OK things that I personally dislike about the MX Revolution:
- The "one click search" button is wrongly located. Sometimes I click it without noticing and a web browser page pops up! Very annoying because the button is rather sensible. It can be disabled, but I haven't gone to that stretch.
- The wheel is a piece of genius, but it has some drawbacks. You may need to fine tune it to your needs as it can feel rather akward if you spin the wheel and it just continues scrolling while you didn't want it to. You can have the graded mode or the freespin mode, or an intelligent combination of both.
- The battery wich is a NimH is not THAT long lasting. If you plan on buying this mouse, remember that you can not change the battery that's inside it as there are no way to access it. So the mouse will last as long as the battery has life. It's pretty good thoe, as a charge will last you for over a week of intense usage. When it's getting low, the battery indicator turns red, which is quite nice to have. After that, your Windows will tell you that the battery in the mouse needs recharging! But if you put the mouse back in the stand after a day's usage, you'll never encounter these. I found it cheap that a 100$ mouse can't change it's battery! Keep your bill for warranty.
It is still a great mouse to own!
EDIT: It's funny when I turn back to a regular mouse, because no mouse that I know of has a freespin mode. I got totally used to this. Just spin the wheel and watch your webpage / documents / source file roll!!! Very good for some thread here ;) LOL!
