Product Description
Product Description
and large hands Ergonomics and Design The first thing you'll notice about the MX Revolution is the distinct shape, which is very reminiscent of a cresting wave. Fortunately, the design does more than look good. The mouse feels great in small and large hands, and the curved channel--which accommodates the thumb nicely--makes it easy to use the document "Quick Flip" dial on the side of the mouse. Above the Quick Flip control you'll find a pair of thin, customizable buttons that by default operate as forward and back controls for Web pages.

As far as I can tell the only difference between the two MX Revolution mice is that the mouse that comes in the MX5500 mouse+keyboard set uses the Bluetooth radio frequency standard and the MX Revolution mouse that is being sold separately here uses radio frequency for wireless communication but doesn't use the Bluetooth standard. As a result of using Bluetooth the MX Revolution mouse in the MX5500 mouse+keyboard set has the standard 1/2 to 1 second Bluetooth lag when initially connecting up to the wireless transceiver (USB dongle that plugs into USB port on computer). The MX Revolution mouse sold here doesn't have that problem because it seems to connect up to its USB dongle during computer boot-up and then again when Windows Vista loads (based on the battery status indicator lighting up twice during computer boot-up and when Vista loads, respectively, even though I haven't moved or clicked any buttons on the mouse), which means there is no initial connection lag (which seems minor, but I power up and down my computer quite often, so I'm a huge fan of getting rid of initial connection lags for wireless mice and keyboards). The MX5500 mouse+keyboard set is about $100 less than the mouse being sold here (with no obligation to actually use the keyboard), so I guess it comes down to how you feel about Bluetooth and a 1/2 to 1 second initial connection lag.
MX Revolution (non-Bluetooth) vs. MX Performance:
Scroll Wheel:
The MX Revolution mouse includes a context-specific and dynamically changing traditional/free-spin scroll wheel, where the free-spin engages/disengages based on the active program or web page and also engages when the user spins the wheel rapidly (the SetPoint software offers quite a bit of customization for the traditional/free-spin settings). The MX Revolution further includes a second scroll wheel on the thumb side of the mouse that can be clicked in order to display all open windows in a 3D angled perspective (see a more detailed explanation of this below), where a user can scroll through the open windows using either scroll wheel. The thumb side scroll wheel also works during regular operation (i.e., when not displaying a 3D angled perspective of the set of open windows) for incremental scrolling through programs and web pages and traditional scrolling, which can be initiated by the user holding the scroll wheel in the forward or backward position (the side scroll wheel doesn't actually spin, it just rocks forward and backward and goes back to a centered position when no force is applied by a user).
On the other hand, the MX Performance mouse only includes one scroll wheel and it doesn't have dynamically changing traditional or free-spin functionality, but the user can manually switch the scroll wheel from traditional scroll wheel functionality to free-spin with a push of a button (the button is located directly next to the scroll wheel), which is nice because I like to leave it on free-spin most of the time and only switch to traditional scroll wheel behavior when I need a bit more precision with my scrolling.
Toggle/Jump among open windows:
The MX Revolution includes a side scroll wheel that lets you flip among open windows when you click the scroll wheel and then rock it forward or backward (same behavior as "Ctrl"+"Windows key"+"tab" or the "Switch between windows" button on the taskbar in Windows Vista ("Ctrl"+"Alt"+"tab" is the original Windows version of toggling among windows...but I digress)).
The MX Performance includes a lower thumb button with similar functionality, but it presents all open windows simultaneously in a tiled format, where a tiled window enlarges slightly upon mouse-over and can be selected by clicking on it. Not quite as visually elegant as the 3D angled perspective view of all open windows, but possibly faster to find a desired window, especially with a large number of open windows (and you can still display the 3D angled perspective of all open windows using the built-in functionality in Windows Vista and then scroll through the windows using the scroll wheel).
Size and Shape:
The MX Revolution is a bit smaller than the MX Performance, but my hand rests easily on both, neither feel too small or too large, and neither cause discomfort or fatigue issues with extended use. Both mice are molded nicely to comfortably rest your hand on, but if you're a lefty who doesn't use your right hand to operate a mouse then you're out of luck, because both are only designed for right handed operation. Both mice also include low resistance pads on the bottom for low resistance gliding across desks, mouse pads, etc.
Wireless communication:
The MX Revolution uses radio frequency communication (Logitech didn't give it a name as far as I can tell) and doesn't have any lag when initially using the mouse after computer boot-up.
The MX Performance uses Logitech's Unifying receiver for radio frequency communication, which also doesn't have any lag but the MX Performance mouse goes into a deep sleep after a prolonged period of inactivity, and it takes about one second to wake the mouse up from the deep sleep (the battery indicator lights light up when the mouse wakes back up, and the mouse cursor instantly moves when the indicator lights light up, which leads me to believe that the communication doesn't have any lag, but the MX Performance coming out of deep sleep has about a second of lag). As far as I can tell the MX Performance goes into a 'light sleep' after three to five minutes (or possibly less) of inactivity, and doesn't have any lag when coming out of this 'light sleep'. The MX Performance only goes into a deep sleep after a much longer period of inactivity, I'm not sure how long it takes to drop into deep sleep mode, but I'm guessing it's in the range of one to 10 hours, because I've only dealt with it when I turn on the computer in the morning.
