I’m a Smooth-scrolling Motherbitch!

Coz I got a Logitech VX Revolution. Expensive, elaborate, huge and very nice indeed. This is the ultimate mouse. For something with 13 buttons it appears surprisingly uncomplicated. Very precise pointing and a beautiful smooth scroll wheel. It is also large enough for my oversized hands. I’ve been having problems playing first person shooters because I end up fumbling with the mouse. No more of that!

So, goodbye Mighty Mouse! You’re going onto the eBays. You’re pretty, but sadly just-don’t-work-proper. Actually while I’m gushing over the VX Revolution I’ll take the time to warn everyone off the Mighty Mouse. It’s expensive for what it is, the scroll-ball just breaks — constantly stops working because it gets dirty — and the fancy touch sensitive buttons are confusing for most people.

It’s a nice experiment but just sucks really. Oh and don’t get a Apple Bluetooth mouse of any kind. They’re laggy, heavy and batteries are a hassle to deal with.

VX FTW!

Really? What am I doing wrong? With the mighty mouse I mean… my fingers are fine, I swears.

As I understand, the gunk in the scroll ball isn’t unusual. Looks like you’re blessed nick :)

You got a MX Revolution. I’m afraid that, if you don’t know it’s name, I’m going to have to take it away from you. You know, give it to a good home. Somewhere with a family that will love it like you can’t. Maybe in the country. With a dog.

*Tosses ‘nade at mr eel.
