MX1000 or MX Revolution

Kintarō Hattori

Hey Guys,

I've had my MX1000 for just over a year but it gave up the ghost earlier in the week. I have the choice now of replacing it with another MX1000 or the MX Revolution. I've used the Revolution for a bit and I think it just doesn't feel as comfortable as the MX1000. Does the Revolution just take some time in getting used to it?
I've asked a few people who've used both and they reckon it's far superior but I don't quite know. I found the MX1000 while heavier to move generally more comfortable. Even my missus who wouldn't care generally what kind of a mouse she was using once she had one voiced a negative opinion against the Revolution.

So which have you used and which do you prefer?

The MX1000 is an alright mouse my bro had one, I had the MX510 for a while but the wiring got damaged inside it and would start and stop working randomly. The mouse I use now is the Razor copperhead and its the best mouse I have used so far. It has 2000dpi which can be adjusted by a side button to increase and decrease dpi depending on what you are doing. I would highly recommend it.

Hmnn I'm familiar with the Copperhead as it's me who orders them in for work! I dunno though if it's what I really want. I like the ease of a cordless mouse, I'm just not sure I'd like a Razer.

what will you be using the mouse for? why would you want to get the revolution, it is incredibly expensive.

Kintarō Hattori

General use really, browsing the web, the occasional FPS such as CoD2 and Half-Life 2, browsing boards etc!
I paid full price for the MX1000 when it I got it almost a year ago and so to 'upgrade' to the Revoluton only cost me a little more.

o right is it still under warrenty?

Kintarō Hattori

It is indeed, just about.

Sure if you dont like teh revolution stick with teh mx 1000, Do you like the scrollwheel on the revolution?

Kintarō Hattori

At this moment time not really, it's far to sensitive in the 'super' mode and in the normal mode it's far too 'clunky' feeling. It doesn't seem too much of a Revolution to me, but that's just my opinion.
I'm a little disappointed actually as every major mouse since the MX700 has been a pretty sizeable improvement, but I just don't really see any with this.
