ya I used to have logitech mouse when i used windows and played tf2. they lasted a good amount of time and weren't that bad. i use a magic mouse now because i like the scrolling in osx, replacing the batteries all the time sucks tho.

yeah the middle button on mine stopped working and the serial number on the bottom rubbed off so i cant get a replacement :smith:

i took it apart to see if there was maybe something that got inside and was blocking the button but it seemed fine to me

The new MX Master is pro as poo poo. No zillion button gamer mouse bullshit, just a nice well built mouse with features I'll actually use and no LEDs or other dumb crap.

oh cool they brought back the auto clutch. I will need to try the thumb wheel to see if its good enough to replace my mx revolutions.

That specific thing (SmartShift) is why I bought this thing. It's the new MX Rev with updated everything.

...Outside of the hilariously bad forward/back buttons. They are every bit as badly placed IRL as they look in photos. Maybe worse. I can't believe anyone thought that was a good design.

the terrible back/forward button placement is called innovation.

I always thought the MX Rev thumbwheel was weirdly positioned and I didn't like the clicky detent on it and as a result I never used it. The new wheel works a lot better for me and I now actually use the thing. The Fwd/Back buttons are still a disaster but the rest of the mouse is boss.

I use the revolutions side wheel in video games and the 3 actions + position make it nice to use. I don't use it outside video games tho.
