Aside from the wheels, the MX Revolution is a relatively basic laser mouse in an extremely comfortable shell that has most of the features you'd expect. The two thumb-side buttons are smaller than on many other mice, but they're no less convenient to press for moving backward and forward between Web pages. At times they didn't register when we thought we'd pressed them, though, so the button sensitivity could use some tweaking, and that is not a setting you can change in Logitech's SetPoint software.
We were also a bit disappointed to see that the MX Revolution has no option to tweak the laser sensor's sensitivity on the fly. Perhaps Logitech considers that feature more appropriate to gaming mice, but for $99, we'd like to see such an option included. We imagine that designers and others, in addition to gamers, would appreciate the ability to switch cursor sensitivity without going into the mouse software. Logitech could have used the small button that sits under the scrollwheel for this. Right now, it's designed to call up the search engine of your choice, but we never found that capability particularly useful.
