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.

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?

have you contacted Logitech? they have been good with me when i have contacted them.

i have a g7. i love it.
