biguprastafari said: This looks like a good deal, but I don't know anything about mice. Reviews point to this as one of the best on the market. Can anyone offer advise or experiences. Either way, good find OP. By far, the best mouse I have ever used or owned and I have used and owned many. Ergonomics are incomparable with any other mouse. Comfort is unbelievable. I purchased the MX Rev. 7 several months ago and wish I had got one much sooner. When doing my research before the purchase, there were 3 main complaints: 1. Charging mechanism was a little challenging [It is true. But once you understand the correct attachment angle, it is a total breeze]. 2. The inside wheel gave some people trouble will gaming [I am not sure about this because I use only the most simple of the buttons]. 3. Logitech's software was not so good...[People all over the world downloaded the 3rd party software called "uberOptions" and they stated in their reviews that it made all the difference in the world]. My personal opinion: I have never tried anything even remotely close to the MX Rev 7's ergonomics, comfort, space age looks, and incredible array of options for set up. You may want to wait until the price drops again...I bought it for $24 with a $20 gift card when Best Buy had the fantastic deal on it. Finally, I encourage anyone seriously considering this mouse to read several of the unbias reviews at Newegg [74% gave it between 4 and 5 eggs, hence it is an Eggcellent mouse]! Here is the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E168261... Have a great day fellow Fatwallet'ers! Soar PS I posted lots of pics and info on this mouse on a previous Fatwallet forum. You can find it all here: http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/947604/?start=20 PSS I found this lastest review very accurate and encouraging: Pros: Simply put this is the best mouse I've ever used. It is very comfortable. It has at least 6 extra buttons that are very conveniently placed. The precision on this mouse is great. With a bit of software this mouse makes the best companion to ANY task on the computer (see other thoughts). While the free scrolling wheel is cool and sometimes useful this is not the major selling point for me, it's comfort, buttons, and usability are. Although this mouse can be pretty pricey depending on where and when you get it, it is well worth the money. Cons: Takes a little bit of software tweaking to get a middle mouse button (a must for me), but this is not enough to keep you away. See Other thoughts. Other Thoughts: The best part about this mouse is the software you can use with it. Logitech Setpoint comes with the mouse and you can also download it free from their website. Setpoint is handy but not all that useful, UNLESS you install an amazing little addon callled "uber." This software allows you to map ANY button on the mouse to ANY keyboard key, mouse stroke, program action, web action, media function, etc. This is a must have for this mouse and makes it's usability incredible. The software can even change the key mappings based on the program open. This mouse + uber is a must. |
