#logitech_mx_revolution My advice with this mouse is to download überoptions, it gives you way more freedom to change the options and customize the buttons for any piece of software.
This makes it a great working mouse in specialized an advanced software. (and even gaming)
The mouse-feed tent to wear very quickly of a dirty surface, but when used on a good and clean surface they get pollished and result in really smooth sliding. When you wear them out, you can send local Logitech a mail, at leas here in Europe they send you new feed for free.
PS. The silver search button behind the scrollweel is usefull as a middle-mouse-button if you (like me) don't want to lose the scrollmode-switching. But it is a little to far back to be easy to use. So if you need it a lot in a program, it is best to assign one of the 'back/forward' buttons as middle-mouse-button for the specific program.

#logitech_mx_revolution I have gone through two of these mice and I have had the same problem with both of them. The first one on my system was great up until about a year after I purchased it when I noticed the motion starting to lag and also sometimes when trying to select something the mouse would automatically release the drag - very annoying! It progressively got worse and I ended up sending it in to Logitech under warranty. Logitech said it was defective and replaced it and everything was good again. So now it's been about a year since I've been using the replacement and I'm starting to notice a lag again that is again progressively getting worse. The good thing is that Logitech does give a 3 year warranty on the mouse but it's a pain to have to send it in again. I really love the mouse cause it's really functional, quick to respond (usually), looks nice, fits my hand perfectly...I just don't know what's up with the lagging problem.
