Weird but mostly wonderful. The non-replaceable battery really worries me though
This is a very strange beast when you remove it from the box - I got it as a 'wireless mouse upgrade' on my work PC and didn't know it would be an MX Revolution.

This is a very strange beast when you remove it from the box - I got it as a 'wireless mouse upgrade' on my work PC and didn't know it would be an MX Revolution. Initial impressions were it should be in a display cabinet not on a computer. But put your right hand over it and it feels very comfortable (most left handers probably have no chance). The rubberised microgear metal scroll wheel is great - it actually weighs a perfectly balanced 14g I believe, so that one flick and it spins effortlessly, scrolling down large pages in a trice - it's so easy to control, plus it rocks side to side giving two more switches. It's possible that on a very slow computer the 'freewheel' mode Microgear wheel might run away with itself, if used too quickly, and overshoot while the PC tries to keep up. There's a hint of this with my new Intel quad core PC, although in this freewheel mode the wheel will go as fast back up, as down.
The Revolution's standard left/right mouse buttons have just the right resistance and the far left twin thumb buttons are very useful as previous and next page. Most buttons have a few program options and the main wheel doubles as the 'third' main mouse button when pushed down - although it's noticeably less refined when used like this and may accidently go to it's side rocker switch as well [e.g. when manually changing Microgear modes from freewheel to ratchet you could simultaneously jump pages as well, which isn't that endearing]. Otherwise mouse build quality, response and accuracy is excellent - fine for shooter games, and the 20 feet range from the USB dongle is good (its wireless not bluetooth and it sits near my wireless router with no problems). I am a keen gamer, and with my fast Quad core + NVidia 8800 (XP not Vista) gaming machine I get no mouse problems at all with games like Supreme Commander, Doom3 and Quake 4 - in fact it was the USB lead snagging that lead me to dump my MS Intellimouse. It's likely that a wired gaming mouse would be a better choice than the Revolution MX if you only ever play games though, as a 'freewheel' mode Microgear wheel isn't that useful when gaming, except perhaps as the zoom in Supreme Commander [it tends to whizz too fast on weapon selection etc...]. I can live with this, as the non-vibrating Microgear [freewheel mode] mousewheel has eliminated RSI at the base of my index finger [I live on PCs at work and home] - in fact I'd never buy a mouse without it for that reason alone. Plus my Revolution MX mouse has now relocated as a 'work' mouse, so it's never used for gaming anyway [I use a similarly Microgear enabled Logitech MX 620 for home gaming instead, with a physically switched ratchet/freewheel mode Microgear wheel].
The Logitech wireless link refreshes 2x faster than other makes and is supposedly as fast as USB wired. Plus the recharge LEDs look cool [Note: the mouse charging cradle requires a 13A socket]. The only ergonomic thing I don't care for is the switch wheel just by the thumb, it slides through and selects other minimised windows, but using it often pushes the mouse a jot and you can click on the wrong window - this click-wheel also gets in the way of resting your thumb in the comfortable groove. Plus the USB dongle is solid and sticks 1.5 inches out of the port, easy to smash off and others have said Logitech won't sell you a new one if you break it (it's a whole new mouse set only I believe). Fortunately my little USB transmitter slips into a USB port tucked up behind my monitor and so its well out of the way - but a little blob on a USB lead would be better for many others (you could use a cheap USB extension lead).
With my very cheap Logitech 650 mouse I get tingling in my fingers using its wheel, but this vanishes using the Revolutions great microgear scroll wheel - and you can whizz about documents & web pages with ease (the wheel does automatically go to a standard precise, but finger vibrating, `rachet-click' on some occasions, e.g in Word). The MicroGear freewheeel/ratchet mode can be manually swapped between using a wheel-click as well, if programmed to do so via SetPoint. Plus this MX mouse glides over my rough polished wood desk whereas the cheap 650 seems to stick fast in comparison. So this mouse is overall a massive hit with me so far, and I can recommend it.
The only downside, and I think it's a biggy, is that the li-ion battery isn't user replaceable and I can't even find a way on-line to get Logitech to replace the battery when it fails (it's supposed to last 3 years). The mouse looks great on it's very classy recharger cradle though. But I really wish this MX Revolution mouse had user replaceable AA batteries (that's all that's inside it anyway), even if they were rechargeable - otherwise at some point it is going to be a real pain, and some report recharge cycles falling from the initial 7 days to daily within months of use). That said I only recharge the mouse when the cute LEDs say critical battery level, and the internal batteries are holding up as good as new 7 months on [lasting over a week between charges].
