Customer Review: Logitech MX 1100 vs. MX Revolution
Summary: 4 Stars

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This review is a comparison between the MX Revolution and this newly released MX 1100. Both are usually near the same price range. The biggest factor to keep in mind, though, is that the MX Revolution uses internal rechargeable batteries and the MX1100 takes two AA batteries.

I am pretty picky when it comes to clicking noise. The MX Revolution's right click noise is MUCH quieter; however, the clicking on the MX 1100 is much more distinct. When clicking the scroll wheel left/right, you can actually hear the click on this mouse.

I have to say the MX Revolution looks much sexier, like some kind of alien aircraft, and the added wheel on the side is just unique; but the wheel can also become really useful to quickly switch between windows on your taskbar.

However, the MX1100 also has a special new feature of its own: the "Stealth" button. It's located where you would normally rest your thumb, so it is actually hidden. Most people will use the mouse without knowing it is actually a button if they're not told about it.

The MX Revolution doesn't have a "Stealth" button, but the thumb scroll wheel on the side can actually be pressed as an additional button - and it's more responsive - so it's not really a major gain on MX1100's part.

Even though I can hear the click when I press the Stealth button LIGHTLY, it will NOT actually trigger it. It actually requires some pressure, which may be better for some people, but I prefer if I can just quickly tap it and for it to respond. After all, this mouse is focused about comfort, right?

The size of the receiver for MX1100/MX Revolution are exactly the same. I have not had any reception problems with either of them; then again, I have the receiver really nearby, since it is connected to the keyboard USB hub.

It's VERY subtle, but the right/left click area for the MX1100 is slightly concave, so the fingers can rest there; whereas, with the Revolution, the surface is, undoubtedly, completely rounded smooth.

OVERVIEW COMPARISON
MX 1100:
- Better grip and feel, but also fatter.
- Distinctive clicking noise (even for left/right scroll)
- "Stealth" hidden button where you rest your thumb
- Smoother, improved scroll wheel
- Weighs approx 7 oz (with two AA batteries)
- Two modes (+ and -) to switch between DPI (speed response of the mouse) or use it as zoom/whatever option you choose.
- Uses AA batteries
- Below the scroll wheel lets you toggle between normal scrolling/hyper (free-spin) scroll.

MX Revolution:
- Slender/sleek look
- Weighs approx 6 oz
- Right clicking noise is on the much quieter side compared to any other mice that I've used.
- Thumb Scroll Wheel on the side (it does not actually scroll like a regular scroll, but it moves forward/back to toggle windows/etc and you can press it down as an extra button as well)
- Uses internal rechargeable batteries
- Pushing down on the scroll wheel toggles between regular/hyper scroll.
- SmartShift feature (automatically switches to regular scroll on short documents/page and hyper for long pages without manually pressing the regular/hyperscroll switch yourself - this feature is not available with MX1100)

Both mice have forward/back buttons, but I think they're both a little higher up than I would want. I also own the Logitech G9 "gaming mouse", but I like using it for normal browsing, editing, etc, since the forward/back buttons are close to the thumb rest and the right/left click is completely flat; you may want to look into it if you want more precision, more DPI modes, and something a little smaller (also comes with two different grips) -- however, the G9 is a wired mouse.

I own many Logitech mice because they are simply one of the best and no comparison to other brands. Once you get used to the hyper (free-spin) scroll (I know it was awkward for me at first), there's seriously no going back to the regular, standard old scrolling techniques.

If you want to customize all the buttons for something that Logitech's Setpoint software wouldn't allow, you can try installing a third-party software called uberOptions. It supports both mice.

Overall, most people will find the MX 1100 to be more ergonomically comfortable. However, I still love the look of the MX Revolution a lot better and the unique thumb wheel, so it's not something I would replace unless the rechargeable batteries on the MX Revolution die on me. The MX Revolution is definitely not for everyone, but the MX1100 is something that most people will be satisfied with -- unless you're left handed/or prefer a smaller mouse. This mouse is definitely a nice addition to Logitech's already impressive line of mice. Logitech definitely took comfort as their main focus for this mouse.

When I have more time, I'll try to update the review more or upload a video of the mouse.
