Users can pair each button with an action, either for global settings or by application. I can't comment on Logitech's SetPoint software for the PC, but the Logitech Control Center for Mac users is very powerful. Moving on, Logitech has generously fitted the underside of the mouse with 4 teflon pads making it glide-happy on most surfaces.

I double-checked with Chris and we seem to believe the Mighty Mouse is actually heavier. I actually couldn't decide which was heavier - the MX Revolution or the Apple wireless Mighty Mouse with its lithium batteries. Left to Right: Pantech C300, iPod Nano, Samsung A-920, Motorola Q, Apple wireless Mighty Mouse, MX Revolution.Ĭompared to other cordless laser mice, I don't find the MX Revolution too different in terms of weight. Logitech wants you to access the Alt+Tab/Apple+Tab interface with the quick-flip but I have found it equally handy just as a scroll device. The quick-flip wheel is like a spring-loaded scroll wheel that only goes forward or backward a bit. There is a rubber-clad thumbrest area with the document quick-flip wheel and 2 additional buttons within reach. Logitech has always been known for producing well-fitting, comfortable mice and the MX Revolution is definitely no exception. Clip cut from ScobleShow with permission from Robert Scoble. Ryan Block from Engadget comments on the MX Revolution. Free spin is by far the coolest aspect of this hyper-fast scroll wheel as Logitech calls it. For example, in the Logitech software (which is available for Windows XP, Vista and as a universal binary for OS X) I have it set to use the clicky ratchet mode until I scroll fast enough, at which point the scroll wheel goes into free spin mode. Depending on how you setup the options in software, the main scroll wheel has two modes - the regular 'ratchet' mode and an uninhibited free spin mode. However, the best feature of the mouse lies in what Logitech calls SmartShift technology. The MX Revolution has a smaller, well-designed charging dock compared to the MX1000's base.
