Logitech Commandeers the “Revolution”

I guess Logitech figured that, because Nintendo wasn’t going to be using the name Revolution for their game system with the innovative controller, Logitech might as well use it for their “groundbreaking” new controller. Logitech’s idea of a Revolution (MX) is a very swanky looking wireless laser mouse with features they say will make a huge difference in how you use your mouse.

Some of these features include hyper-scrolling (you can free-spin the scroll wheel to blaze through long documents), a detailed navigation mode (which lets you scroll line-by-line through dense documents, spreadsheets, etc), a search button on the mouse (just behind the scroll wheel) which will allow you to initiate a search on a word by clicking the button when the mouse is on that word, a document quick-flip button (the wheel on the side), which lets you flip through open docs/apps, and a couple of other document-handling features. We’re not sure that it’s going to change the world or anything, but it looks like a cool and comfortable mouse with some bells and whistles that might actually be useful. But at US$100, it’s a Revolution that may require financial backing from some shady off-shore sugar daddy.
