Logitech Beefs Up Scroll Wheel

How soon until mice have more wheels than you have fingers?

PC peripheral player Logitech has motorized the computer mouse scroll wheel with two new models that ease scanning and scrolling through large computer documents, spreadsheets, pictures, lists and other data.

The Fremont, Calif.-based company said its new mice -- the MX Revolution for desktop PCs and the VX Revolution for notebooks -- would provide comfortable, efficient mouse control. New features include a "One-Touch" search function that allows a Web search of a word or phrase via one click of the mouse, and a second scroll wheel for zooming.

However, the biggest change in the new mice is the heavier, "hyper-fast" scrolling wheel, which Logitech described as "revolutionary."

"By giving people the option of using a free-spinning scroll wheel, Logitech has addressed a source of pain for computer users, who previously had to continuously move their index finger to scroll through long documents," said Logitech Vice President of Marketing for Retail Pointing Devices Ashish Arora.

Is this a bad time to mention that I had to RMA my G7 after less than 2 months?

I hope my MX610 works ok, I saved the box, but the main reason I bought it was because it was a laser mouse. and I came from a ball mouse, so the thing is awesome so far, not to mention it is wireless, which gives it one more plus in my book. so far its an awesome mouse, and I didnt like all the buttons at first (my other mouse had two.) but now I use all 7 of them

My 2 year old MX510 still works great.
