Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution Review

Both the Revolution mouse and the MX5500 keyboard in the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution connect to your PC via Bluetooth. A Bluetooth adapter is included and wireless range is good for 30 feet. The keyboard is designed for use with Windows Vista, though it will work with other Windows versions. As a Vista keyboard it has shortcut keys for gadgets and Vista specific applications.

The keyboard also features full media control keys and programmable buttons for one key access to websites and applications. The only real drawback to the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution is the keyboards typing feel. The keys are spongy feeling and don’t offer the best tactile feedback.

The Revolution mouse is very accurate at default settings and features the awesome hyperfast scroll wheel that lets you fly through long pages without continually flicking the scroll wheel. The mouse can change from free wheel to click mode for the scroll wheel as needed. The mouse has sensitivity good enough for most users, but for those used to high sensitivity mice it will feel slow. You can accelerate the mouse pointer to make getting around the screen faster, but you give up accuracy. The mouse also features a thumb wheel that scrolls though Vista’s Flip3D.
