What mouse?

I've got an MX600 and do not miss the side buttons at all. Exposé is a nice feature, but you'll probably use it when typing something, etc. and F3 is there for that. As for Dashboard, it's F4. And I believe - don't quote me - that you can program the buttons from other mouses to use these functions. Usually there are back/forward buttons on other mouses, and these will probably be much more useful than the Exposé/Dashboard buttons.

 

I find the quickest way for expose and stuff are the hot corners. You can assign a function to a corner of your screen, and hovering your mouse over the corner triggers the function. This works really well for me, it has become almost a reflex. I use top right for expose (F9) bottom right for desktop (F11) and top left for screensaver. I hit the bottom left corner a few times by mistake so I don't use that one any more.

This may seem complex or trigger happy, but if you try it out you may find it very useful. By now I even go to my corners by accident when in windows.

 

Mac Mouse

I was in the same spot about this time last year and I ended up getting the logitech v450, it worked great but only had one extra button (the scroll wheel) and I really wanted bluetooth so I didn't have to mess with the receiver. So a few months later I got the VX nano despite some bad reviews on macs. At first it sucked, I had to remove the adapter and put it back in several times when I would wake my mbp from sleep, but this latest leopard update fixed it. Now I love the VX nano, it has lots of buttons, hyper scroll, and you can leave the tiny adapter in all the time. I highly recommend it.

 

logitech vx revolution

 

Seconded! There really is no better mouse (unless of course you are left handed).

 

That's funny, I feel the exact same way about my Logitech MX Revolution.

It is, in fact, the finest mouse I've ever owned. I love the size and feel of it. It is extremely solidly constructed and I use every button and both wheels. The dual function scroll wheel on top with the hyper-fast scrolling mode is something I couldn't imagine living without now.

I'm not very familiar with the VX revolution but it appears to be just a smaller version of the MX for notebooks. I'm sure it's also an excellent product.

The MX has a USB dongle not Bluetooth but it is only about 2 inches long and is very inconspicuous in the right side USB port of my iMac's aluminum keyboard.

 

You will be very happy with the Logitech VX/MX series mice. I've used both and they are the best mice I've ever used. I really like the free flowing scroll wheel and the ability to change it back and forth when you need too.

 

i have to say as much as i hate logitech the vx revolution scroll wheel is amazing.


until you use it everyday, you will never know how amazing it is to have a scroll wheel that does not click, it just keeps spinning.


logitech has sent me 3 mice now but what they do not understand is that the software they have is the problem.

do as i did today and use usboverdrive, and you will be very happy.
i am absolutely giddy.
on overdrive i have
down on the scroll wheel select all
on the zoom buttons up is copy and down is past
then back and forth for the other two

i am just soooo happy

 

as i stated, its amazing isn't it?


now that logitech has sent me a 3rd mouse, i was going to keep it packaged and return it to best buy, but now that i use usboverdrive. omg,

how much do you use your zoom buttons?
me, none, now, a lot, now amazingly happy
