Logitech MX Revolution auto-switch to free-spin

[mrochester]

Hi all

Is the MX Revolution really the only Logitech mouse that can auto-switch to free-spin mode when you spin the scroll wheel fast enough? I use this feaute an awful lot, and having taken delivery of a Performance MX today, I have found that it completely lacks this ability, and instead has a button on the mouse itself to engage and disengage the free spinning scroll wheel (which is completely unsuitable for me). Looking at the Logitech website, it appears all their mice with a free spinning scroll wheel now have this same button instead of software control to auto-switch.

Is this really the case? It seems like going backwards to me and leaves me with no choice but to buy another MX Revolution before they completely vanish!

Thanks

Michael.

Confirmed - the MX Revolution really is the only desktop mouse from Logitech that has this 'SmartShift' feature. I am truely amazed! The Performance MX is going straight back as this is a feature I simply can't live without, and I am stocking up on 2 MX Revolutions before they vanish forever.