I really want this mouse at home, but the non-replaceable internal battery problem has put me off - so I bought the cheaper but microgear enabled Logitech MX 620 Wireless Laser Mouse from Amazon instead, simply as it runs on standard replaceable AA batteries - and they last a year anyway. Plus it gets rid of the thumb switch wheel I don't care for, loses the mains recharge cradle, and has a five year warranty to this MX's three year one (that battery again perhaps?). The 'freewheel' Microgear mode is selected by a physical switch on the MX 620, rather than being 'automatic' with this MX Revolution, which I prefer as I only ever want 'freewheel' mode - although my son [12] always switches it the other way [it gives him the choice I suppose]. However the Logitech MX 620 mouse is nowhere near as classy in look or feel as this MX Revolution, although granted it is over £20 cheaper.

Where do I start? If anyone has had a logitech mouse you'll know it's all about comfort. This mouse is a perfect upgrade its really, really comfortable. I just opened it and it had fully charged within 2 hours. It connected straight away I didn't need to do anything apart from switch the mouse on.
As for some previous comments... The on off button does not seem to catch my desk. The scrollers are not in the way at all. The software is very easy to use you can change what every button does. The scroller on the top of the mouse is soo clever. you can set it so in some programs it acts in the normal way and feels rough in a way (normal) and in others it scrolls like a roller (smooth and fast).
The bit on the bottom of the mouse (that sticks out) provides superb support for your thumb. The ergonomics of this mouse are superb but I cannot see a left handed person using this mouse. For anyone worried about the laser I cannot see anything when I lift the mouse up. Also, the battery lights on the front (to indicate battry life yet) are very clear and very useful, the lights go out when the mouse is not in action (possibly to save battery power).
I've been using this mouse a lot for graphic design this morning from 10:30 and up till now the battery life is still showing 3 of 3 bars.
ONCE AGAIN THIS MOUSE IS SO COMFORTABLE ITS UNREAL AND IT LOOKS...WELL YOU'VE SEEN THE PICTURES.
Blimin Excellent buy I wouldn't care if it was £80+ lovely mouse, congratulations Logitech.

A very simple solution: turn it off when you're not using it. If you stick this mouse in the charger every time it's not in use, it will obviously wear the battery down - so don't. Just switch it off using the switch underneath and leave it on your mousemat. I do this every time my mouse is not in use, and as a result it has a great battery life and on average I only need to charge it once a fortnight - and this is coming from someone who uses his computer *a lot*.
If you have battery problems, make sure you only put the mouse in the dock when the battery is *very low*. The same rule applies to phones, iPods and anything else with a rechargable battery. If you are hesitant about buying this mouse because of the negative battery reviews, then please take my comment into consideration before dismissing it, as this really is the best mouse I've ever owned.
On to the other details...
This was the first wireless mouse I ever used, and I am certainly impressed.
The scroll is fantastic and saves a LOT of effort when scrolling through long documents, which I do regularly. The 'search' button is never touched accidentally, so don't worry about it getting in the way. I'm a Firefox user, and have noticed that it will only launch Google in Firefox if Firefox is already running, otherwise it defaults to IE - although I'm sure it's a simple enough software fix. I had to use the software to configure the middle button to use for tabbed browsing as well as scrolling, and although it was initially a little 'heavier' than a normal middle button, I'm now perfectly used to it and have no troubles.
The back and forward button are without doubt the most useful feature - I've even configured these buttons to become volume controls when Windows Media Player is open, so I can lie on my bed and to watch films and still have a volume remote.
While I don't have much experience on wireless ranges, I can confirm that when I lie 2 metres away on my bed I can still use the mouse, which is fantastic for lazy people. :) Although if I move further than the bed (about 4 metres) I do lose the signal.
My one grievance is that the plastic on the side of the mouse has started to peel, which - while it doesn't affect the usability - makes it look less snazzy if viewed from the side. (But I can't honestly think of a time when I *need* to look at my mouse from the side, so it really doesn't bother me.)
