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:  - best mouse i have usedi have used several different mice over the years and this is my favorite so far. comfy ergonomics and the free spinning scroll wheel make it a winner. you can customize every button making it the perfect mouse for whatever your work flow might be. i use this with a 24" Intel iMac with no problems at all. Rating: - Excellent productI bought this mouse about 4 weeks ago. Since it came almost fully charged, I had to recharge it only once so far. Hence, the battery is very good. However, as in all devices where the battery is irreplacable, I worry that it will die eventually. I think the mouse is of a great quality. The software should offer a little more flexibiliy in defining the functions of the many buttons. Before I got this mouse I tried the Logitech New G5, which I returned because of the weird surface. This ... Read More Rating: - Best thing that has ever happened to meAs I'm on the computer 12-15 hrs/day, this little mouse is my savior. I received the larger wireless Logitech Mouse with my wireless keyboard - and it doesn't even come close to this smooth operator. Love it, simply put. Rating: - The Best Mouse everMy 2 last mice were 2 craps. The first one was from the brand with the fruit (or Adam's) and the "revolutionary" 360 degrees ball got stuck in 3 months, Of course like all the product from this brand, no way to open the mouse and fix it. The other one was a McrSft, perfectly energy inefficient, wireless at 2 ft maximum and many other things. But Oh My G... The logitech MX revolution is really a revolution !!! This wheel is the fantasy of every one who spend time on the internet or doing ... Read More Rating: - Excellent MouseIm not sure what all to say. I like the scrolling, i like the smoothness of the movement when using this mouse. The ergonomics are good. I highly recommend. The only recommendation i have is the ability to use the same nano USB with this mouse, my nano and keypad. |
