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.
Feels good in the hand, and the intelligent scroll wheel is a revelation.

Just remember to turn it off. This baby is a power gulper, not a sipper.

The mouse feels great in small and large hands

Ergonomics and Design
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 "Quick-Flip" thumb wheel makes it easy to quickly switch between active windows.

All in all, it's a surprisingly simple layout for a device that offers a great deal of functionality. Lefties beware, though. You'll find it awkward to use the quick flip dial that's located in the channel on the left side of the mouse. Although Logitech has designed a small ridge on the right side of the mouse that lefties may find supportive this is obviously a mouse built for righties first.
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.

Quick Flip and Fingertip Search
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.
Pros
- Great ergonomics
- MicroGear scroll wheel and fast application switching
- Nifty charging stand
Cons
- Mac support not on par with Windows
- Poor battery life
- Don't bother if you're a lefty

World´s most advanced mouse.
Smarter, faster, and fully-loaded, the MX Revolution gives you powerful new controls that will streamline the way you work.

New, revolutionary, hyper-fast scroll wheel
|
A new concept in PC navigation, the MicroGear Precision Scroll Wheel operates in two distinct modes, allowing you to scroll faster and with more precision than ever before:
Free-spin mode for hyper-fast, nearly frictionless scrolling. With a single flick, the machined alloy wheel spins for up to seven seconds, scrolling hundreds of pages or thousands of rows. Fly through long documents and instantly stop wherever you want.
Click-to-click mode for detailed navigation. An ultra-precise ratchet-scrolling mechanism allows users to move line-by-line through complex spreadsheets, step through slideshows, or travel small vertical distances in documents or Web pages.

Customer Reviews:
"World's most advanced" but not World's most comfort.......2008-01-01
This is supposed to be the top of line mouse from logitech as it is advertised as "World's most advanced mouse". It does have the features to be the most advanced. The rocking feature, MicroGear Scroll Wheel, is out of my expectation as it is the mouse driver which decide whether the wheel to go smoothly or click-to-click instead of you. Also, this mouse is not clumsy despite its mordern functions.
However, it is not the world's most comfortable mouse. Again the MicroGear Scroll Wheel will make you feel that you are not in control with this mouse. The second wheel which is besides your thumb in fact take up the space of your thumb. The forward and backward buttons are too slim that you have to click them carefully being afraid of breaking them.
Maybe this feeling will go away after some more time, if the durability of this mouse is indeed good.
Best Wireless Mouse.......2007-12-30
Great features and most buttons are programble. Unit works well from 25 feet away. Best of all is the fast scroll wheel, works great on long documents.
nice mouse.......2007-12-30
I bought this mouse when it was on sale recently after I started having troubles with my much-beloved and aging MX610. I am a heavy computer user, but only a casual gamer (guildwars, sims 2). I would say that this mouse is a very nice one, and that the only issue I had was the thumb rocker wheel. I kept hitting it and switching my game out of full screen mode. I solved this problem by changing the thumb wheel function to volume control using the included setpoint software. Much more convenient.
I love this mouse.
Logitech Cordless Laser Mouse.......2007-12-29
This cordless mouse is absolutely great. I am now considering a cordless keyboard. I was hesitant but my husband was gung ho to buy one of these. Since I've used it I wouldn't have anything else. No wire hanging so you aren't limited to where you can put it because of the length of the wire. I would definitely recommend it.
awesome! .......2007-12-29
Since it was a great deal on black friday, I went ahead and purchased it. This mouse is awesome. It's so easy to use and the battery to it last quite a long time. It has a charger where you dock your mouse. It's a worth it product!

Performs as advertised.......2007-09-03
Crucial Technology 512MB 144-Pin PC133 133Mhz SODIMM SDRAM
I bought this memory upgrade for an old Dell C610 notebook that was barely chugging along on the OEM 256Mb RAM. The new 512 chip combined with one of the old 128 chips now gives the machine a respectable 640Mb, and the difference in performance is nothing short of amazing. This product is highly recommended as a cheap performance upgrade on older laptops.
Excellent Memory Upgrade.......2006-02-28
I upgrade an old T23 Thinkpad, from 128 MB to 512MB, and it rocks, fully compatible PC 133 SODIMM, now I am waiting my battery replacement
