  Duration of ownership:5 Months

  Strengths: Very comfortable. Precise. Good battery life. Aesthetically appealing.

  Weaknesses: Loud scroll wheel.

  Overall Evaluation: This is the most comfortable and ergonomic mouse I've ever used. It looks great and works well. Can't ask for much more precision in a wireless mouse. Love the back and forward buttons for web surfing. If you download the logitech software, it allows you to configure what each button does on a global setting or specific to each program. If you spend a little time setting this up it can really enhance your computing experience. The only thing is that is a little off on this mouse is the scroll wheel. I'm used to the standard wheel but this one has a free scrolling feature which takes some getting used to. I'm still not 100% sold on it. Other than that I highly recommend it.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Extra buttons, receiver hides in mouse when not in use, common battery type (AA)

  Weaknesses: Eats batteries fast, shape could be improved, doesn't track perfectly, doesn't travel well, doesn't seem it will last long

  Overall Evaluation: This mouse ate the included disposable AA in 3 days. I figured it was low quality, but view point software says the new battery is down to 65% after only 1 day of use. I mainly bought this for the extra side buttons since I find I get a lot of use out of them from my old mouse, but this one feels tiny, light, and awkward. Tracking is off at times. No idea what it could be. I switched surfaces from nylon (zip-up binder) to real mouse surfaces and even a cardboard box and another box with a glossy surface. Also tried moving the transmitter to new USB ports... the glitched tracking goes away after a few minutes. During the glitching, it's really hard to highlight words by dragging, but I've gotten used to using the keyboard now. I once carried this in my backpack to school and thought the mouse buttons were sticky, but after hearing a snap I found the mouse wheel can get squished down underneath which sort of jams the 2 keys.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Very accurate. Tracks extremely well - especially in games. Fits smaller hands very well, but it's not so small it makes your hand cramp like some of the Microsoft notebook mice. Good battery life.

  Weaknesses: Haven't found any yet.

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this as an extra for the day when my first one wears out, that's how much I like this mouse. I just love this mouse for gaming. Playing first person shooters where accuracy is a must, the VX Revolution Laser is the perfect solution. Even though they advertise this as a "notebook" mouse, it's not small & cramping like the Microsoft versions. It's somewhere in between a full-sized mouse & the small wireless MS mouse. My hands are somewhat small (medium size glove is as large as I can comfortably wear) & this mouse is a perfect fit.

  Duration of ownership:90 Days

  Strengths: Long distance, great accuracy, battery lifetime is good.

  Weaknesses: Mouse wheel has a rubber band. It becomes loose and obstructs free movement.

  Overall Evaluation: This counts for all the Revolutions models:The mouse wheel has a rubber ring which after a few months becomes loose. The wheel will not run freely anymore and will become useless. Logitech has a great service. They replaced my mouse for another one with the same problem.

  Duration of ownership:4 Months

  Strengths: None after 3-4 months, if you are buying this to get the fast scroll wheel.

  Weaknesses: After 3-4 months, the scroll wheel gets reduced to crawl. SetPoint (driver) is buggy (sends events to wrong windows, say the scroll witing a frame in IE won;t work), and it won't install on Win 2003.

  Overall Evaluation: If you survive and forgive the SetPoint software (refuses to install on Windows 2003, sends events to wrong windows, forget about scrolling in a frame in IE, horizontal scroll is a toss of a coin), the catastrophic event is awaiting you 3-4 months down the line (maybe 6 if you don't use it much). The problem was reported on Logitech support pages, and the only "solution" someone (not their support) came up with was to remove the rubber grip from the scroll wheel, replace it with a putty and paint it :-) Apparently that rubber starts expanding and the casing was built to a way too tight tolerance so it starts rubbing off - kills all inertial force that makes the wheel fast. Logitech support plays silent, company started reducing the price of the mouse, but honestly no price reduction will do if you have to buy 4 mice per year. Also mouse is very tricky to open and even trickier to close (a few small springs may jump away), so even if someone would make a replacement grip it would be pretty tough deal to replace it properly. Bottom line - unless Logitech releases new version/model that would have user replaceable wheel (and/or wheel grip), the "Revolution" is dead. Extra problem is that after 3-4 months your fingers get used to the speed, so one is better off not trying in the first place.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Well designed, comfortable, precise and responsive.

  Weaknesses: over priced

  Overall Evaluation: The Logitech VX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse is well desined for loptops. It is very comfortable to use, the shape of which fits well into hands, providing a firm and comfortable grip with all the buttons seem conveniently placed. It can also be used as a good desktop mouse for small hands.It is very responsive and precise to navigate the screen of a laptop. It also comes with a multi-purpose scroll wheel, which also allows for side-to-side movement, a function that is very useful for wide documents.The design of the mouse is well thought out for travelers. The wireless receiver fits into a recess in the mouse, which serves as a switch: jecting the receiver from the unit turns it on and inserting the receiver into the mouse turns it off. The mouse uses a single common AA batteries. As always, I highly recommend getting a dozens of the NiMH rechargeable AA batteries and a nice charger like LaCrosseBC-900 Battery Charger, which are must are must have items for today's home.

  Strengths: smooth tracking and scrolling, very accurate, reliable mouse

  Weaknesses: a bit small for me

  Overall Evaluation: Nice little mouse to use on the road. It's small for me as I've got big hands, but not a huge deal as I don't expect to use this all the time. I don't have many complaints, this is a "futuristic" mouse if there is a such thing. To those who think mouse development is over, think again. I read that using a laser to track is a new technology in mice. There's a bunch of funky extra mouse buttons that serve different purposes depending on the user (especially in web browsing/scrolling). I was never able to get into using them, even with my previous mouse, but I'm going to try with this new mouse as it could be such a great convenience. It's just hard to get into new habits when I use a computer. I also have the "sister" mouse the MX Revolution which is a desktop version. I'll update this if I need to in the future as I haven't used it a lot since it's a notebook mouse, but I plan to use it more in the future when I travel.
