Now I own recently the latest development in the mouse market, the Logitech MX Revolution.
Fans of somewhat older but also consistently recommended MX 1000 will also come with the Revolution their money's worth. The mouse fits snugly in the hand, has become lighter by almost one third than its predecessor and offers some unique features.
This includes the mouse wheel, which switches depending on the application between a rasterized and a free-running mode.
With the Smart Shift mode, the mouse automatically detects if I want to scroll far (because I quickly turn the wheel, then the grid jumps up) or scroll only precise and slowly will (then remains the grid turned on). The threshold value of the speed from when the mouse wheel changes the mode can be set in the clear Set Point software.
The control can also be completely switched off, the mode is changed then via pressure on the mouse wheel. However, at SmartShift and activated manual switching activate falls the function of "middle-click" of the switching function to the victim. (See the last paragraph!)
The middle mouse wheel is not only for vertical scrolling because it can also be tilted sideways to scroll horizontal.
The "thumb" is not really a bike, but more of a rocker switch, which can be moved forward and backward, but then jumps back to the center position. The SetPoint software can be used (in Windows similar. ALT + TAB) this with a zoom function (eg in Photoshop) or a document change function.
Has been well located Whom the old MX 1000 in the hand, which also fits the new revolution. I have very small hands, in spite of all the buttons and wheels are still very accessible. So far, I have kept no more ergonomic mouse in hand. Fatigue-free work is guaranteed.
The internal, non-replaceable Li-Ion battery is charged via a separate charging station that no longer serves as a receiver. The receiver is a small, separate USB stick. The attractive charging station can thus also be a little further away from the PC, as it only needs to be connected to an electrical outlet.
The receiver operates cleanly and without stuttering, the mouse runs without delays and also the latency that annoy the players, especially with cheap wireless mice, I could not perceive. The receiver must be plugged into a USB port and the connection is established automatically. No more "Connecten" more and no Pressing Buttons, all fully automatically and smoothly. For me, the mouse runs along with a Cherry wireless keyboard, a Bluetooth stick and WLAN without causing problems.
The mouse is on absolutely flat, no wobbling and rocking more. large seat area effortless gliding. Despite the size and weight, I would rate the mouse even as suitable for gaming. The placed under the wheel search button that typically opens search sites like Google or Yahoo can namely also be provided with any key (not with the "middle mouse button"), providing more options in computer games.
The sampling is also perform despite the "only" 800 dpi very precise and thanks to the good feel can be so effortlessly even the finest Arbeitem in graphics programs without graphics tablet.
I hope my review might help you in your decision. While it's not the cheapest mouse, but processing, function and 3-year warranty speaks for itself.
>>>>> Attention !!! Here one must I unfortunately my speakers CONTRARY!
It is quite possible (!!!), the various MOUSEWHEEL modes and the middle mouse button TO USE!
User who is middle mouse button to not want to do without these steps:
- Smart Shift Enable
- "Allow manual mode change" DISABLE
- In the key configuration, the wheel dial (3 point), then mark others and "Select Function" to choose the "middle mouse button").
- "Accept" button
The wheel turns now, depending on the rotational speed between the halftone dot and free running mode back and forth. The threshold value can be set. If you hold the mouse wheel which is triggered "middle mouse button", the Firefox browser, for example, can thus open links in a new tab.
