Where do I start? If anyone has had a logitech mouse you'll know it's all about comfort. This mouse is a perfect upgrade its really, really comfortable. I just opened it and it had fully charged within 2 hours. It connected straight away I didn't need to do anything apart from switch the mouse on.
As for some previous comments... The on off button does not seem to catch my desk. The scrollers are not in the way at all. The software is very easy to use you can change what every button does. The scroller on the top of the mouse is soo clever. you can set it so in some programs it acts in the normal way and feels rough in a way (normal) and in others it scrolls like a roller (smooth and fast).
The bit on the bottom of the mouse (that sticks out) provides superb support for your thumb. The ergonomics of this mouse are superb but I cannot see a left handed person using this mouse. For anyone worried about the laser I cannot see anything when I lift the mouse up. Also, the battery lights on the front (to indicate battry life yet) are very clear and very useful, the lights go out when the mouse is not in action (possibly to save battery power).
I've been using this mouse a lot for graphic design this morning from 10:30 and up till now the battery life is still showing 3 of 3 bars.
ONCE AGAIN THIS MOUSE IS SO COMFORTABLE ITS UNREAL AND IT LOOKS...WELL YOU'VE SEEN THE PICTURES.
Blimin Excellent buy I wouldn't care if it was £80+ lovely mouse, congratulations Logitech. |
Now that's what I call a mouse!

After having used a Mac Mighty Mouse for quite a few years, I decided I should look for something a bit more comfortable, bearing in mind how long I sit at my Mac, and also find something that maybe saved some clicking and moving work....well, the MX revolution is it.
Set up perfectly first time with my Mac using the Logitech Control Centre software (make sure you get the latest version from the Logitech site, as the CD with the mouse will be an older version probably).
The mouse is very comfortable to use, for me anyway, and the thumb rest on the right hand side is a nice change from most mice....but be aware this mouse will only suit right handers....sorry lefties, you are going to have to miss out.
Configuration....WOW, thats where this mouse comes into its own, with at least 12 different clicks, rolls or presses you can make this do what you want. I have the usual click and double click, plus a button to close any open app, really handy on a mac as you dont have the red close icon in the top right as windows users do, so this saves me selecting file and quit from menus every time. Also set up for volume up and volume down, show desktop and expose (a mac feature that shows all the open windows shrunk down at once so you can easily select the one you want. With highly customisable scrolling up and down, left and right its a breeze to navigate any large documents or pages.
Only improvement I can think of would to offer it as bluetooth, so you dont need to use up a USB port with its dongle...this is a desktop mouse, not for a notebook, and most desktop PC's and all Macs today have bluetooth.
So, 9.9 out of 10 Logitech, this is the Rolls Royce of mice, and is going to save me a lot of chasing around the screen with usual clicks. The Amazon price is really good too. Now, I just have to remember what all those buttons I have set up do........!

Great mouse for OS X

I use OS X Leopard and this mouse works wonderfully. The software installs a preference pane which allows you to setup the actions for the various buttons and it works fine.
Just to be clear, the mouse wheel has two modes of operation, and you change between them by clicking the mouse wheel. Mode 1 clicks, mode 2 is a continuous flywheel.
The thumb 'wheel' isn't actually a wheel, it is just a push/pull type of affair. Quite handy. |
Perfect - 3 years onwards and still the best mouse ever....

Bascially, I've had this mouse for over 3 years now. Fifty quid for a mouse? I hear you cry? Yes, and it's excellent. It's even managed to hold it's price. Can you imagine a 'Rolls Royce' for mouses? Bingo - we have a winner.
The rollerball is brilliant. You know those webpages that are soo long, you just wanna quickly get to the top or bottom? Just flick the ball, and it whizzes through. The back button on the top left near the inside 2nd rollorball (yes, 2...), makes it soo easy to QUICKLY navigate through web pages - it's a web surfers dream.
The battery lasts forever, I charge it once say every month? Even 3 years onwards - no problems. It also looks very smart when charging.
The best mouse ever, all 15 BUTTONS of it. Comfortable to use, Sylish, Classy, Sexy...
..and yes, I'm still talking about the mouse. |
My spin on this revolution

| Very likely the best mouse around unless you have a smaller hand (in which case have a look at the arguably even more attractively styled VX version). I decided to use the very comprehensive software settings to allow the click wheel to turn freely at all times. I don't feel there's any real need for the side thumb wheel to toggle through the admittedly sexy looking 3D view (in Vista) of open apps, as it's actually quicker to just click tabs in the conventional fashion. Only slight downside to this mouse is that the click wheel can rattle from side to side a bit, possibly as a consequence of its flywheel mechanism. |
