Cool stuff: Your 2006 holiday gift guide

28.11.2006

Like many Logitech mice, this one feels great in your hand. But the single best feature of the VX Revolution is its overall size. It's a small desktop mouse or a large travel mouse. That makes it the ideal size for people who want to use this mouse all the time. Surprisingly, the small size doesn't hurt the ergonomic feel. It's a little ingenious in that regard.

We could find no downsides at all to the VX Revolution ($55-$75). Logitech has perfected the dual-laser genre.

Honorable mention: If you're looking for full-desktop-size wireless mouse with fewer bells and whistles, Logitech's MX 610 is a good choice. It feels great in your hand, has five buttons, comes in a left-handed version, and costs less ($45-$60). Just don't expect all the software notification LEDs to work.
