Comment SmartShift technology on the MX Revolution (Score 1) 246
I was a little dismayed to see in TFA that SmartShift's "absence in more recent mice leads us to believe that consumers weren't too thrilled with it". I love the SmartShift on my MX Revolution, it's the best feature of the mouse by far and I really hope Logitech aren't dumping it for good.
In my job I'm always being sent huge source code files or CSV data that I need to quickly scroll through, and being able to give the scroll wheel a quick flick so that it switches to freewheel mode and zooms down the file has been invaluable. I wouldn't want another mouse without it. If Logitech dump SmartShift I'll probably have to subsist on second hand MX Revolutions on eBay for as long as I can....
I can't stand the application specific profiles though, I want my scroll wheel to operate consistently in every application, but for some reason even if I delete the profiles they reappear after a reboot.
