Great for carpal-tunnel sufferers, incredibly programmable
by rfwinans on September 9, 2006
Pros: Versatility, programmable per application, well-designed
Cons: Minor: Have to remember to recharge when not in use

Summary: As a graphic designer, constant movement and clicking leaves me with an acheing hand. This device is so far beyond anything I've used in that it provides a wide array of buttons all of which can be designated for specific actions within specific applications. Much less movement required, much more control. Especially helpful scrolling long documents, whether text or graphic.

Best, Mouse, Ever, Period.
by Steve Du on September 2, 2006
Pros: Slick, comfortable, extended control, smart scroll wheel
Cons: Software holding it back

Summary: This is so far, the best mouse I've ever used. Logitech has done it again! If you like the MX 1000, you will love the new MX Revolution which is a lot more precise and responsive, might take you a little bit to get used to the wheels. The new smart wheel is truly a smart invention. Not to mention the new SmartShift and HyperFast scroll wheel technology that will make scrolling a breeze, the improved side buttons and one touch search plus the side wheel just boost the mouse to it is "Revolution" title.
Cross-platform is another huge plus for this mouse. It doesn't matter if it's PC or Mac, as long as you have the Logitech Control Center software installed right, it'll just take you to the next level. However the software design is a bit confusing and lack of full control for the hardware, hope Logitech will improve on the software.
It will take you a little while to get used to it. Although price is a bit high but consider this, it'll last you YEARS and it comes with a 3-year warranty program. If having a precise, accure, powerful and make your life easier mouse is your priority, besides input devices are one of the mose used computer equipments, then the Logitech MX Revolution, is your choice.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Highly Recommended
by pctower on August 30, 2006
Pros: East of setup. Amazing number of options. A real joy to use.
Cons: None, other than possibly the price.
Summary: I'm not a gamer - just a power business user. Moreover, this is the first non-trackball mouse (other than with laptops) I have ever used.
I will never go ...Summary: I'm not a gamer - just a power business user. Moreover, this is the first non-trackball mouse (other than with laptops) I have ever used.
I will never go back to my beloved MicroSoft Explorer 1.0.
This is a very comfortable mouse to use - and the scrolling feature is easy to get used to and a real step forward in design. I did not find any problem with it as reported by the cnet reviewer.
I have very large hands (which is why I have traditionally used a trackball), but this fits my right hand very comfortably.
I don't write many reviews, but when someone produces a product that stands out from the crowd, I feel compelled to take the time to recommend it. This product is a real stand-out.2 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Great mouse....but with usual flaws
by DeltaXMike on December 30, 2008
Pros: The mouse itself is the best you can get. Great feel, highly programmable, very responsive and works on most surfaces. Awesome ergonomics.
Cons: Well the eternal Logitech charging problem that they NEVER manage to resolve (see below). Thumb wheel needs improvements. Bloatware drivers as usual. On some machines you get a conflict when exiting ITunes.
Summary: As with almost every single mouse they have made and use some kind of docking station, the contacts on the mouse just wear out. You can get away for a ...
Summary: As with almost every single mouse they have made and use some kind of docking station, the contacts on the mouse just wear out. You can get away for a few weeks by wetting the contacts before docking it, last resort will be trying to "rise" the mouse in the dock with bits of folded paper or similar until the top part of the contacts finally wear out. At least those tips usually gives you a few extra months of life of your mouse.I currently own 4 of these got the first one the same day it was released. In total i have probably owned more than 20 different Logitech mice. While its a fantastic mouse (the best so far) on it's own you cant discard the fact that after a couple of months of heavy use you literally have to throw them in a bin. I know people in the company and have talked about this charging dock problem on numerous times over the years. This problems also apply to their range of remote controls as the use the exact same kind of material for the contacts. It's beyond my belief that they STILL have not come up with a solution for such a basic and simple problem. So if money is not an issue or you simply don't care if you have to buy a new one after tops a year then go for it. Otherwise it's hard to recommend it because of such a serious design flaw.

Very Poor now, could be great. Significant Problems.
by Ramfaq on October 8, 2006
Pros: Ergonomics, thumb wheel/ratchet, fly wheel, Docking Station & power indicator, Great looks.
Cons: At this time (10/06) the software needs work, and MOST of the buttons have Significant sensitivity issues.

