Why o why can't anyone make a high end mouse with bluetooth!? I'm dying to ditch my wireless might mouse but only having two USB ports, which both are constantly being used, has kept me using this mouse.

And as those receiver nubs get smaller I get more prone to losing them. Come on Logitech bring me a Bluetooth MX Revolution so I can ditch this "mighty" mouse!

@macpatrick: Because BlueTooth is an energy hog?

I've had the same mouse/KB setup at home and work for the past two years, an S510 keyboard and MX610 mouse. I have to replace the batteries on my mouse maybe every two or three months, and I've replaced the batteries in the keyboards once each that I remember.

Meanwhile, I have a Logitech Cordless Media Board Pro for my HTPC. It's BT because it's meant for use with the PS3. And I have to replace the batteries once a month. The thing even shuts down about 10 minutes after you last used it and then takes a few seconds to "wake up" after it's been "off." My other Logitech products with the proprietary wireless are always on.

@jamesuschrist: What? My old Logitech V270 burns through a pair of Eneloops every 3-4 months of 2-3 hour/day use and I rarely turn it off. My MX600 non-Bluetooth eats 2 AAs in the same amount of time even though I use it for maybe 10 minutes a day.

Using a MX revolution right now. My only complaint is that the rubber band in the middle of the scroll wheel somehow got bigger and started slowing down the free spin. I had to take it off, so now i just handle the meatl wheel.

@MrBlahBlah: I owned the Revolution for about the same amount of time I've had my G5. At first I hated the Revolution, it tracked poorly it was huge, most of the added functions didn't work in games without binding the button to a common key, like "E" and then binding "E" in game to the desired function. This worked but was a PITA.

Well as fate would have it I destroyed my G5 (long story) and was forced to go back to the Revolution.

Somehow it seems to work a billion times better now, tracking on the same surface with great results, most of the added buttons work in games now.

I am worried about the rubber around the wheel. I've seen so many reports of it breaking, and jamming inside the housing, expanding and needing to be removed and so forth. Not too big of a deal thankfully, but one I hope not to deal with.

The Darkfield laser sounds like the villain's super-weapon in some 80's James Bond knockoff.

I've loved Logitech's mice for YEARS.
My original MX Revolution only recently got moved over for a Razer Mamba on my gaming machine, but still rocks on my secondary PC like it was new.

My VX Nano still rocks too!

IF they ever fail at least there are worthy successors available.

By the way kids, Dell's BT travel mouse? -It's all Logitech under the skin.

You you can get a Logitech BT travel mouse as long as you don't mind last year's features dressed in Dell livery! :p

@strider_mt2k: I've got an MX Revolution on my work computer and just replaced the POS at home with an MX 1100. The one thing that drives me batty about Logitech mice is the thumbwheel. Pressing on the thumbwheel is soft and mushy and indistinct. And it should come configured to default to middle button, but it doesn't.

On my revolution, pressing it used to switch between scroll by line and uber-spin (which is kind of cool), so having it configured to also act as middle button is kind of a PITA. Now, that functionality seems to be busted anyway, so it kinda works. At least they figured it out with the 1100 and made the little button below the thumbwheel the "switch between spin modes" button.

@strider_mt2k: They just came out with the sexy m555b BT travel mouse, which is what's on my short list for replacing my 4 year old MX270 once it goes. Which will probably be a long time considering how many times it's met with a fall onto tile.

I still don't know why they don't have a 1100 with BT.
