Gadgets: Logitech MX Revolution

I saw the MX Revolution reviewed on Engadget (the review) and, being the geek that I am, had to buy it the day it went up on Logitech's website. The innovative part is the scroll wheel. It's a heavy alloy ridged wheel that can either spin freely on its axis or move one click at a time. The software autmatically decides which depending on what you're doing, but you can also switch modes by clicking the wheel.

The other nice feature, especially for multitabling or other multitasking, is the second scroll wheel on the side. Clicking on that brings up a list of open windows that you can scroll up and down to switch to. It's a lot better than using Alt-Tab or trying to find your windows on the task bar. Unfortunately, it seems to slow down a bit if I have several tables up and PokerTracker running at the same time, but my computer is a little out of whack at the moment anyway.

By the way, Engadget also has a nice dissection of the mouse posted.