Summary: This opinion is based on a product that?s likely to come from one of the first production runs so if your opinion the review many months after the releases date, things are sure to have improved. Logitech is a big company that seems to know how run a production line.
The golden egg in this flagship product is supposed to be a ratcheted scroll wheel that turns into a fly wheel when you want. When you want; well not with the current version of Setpoint / 3.1. The program erratically and frequently resets to what I assume is default settings and on multiple systems. Unless you want this on all the time this is a problem, if you want it off, get a different mouse. But in reality you wont want it on all the time, it?s too imprecise.
If you use a middle mouse button and would like to keep using the scroll wheel as you probably do now, this is not the mouse for you. The middle button/scroll wheel seems to have 2 levels of compression. The first, which seems to have something to do with the control of the ratchet system, is erratic and sometimes not present. The second requires more force than I?ve ever had to apply to a scroll wheel.
The thumb ratchet is overly sensitive in the forward direction and sometimes fails to disengage. Right and left main buttons sometimes fail to make contact, specifically they make a clicking noise but nothing happens, happens about half a dozen times in a days use.
The battery lasts 2-3 work days but charges quick.
If you like this mouse I?d wait a while and these problems will likely be ironed out by Logitech.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Version 1.0 of a great mouse
by egerter on September 7, 2006
Pros: free-scroll wheel, battery life, comfort
Cons: incomplete features, outrageous price, a loose part inside?
Summary: I needed a new mouse this weekend and got the latest & greatest. The MX-Rev has a great feature set for the non-gamer. The scroll wheel, especially in free-spin mode ...
Summary: I needed a new mouse this weekend and got the latest & greatest. The MX-Rev has a great feature set for the non-gamer. The scroll wheel, especially in free-spin mode makes surfing a lot more efficient. The battery life is impressive and the MX-Rev fits my hand well. I can hold it a variety of positions and it still functions well, important since I don't want my wrist problems aggrevated. But the extra features feel like a Beta or v1.0. Docu-Flip opens a dorky-looking window to choose the active window. I would have liked it to match at least the quality of the TaskSwitch PowerToy which shows a thumbnail of the selected window. And there's something loose inside that rattles; I think it's the scroll wheel but I'm not about to take apart this $100 gizmo; maybe one of the review sites would be kind enough to do that and figure it out.

Great mouse, little pricey
by needspeed355 on September 5, 2006
Pros: all the new features...doc flip,hyper-scroll,quick search
Cons: lack of ability to change the dpi settings on the go
Summary: This mouse is awsome. It will take time to teach yourself to actully use the features, but they come in handy...especially the document flip function.

I first got the Logitech G7, i used it for about three weeks and decided to get this mouse becuse of the sexy look. I am glad i made that decision. The only feature that i liked on the G7 and was not carried over was the on the fly ability to change the dpi settings. A feature that can come in handy espicially in cs:s. If you are looking for an excellent mouse and dont mind the hefty price tag, then the revolution is an excellent choice.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

I recommend this to everyone.
by picknslap on August 31, 2006
Pros: free spin scroll wheel, document flipper, design
Cons: It's a little to complicated to get the middle button working like a normal scroll wheel button.

Summary: As soon as I picked this mouse up I knew it was a winner. The design conforms perfectly to my hand and the rubber next to the thumb gives an extra sense of control.
You have to go through some menus in order to get the scroll wheel button to work as it should. And doing this requires you to sacrifice the ability to manually switch scrolling modes. However the auto flip feature works great and you can set it to specific programs.
When I first opened photoshop with it I was pleasantly surprised to see that the mouse automatically flipped in to free spin mode to allow for precise slider selections.
It is lightweight and the battery life is great, everyone should own this mouse. I never thought something could take me away from my G5.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Fashion won out over function
by doogieman on March 20, 2007
Pros: Looks, small desktop footprint
Cons: Ergonomics, movement of cursor, placement of buttons

Summary: I'm a long time Logitech customer. I've used the MX1000 Laser the past year and decided to upgrade to the Revolution. Big Mistake. The primary problem is the ergonomics. The cutout makes the mouse too narrow and forces you to apply pressure with your thumb. After 20 minutes of use, I had a cramp in my thumb. Cursor movement was also not fluid despite several attempts to adjust. The Wheel is no big deal. How many times do you need to fly through multiple pages? It's easier to just use the scroll bar on the side of your screen for long distance scrolling. It's going back to the store...
