I have a Logitech Revolution MX that is about 20 months old. I love it, but the battery no longer holds a charge. It is probably the most comfortable mouse I have ever used.
One of my two complaints is that when I play a game, my thumb buttons can only used for a single press and not a hold. For example, if I wanted to use my thumb button as a VOIP button in a game, I can't. The reason is because it presses it and lets it go, as opposed to it holding it down as long as I hold the button.
The other complaint is that I can't replace the battery when it dies. Paying $75 is a lot for a mouse that won't allow you to change the batteries.
Oh and two other minor complaints: The thumb wheel can't be re-mapped, unless you want to lose the cool Vista flip 3D screen. The other small one is that the receiver needs to be within a foot or two or it seems to get a poor signal.
Maybe someone can explain how to get the mouse to transmit a hold and not a press.
Anyways, does anyone have any recommendations for a wireless mouse to replace this. If I can get the button issue fixed, I'd consider getting another Revolution MX.
I was thinking a G7, but it appears it only has 1 thumb button.

Re: Recommend me a wireless mouse
If it's the most comfortable mouse you've ever used then it seems like a no-brainer to me. Does the mouse have a battery pack? If it does have your tried Googling the part number? I imagine there are hundreds of sites out there that sell a knockoff version of the battery.
To map the keys do you have Logitech's Setpoint software installed?

The battery is sealed in the mouse.
Yes, I do, but I can't figure out why it only does the button press and not a button hold. If someone knows, I'd appreciate the directions.
I know the mouse isn't a "gaming mouse" at 800dpi, but it does fine. Of course they could always improve the dpi....

I have an older Logitech with a rechargeable battery that you can remove, that's what I assumed they were all like. Have you tried opening up the mouse to see if there is a way to remove it?
