Logitech Arms MX Master Wireless Mouse with a Darkfield Laser

This rodent isn't fazed by glass or glossy surfaces

The hype is high for Logitech's new MX Master Wireless mouse. Featuring a hand-sculpted design and a "Darkfield" laser, Logitech is billing the MX Master as "the new paradigm for precise, fast, comfortable computer navigation." Apparently the peripheral is particularly adept at working across multiple screens, devices, and operating systems, and of course it brings ergonomic traits to the table as well.
Let's first talk a little about the Darkfield laser. As Logitech explains it, optical and traditional laser sensors rely on irregularities in the surface to track the direction and speed of mouse movement. So does Darkfield, but it uses the "smallest possible detail to create a micro-road map of the surface," resulting in better precision on a wider number of services, including glass and glossy finishes.
It also has a speed-adaptive scroll wheel that lets you auto-shift from click-to-click to hyper-fast scrolling, along with a unique thumbwheel that's oriented horizontally for side-to-side scrolling and page switching.
The MX Master Wireless rodent connects to an included Logitech Unifying receiver or via Bluetooth. If you use multiple devices, you can pair the mouse with up to three of them and switch between your systems with the touch of a button on the bottom. Pretty nifty.
You can adjust the sensor from 400 dpi to 1,600 dpi in increments of 200. That doesn't sound like much, though the mouse has racked up some positive first impressions and reviews around the web. We'll let you know our own opinion once we get a chance to test one out.
The MX Master Wireless mouse will be available next month for $100 MSRP.