Overall, highly recommended for anyone who needs to browse a lot of documents and webpages, search a lot and generally have a lot of windows open at once. I've had no trouble playing games with this mouse, but would say it's more specified to the worker/writer/reader than the gamer.

After having used a Mac Mighty Mouse for quite a few years, I decided I should look for something a bit more comfortable, bearing in mind how long I sit at my Mac, and also find something that maybe saved some clicking and moving work....well, the MX revolution is it.
Set up perfectly first time with my Mac using the Logitech Control Centre software (make sure you get the latest version from the Logitech site, as the CD with the mouse will be an older version probably).
The mouse is very comfortable to use, for me anyway, and the thumb rest on the right hand side is a nice change from most mice....but be aware this mouse will only suit right handers....sorry lefties, you are going to have to miss out.
Configuration....WOW, thats where this mouse comes into its own, with at least 12 different clicks, rolls or presses you can make this do what you want. I have the usual click and double click, plus a button to close any open app, really handy on a mac as you dont have the red close icon in the top right as windows users do, so this saves me selecting file and quit from menus every time. Also set up for volume up and volume down, show desktop and expose (a mac feature that shows all the open windows shrunk down at once so you can easily select the one you want. With highly customisable scrolling up and down, left and right its a breeze to navigate any large documents or pages.
Only improvement I can think of would to offer it as bluetooth, so you dont need to use up a USB port with its dongle...this is a desktop mouse, not for a notebook, and most desktop PC's and all Macs today have bluetooth.
So, 9.9 out of 10 Logitech, this is the Rolls Royce of mice, and is going to save me a lot of chasing around the screen with usual clicks. The Amazon price is really good too. Now, I just have to remember what all those buttons I have set up do........!

I use OS X Leopard and this mouse works wonderfully. The software installs a preference pane which allows you to setup the actions for the various buttons and it works fine.
Just to be clear, the mouse wheel has two modes of operation, and you change between them by clicking the mouse wheel. Mode 1 clicks, mode 2 is a continuous flywheel.
The thumb 'wheel' isn't actually a wheel, it is just a push/pull type of affair. Quite handy.

I ordered this mouse because everyone says the wireless technology has passed its own previous problems and nowadays a wireless mouse can be as good as a wired one.
Not true.
I am playing a lot, I don't consider myself a hardcore one, but when I join a server to shoot, I expect that at least the mouse should follow the movements.
Unfortunately this mouse does not give the best performance and pretty often caused me a tempered mood. There are frequent freezes, lags of the mouse. Google it, on MX revoution mouse a lot of people expereinced the same. Logitech cannot provide a real explanation or fix for this. Of course I tried to change my wireless router channells, plug the mouse-receiver into to another USB, etc... all in vain.
It starts in the beginning with rare lags, but with time it become so frequent that, after I spent a lot of money on this mouse, I still have to order now a G9.
And some positives: the mouse is very comfortable, well designed and fits in the hand. Looks really nice.
If you want to browse the internet then have this mouse. It is good for that. But if you even sometimes just want to play an FPS game, dont buy this. Sorry.
P.S: my mouse was not ordered from amazon.

Very likely the best mouse around unless you have a smaller hand (in which case have a look at the arguably even more attractively styled VX version). I decided to use the very comprehensive software settings to allow the click wheel to turn freely at all times. I don't feel there's any real need for the side thumb wheel to toggle through the admittedly sexy looking 3D view (in Vista) of open apps, as it's actually quicker to just click tabs in the conventional fashion. Only slight downside to this mouse is that the click wheel can rattle from side to side a bit, possibly as a consequence of its flywheel mechanism.

The mouse is comfortable and the extra buttons provide easily set up short cuts. It works fine with my Mac. However, the build quality is not great - the sideways push buttons on the wheel gave up within a month and the base gets roughened in no time, meaning it tends to stick. Gone back for replacement.

I have owned a Logitech MX1000 laser mouse for approximately 4 years and it has always served me well, I will add that it was still going after 4 years of heavy use, but I fancied a change and decided on the Logitech MX Revolution, I paid £49.99 for it from Amazon.co.uk.
