When you work with computers all day, a good mouse is a must. My current mouse is a Microsoft Optical Notebook 4000 jobby with a programmable button as well as all the normal buttons including left and right scroll on the scroll wheel. Just checking these new Logitech ones out though, and if they work as well as they look, I think I'll be getting one on the next upgrade. Hope they have Linux drivers.
Logitech went back to the drawing board on the MX Revolution and VX Revolution mice, and here's what they came up with: the MicroGear Precision Scroll Wheel, which enables force feedback application support. Basically the heavy-feeling alloy wheels (of which there are two on the MX, and one on the VX) can spin freely and smoothly for up to seven seconds with a flick of your finger, or lock into the regular ratcheted scrolling motion like most of us are used to, depending on usage (the VX requires a flipped switch to toggle between the modes), the application, and your system's settings. It's kinda one of those things you have to try for yourself to really appreciate (we got to play with one a few weeks back), but if you're already sold and don't have any problems with your mice once again having dozens of moving parts, the Revolution series will set you back $99 or $79, respectively.
