I too am using an MX Rev. I've finally started to prefer it over the MX Perf. My only issue is that the extra buttons are temperamental in games. I sometimes have to launch LogiOptions in the background before they'll function.
Also binding shift+left click to a side button works as a single click. No way to make it register a persistent left click. I think this may be an issue with all mice though.
Thumbwheel is still as useless as ever. I've tried to like it, but it's just easier to drag the horizontal scroll bar.
Call them and see if you can blag a new one under tech support. Tell them its just stopped functioning and you know its the receiver because you tried it on someone else's and it was fine. I've no time for companies taking the mick like that when they often replace very expensive things for free without proof the fault is theirs. MS used to send me a new mouse / kb as long as I gave them the serial number on the unit.
I've ordered some microswitches to replace the busted left click on the MX Revolution. The actual clip within the plastic chamber had snapped. Sadly when I took it apart I have lost the screws from the lower shell but cannot seem to find what size they are.
Hopefully I can fix the mouse according to Youtube.
Also it was interesting one of my MX1000 had been playing up. The 3 LED's were staying on with no activity to the mouse. It also ended up scrolling downwards magically on its own. Replaced the battery and all is fine. Interesting to see how long they last between charges since these are 2000mAh. 12 months warranty on the batteries.
Did anyone ever suffer the matt grippy sides wearing off over time? It was a clear rubber coating. Tempted to paint it matt black so the only glossy part is the battery level. Maybe get rid of the silver altogether.
Still have a brand new MX1000 and MX Revolution boxed up. There is a MX1100 somewhere as well. It was quite chunky. The carbon MX1000 I cannot get over is from 2005, part of the keyboard combo 3100.
For some reason it's uncomfortable for me to hold, I can 'feel' it in my wrist/arm.