Firstly, for all the people that say you cannot use the scroll wheel as a third mouse button by pushing it down, well you are wrong, I am using this very feature. I would suggest that you download the latest version of the software from Logitech's web site rather than using the software that is included with the mouse as this will be out of date. To get the use of the third mouse button by pushing the scroll wheel down, I did the following,
1: Download and install the latest software for the mouse from Logitech's web site.
2: Once installed, go into the Logitech setpoint software, in the number 2 colum called "SELECT BUTTON" click once on third option (3), next you will see under the number 3 column an option called "SELECT FUNCTION" click on this once with the left mouse button, next thing you will see is a little window that will open, on this little window you need to click the down arrow once with the left mouse button, from the list choose MIDDLE BUTTON, next click on ok, then on the main SETPOINT window you need to click on APPLY then on OK, this will now close the SETPOINT SOFTWARE WINDOW. You now have the use of the third mouse button (MIDDLE BUTTON) by pressing down the scroll wheel. This is ideal for opening a new tab in Firefox for example. You also have to make sure that you also have the following options selected in the setpoint software. Click on the scroll wheel symbol that you will see down the left handside of the setpoint software window, under the section called "LOGITECH SMARTSHIFT TECHNOLOGY" you need to have this enabled, starting mode CLICK TO CLICK, tick the box for AUTO SHIFT TO FREE SPIN WHEN WHEEL SPEED IS, I select the speed at around a quarter, DO NOT SELECT THE "DISABLED (OVERRIDES APPLICATION SETTINGS). All these instructions are needed if you want the use of the middle (THIRD MOUSE BUTTON) otherwise you can just leave these settings on their defaults. You can also download an additional piece of software called UBER OPTIONS, this program allows you to add other additional features to various buttons on the mouse, I will add though that the UBER OPTIONS software is not an official Logitech piece of software.
I will now describe all the buttons on the mouse and what they do.
Firstly, we have the usual left and right mouse buttons, these perform in the exact same way as any other left right buttons on any other mouse. In between the left/right mouse buttons is the scroll wheel, this is somewhat different to a normal scroll wheel, small slow turns of this scroll wheel make it perform in the normal way to which we are all used to, i.e. scroll in small amounts upwards/downwards through whatever you are viewing on screen, but the other mode this wheel has is the "FREE SPIN MODE" to get the scroll wheel into this mode you simply give the scroll wheel a strong flick, in this mode the scroll wheel disengages its normal click to click (ratchet) operation that we are all familiar with and goes into a frictionless spin mode where the scroll wheel will spin for several seconds, this mode is VERY USEFUL for when you have a large Excel document or other similar item on screen that is very long and several pages long. For example, I have a Excel document which has over 2600 entries, with a strong flick of the scroll wheel, the scroll wheel goes into free spin mode and I can scroll from the top to the bottom of the document in just over 2 seconds. So you can see from this just how fast the scroll wheel performs when its in its free spin mode. The scroll wheel feels very well made as it is made of metal and it also has a rubber grip on it that goes round the whole of the scroll wheel.
The scroll wheel also has other functions, if set up by the method I have described towards the beginning of the review, where by pressing it down makes it perform as a 3rd mouse button (MIDDLE BUTTON). For example, if you use Mozilla Firefox, you can press this button down and it will open another web page up in another tab, this is a very handy function in my opinion. The last function the scroll wheel has is the horizontal scroll, this basically means that if the web page, document or whatever you are viewing on screen is too wide to be shown on screen, you simply then press the scroll wheel to the left or right and you then have your document or whatever you are viewing on screen move in that direction, I find this a very useful feature.
