This is one of the best corded mouses money can buy. I got this after a similar wireless mouse had frequent short disconnects when trying to connect to the USB wireless receiver. In contrast, this corded model works very smoothly and the fast scroll wheel makes it very easy to navigate through long web pages or documents. It fits my hand like a glove and all the buttons are at just the right location. If you are looking for a new, corded mouse and don't want the battery hassle or occasional connection issues of some wireless models, you've just found the mouse you'll need. Excellent product and another quality product from Logitech.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought one of these to use insead of my wireless MX620, because in my experience wired mice are more responsive and accurate than their wireless counterparts. And the M500 is indeed more responsive and accurate (measured in terms of drawing straight lines in Paint), so it's a good mouse in that respect.
However I sent it back because I didn't like the feel of the microswitches for the left and right buttons. There didn't seem to be much travel in them and the click felt a bit "mushy" and not very satisfying. It's perhaps a subjective thing, but the microswitch components were clearly different to the MX620's.
But the main reason why you probably shouldn't buy this mouse is because you can get the Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse instead, which is in just about every respect a superior product. Don't be put off by the fact it's called a "gaming mouse"; this just means it's just a higher specifictation and has many features that make it good for general purpose desktop use, and especially for graphics work.
Prices vary, but a few days ago both the M500 and G500 were selling at about the same price (£30-32)... I notice that today the M500 is about £5.50 cheaper, but I still think the G500 is easily worth the extra. I'm not sure how Amazon sells them so cheaply, nearly half price from their RRP and £15 cheaper than most places online, but who cares... grab a bargain while you can! The G500 has variable precision, higher reporting frequency, a nice braided cable, more buttons (to which you can assign macros), larger sliding pads, variable weighting.
The only reason you might go for the M500 is because you prefer the more sober colour scheme, or because it's apparently 6g lighter (144g vs 150g, although that's a pretty small difference).

I spend a lot of time on web based applications and editing documents for work. I was getting RSI in my mouse finger and forearm after an especially heavy bought of work. I bought this baby to see if it would help. It replaced a standard Dell laser mouse.
It's a big improvement. It's comfortable and the buttons can be customized resulting in fewer flicks and less movement of my wrist/forearm. I can click to go page down/page up for example without moving my arm at all, it makes surfing and editing much easier, faster and more convenient.
It seems to be helping my RSI after only a couple of days. I would never go back to a standard mouse - highly recommended especially if you're even a twinge from RSI. Otherwise its just an great mouse.
