Staples had a sale on the new Logitech VX MX Revolution for 59.98 & 79.98 respectively. I also bought an cartridge of ink as a filler to get the 30 off 150 spent. Got back two $3 coupons from my empty ink cartridges as well. After all taxes etc, I paid $136 shipped/picked up.
I like to give a slight review of the new mice and comparison to my old mx1000.
The mx1000 mouse was a good mouse, good battery life, felt decently well, most buttons were functional. But later i realized the amount of control was limited due to its high hump and center of gravity. It's also a bit bulky and heavy, though not to the point of being uncomfortable. Some of the buttons were also difficult to put into daily use due to its positioning. All in all, I was just satisfied. Gaming wise it was just not very good providing mediocre control and accuracy.
The Rev Mx felt better compared the MX1000, the hump was not nearly as high, almost all the buttons were easily accessible, noticeably lighter, less bulky, and conformed to the curvature of the palm a bit more. The mouse does seem slightly bit longer and had a bit of difficulty pushing the side scroll upward as the center of my thumb rested on the lower half of the scroll.
The Rev VX on the other hand felt felt even better as I was able to wrap my hands around it more than either of the MXs. More of the ball of my palm was able to rest giving me more control and accuracy. All the buttons were even more accessible, but the zoom trigger seemed a bit stiff. The weight is just slightly heavier than the Rev MX, but still lighter than the old MX.
As for the free flying scroll, it's very interesting indeed. Nothing like i've ever used (obviously) and quite functional indeed. The feedback due to its alloy weight, is good. The Rev MX isn't ideal for gaming if u use the scroll wheel button because it's used to switch between the free spinning and regular scroll wheel modes.
I think my review could not prove as useful to most people because my hands aren't exactly the avg size of Americans. I am Chinese and 5'6.5" tall, my hands aren't that large and prolly considered on the small side. Perhaps that's why I feel the rev MX seems a bit oversized and the VX feeling very good. Taking that into consideration, I think the rev MX will feel VERY good for the average crowd.
