Digital camera reviews of Logitech VX Revolution Ergonomic Design Cordless 2.4 GHz Wireless Laser Mouse for Notebooks/Laptops/PCs with Hyper-Fast Scrolling
Digital camera Review: A serviceable mouse on the go
Summary: 3 Stars
I first bought the Revolution because I wanted a mouse to play WoW on my MacBookPro. I chose a cordless mouse to maximize my mobility. The Revolution connects to the computer with a small dongle that sticks out about an inch. Most of the time this wasn't a problem, but one one occasion Indy ran by and knocked over my laptop. The computer was fine (thank you MagSafe adapter!), but the USB dongle snapped clean off and I had to replace the mouse.
The Revolution has a nice form factor. I have small hands, and the Revolution is a smaller mouse. It is ergonomically designed and I never have any wrist pain when using it, even after hours and hours of scrolling and clicking. It is reasonably accurate without noticeable lag. the "Hyper-scroll" feature is great for heavy surfing and certain games. The battery life is reasonable - I have to change the two AAs about once every 3-4 months.

Digital camera Review: A very well done mouse for use with laptops
Summary: 4 Stars
Logitech is doing a very nice job of merging form with function in their line of peripherals. The Logitech VX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks is an extremely well done piece of design. It is small, to facilitate packing needs. But it is not so small that the large handed user will find it difficult to use. In fact, it suits my relatively large hands well.
The VX is very responsive, making navigation of the laptop screen a breeze. It needs little room to operate in and the laser sensor worked fine for me on a dark wood table.
The scroll wheel is multi-purpose, but needs to be set with a switch on the bottom of the unit, which limits its usefulness somewhat, since you can't change scroll modes without turning the unit and fiddling with the mechanical switch, which isn't all that easy to move. The scroll wheel does allow for side-to-side movement, which is very useful for wide documents and smaller, lower resolution displays.
There are special purpose buttons for search, zooming and backwards and forwards screen navigation.
The wireless receiver fits into a recess in the mouse, which is great since it lessens the chance of losing the receiver. Ejecting the receiver from the unit turns it on and inserting the receiver into the mouse turns it off. Nice touches to maximize the life of the single AA cell battery that powers the unit. There is nothing, incidentally, in the sparse instructions to indicate how long the battery might last. At least AA cells are available worldwide.
The physical design is worth special mention. As noted, it fits well into large hands. The sculptured side provides a firm, comfortable grip. For me, all the buttons seem conveniently placed.
Why not five stars? Well, I think the unit is overpriced. And it should come with a carrying case similar to the provided with Logitech's laptop webcams.

I bought this to replace a Microsoft Intellimouse. This mouse fits my medium size hands perfectly. I love the size, the scroll wheel, the fit...it rocks!!!!! I use it for my desktop computer. The price isn't bad here on Amazon. It's worth every penny!!!! If you like having the best gizmos - you must buy this mouse and JOIN THE REVOLUTION!
Note: My mouse acted erratically after 3 days of perfection. I noticed more complaints on the Logitech forums. I took the mouse back for a refund, and ordered another refurbished mouse- it works great with NO problems!
