The '''Logitech MX Revolution''' is a wireless, laser [[Mouse (computing)|mouse]] manufactured by [[Logitech]] and released in 2006. The MX Revolution is the first mouse to feature a free-spinning scroll wheel, which allows continuous scrolling for several seconds with a single user action. The '''Logitech VX Revolution''' is an equivalent product intended for laptop use.
==Features==
The MX Revolution and VX revolution are wireless, USB 2.0 mouses which operate on the 2.4 GHz band with an operating range of 20 - 30 ft. The mouse is powered from a non-removable, rechargeable Lithium battery. The optical sensor employs a small infrared laser with an advertised sensitivity of 800 dpi.

The most significant new feature of the MX Revolution is the "hyper-scrolling" scroll-wheel. The method of scroll-wheel operation may be toggled between conventional line-by-line scrolling and near frictionless "hyper-scrolling" by clicking the scroll wheel. Included software may be used to customize operation that ties specific applications to a particular mode of scroll wheel operation. The free-spinning scroll wheel employs a 14-gram metal flywheel which can spin continuously for up to seven seconds with a single user action.<ref>[http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=2843 Anandtech product review]</ref> Other new features include single-button web search, a document quick-flip side wheel, and ergonomic enhancements. The mouse has a total of seven buttons, all of them programmable except for the right and left click.

==Marketing==
The MX Revolution is marketed as a general purpose mouse, a product refresh for the Logitech MX1000. The MX revolution is not marketed as a replacement for the [[Logitech 'G' series|Logitech G7]], Logitech's gaming mouse. The first suggested retail price ($99) suggests that the MX Revolution is targeted towards enthusiasts and [[early adopters]]. Logitech's marketing campaign touts the Revolution as the "World's Most Advanced Mouse."

==Main Complaints==

Overall, the mouse has been accepted by those who by it, but there are complaints. One of the main complaints is that the mouse has a relatively poor ergonomic design. It also uses a high amount of power to operate and must be either turned off after use or recharged constantly.<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Revolution-Cordless-Laser-Mouse/dp/B000HCT12O Amazon Product review]</ref>