The next feature is a little silver button called "ONE TOUCH SEARCH". What this does is, if you highlight a word for example on a web page, and then press this button, it will bring up your search engine and show you the results for the word you have highlighted, at this present time in the UK, there is 4 search engines you can choose from within the Logitech setpoint software, which are: Google, Yahoo, AOL search, Live.com search, I find that this is yet another useful feature that Logitech have added to this mouse. We now move to the left handside of the mouse. On the left of the mouse is a large protruding thumb rest which feels just perfect and is perfectly placed, the thumb rest is covered in a rubber finish. Also in this area is a back & forward button, in their default state, these allow you to go back & forward in your web browser, which I also find very useful, it basically saves you having to move your mouse's arrow to the FORWARD & BACK buttons on you internet browser. The back & forward buttons on the MX Revolution can be re assigned other functions from within the Setpoint software, for example, you can have these buttons to perform CRUISE UP, CRUISE DOWN, PREVIOUS, NEXT, or you can assign a keystroke to these buttons. Below the back & forward buttons is the THUMB WHEEL, if you have Windows Vista, pressing the thumb wheel forwards or backwards brings up the 3D Flip feature, where you basically have what can be described as a page of a book representation of your open programs, anyone with Windows Vista will be familiar with the 3D Flip feature. Has I have not got access to an XP based PC, I cannot comment on what the THUMB WHEEL does, but if I am not mistaken, it brings up a document view window showing what programs etc you have open, again I find the THUMB WHEEL to be a very useful feature. The only criticism I have of the THUMB WHEEL is that with me having small hands, I find it just to be that little bit too far forward for me to reach comfortable, but this is just me been fussy, as I find the mouse on the whole to be Ergonomically perfect. The last thing you will see on the top of the mouse is a battery level indicator, this shows 3 segments which are green, these gradually go down as the battery becomes exhausted until the battery symbol at the bottom changes to red, regarding the battery level, you can choose to view the battery level as percent (100 percent would mean the battery would be full) or you can view it to show how many days are remaining until the battery would need to be charged/became exhausted, when fully charged the battery level in the setpoint software shows 14-15 days, however I found that to be a little bit optimistic; I managed to get 11 days out of my mouse before the critical battery level indicator showed up on the taskbar I dare say I could have got an extra day but I thought it would be best to pop it in its charger, I will add that I used my mouse for approximately 4 hours per day, so as you can see it certainly is not going to need charged everyday. The mouse takes a little under 2 hours to charge up.
The mouse is finished in a dark grey and black finish, which looks very stylish and will certainly not disgrace any desktop, I have read of some people commenting that the mouse is heavy, but personally I don't find it is that heavy, you have simply got to remember that with the mouse been cordless that it is inevitable that the mouse will be heavier than its corded brother, due to the fact that the cordless one will have the batteries in it. If you flip the mouse over, there is an on/off switch, this is a handy feature if you want to take the mouse for example to the office, because if the mouse were placed in a bag and it didn't have an on/off switch, the mouse would move around and waste unneeded battery life. Also underneath are 4 large silicon pads which do an excellent job at keeping the mouse smooth running over your desktop. Last but not least is the little hole that the laser light shines out of, as this mouse uses laser light for its tracking movements. Has I have mentioned, I had owned a previous Logitech mouse before purchasing the MX Revolution and this too used a laser for its tracking, I have had no problems with the laser light tracking in the 4 years or so of me owning it, the laser light tracking is a well proven and reliable tracking method in my opinion.
Other things that come with the mouse are:
Charging stand, this basically can be plugged into any electric point at the time when the mouse needs to be re charged, this is a neat and compact charging stand and it doesn't take up any space at all, for example if you wanted to place it on your desktop.
You get a CD which contains the Logitech Setpoint software, but my advice is to go on to Logitech's website and download the latest version, because you will probably find that the enclosed software is far out of date to the latest version on the web site, also the latest version can have addition features that the older versions of the software might not have on. I will add that there is no need to install the Logitech Setpoint software if you do not want to (the mouse basically works straight out of the box) but in order to use the extra features of the mouse (Thumb Wheel, Free Spin etc) you will need to install the Setpoint software. I have the Setpoint software installed on my Vista Ultimate PC and it works perfectly!
You also get a little dongle, that looks very similar in appearance to a USB Memory stick, this little dongle is about half the size of a stick of Wrigleys chewing gum, the dongle basically provides the wireless connection between the mouse and the PC, this can be plugged into any USB socket but I would suggest that you have it plugged into a USB 2.0 port, although it may work on USB 1, but I am unable to try this as my PC only has USB 2.0 ports on it. I have my dongle plugged into the USB socket that my Dell monitor has on it, an idea if you have a similar type of monitor perhaps. My previous Logitech mouse had a charger come receiver, which I used to find a bit on the large side, I must admit that the separate charger and dongle are a lot better alternative.
I will now describe some of the functions that the Setpoint software has on it.
