MX Revolution (99,99 euro)
The eye-catcher of the day was without any doubt this new revolutionary mouse. User comments learnt them there were two aspect they could work on. The first was the surface coverage of a mouse. People want it to work anywhere, even when sitting at a wooden table in the garden for example. A second remark was they wanted to scroll faster. Moreover, technology evolves. Back in the old days, you could run one program, but nowadays pc are strong enough to keep five or six applications running.

All this added to the making of a new mouse, called the MX Revolution. Logitech calls the mouse “designed for the enthusiast” and we have to admit it looks kind of weird at first. However, the technology is rather impressive. There is a little motor build inside, so that you can switch between normal scrolling and hyper-fast scrolling. This way, you can fly through long documents. Besides changing between this modes manually, there’s also the SmartShift Technology that detects your current application and automatically applies the scrolling mode that fits best. Other features are the document Quick-Flip and the Search button. The first one makes it easier to copy/paste or compare between documents, the second feature makes it possible to highlight a word or phrase and then press the button to immediately display results from your favourite search engine.

Speed will test the mouse extensively and will tell us whether is as good as it sounds in a review soon.

VX Revolution (79,99 euro)
The little brother of the MX Revolution, with an ergonomic design more suitable for notebooks. It is still possible to scroll very fast and switch manually between hyper-fast or normal, but the SmartShift technology is not included. This version has a zoom-out and a zoom-in button on top in stead of the document Quick-Flip wheel on the side. However, the Search button is still there and there’s also room to store the micro-receiver.
