Logitech MX5500 Revolution

The regular mouse wheel is supplemented by the use of a back and forward wheel that works more as a rocker switch than a wheel. The scroll wheel has a transmission that can be used for smooth scrolling or click scrolling and has four settings. On and off according to a transmission and speed of scroll, on or off, and click to change from smooth to click and back. This smooth scrolling is nice for some applications like image editing but does not work so well in word processing or internet viewing as the page will often jump when using smooth scrolling and the wheel settles some.
The MX Revolution mouse works very well for many different types of work and I found that it works well in games as well as more conventional office type work like word editing or internet browsing. The mouse is a nice optical smooth action mouse with a performance laser and nice low battery warning in the blinking battery symbol.
All the buttons on the mouse as well as the many function keys on the keyboard are reprogrammable for a great many settings in your personal use. You can use the very easy to install Logitech SetPoint program to change any of the settings for all Logitech products on your computer easily. The SetPoint program allows for configuration of your peripherals in many ways and it is an easy to use and install program.
The Logitech MX5500 is a great keyboard and mouse set and wonderful for both gaming and regular computer use like in an office. Using the keyboard for a few weeks I can easily see how so many have applauded the MX Revolution mouse but the keyboard has so many nice features that make general computer work so much easier.
I cannot recommend the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX5500 Revolution keyboard and mouse set highly enough, this is about as perfect a mouse and keyboard as you can get without specifically designing one yourself.
