 I hate mice - well, I used to - WoW! An 11 button mouse! Aug 07, 2008
I hate mice. always have, since the early 1980's when I had some clunky mouse on my PC/XT for Windows 1.0. When I had to have a device that allowed me to do what a mouse does, I by far preferred the IBM Trackpoint, a little joystick that sits right on your keyboard between the G and H keys. Or a touchpad. Or a ball. There was no payback for moving my hand off my keyboard to the mouse.
But this mouse has changed my mind. I've been playing a lot of World of Warcraft lately, and, while you can play that game without a mouse, the mouse works better. This mouse has software that allows you to send keystrokes from the mouse buttons. All of them. 11 of them:
Left(1), center(3) (click the top wheel down) and right(2).
Lean the top wheel left(4) and right(5).
Top center behind the wheel(6).
Left edge front(7) and back(8).
Thumbwheel forward(9), back(10), and in(11).
All the above and you can roll the mouse wheel forward and back. And the mouse moves and tracks accurately on any surface - no matter how uniform in color it appears to be.
But that does not mess the mouse up for normal use - see, inside WoW, I use the thumbwheel for targeting - forward targets enemy, back targets friend, and clicking it sends an escape to break the targeting. If I'm using the mouse in some other application, no problem. The definitions change based on the program I use.
So the button on the top gets me on and off my mount. The left side roller targets. The left side forward button bubbles me. The left side back button opens my backpacks or my map (if I hold alt). Leaning the top mousewheel left does a "tab" to roll around enemy targets and leaning it right does an assist (which allows me to assist a party member or heal whoever the mob is attacking). And I still have my left right and center mouse clicks as well as my mousewheel with their standard functions.
I play WoW a lot - but any other application I use that much can get their fuctions improved - like if I was editing a lot, I could use the side buttons for cut and paste, or undo and redo or next find - anything that has a keystroke binding can be done off the mouse buttons.
But there are some built in definitions - like the one that allows you to magnify or shrink web sites - or the one that many other people have talked about that allow you to flip through all the apps you have open.
So why do I love this mouse? When I play WoW, I keep my right hand on the mouse. I can do a lot from that mouse - in combat, my left hand punches a few keys on a N52, and my right hand stays on the mouse - and that is all I need. A mouse with 4 buttons would not be enough, but 8 buttons over the standard three and wheel (11 buttons plus a mousewheel counting the thumbwheel as three buttons) is enough to do everything I normally need to do.
Editing is the same why - some redefinition, and I can keep my hand on the mouse until I need to start typing text again. Browsing has always been a mouse activity, but you need to find click spots on your screen less often when you have this mouse.
RIGHT HANDED with a VENGANCE. If you can't yse your mouse right handed, don't waste your time. If you have not gotten it, you really can't use this mouse left handed, not in the way that it was meant to be used.
When Apple brought out the Mac, they made a big deal of only having one button on the mouse. Simpler, they said. Everything you need, they said.
At one point, I was almost sold by the one button hype. But as I use this mouse, I realize that they were wronger than I had ever thought before. :-) The more buttons on the mouse the better - provided that the buttons are easy to hit and tell apart by touch. Logitech may have hit the limit here - but they have not surpassed that limit. This is a great mouse.
Solidworks or CAD user? Then do yourself a favor and get this mouse! Aug 07, 2008
I work as an architectural engineer in AutoCAD and Solidworks all day. Because of the nature of my work, I do a LOT of zooming/panning. I am only 25 and I was starting to worry that I was not going to be able to keep mousing much longer without giving myself a nice pile of carpal tunnel. After trying some different mouses, including the oddball Perific, I stumbled on this mouse.
All of my problems are gone. If the scroll wheel is your archnemesis on a daily basis with what you do on a computer, buy this mouse immediately, even if it puts your bank account into the negative. Zooming and panning are now effortless and much more elegant. Modeling large scale objects (corporate skylights in my case) is now a breeze.
In short, for CAD users the freewheeling scroll wheel is an indispensable addition to your selection of input devices. This more than makes up for any shortcomings this mouse has. Also, you can completely disregard any reviews that complain about not enough programmable functionality in the included software. UberOptions is a free modification you can find easily on the web that more than makes this mouse as customizable as you want it to be. Do yourself a favor, and go get this mouse!
Great mouse! Aug 03, 2008
I have repetitive stress injuries to both my thumbs/wrists to the point where they just fused the joint on my left thumb 3 weeks ago. it's in a cast, but I am a DBA so i still need functionality. This MX mouse, with all its programmable features, is really helping me continue to perform my job. Programming the various wheels and buttons to do copy/paste/forward/back/search, etc, was fairly easy. the ergonomic shape gives my bad right hand some relief too. I highly recommend this mouse even for people with two hands!
The Perfect Mouse Aug 01, 2008
After 2 decades of using mice, this is perfection. I put them on every computer. The heavy scroll wheel and the amazing grip and controls are legendary. I've never had any issues with the wireless. Surfing the net with this is fantastic and FAST. In short, this is nirvana.
It is painful to use computers at clients that haven't been enlightened.
Great mouse with its quirks Jul 29, 2008
Pros:
1) awesome scroll wheel for lightning fast scrolling for long documents and the ability to stop on a dime when needed
2) rechargeable battery + battery gauge
3) super smooth teflon feet
4) configurable buttons and jog wheel
5) fairly accurate compared to an optical mouse
6) solid build quality of the housing
7) weight well, not too heavy, not too light
Cons:
1) inconsistent travel for the buttons, sometimes the buttons stick
2) battery life could be better
3) logitech's software was horrendous (osx and windows)
4) choppy performance when there are other devices in the 2.4ghz range nearby (wifi, bluetooth)
This is a great multipurpose wireless mouse. You are able to scroll tho documents quickly. The teflon feet allow very smooth movements even on poor surfaces. Its weight and solid construction reminds you of the premuimness of the type of device you are using. However, there are some operational issues. Logitech's software is just the worst (lag on windows, and crashes os x). Forgo that and find yourself some free button management program out there. The issue of choppy performance may be attributed to wifi and bluetooth in close proximity of the usb transmitter. After turning off my wifi, i no longer had performance issues. My last gripe is the buttons. None of the buttons have a tactile feel to it, some have different stroke and travel, while others just feel like they want to stick. The buttons appear to have come from cheaper MX mice. Overall the strengths of the MX Revolution gives me enough reason to keep it as its fairly utilitarian and stylish. Most of the weaknesses could be avoided.
