Logitech MX Revolution

I have always been very impressed with the Logitech range of products, particularly their mice.

This one is particularly impressive – the MX Revolution.

There are a number of user settable features that give it a good amount of customisation. I particularly like the sensitivity control, and the overall precision and responsiveness. You can also set which of the buttons are active, and what they control. The top wheel has 2 settings – one a ratchet controlled position (which is common on a lot of mice), and a free-spinning setting that allows you to quickly scroll through large documents. It can also be clicked left and right for horizontal scrolling.

Finally, I particularly like the grip – it is a medium sized mouse and I find the size and design adds to the overall sense of control. Update – I’m starting to find that the mouse is better for people with smaller hands. The recess for the thumb is so deep that I imagine that it could become uncomfortable for people with larger hands. On the other hand (sorry) for the same reason, it is a very comfortable larger mouse for people with smaller hands….. I haven’t concluded which hand I am on……

The unfortunate thing, and seems common for Logitech, is they only provide a bluetooth version with the set that includes a keyboard. If you want the mouse on its own, you need to use the USB receiver (which looks like a USB Key).

Overall this appears at first appearance to be another typically superior Logitech HID (human interface device).
