Logitech MX Revolution Mouse Reviews

Bottom-Line: For a general purpose optical pointing device, the Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Mouse can't be beat.

I bought the MX Revolution Laser Cordless Mouse because frankly I was tired of my old mouse and I wanted to reduce the number of cords underneath my desk.  And I wanted a cordless without the large transceiver and Logitech delivered again with the MX Revolution, with a unit the size of a small stick of gum and plugs into any available USB port.    

The Mouse

At first glance the MX Revolution is a little unusual; it is not shaped like any other mouse I have used in the past including...

I am an everyday computer user and couldn't imagine life without it.  I can't even say how many computer mice I have been through with each one being just as disappointing as the last.  I really didn't see this accessory as a very important part of my computer setup so I would only spend around $20 or less.  No wonder I went through so many.  I finally got fed up, did some research, and decided to purchase the Logitech MX Revolution Mouse.  It was a bit pricey at around $80 but well worth it in the long run.

I have enough old computer pointing devices to start up a museum. I use the term "pointing devices" since an old Wacom pen tablet is included in that list. None even come close to the incredible features of the Logitech Revolution series.

Both the Logitech Revolution MX and its miniature Logitech Revolution VX have:

• no wires (RF, not bluetooth)

I bought this mouse because it was recommended by Kyle, our local "geek on the go".  I am more of a practical business user.  However, since a few of my previous wireless mice had crapped out on me at home, I thought this one sounded good and recently purchased it.  I am very impressed for the following reasons:

1) I did not realize that the Logitech MX Revolution Mouse is rechargeable which I really like.  I find that in my other wireless mice, I am constantly replacing the battery.  And, the little charging station is sleek and cool looking.

2) The biggest new feature of the Logitech MX...

   I've used these for awhile. I've got 2 of them now.  It's everything I need from a mouse at this point.  It's extremely accurate, customizable,  fast(although not fast enough that I'd recommend to hardcore gamers), and wireless.  Some have complained about it not being bluetooth, but that's never been a drawback for me.  I can usually get a couple weeks out of the battery with normal daily use.  

  It requires 2 pieces other than the mouse itself.  One plugged into the usb port for connectivity and one plugged into the wall for charging. It would be nice if they could maybe combine...
