love it
used daily for awhile now and no problems. and if I ever need to replace it , it will be the same one again!

A great desktop mouse
Don't think this is just for notebooks. It's a great size for normal desktop use, which is how I use mine. I just wore out my first version of this (after a couple of years use) and quickly bought the same thing. I have big manly hands (for a geek), and it's not too small for me. I actually think it's a bit on the large size for a notebook/netbook mouse. Most are smaller.

I doubt the ergonomics would be great for left-handed use, but for right handers, just fine. I only use a few of the programmable buttons, but it's nice that thay are there.

Battery life seems pretty good, maybe 6 months or so. And then when it is time to replace, it's only a single AA battery.

A bit pricey for a mouse, but having bought two of them, I think they are worth it.

Logitech VX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks
This is my second piurchase of a VX Revolution for notebook. I also have the larger version of this product for my desktop.

Tne VX Revolution worked so well for me that I replaced my wifes microsoft cordless laser mouse with this current purchase. The microsoft mouse on my wifes desktop kept acting eratically whenever I would type or mouse on my desktop (both computers are in the same room). Needless to say she complained whenever I typed or moused, so microsoft had to get the boot.

VX Revolution's are excellent. Inserting the USB adapter into the mouse for stoprage shuts off popwer to the mouse as does long period of non movement. Batteries (last 2-3 months. Pointing, etc., are all standard for a good mouse. Laser works well and is acurate. I do not use any of the other buttons besides left/right click and wheel, but those do not get in my way. Requires no software installation for XP and Vista. Got the best price and delivery at Amazon.

My favorite mouse
I purchased this mouse more than one year ago and have used it with my desktop Mac. I have since learned that it has been discontinued, which saddens me because it is the best mouse I have ever used! Consequently, I purchased two additional mice - one for my MacBook Pro and one as a spare. As a student of interior design, I use CAD software on a daily basis and have found the programmable buttons a tremendous help for creating my drawings. I did use SteerMouse to configure the buttons for this application (AutoDesk's fault, not Logitech's), but I have had no problems since installation. This is by far the most comfortable mouse I have ever used for my small hands.

After reading others' reviews, I have a few suggestions:
1. READ the instructions! Many of the reviewers' problems might have been solved by simply obtaining and installing the correct drivers.
2. DON'T drop your mouse! I don't understand why you would subject such an investment to repeated abuse. For the record, I take care to avoid dropping my cell phone or sunglasses also.
3. Keep your mouse clean! I have found that the occasional "twitches" are usually caused by dust or cat hair on the lens of the mouse. Once I remove the dust, my problem is solved.
4. Turn the mouse off whenever you're not using it and use batteries intended for high-tech devices. Longer battery life (mine lasts about 6 weeks at a time) equals less hassle, less expense, and fewer batteries in a landfill!
