Is the google checkout discount stackable with the buy.com Visa discount? If so, that's another 30% off... and hotter.

lol I don't even want to know how much money Google is losing with this promotion, especially since Buy.com seems all to happy to show everyone the price after Google Checkout now.

Oh well, if anobody can afford it...

And they've been pricing certain things at $50.01 so you can use the $20 off $50 ..

I don't mind though!

Looks nice. Anyone own one of these? I have always had problems with Wireless Mice because they are "larger" than a corded mouse and I've always been uncomfortable using them. Is this one any better than others in regards to the size of this mouse vs. a standard corded mouse? I have the MX510 corded mouse and absolutely love it.

I bought about 100 of these from Staples a couple months ago for $36 each.

Mad eBay profits :).

I love this mouse, I kept three for myself.

keeleysam: anything worth noting on the quality of the mouse, anything annoying, feature-wise, etc etc? I currently am using an MX700 Wireless Optical, tried the MX1000 but it had all kinds of lag, so went back to the 700... Was thinking about the G7 but the lack of a 'foward' button was disappointing... so yeah, would love to upgrade from my MX700, just want to make sure that Logitech doesn't just drop the ball (it's laser! get it? eh, nm...) on this mouse as well.

I felt one at Staples and it felt good to me. And I'm also one that doesn't like the big mice. I got an Intellimouse Explorer 1 once, hated it, and returned it. Too big. I think the IE 2 was too (and wireless IE 1). The IE 3.0 was smaller and I liked it OK (other than always accidentally pressing the buttons), as was the wireless IE 2.0, which is what i use now. But the MX Revolution seemed to feel even better. One thing I didn't like about Logitech mice in the last couple years is the placement of the thumb buttons, but these seemed OK in the short time I looked at it.
But I'm not sure if that lower thumb rocker would get in the way or not? I just wish M$ and Logitech didn't make the top buttons so easy to press on their better mice, since I always press them on accident. I think that's something they started just a few years ago.

Nice to hear. Thanks for this reply! :)

Anyone rec'd there's yet? I ordered it on 11/28 & rec'd an email saying it shipped via UPS on 12/1. Weird thing is, when I ck the tracking # on UPS, it says that the pkg still has not been rec'd from the shipper...only the electronic billing info has been rec'd. And that's 4 days after buy.com says it shipped???

I have both, the Revolution is much better though so it's well worth the upgrade.
