Editorial Review: Product Description: Logitech is an international market leader in human interface devices and software that link people to digital information and the Internet and enable them to work, play, learn and communicate more effectively in the digital world. The company's products combine essential core technologies, continuing innovation, award-winning industrial design and excellent price performance. Amazon.com Review: Mice have come a long way since the early days of the Macintosh, with its innovative roller-balled brick. Fast forward 22 years and meet the Logitech MX Revolution. With innovative scrolling technology, rechargeable batteries, and improvements that make it easier to do common tasks, the MX Revolution is definitely a big step in the right direction. Whether or not this mouse is a revolution is up for debate, as it doesn't completely change the way we interact with our computers like the Macintosh mouse did, but it's clearly an important step in the evolution of one mankind's most indispensable tools.
The first thing you'll notice about the MX Revolution is the distinct shape, which is very reminiscent of a cresting wave. Fortunately, the design does more than look good. The mouse feels great in small and large hands, and the curved channel--which accommodates the thumb nicely--makes it easy to use the document "Quick Flip" dial on the side of the mouse. Above the Quick Flip control you'll find a pair of thin, customizable buttons that by default operate as forward and back controls for Web pages. The top of the mouse houses Logitech's tour de force, the MicroGear Precision Scroll Wheel, which dynamically controls the speed and resistance of your scrolling tasks. Side scrolling and a scroll wheel-based button press are also supported. Just behind the scroll wheel sits the quick search button, which pops you into the search engine of your choice.
The MicroGear Scroll Wheel Logitech says that the MicroGear Scroll Wheel "represents the single largest engineering effort ever undertaken by our engineering team," and their hard work shows; the scroll wheel is not only well designed with a smooth, progressive feel, but it is also surprisingly intelligent. Need to quickly scroll through large Web pages and documents? Place the scroll wheel in "freewheel" mode and give the wheel a quick, frictionless spin. The action feels much like a well-oiled roller-ball and offers blazing speed. Need slow scrolling for browsing photo libraries or spreadsheets? Switch to ratchet mode for precise movement. The included SetPoint software can automatically switch modes--a feature called SmartShift--or you can switch modes manually with a light press on the scroll wheel that shifts "gears." A note for Mac users: The Mac version of the MX Revolution Software does not appear to support SmartShift.
Two other nifty functions make the MX Revolution a great tool for productivity freaks and power users. The included software installs an application switcher that is linked to the mouse's thumb wheel, an action called "Quick-Flipping." Clicking the thumb wheel brings up a window listing all currently active application windows. Rotating the wheel and then pressing it again when you've reached your selection brings up the window of your choice. The Fingertip Search, which relies on a small button just behind the scroll wheel, allows you to input any copied text into the search engine of your choice. For OS X users, the action brings up a Spotlight search window. Connection and Power Connecting the MX Revolution couldn't be easier. The included wireless USB dongle was immediately recognized by Windows and Mac machines, and after switching on the power switch on the base of the mouse, we were mousing almost instantaneously. Wireless mice are often a pain when it comes to battery life and replacement. The Revolution MX solves one of these problems by integrating a rechargeable battery. The included charging stand is simple and stylish, although it requires wall power--no USB charging. You'll be using the stand a lot, as we couldn't squeeze much more than a day's work out of the mouse before the low battery indicator appeared. The mouse does not appear to have a sleep mode when it's not active (or when folks inevitably forget to turn it off), a notable omission from a device that is otherwise a home run--as long as you're a right hander.

 Rating:  - Fantastic mouse!Very expensive for a mouse, but well worth it. I have small hands, and it is one of the most comfortable mice I have used. The absolute best and most frequently used features of this mouse are the back and forward buttons and the scroll wheel. You will have to customize the scrolling options to suit your preferences, but I love the two different types of scrolling. The battery lasts a long time and the charging station is very cool. Rating:  - Unreliable parts, works on LinuxI have this mouse for like 8 months now, and it's worked ok except for two annoyances. First, you have to fiddle with its position on the cradle so it begins to charge. When I first got it, more than once I left it to charge overnight only to find the next day that it didn't charge at all. So now I always have to make sure the mouse is properly seated and charging. This is oh so annoying. On the plus side, after all these months, the battery still lasts a long time, like ... Read More Rating: - best used as a professional tool, simply outstandingNo one on here seems to truly understand WHY this mouse is worth every penny. It's not the fancy scrolling, it's not the alt-tabbing thumb wheel, and it's certainly not the auto search option. Quite simply it is the fact that this mouse has more buttons than any other on the market as far as I know of, and they are all easily changed to perform any task you want. Let me run it down the line: Before I bought this mouse I had used a Microsoft 5-button Intellimouse for years. I loved ... Read More Rating: - Very comfortable - no horizontal scroll wheelI bought this mouse because I thought the side wheel could be configured for horizontal scrolling. I was very disappointed when I discovered it wasn't really a wheel but a button. I do a lot of work with spreadsheets and the sideways motion of the top wheel does not work as well as my previous 2 wheel mouse. The other thing I noticed is when the top wheel is put into non-click mode it tends to pop back into click mode. On the plus side the mouse is very comfortable and works well on ... Read More Rating: - Spactacular Human Interface Device!Seems like there is a few negative views on quality for the MX Revolution. I hoped that wasn't true when I bought it. I've used it at work day in and out for 6 months and it works as good as new. The interface features are superb! The programmable button features per application allows just about every keyboard operation to be done while mousing. If you have ever been stuck with repetitive mouse to keyboard gyrations, it's such a smart relief with the Revolution! Prior to this mouse I was aggrevated ... Read More |
