Logitech MX Revolution

We like the smooth-spinning mouse wheel on Microsoft's Intellimouse Explorer 4 for application work and web browsing, but its detentless design leaves much to be desired when playing games where you use the mouse wheel to select your weapons. Until...

We got around five days of use from a single charge of the rechargeable batteries, and the laser sensor is precise enough for the pickiest person. We’d love to see buttons dedicated to on-the-fly sensitivity switching, instead of the largely useless...

Logitech MX Revolution

Once again, Logitech innovates the mouse in unexpected ways. The unique flywheel design is an entirely new approach to scrolling, but does it add to the user experience or detract? Are users ready to learn to scroll anew? Read on for our take on both...

Innovative fly-wheel; accurate and responsive tracking; laser technology

Only supports right hand users; scroll wheel is sensitive at times

The Logitech MX and VX Revolution mice may not be a revolution, but they represent the next major evolution of input devices.

Logitech MX Revolution

The chief innovation of the MX Revolution is its scroll button. It functions in both the typical incremental click style, but also as a free-spinning wheel. This means you can whip the wheel frontward and back and navigate hundreds of pages in a...

Free-spinning scrollwheel makes it easy to navigate long documents and Web pages; thumb-side wheel aides in application switching; comfortable design.

Scrollwheel can be a little tweaky during finer movement; thumb-side buttons not sensitive enough; no on-the-fly cursor speed customization.

Every year we think Logitech has pushed the cordless laser mouse to the limit of functionality, and we're always proved wrong. The MX Revolution has a few minor issues, but for the most part, this high-end mouse continues Logitech's streak of market...

Logitech Cordless Desktop MX5000 Laser

The $149 Logitech Cordless Desktop MX5000 Laser, a Bluetooth-enabled keyboard and mouse duo that combines touch-pad technology with a built-in LCD, will make a cutting-edge addition to your desktop. With media controls and hot keys, the set is well...

Attractive design; touch pad and LCD built into keyboard for displaying basic information; excellent mouse with programmable buttons.

Keyboard and computer interactions can experience some lag; mouse for right-handed use only; hot keys and media control buttons are too small; LCD lacks a backlight; not Mac compatible.

The attractive Logitech Cordless Desktop MX5000 Laser features flashy new technology, but its few flaws keep it from being our favorite desktop set.

Read Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution

Bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard combinations are becoming ever more popular for the average user primarily due to the lack of cords. However, due to the latency time required to transmit keystrokes and mouse movements/clicks these devices have...

Comfort ; Cool Display ; Excellent response time ; Long battery life

Display makes it difficult to tuck inside keyboard trays ; Mouse won’t work if you're left handed

Overall I’m extremely pleased with the MX 5500 and has lived up to the high quality that Logitech is known for. Even while gaming I found the device to perform very well. At Overall I’m extremely pleased with the MX 5500 and has lived up to the high...

Logitech Cordless Desktop MX5500 Revolution Review

I've generally enjoyed the assortment of accessories provided by Logitech. From the awesome (albeit expensive) diNovo Edge keyboard to the diminutive VX Nano wireless mouse, Logitech has always been able to deliver the goods. One of their most recent...

Being lefthanded, the mouse is a horrible to use.

Gear Review: Logitech MX5500

The new Revolution combo adds awesome control right at your finger tips - but are they equal performers?

Excellent Mouse Design, Thoughtful button layout on both devices, Useful Smart Calculator Function

Pricey, blah keyboard design., Glut of shortcut buttons you'll probably never use.

This is where the Logitech design and feature set combine to form a sum greater than its parts. The keyboard delivers excellent keyboard feedback with the right amount of key travel. You're never getting lost in key "sinkholes" or accidentally pressing...
