Customer Review: Great mouse, new gimmicks, useful features
Summary: 5 Stars
The Logitech VX Revolution is a fine example of just how far computer mice have come over the last few years. Although it is a feature-laden mouse, it still maintains a sleek, ergonomic design that feels comfortable in your hand. The features include some that you would expect of all high-end mice including a laser based tracking system instead of the old rolling ball based system. If you've ever been frustrated by jerky or strange movements of a mouse with a dirty ball you quickly come to appreciate the laser-based tracking device that simply works the way you expect every time.
Of course it also has a scroll wheel to move through pages of long documents quickly and easily as well as the ability to scroll right or left by tilting the scroll wheel in the desired direction. However, there is one difference in this scroll wheel and others. With the flip of a switch on the bottom of the mouse you can change from the more common click-style wheel to one that absolutely flies through pages and pages much more quickly while still allowing the user to stop instantly where they want to. According to the Logitech website this feature is supposed to switch automatically based on the way you are working but I was unable to get it to work that way. Still it is just a small switch flip to change between the two modes and once you get used to the ultra fast smooth wheel method it is unlikely that you will want to switch back to the other more common method. This is a great improvement on the scroll wheel.
On the side of the mouse are two buttons that allow you to move forward and back in your web browser with a simply click from your thumb. They are placed very well on the mouse so that you don't hit one accidentally but it is still easy to click on purpose with a minimum of movement.
One of the unique features that some will find indispensable and others will find to be unused fluff there is a zoom in and zoom out feature. I thought this was a great idea for people that work a lot with pictures but unlikely to be of value to me, but I was wrong. Not only does it zoom in and out on pictures in your favorite picture viewing application but it will also zoom in quickly on a spreadsheet or word processing document and in other applications. I found it particularly useful on large spreadsheets where I could zoom out to get a picture of the whole spreadsheet, click on an area of interest and then zoom in to that location to make changes. Of course this does not work in all applications or in all situations. For example, it works in my web browser (Firefox) on search pages but does not work in the web browser when it was used to view a picture on the local drive. It also did not zoom in on pictures on a web site if you zoomed in on the web site. The text enlarged but the pictures stay the same size. Keep this in mind also for users who have failing eyesight. They will love this mouse just for this feature alone.
Another unique feature is a small button below the scroll wheel that allows the user to do a quick Internet search for a term or phrase by simply highlighting the word(s) and clicking the button. It will only search Yahoo or Google and you have a choice between them for your default search engine but it is still a nice feature at times. It works well although I don't personally see a lot of value to the feature. Those who often make basic searches of terms they find in documents or web pages will probably love the feature. My searches generally have multiple terms and sometimes other parameters and so it does not function the way I do.
All in all this is a great mouse and is far superior to trying to use the trackpad on my laptop. The mouse can be a few feet away and does not have to be pointed toward the computer which makes it real useful for the way I work and my office is set up. The final very nice feature for a mouse designed for the laptop like this one is the way the USB receiver is stored in the mouse. These things are very small and very easy to lose and when you lose it the mouse will no longer work. To resolve this problem there is a place in the back of the mouse where the receiver can be pushed into the mouse and it clicks into place. In addition to keeping the receiver safe from loss this action turns off the mouse and saves battery power automatically. To get the receiver back out just press a button and it pops out.
A final feature that many users will probably not realize even exists is the ability to switch between open applications easily. If you press down on the scroll wheel a window pops up with all of your open applications listed. From there you just click on the one you want to go to and the display switches to it. This is very useful when copying information between applications.
All in all I really like this mouse. I work with a lot of long documents and spreadsheets and the fast scrolling is extremely useful to me. The ability to zoom in and out of spreadsheets is also a great feature that I find myself using every day. Personally the forward and back buttons and the Internet search button are primarily useless fluff. I would much rather see the forward and back buttons replaced with a Control and Shift button so I can select multiple files, pictures, etc. without going to the keyboard. Still the improvements in scrolling and the zoom feature as well as the way they are implemented make this mouse a favorite of mine until someone comes out with one with a Control and Shift button.
