Logitech VX Revolution

I bought this back in February because it was on sale at NewEgg. Before getting it, I was against wireless mice because of the hassle of charging (or replacing) the batteries. Now that I've used it for almost a year, I think it's the best notebook mouse out there.

Pros: There's no signal interference at all. It works right when it's dongle is plugged in. Logitech claims that it will work from 30 ft away. I tried it from this distance and sure enough, it still worked perfectly. It feel comfortable to hold... a little larger than most notebook mice. It's equipped with lots of buttons that can be assigned custom keystrokes. The scroll wheel is multi-directional and the vertical scrolling speed can be adjusted for gaming purposes. The laser tracking is extremely precise.

Cons: The only con to this device is the battery. It does last a long time... 2-3 months, but the problem is the battery drains without usage. If you let it sit for 3 months, even though it's turned off, it still depletes the power. The workaround is the remove the battery each time. I just with this model was rechargeable. That would make it perfect. The older brother, the MX Revolution desktop version of the mouse is rechargeable.
