Logitech MX Revolution Rechargeable Laser Mouse

$34.99 + $5.00 shipping

If you can judge a historical period by the importance of its revolutions, we’re in trouble. Used to be that “revolution” was a word reserved for massive, sweeping changes in economic life (the Agricultural Revolution), or in political and social organization (the American Revolution), or in scientific understanding (the Copernican Revolution). Then along came the marketing industry – the marketing revolution, you might say – to devalue the word by attaching it to any hunk of crap that they wanted to seem “edgy”. The 18th century had the French Revolution; we have the Dance Dance Revolution.

One prime example of revolution deflation is the Logitech MX Revolution Rechargeable Laser Mouse. It won’t change the way you conceive of the cosmos, or put the workers in control of the means of production. All it’ll do is make your mousing experience smoother and easier, with a frictionless alloy scroll wheel, a dedicated search button, a thumb wheel, a plug-and-play USB wireless transmitter, and all kinds of programmable and adjustable options. You won’t even need to keep feeding it double-As on accounta it runs off a rechargeable Li-Ion battery.

Is the Logitech MX Revolution Rechargeable Laser Mouse a pretty cool mouse? Yes. Revolutionary? No. But at least you won’t have to worry about it rising up and sending you to the guillotine.
