Logitech MX Revolution Wireless Laser Mouse

[je1ani]

Pricegrabber still lists the OP's price quote, but when I click on either link.... its $99 bucks? what gives?

I really want the MX Rev. but can only afford something in the $40 range so this was really exciting until I found the higher price.

Yeah it went back to the original price... but the shipping is awfully slow

I had an MX revolution for a week. Any time my processor was near full-load, the mouse would stop working. Awful.

 

[Dell misses me]

vx revolution is amazing

I am really glad I tried out the mighty mouse because it was not for me. So I got a VX revolution and wow seriously the best mouse I have ever owned I love it and highly recommend it. Especially for all of those former windoze users out there

 

[rdowns]

I've had a Logitech MX Laser for quite some time and it's the best mouse I've even owned. Can't wait for Dell to ship my $40 VX.

 

[joemama2413]

is this mouse really worth it for 40? i currently have a wireless MM, should I get the mx revolution?

It's available from Amazon Marketplace for $41. I ordered it from there a few days ago and am waiting for it to arrive.

Got a VX from macmall this past monday for...

$15.


Now the only problem is I don't know whether I like the VX or the MX518 better.

Anyone see this on engadget:

Does this mean you would not have to use a stupid receiver dongle? i bought a mighty mouse yesterday for the reason that the dongle was a pita, and now I am irritated by it- I would love a bt mx, if it will work without a dongle. Are there any performance disadvantages with bt over logitech's radio connection?

Purchased the MX Revolution a few days ago. How can you tell the battery life? Is it the actual battery image or the number of squares above it?

 

[jhkingsr]

There are three lights above the battery image. Three is full charge and it will drop to two, one, then none as the battery charge depletes.

Yes, it would use the internal bluetooth receiver, if you have one. Pairing would likely be the same or similar to your mighty mouse. Wait for logitech to release it for more details I suppose. I will also be keeping my eye on this.

4 actually. The battery LED (normally green) turns to red once the other 3 green LED's have went out.

 

[jhkingsr]

Good to know. I've never let mine run down that low. I usually put it in the cradle before then........

If you're wondering how the MX, or any mouse, is just buy it from Best Buy (or similar store) and try it out for a couple days. Simply return it if you don't care for it. Take care of it and keep all the packaging.

Love my MX Rev. Best feature is the scrolling. Now, when I grab my wife's mouse and try to scroll... it's like 19th century computing.

I honestly can't see why someone would want to send it back xD

I love mine too and feel the same way about every other mouse I use - particularly my school's mice! I try to force them into spinning like my MX Revolution's wheel but they just won't... stupid Microsoft brand mice xD
I take it you have it set on Free spin, too?

I'm on my second one - the first one had a faulty scroll wheel but this one is great.

Funny thing: The Logitech support guy told me (in an email I still have somewhere) to smash my mouse with a heavy object if Amazon wouldn't take it back, then send a picture to Logitech with the Serial number written next to it. I thought to myself "Wow. I think I'd rather just live with a faulty mouse than be potentially pranked by a bored support guy". Seemed kinda weird. lol.


By the way, does anyone know how long the mouse takes to charge? There really isn't much information included with the mouse and I don't want to leave it charging overnight to find that I've overcharged the battery... or is smart and stop charging when it knows it's full, rather than killing the battery by trying to cram more in it?

I've been wanting this mouse to use BlueTooth forever, thank you . Does anyone have a rough idea of how long it will take them to come out with this now that it's been approved?

About returning the mouse from Best Buy, I actually *just* got home from Best Buy after purchasing the MX Revolution , it's sitting next to me in it's box. Do they charge a repackaging fee or anything if I open it to play around with it? There's a little piece of black tape holding it shut where you access the mouse.

oh dear god, that's awesome. I know what my next mouse will be!

About time Logitech released this mouse on bluetooth! Can't Wait!

About time Logitech released this mouse on bluetooth! Can't Wait!

I emailed Logitech's CEO Guerrino De Luca about adopting Bluetooth technology in their mice.

He said they were working on moving more mice to Bluetooth, but was concerned about battery life and connections dropping from time to time as Bluetooth times out.

 

[QCassidy352]

I looked around a bit, and the BT version of the MX Revolution already exists.

In fact, there are people already using it.

The only catch is that as of now, it's only available as part of a $150 mouse/keyboard set (the MX 5500)... and personally, the keyboard is nothing I would want.

But the bottom line is that a bluetooth mx revolution already exists and is in use! Hopefully won't be long until it's available as a stand-alone.

 

[JSchwage]

Personally, I don't think Bluetooth mice are up to snuff with their wireless USB brethren. Tracking seems to be a bit more choppy when using Bluetooth mice in my experience.

I've never had this problem ever with any of my Bluetooth devices. Sounds like an excuse they are trying to use to not use Bluetooth.

I definitely prefer BT peripherals, and find them quite reliable. My problem is that there just aren't any BT mice out there right now that meet my requirements.

This is part of the reply I received from Guerrino:

- we do continue to look at bluetooth and have just brough out a new BT
mouse called the V470 (available on Mac & PC). Our real challenge with BT
is that it is a network technology - this means that there is a lot of
overhead associated with creating low power, low bandwidth peripherals
which need a high degree of responsiveness. Translated simply, BT mice
suffer from pretty poor battery life (around 3x less than an equivalent 2.4
Ghz mouse) and also have much slower responsiveness (slow to wake from
sleep mode and also have a lower reporting rate).

There is a new version of BT planned for 2008 which will address some of
the issues above and which will enable us to provide a better experience.
