. Logitech has newer products which have similar designs to the MX 500, but they're all lacking in some feature I like from the MX 1000. The closest I've found to what I'm looking for is the Logitech G7. It may seem like a minor complaint, but the big thing missing from that one for me is the forward thumb button. I enjoy being able to move back and forward without using the keyboard. For now, I'm sticking with the MX 1000 because it has the features I've come to rely on, but I'm keeping my eye out for a similarly featured mouse whose scrollwheel button has less resistance as well.
