I just completed doing a review of the Logitech MX Revolution cordless laser mouse for The TechZone, and I must say, I’m very impressed with this mouse. Although many of these higher-end devices are typically marketed toward the hardcore gaming population — they have to have the absolute best in speed and precision if they hope to become fragging kings like Fata1ity Johnathan Wendel — but there is a lot of appeal here for business users as well.
The high-precision laser provides for some very accurate cursor movements, regardless of the surface you are using. This makes it great for when you’re doing a sales presentation and a mouse pad just isn’t around. In this way, you can just bring this wireless mouse and use it on any nearby table, wall, or even a leather couch. Yes, it is that precise and it will work on just about any surface.
Another very userful feature is what Logitech calls its “MicroGear” scroll wheel. The scroll wheel has two modes. The first is the standard click-by-click, line-by-line kind of scrolling. The other — which you access by pushing the scroll wheel into the body of the mouse — is called “free spin” and provides a near frictionless scroll. Got a huge Excel spreadsheet? One flick of the wheel and you go down thousands and thousands of rows.
The MSRP on this mouse is a hefty $99.99, but it goes on sale from time to time at a number of retailers. I’ve seen it go for as little as fifty bucks. Similar mice from Logitech include the VX Revolution for Notebooks and the newly announced VX Nano for Notebooks.

Yes, this does look like a sweet mouse.
But, I already own the MX1000, which is the previous model to the MX Rev, and it works great.
I wonder how the MX1000 and the MX Rev compare…?

That’s the VX Revolution Laptop mouse that’s on for $60. The MX Revolution is $119 (save $18).
