Question 1

Dimension? I think 8.3 x 2.3 x 7.1 inches is the packaging size?

Accepted Answer

You're right. Actual size is 4.0 x 2.2 x 1.5 inchest from LOGITECH website. I own this mouse, it's great for laptops. I reported to Amazon years ago they've listed wrong specs but they just ignored it.

Question 2

Does this *really* work with Mac in a full-featured way? or in just a kind of pedestrian mouse way?

Accepted Answer

This mouse has two side buttons,  a clickable scroll wheel, the scroll wheel also clicks left and right. Every function or combination of functions work perfectly with a Mac, providing you do NOT use Logitech downloadable controller. Instead, use the outstanding SteerMouse app, available as a download.

Question 3

Is the scroll wheel smooth or notched? Does the wheel have any rolling resistance?

Accepted Answer

The scroll wheel is about 99% smooth as you can feel the notches if you really think about it. It has no rolling resistance but you can scroll a few lines at a time when you get used to it. That is a good thing if you want to scroll fast, but a bad thing when you try to "select" something by clicking the scroll wheel as you will probably miss it as with your finger being on the wheel, any tiny movement  will make it move. My work-around to this is, if I am in the browser and want to put something into a tab, I right click the item (brings up the menu) and then hit "T" to open in a new tab. If you are in maybe a word processor and want to select a file to open, you can right click the file, bring up the menu and click on "open".  I find that after you get used to doing this, it is maybe a little faster and no chance of an error (think "drag and drop" as opposed to "cut or copy and paste").Except for this one thing about the scroll wheel, I really like the mouse. Being able to turn it off without removing the sender from the computer or keyboard or hub is a big plus for me. I've had mine for 3 months now and I really like it.

Question 4

is this a basic 3 button mouse? (two buttons and wheel) or is it a 5 button mouse (has two side buttons)?

Accepted Answer

This is a 3 button mouse with two extra features built into the scroll wheel. Push the scroll wheel left or right and it will go back or forward when surfing the internet on any browser. This is an excellent mouse in my opinion without the need for two side buttons for this feature. The mouse buttons are also programmable for ease of use for any user.
