I just bought a new Logitech mouse which is being advertised as the “World’s most advanced mouse.” Previously I had a Microsoft Wireless Optical Blue mouse.

It took a few days to get used to all the features and get the keys mapped correctly. My biggest complaint is the Logitech SetPoint software. Its very barebone minimum and very hard to map the keys to your own taste. My firefox default button mappings did not work as the Revolution does not per se have a middle click button. I had to download uberOptions a free utility to customize SetPoint in order to make it behave better. Its highly recommended. Once that ordeal was over I really enjoyed all the new features. The smart scrolling is awesome once you get used to it, the wheel can spin freely and when you flick it, it smartly accelerates the scrolling. The battery indicator should be mandatory on all mice, I hate it when your mouse suddenly stops working in the middle of something important and you have to drag out the obsolete wired mouse. The MX Revolution mouse cost around $80 and thats steep for a lot of the features that are icing, but really not necessary. If you have the cash and your willing to spend the time to tweak the buttons then this mouse lives up to its name.
