    i'm quite addicted to this mouse... it's comfortable... it' works nicely... the only major drawback is the lack of a nano receiver.

    i've tried different mouse out there.. but it's not so comfortable... especially in my case.

    i've been told that i am beginning to show early signs of carpal tunnel syndrome in my right wrist... numb and tingling sensation from elbow down to fingers (index, middle, ring) and always feeling like i got a lump in my wrist that i just want to pop...

    anywhoo, aside from surgery... they said to limit my uses on the computer and also to wear some wrist brace when it gets bad... which has not in a while.

    now i feel my mouse is aging and so i walked over to local staples and best buys... it seems that they are not available any longer...

    i check and it is a model that is being discontinued...

    should i buy one off the web?
    being that this is the one mouse that i can use for a while?

    i do have a MX Revolution but it is not a mouse i'd take in my travels...

    thoughts?

    thanks!

    The VX Revolution can indeed work with a nano receiver. I am running this exact setup. Search this forum for how to that I posted a while back. Will cost you extra $10-15 for added nano receiver. There are different versions, so you must purchase the right one based on VX you have. Again, see my original thread on this.

    No, I am not in NYC. If you are worried about price, make me an offer. I can consider it. Maybe we can work something out. PM me if interested. Thanks.
