Yeah, I know. If you wanna play with it and have no real use for it, though... And its rather buggy. Hit me with PMs in case ppl are interested.

Anyway, seems like my iPhone is one of those where the calibrating doesn't work properly, the upside down position isn't recognized, therefore it doesn't really calibrate. Dunno what that means for the results.
Also it crashes when trying to add a new ride. It does create a new ride, though, and when you restart the app u can edit it.
This doesn't happen on all devices, but BOTH happen on mine
Would never buy it in that state anyway.
I don't have my car here right now, so I can't test it. Gonna try my GFs Golf V on Monday, I guess...

Does it make a vooom voom voom sound or do you have to tape a nokia n95 to it?

Just got a Logitech MX revolution wireless laser mouse

This isn't my picture obviously, it's just from the internet.

It's great, smooth, accurate, got buttons machine-gunned onto it. Its comfortable. And it's wireless!!! Woot!

XeroState · August 3rd, 2008, 10:32 PM

Welcome to the MX club! I love this mouse... lol

I got this mouse for the number of buttons, laser and it's a rechargeable battery not AA or AAA batteries which get expensive.

Ever heard of rechargeable AA/AAA batteries?

XeroState · August 3rd, 2008, 10:41 PM

Not the same. Cost more, lose charge much quicker, etc.

LurkerPatrol · August 3rd, 2008, 10:56 PM

Lol thank you for welcoming me!

I used to have a microsoft wireless mouse (still do actually) but I had to keep replacing the rechargeable batteries. I always had 1 set of 2 batteries on the charger, and 1 in use in the mouse. If I forgot to recharge 1 of them, that's it. I wouldn't be able to use the laptop (trackpad went haywire).

I'm glad I have this now. It's more comfortable than my standard dell mouse for my desktop, and more accurate. I've yet to try it in gaming, but while photoshopping it was great!

CyberMonkey · August 3rd, 2008, 10:56 PM

I like a smaller mouse better, which I can control with the tips of my finger and leave my wrist on the same place on the table. Wired too, as that makes it lighter. I still use my 30-euro logitech MX 300 of five years old.

IceBone · August 3rd, 2008, 11:20 PM

I use the mx revolution that way. You have tiny hands!

How much do those modern wireless mice weigh? I've thinking about buying one, but I'll stick to my wired laser if they are too heavy.

Fuck wireless mice.

My dad borrowed a MX1000 from work and I blew through the batter fairly quick. I woulda had to swap batteries at least once a day if I had gone with the G7 (battery only lasts 8 hours or something).

Wired laser mouse = win.

IceBone · August 4th, 2008, 01:38 AM

Yeah, the mx1000 had a battery problem. Mine surfaced after a few months, though. Couldn't get a replacement mx1000 from the place in time, so i upgraded to a revolution and never looked back.

This one lasts 3 days.

They are a bit heavier than the normal mice, but they're MUCH MUCH more comfortable and smoother. If nothing get a wired ergonomic laser mouse.

I've been using the mouse for a few hours now and it's still at full powah. Ice must be right, it's prolly gonna last a couple days. At least I hope so. I'll definitely turn it off and power it on the charger over night.

Viper007Bond · August 4th, 2008, 03:13 AM

My problem is that I use my mouse for 14-16 hours a day as I'm on the PC working all day. Plus when I do game I don't want even the slightest lag.

The braided cord on the G5 means it doesn't tug on the mouse and the uber high send rate (although that can rape your CPU if you turn it up too high) means the mouse reacts instantly.
