Over the weekend my Logitech VX Revolution mouse arrived.
I’m impressed with the feel of the mouse in my hand, It’s way more comfortable than the ordinary shaped mice I have used in the past.

The scroll wheel feels a little cheap and plastic when scrolling with the ratchet type feel scroll enabled.

Being able to store the dongle into the mouse for safe keeping is a nice little feature, as is the way the mouse switches on when you eject the dongle from within the body of the mouse to start using it.

I haven’t installed the Logitech software I was supplied with the mouse yet as a few people recommended SteerMouse as the best 3rd party application to use.

I’ve installed SteerMouse and have been customizing some of the Logitech buttons to my applications, one of the reasons I installed SteerMouse was to be able to assign specific buttons on the mouse to do different things depending on which application I was using.

So on the whole I am pleased with, and enjoying the combination of VX Revolution and SteerMouse…

APART… from the fact that I only found out after a couple of uninstalls and reinstalls of SteerMouse, that if you have TextExpander installed on your Mac the Application Switching feature does not work.

After raising the issue with SteerMouse Support I received a e-mail confirming that they have been trying to resolve this issue alongside the makers of TextExpander but have yet to come up with a solution.

Hopefully this is a issue that will be sorted in the future, but it’s something I can live with for now.
