Logitech VX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks



The ultimate notebook mouse.

Rev-up your notebook with the new VX Revolution™. Logitech´s innovative MicroGear™ Precision Scroll Wheel lets you fly through long documents at hyperspeed, or switch to precise click-to-click scrolling to navigate lists, slides, and image collections. Search the Web by highlighting a word or phrase and pressing the Search button. Effortlessly zoom in and out of photos, spreadsheets, and documents with the convenient zoom slider.

New, revolutionary, hyper-fast scroll wheel

A new concept in PC navigation, the MicroGear™ Precision Scroll Wheel operates in two distinct modes, allowing you to scroll faster and with more precision than ever before:

Free-spin mode
for hyper-fast, nearly frictionless scrolling. With a single flick, the machined alloy wheel spins for up to seven seconds, scrolling hundreds of pages or thousands of rows. Fly through long documents and instantly stop wherever you want.

Click-to-click mode for detailed navigation. An ultra-precise ratchet-scrolling mechanism allows users to move line-by-line through complex spreadsheets, step through slideshows, or travel small vertical distances in documents or Web pages.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Not a mouse for power users
Honestly, perhaps the most pathetic mouse I have ever handled. And I’m surprised. I did a lot of research before buying it, and was expecting a good mouse. I have used the Logitech MX 1000, the very best mouse they have ever made bar-none, and the LX7, not a bad mouse either, but I lost the receiver for it, and needed a new one.

So, the main issue with this mouse. Control. You have none. The thing just bounces all over the show with a mind of its own. Scrolling is a total and complete joke. There’s a profound lack of consistency in anything the mouse does. You should be able to get used to a mouse to the point that you know exactly what hand movement is needed to click any spot on your screen. Not with this mouse, it’s all guess work. Clicks often don’t register, and when clicking and dragging, the cursor often just stays still as you’re dragging the mouse.

So this mouse is going back today. Sorry Amazon, not your fault, but if you sell a crappy item, you’re asking for it.

And yes, I do find it odd that all these reviews are so good here. Perhaps they are Windows PC users who are simply not use to the level of control and pin-point accuracy we ARE used to on the Mac.

1 Star Review 1
The mouse was defective & has not worked at all.

Product needs to be returned for a refund.

5 Stars Love it! Mac…
With 300+ reviews already given, I reckon all the important info and issues have been discussed. So, I will simply say, as a MacBook user, I love this Mouse. It’s not the first wireless mouse I’ve used, but thus far, it is definitely the best. As the product’s documentation suggested for Mac users, I downloaded the software from the given website—with no problem, and I was using my new mouse with no worries in just a few minutes. I also purchased an Imak Ergo Beads wrist pillow too, which is very comfortable support. The mouse and pillow make a great combination.

I like the function and design of the Logitech Mouse, and I am glad that the company made this fine product compatible with Macs. In fact, I never liked scroll wheels until I had this mouse. Now, I am a fan of that feature! LOL

4 Stars very good mouse
I’ve had this mouse for about a month. All in all, it’s been great, with only a few issues. The mouse tracks extremely well on nearly any surface, and is accurate enough for photoshop work. The back/forward buttons are well placed, and the main buttons have good feedback. The zoom and search features seem fairly useless and require installing the software to work.

In my opinion, the vx revolution’s worst aspect is the scroll wheel. The free-spinning setting is difficult to use as it lacks any form of precision, though it can scroll a fairly infinite number of pages at a time. When fully engaged, the gearing on the scroll wheel provides an excessive amount of feedback. I generally use the “midpoint” position on the adjuster (which is prone to inadvertant adjustments), but this setting is not ideal for long documents.

The USB receiver is quite large compared to logitech’s “nano” series mice, but the vx revolution does include a useful storage compartment. Inserting or ejecting the mouse turns the power off or on, respectively.

5 Stars There are no better mouse that will surpass this KING!!!
It’s worth the money,it’s an investment that will put a smile on your face when you order it, when the package arrives, when you unbox it, when you get the feel of it, and when you fully utilize it. That’s right, I’m absolutely obsessed with this gadget. I even use it for my desktop, despite the fact that I used to detest wireless mouse. But Logitech proved me wrong, and I absolutely adore this mouse. I dare to vouch for this mouse, you will not be disappointed. VX revolution rules!!!
