I can’t seem to find an answer about the resolution either. Some other reviews mention 1000 dpi, but since I can’t find the info on Logitech’s site, I’m not inclined to believe that number.

As for being adjustable, do you mean any settings, or just the resolution? There’s a special control panel app that you can install that allows you to change button functions. There’s nothing (at least in the Mac version) that allows you to adjust the resolution.

The bottom of the little charger dock says: Rating: 8.0V, 500mA. The actual AC Adapter has Input: 100 – 240V

Hope that helps

Thanks

I’m still using the Revolution and have not had the mouse jumping issue that you describe. I didn’t have the issue with my MX1000 either though…

I am now used to the fact that the Revolution does not allow me to click the scroll wheel to open a new tab in my browser. I’ve re-trained myself to just right click and open a new tab that way. It wasn’t that difficult and is now 2nd nature. I really love the smooth scrolling feature of the Revolution, so have decided to stick with it.

I have 2 concerns regarding getting a new logitech wireless laser mouse. While I am largely happy w/ my mx1000. One, it will sometime jump my cursor to the edge of my monitor, not so bad most of the time, but when i’m dragging something somewhere and it gets lost at the edge of the desktop, it’s a pain. Secondly, as time has progressed seating it in the charging dock and getting it to charge has become an increasingly difficult task.

Has anybody had these challenges w/ the mx 1000, or alternatively, have you had these experiences w/ the revo?

any input would be greatly appreciated.

I really dislike the mighty mouse because of it’s total lack of ergonomicality over style, and has lots of hardware/sofrtware bugs… but it does have a handy set of buttons.

Seems like Logitech saves the day.

Thanks for all the help, it’s much appreciated

Ok, here’s scoop. With the prefs pane for the mouse, you can only really program the two buttons above the thumb wheel. These buttons can have a one key assigned to them along with a one of 4 modifiers keys (^, apple key, option key and shift). I had a little trouble getting it to accept F9, so I had to go into the prefs for Expose and Dashboard, set the buttons to something other than an function key, then go to the MX prefs and set them to the function key and then switch it back in Expose. Hope that makes sense.

That would be brilliant!… I can’t find a store where I can go and try this out on a Mac.

If I can’t configure it how I’m thinking, do you know what buttons I can configure? having to use the mac kayboard isn’t the end of the world, the mouse does look pretty spiffy and all

Thanks

Nick.

I’ll have to look at the prefs software tonight after I get home from my day job. Off the top of my head, I don’t think you can do what you are asking… but I don’t trust my memory

Thanks very much for the review, it’s been extremely helpful.

I just needed some clarification though. I’m convinced I need to replace my Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse. And the MX revo. has been the top contender so far.

A very big question for me is, is there anywhere on the mouse I could configure a Dashboard button and Expose button? Ideally I would like the middle click to be Dashboard and thumbwheel click to be Expose.

Both are features that make up a good chunk of my workflow on my Mac, and whilst I can use them from my Apple keyboard. I find them much more accessible on my mouse.

If you can shed any light, I’d really appreciate it.

Nick.

I just bought this mouse and downloaded the latest software.

I too would have wanted the scroll wheels to act as something else (Double Click). However I can’t find the option for the life of me.

Would you care to share this info on how to?

Thanks!

Julie,

You can definitely change the behavior of the wheel click from “mode switch” to “middle button”, at least in Windows.

I’m at work right now (my MX Revo is on my home desktop) so I can’t tell you which Setpoint tab this is on, sorry.

Unfortunately, even after doing this, the feel of the middle click is very “hard”, i.e., you really have to press the wheel hard to get it to middle click. Maybe mine is defective. Is your wheel click as light at the other buttons or the thumbwheel? I too use this extensively with Firefox so it’s very important.

Other than that, I agree with your review in that it is a great mouse. This is definitely an improvement over the old Logitech diNovo mouse I was using that had NiMH batteries in it that wouldn’t last more than a few days of light evening use.

BTW, I also got the Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard. Maybe you’re reviewing this right now. If not, I’d recommend requesting or buying one as it is a superb and extraordinarily stylish unit. The batteries in it are supposed to last over two months on a charge and Setpoint gives you an estimate in days of the remaining power.

I agree that pressing the center wheel is more difficult than the other buttons and more difficult than other scroll wheel mice that I’ve used. I will probably be swapping back to the MX1000 and giving the MX Revolution to my roomie. I’m too used to using that button for browsing tabs and don’t want to try to relearn myself by using the right-mouse-click-open-in-new-tab option.

No, I’ve not seen and am not reviewing the diNovo Edge keyboard. I don’t really have as much of an interest in wireless keyboards like I do wireless mice. I will try to check it out though.
