Why the hell doesn't my Revolution have this!?]]>Jul 23rd 2007 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/

The other reason is that although Bluetooth is low power, it's still overkill for things such as this. It also adds a licensing fee to the device that you are going to pay for one way or another.

This little receiver is right on the money; Logitech will sell these things by the truckload.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/

I'd love one of these for my new squirrel-powered nutbook!]]>Jul 23rd 2007 6:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 7:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/
My biggest complaint about the VX is that the receiver is too damn big and taking it in/out is a pain in the ass... It won't fit in my notebook case while in... this looks very nice...

As for 6 months with the AAA batteries... I say BS... For the power-power-power user (aka uses it all the time, like I do) I hope it just has the same lifetime as my VX (about 3 weeks on a AA)]]>Jul 23rd 2007 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Regardless of efficiency, though, I recommend everyone to use rechargeables. Seriously, ten dollars down will last a lifetime.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/
Also remember that they say "up to" 6 months, meaning that's the longest they expect it to last, not the average.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/
It probably helps if you use decent batteries in them.]]>Aug 24th 2007 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/
The thing cost enough as it was.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 7:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/
My notebook has a single USB port slightly separated from the other two that would make this an ideal solution for me.
I'd just leave the thing attached full time.

I'll wait for a couple reviews, but this looks really cool and I think I want one.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 24th 2007 6:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/:(

Oh well.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/But from the picture and the video, the nano version has two less buttons? I use the zoom slide fairly frequently, so I'd stick with the regular version.
The nano dongle is really nice though. I wonder if that works with regular VX.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/
Dunno about 6months of usage, but then again I've used the thing for ~3months of traveling and it's still at 2 bars.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/
Sucks that Logitech never remade the best mouse IMHO they ever made, MX310.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/
BTW, does anyone else not like the hyper-fast scroll wheels? I prefer the clicky wheels myself.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/
This is like the MX Revolution, and not like the old VX where you had to move a lever on the bottom of the mouse]]>Jul 24th 2007 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/
It does look a little like a gas tank, doesn't it?

Hey, so does my MX1000 from the side! -COOL!]]>Jul 23rd 2007 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/Jul 23rd 2007 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/

otherwise it looks like a great mouse. but that might be a deal-killer for me.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/

They didn't get where they are by completely ignoring ergonomics - for righties!

That receiver is exactly what I've been looking for since the day I received my first laptop from work. Something you don't have to remove when you put your laptop back in the bag. Perfect.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/logitechs-vx-nano-the-vx-revolutions-little-brother/
Kensington used to be my favorites, but their quality has dropped dramatically in the past two or three years.

Logitech makes really nice, high-quality pointing devices, but they outright LIE on their packaging ("supports OS X" my ass! Only the basic functions, no assignable buttons? Screw you!) and they make little or no effort to connect with the OS X or Linux users.

Nope, so far the best mouse I've ever owned was the Standard Wireless Optical Mouse by Microsoft. Simple, nice feel, and strong wireless connection. Works great in any OS. The only caveat is that it's a simple three-button mouse, and I wouldn't mind having five buttons sometimes... And the five-button solutions from Microsoft don't have nearly as nice a scroll wheel, general feel, or button response as the SWOM.

I've got large hands so most notebook mice are too small, but I did get on with the VX rev.

Anyone else going to miss the zoom slider on the VX Rev? I know most people didn't find much use for it, but when I am photoshopping and dreamweaving on the road it was brilliant.]]>Aug 30th 2007 8:43AM
