I have gone through two of these mice and I have had the same problem with both of them. The first one on my system was great up until about a year after I purchased it when I noticed the motion starting to lag and also sometimes when trying to select something the mouse would automatically release the drag - very annoying! It progressively got worse and I ended up sending it in to Logitech under warranty. Logitech said it was defective and replaced it and everything was good again. So now it's been about a year since I've been using the replacement and I'm starting to notice a lag again that is again progressively getting worse. The good thing is that Logitech does give a 3 year warranty on the mouse but it's a pain to have to send it in again. I really love the mouse cause it's really functional, quick to respond (usually), looks nice, fits my hand perfectly...I just don't know what's up with the lagging problem.
