Wrapping your hand around the Logitech LX7 is a strange experience. As your fingers come into reach of the blue-and-black creature, you don't expect much. From a distance, the LX7 doesn't appear to have been made to fit any particular hand. While some mice look as if they take inspiration from a wad of silly-putty that has been squeezed for an hour or two, the LX7 is simply a enlarged version of the classic two-button mouse. But once you take it into your hand, you realize a funny thing; the LX7 feels better than many of the putty-esqe grips which have become increasingly popular in mid-range mice.
Perhaps this is because there isn't a lot of LX7 to grab. Although it far from the mini-me mice marketed as laptop companions, it is on the slender size, and isn't particularly tall, either. As a result, the Logitech LX7 doesn't mess much with your hand's natural grip. That is a good thing. Another good thing is the weight (thanks to the batteries - this is a wireless mouse), which keeps the mouse from feeling jittery during fast movements.
In terms of aesthetics, the LX7 doesn't look as good as it feels. That said, it does come heads-and-shoulders above many of its peers. The simple black-and-blue color scheme isn't outstanding, but it conveys a serious attitude without becoming tacky. At the same time, the fact it actually has a color scheme, as opposed to Logitech's more boring black-and-silver layout found on many of its low and mid-range products, keeps it from being lost in the clutter of your desktop. In other words, the LX7 is a good compromise between outlandish and boring, but it doesn't look nearly as cool as, say, the Logitech MX Revolution .