When you open the Setpoint software up, down the left handside you will see 6 little tabs, the top tab has a mouse symbol on it, if you click on this, you will now be able to change what function the mouse buttons do, for example you can choose what function you the scroll wheel has when it is pressed down, you can also change what function the ONE TOUCH SEARCH button has, you can also change what search engine you want to use when you press the ONE TOUCH SEARCH button.
The next tab down has a mouse arrow on it. If you click on this, this will then allow you to change how fast or how slow the mouse pointer moves, you can also choose pointer acceleration, this basically chooses how fast the mouse pointer moves when you begin to move the mouse, you can choose between NONE, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH.
The next tab down looks like a Rook on a chess board. This allows you to switch on GAME DETECTION, this mode allows you to have the mouse perform differently than it ordinarily does, but I cannot comment on this as I do not have any games to try it on. In here you can also choose whether you would like to use Window's own mouse settings, these can be accessed from within the Control Panel in Windows or for you to carry on using the Setpoint software to provide the mouse settings.
Next tab down looks like a magnifying glass. If you click on this, this allows you to change the ZOOM settings, this only applies when you are using a program that allows you to zoom, for example, picture editing software when you are wanting to zoom in on a particular part of the picture, the ZOOM settings allow you to change how fast or how slow the zoom will be performed when you rotate the scroll wheel. I have just left the ZOOM settings on their default settings as they perform how I like them.
Next tab down looks like the SCROLL WHEEL. This allows to change the various functions of the scroll wheel. For example, how fast or slow it will scroll when you are vertically or horizontally scrolling, you can change the LOGITECH SMARTSHIFT TECHNOLOGY, this basically is the way the mouse performs when the scroll wheel is turned, in this mode the mouse determines what function the scroll wheel will operate in, i.e. FREE SPIN or CLICK TO CLICK depending on what program you are using, I find that the mouse chooses most of the time the best function for the scroll wheel, but you can override this and tell the mouse/software to perform a different mode depending on what program you are using, this can easily be altered by going into the SELECT PROGRAM column and choosing the program you would like to change from the drop down list. There is an option called AUTO SHIFT TO FREE SPIN WHEN WHEEL SPEED IS, this determines what speed the scroll wheel has to be turned in order for the CLICK TO CLICK option to disengage and to then engage the FREE SPIN OPTION, I cannot tell you enough how useful the FREE SPIN option is, it is an excellent feature that has been added to the humble scroll wheel. You can if you so wish, disable the LOGITECH SMARTSHIFT TECHNOLOGY, which basically means that you are choosing to use either the mouse in its usual CLICK TO CLICK mode or you can choose to have the mouse to always operate in the FREE SPIN MODE.
Next tab down has a battery symbol on it. If you click on this, this allows you to view your remaining battery life in either percentage or by remain life in days. There is also a symbol on the taskbar for the setpoint software which if you hover the mouse arrow over shows whether the mouse's battery is FULL, GOOD, LOW etc.
The last option from within the Setpoint software is a tab at the top right of the program window called TOOLS, if you click on this, this will show you what version your software is, and also, there are two other tabs down the right handside, the first one has a circle with the letter i in it, this shows what version of software, what the driver version is, the next tab is the INDICATOR SYMBOLS, this will allow you to have or not to have a icon displayed in the taskbar for the setpoint software. Last but not least is the WEB UPDATES, clicking on this will make the Setpoint software check to see if there is any newer updates available.
I have heard of some people criticizing the Setpoint software, but personally I find it to be a really useful piece of software, I have used the Setpoint software (albeit different versions) for 4 years on various operating systems and I have never experience any problems whatsoever. I think the criticisms are based on people not reading what the various features do or forgetting to click on the APPLY button and the the OK button when they have performed the changes.
I have used Logitech products for at least 4 years and I always find that they are very well thought out/laid out products, well made, and the MX Revolution certainly ticks all these boxes, I find this to be the best mouse I have ever used and I defy anyone to not be impressed with the MX Revolution, the mouse is feature packed but this does not spoil the basic function of the mouse, i.e. moving the arrow around the screen and selecting things. The MX Revolution feels very precise and there is NO LAG WHATSOEVER with it, YOU WILL NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WIRED MOUSE AND A CORDLESS ONE NOW, the technology has come on a long way.
If you are in the market for a new mouse then I whole heartedly recommend the Logitech MX Revolution, you will certainly not be disappointed.
