Hi,

Just bought this mouse today and the side wheel seems to be overly sensitive. With the thumb resting in that area, it's all too easy to brush past it in either direction and bring up the Document Flip window especially brushing it forward. I don't need to move the wheel all the way...all it takes is a slight nudge and it pops up.

Is this normal? What's it like with your Revolutions?

Thanks in advance.

I use uberoptions and thus have remapped my thumbwheel to fwd/back skip (click to play/pause) so don't really have the same problem with document flip. You'll get used to it.

Have it mapped to multiple keystrokes now but left the entries empty so it does nothing for now so I can finally hold the mouse naturally. Will give that uberoptions a try and hopefully get middle click working with Firefox!

I haven’t had a problem with the thumb wheel.

I can’t stand the mouse in general though. Previously I had a Logitech MX518 which was an awesome mouse, but the MX Revolution is just weird.

Its either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, and I constantly click in the wrong place now as it doesn’t seem to go where it should. Especially with small movements.

Do know what you mean with the last few comments there but will give it more time and hopefullly I will get used to it.

Just concerned that no matter what I'll map the thumb wheel to, it will be overly sensitive and I may return it and just go for the MX518.