The deep sleep functionality is a double-edged sword because it enables the MX Performance to aggressively conserve battery power, which means it lasts longer between charges than the MX Revolution, which doesn't have deep sleep functionality as far as I can tell. The other edge of the sword is the fact that from time to time you'll have to deal with a one second lag when waking up the MX Performance, which isn't an issue with the MX Revolution.
Dongles:
The MX Revolution USB transceiver dongle sticks about 1.5 inches out of the computer, which may be a concern if the dongle is in front of the computer or otherwise in an area where it can get bumped or kicked and bent or broken as a result.
The MX Performance USB Unifying receiver dongle sticks about 0.25 inches out of the computer, which dramatically reduces (and possibly eliminates) the chance of the dongle getting damaged as a result of getting bumped or kicked. Another advantage of the Unifying receiver is that you can use a single receiver to connect up to six compatible devices, which is nice if you have a wireless keyboard that is also designed to work with a Unifying receiver.
For completeness, the USB Bluetooth MX Revolution dongle that comes with the MX5500 mouse+keyboard set sticks about 1.75 inches out of the computer. Since it uses Bluetooth protocol you can connect multiple Bluetooth devices to the computer via the single Bluetooth dongle (for a while I had two Bluetooth mice and keyboard sets connected to the computer via the same Bluetooth dongle, but there's really no point in having two keyboards and two mice, I just wanted to see if it would work).
Tracking Technology:
The MX Revolution includes laser tracking technology for accurate tracking on almost all surfaces.
The MX Performance mouse includes Darkfield laser tracking, which enables accurate tracking on even more surfaces than standard laser tracking, such as accurate tracking on glass.
Charging:
The MX Revolution includes a charging stand that you can drop the MX Revolution into, which is very convenient, even though you can't use the mouse while it's charging.
The MX Performance includes a USB charging cable (similar to charging cables for cell phones) that you can plug into the front of the mouse, but it doesn't include a charging stand. The USB charging cable enables the mouse to be used when it's charging, but plugging the cable into the front of the mouse just isn't as quick and easy as dropping it into a charging stand.
My overall impression is you can't really go wrong with any of the mice I mentioned. I have a strange pet peeve about initial connection lag, so I may end up sticking with the non-Bluetooth MX Revolution mouse unless I can figure out how to (if possible) disable the deep sleep functionality in the MX Performance mouse (now that the Logitech Unifying receiver wireless mice and keyboards don't have initial connection communication lag issues, hooray!), and I'll definitely be keeping both mice around just in case something happens to the MX Revolution (I can't afford a new MX Revolution at these prices!)
At first, I was slightly overwhelmed. But after taking the time to get used to it, I can't see myself ever using another mouse. I work a lot in design and multiple types of software, and the customizing capabilities of this mouse are insane!
We'll just say that like everyone else has noted, the installation is a piece o cake. The mouse itself is intended for rightys, so those of you that usually switch around or use the left hand for the mouse aren't going to have much luck. That being said, the design is amazingly comfortable for what I needed. I remember it feeling VERY weird at first, but now when I go hold my other mouse just for kicks, it actually is almost painful. Not really, but it's not AS comfortable.
Besides the fact that there are MANY different customizable combinations of buttons and scrolling - there's one thing I have to say that I am VERY pleased with. I am a Firefox user and when I first got the mouse, I was somewhat disappointed to find out that there was no "Middle-Click" function, as it would just click between click-wheel and smooth-scroll. I then noticed in some reviews that others were somewhat upset about this as well. (but it was just a minor inconvenience, that's all). Now, with the latest software updates from Logitech - we finally have Middle-Click!!! Yes!!! I am SO excited about that and it's basically what makes this mouse the absolute perfect tool for anyone who's a user of Firefox as well as some computer games and design software.
I do think the zoom/flip document button that's at your thumb is a bit useless... but that's just because I don't ever use it. It may be useful for others, but I don't think I've used it once since I got it.
The fact that it's a laser mouse and cordless is just SUCH a relief for me. I love the fact that I can even use something like my couch as a mouse pad and it moves with ease. (although, I wouldn't recommend that as it might catch some lint). :)
It's rechargeable with a dock charger and a power on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse. This is so much better than using batteries. It's kinda neat that I can save power by turning it off on the mouse when I'm watching movies or not using it for a bit of time.
If there was anything negative I would have to say about this mouse, it's in regards to the "rubber" padding that is on the outside portion of the mouse where your ring finger and pinky would touch. After about 2 months of regular use, I noticed a little bubble-like spot on the side. I took a light scratch to it and it ripped off a layer of the rubberized skin that is on there for the "grip". I kinda freaked out at first because I didn't know it was a "skin". I haven't touched it since and it's basically the same and hasn't really bothered me. In my opinion, it is somewhat cheap that the "skin" comes off so easily. It might just be oils from my hand that did it (sweat?), but still - these mice should be able to withstand some rigorous everyday use for long periods of time - especially ones like this that is so multi-functional. A little bit of a downer, but it doesn't detract from the functionality and comfort.
Overall, this mouse is pretty awesome. I did also try the VX Revolution (for notebooks) and I have to say - for anyone interested, that mouse is pretty sweet as well, but it is just too small for me. For anyone who has big hands, the VX would be too small. This MX Revolution is perfect for my hands and I'm very pleased with the functionality and comfort as I work.
A+ job by Logitech.
