The consensus of reviewers is that the Logitech MX Revolution laser cordless mouse is revolutionary, or more accurately, evolutionary. Almost all say it is currently the best general-purpose mouse, though it's more expensive than others. The MX Revolution is for right-handed use only.

The Logitech MX Revolution has been around long enough to earn a near-bulletproof reputation as a top choice among mice, and is a consistent best pick in older reviews, some newer reviews and in user reports. Very credible reviews can be found at OCIA.net and SharkyExtreme.com. The review at ExtremeTech.com is a little older, but still helpful overall. EverythingUSB.com's review lacks comparisons or a rating, but is otherwise solid. You can find hundreds of user opinions at Amazon.com in varying degrees of detail.
