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.

Toggle between open documents with the convenient Quick-Flip thumb wheel, or search the Web by highlighting a word or phrase and pressing the Search button. 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.

 Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! December 3, 2008
David Navarro (San Salvador, El Salvador CA)
First of all I just want to say That AMAZON rules. The shipping speed is insane I ordered it standard shipping but i got it in 2 days I mean wow.
Well when it comes to the mouse itself I just have to say that this mouse blowed me away. I will try to explain the reason this mouse is so amazing.
1) Technical Specs.
It is pretty easy to use just plug and play, although you have ot install the software if you want to get the best out of this beauty. The time respond it is amazing; running my Gaming laptop on over extreme and the mouse respond like nothing. The side buttons are just amazong pretty handy and you can set a bunch of task assign to each button, and that my friends is very very cool. Lets not forget that it's greatest tool is the Hyper-Fast Scrolling that won't make you feel tire.
2) Apperance and Comfort
Well the only thing I can say that this mouse looks great and it won't matter if you have small hands or big hands; you will feel it like if was meant to be in your hand jajaja. The overall design is a pretty neat black and gray finish with silver touches. No one will get tire using this mouse because it is very confy.
3) Overall
I really recomend this mouse to anyone that wants a quality mouse fill woth tons of fetures. I will try to make another review after a month or something like that. So anyone can have a better idea of what to expect from this thing.
A Mouse Among Rats December 2, 2008
Samuel D. Perry (New York)
Wow! This has to be the best mouse I have ever used. All others are simply rats. The way it fits to my hand is just wonderful. Whoever wrote the review about it being to small for their hands must have large hands because this mouse is huge. Aside from the fit the buttons are in the perfect place and already come in handy. Charging is a breeze, plug in and leave. Installation is easy too, just plug in the mouse and it works right away. If you want the special features then you will have to install the software which is equally as easy. The shifting has to be one of the coolest features. Just a quick spin and the ratchet will disengage. My previous Logitech mouse (VX Revolution) had this feature but because it was a manual switch on the bottom I never used it. The only problem is I find myself constantly playing with it too often, its that fun. Overall I am completely satisfied with the mouse and would defiantly had paid full price if it was not part of the Black Friday Deals. With that being said...
I don't know if it was just the holiday rush or something else but my package arrived very beat up. The shipping box was fine and USPS did a good job keeping it intact but when I opened it the box for the mouse was in very bad condition. I was almost afraid my product was damaged. I hope it was just because of the holiday rush that this happened. Since my mouse was not harmed, Logitech's packaging engineers did and great job, I am fine with the damage. Besides its just a box.
Perfect Mouse! December 2, 2008
Moiz Malik (New York)
Just a couple quick messages before the review.
1. Don't get this mouse if you use your left hand for the mouse.
2. It works perfectly on my Mac
I am a professional designer, and a mouse is basically an integral aspect of my job. The precision of this mouse is just mind-blowing. Every single feature on this mouse is done perfectly. I really can't say enough about it, if you want the best possible mouse, GET THIS MOUSE
Best Mouse Ever November 29, 2008
J. A. Miller (Los Angeles, CA)
Fast, accurate, comfortable, intuitive, easy to operate, and maintains a charge for a long time. Best mouse I've ever owned. Highly recommend.
 OH THE POTENTIAL!! November 28, 2008

If you have a wireless network in your home of office (who doesn't?) then this mouse is a waste of money and time. It will freeze up on you over and over again whenever someone is using wireless. Nothing you can do about it, other than shut down your wireless network.
On top of that the reliability of the mouse is not up to stuff. I have used it less than a year, and it registers single clicks as doubles. This drives me crazy.
Want to recharge your mouse? It takes 40 tries to get the charging dock to connect correctly with the mouse.
These things make this mouse near unusable.
But ergonomics and feel of the mouse is great. If Logitech fixes these issues this would be a top notch mouse. But with the severe flaws it has I cannot recommend it to anyone.
