Reader Reviews After using the new Revo MX and VX for about a week, I can say that the smaller VX is more useful for Macs in a couple ways. First of all, the Zoom slider on the VX can be programmed to zoom, click, adjust volume, switch application, eject a disc, or just about any other action. The equivalent thumb knob on the MX can only be set to zoom or application switch. Why this is, I don't know. But the Logitech drivers give the VX more flexibility. I also like that the VX takes just one AA battery. The MX has a sealed Lithium battery, so if you happen to run out, you must wait while the mouse recharges. With the VX, you simply pop in a new battery and you are good to go! One shortcoming of the VX is that the much-hyped Gear Shift wheel does not automatically switch from smooth scrolling to click-by-click -- you have to manually flip a small switch on the bottom. For me, this makes the feature useless. In the middle of a long web page, I'm not going to pick up my mouse, flip it over, slide a switch and set it down again. So if you want it to automatically switch between the two modes, get the bigger MX model. There are some nice Mac specific things: The search button bring up your Spotlight search -- NICE! You can get the forward and back buttons work better if you change the default keyboard shortcut from left and right arrow to [ and ] brackets. That way you can use forward and back in Finder windows, as well as any web browser -- really handy! In a nutshell... PROS Much improved Mac OS X drivers (per application settings) Silky smooth gliding Incredibly accurate laser tracking (works even on high-gloss desks!) Easy battery swapping Very tiny USB receiver turns off the mouse when hidden away inside it CONS Expensive Microgear scroll wheel pretty useless Somewhat tiny if you usually rest your entire hand on your mouse. Side scrolling is very slow on Mac, even at maximum setting. (you are best off just turning it off with the driver.) Comments (2) | Permalink | (Report this)
