Logitech MX Revolution



          Today, I just got a new mouse, at a great price. This is probably the best mouse I've ever had. The Logitech MX Revolution is called by Logitech "The world's most advanced mouse," and with what I've seen so far, that claim is pretty much true. The first thing about the mouse that I noticed, is that it's comfortable. Really comfortable. While the price tag might be a little steep at $99, I got it on sale at Best Buy for just $39, making it better priced than a lot of inferior mice. The sensor is incredibly responsive on a variety of surfaces, so far I've tested wood, carpet, and paper, and I haven't noticed any jumpiness or twitches at all. The scroll wheel is one of the more innovative features of this mouse, as well. While most mice have either a smooth scroll wheel or a stepped scroll wheel, the MX offers both. Simply click the middle button to switch between an almost frictionless smooth movement, or a nicely weighted stepped movement. The mouse also includes a side wheel, which can be used as an Alt+Tab equivalent. It also includes two side buttons, and a search button, which, with the software included, will bring up the search engine of your choice. Here's another picture.
