Is the VX Revolution Mouse Really Small?

OK,

I know this type of thread has been posted many times. So I apologize in advance. I am looking for a good, reliable, comfortable wireless mouse for my MacBook Pro (bluetooth or dongle is fine -- except none of those big dongles).

BUT, I don't want a dinky small notebook type of mouse. I would like a desktop size mouse, or at least close to it.

I have a Microsoft Notebook 5000 Bluetooth, but it is just too small for my everyday use ( http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3312438&CatId=2391)

I was thinking the MX Revolution, but I have heard problems on Mac with it.

So then I got to thinking about the VX Revolution. It looked perfect, but I can't gauge it's size very well. I think it is bigger than the Microsoft Notebook 5000, but I am not 100% sure.

Any advice here? Or if there is a better mouse for me than the VX Revolution, I am definitely open to suggestions.

Thanks.

 

I think the VX Rev is slightly bigger than the MS mouse you mentioned, but I'm not sure. However, if the MS mouse was really small for you, a desktop mouse sounds like a better fit.

The MX Rev works well on a Mac if you get SteerMouse: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/steermouse.html

Here's a site I found that talks about it with a MX Rev: http://leihu.com/journal/archive/id_413.html

 

I personally own both. I upgraded to the logitech after holding onto one at a friend's house. The logitech is way more ergonomic and comfortable in the hand without being too big a la the MX revolution. I'll say that the VX is medium in terms of size, but fits well into the portable class.

 

I just ordered the MX Revolution. I figured if I am going to use it for desktop purposes, then get a desktop mouse.

Also, I don't need extra functionality -- so I hope to be able to use it right out of the box with my MacBook Pro. I wanted ergonomic though.

 

if you can deal with a smaller mouse, get the vx nano. the receiver is ridiculously tiny.
