the wheel is the same as in the revolution, except for the automatic mode switching. it does not have the thumb wheel but i didn’t needed that anyway. the mx 1000 was ok, but suffered the exact same problem after a shorttime. It still had warranty so i got an mx 1000 as a replacement because the revolution was no longer available. it either did not click at all or make doubleclicks when i just pressed it once. but after 2 years the left mouse button failed.

the automatic switching between free running and regular mode was the best feature. My story started with the good old MX revolution. Indeed, the quality has suffered a lot at logitech. Posted in Peripherals Hacks, Repair Hacks Tagged logitech, mouse, repair, scroll wheel Post navigation So thanks, for opening up your mouse with the camera running. And we love peering inside machines with cool mechanisms. Simply pushing it back down seems to fix it, at least for a while. The cam can work its way up, where it misses a stop and over-rotates, leaving the scroll wheel in a half-detent, half-spinning no-man’s-land. It must also have some logic inside that detects how quickly the scroller is spun because it re-engages as soon as the scroll wheel stops. And to do this, it’s actually got a little motor inside that rotates a cam and throws a lever into the side of the scroll wheel for the detent mode, and pulls the lever out of the way for free spins. The weighted scroll wheel switches between two different modes, one with a detent like you’re probably used to, and one where the wheel is allowed to spin freely for long-distance travel. Check out his video below to watch it in action. And as a bonus, we get a guided tour of the interesting mechanism. So what did he do? Took it apart and fixed it, naturally. Perhaps too elaborate it broke on him after a week of use, just when he was getting used to the feature. Loves his Logitech MX Master mouse, which has a pretty elaborate scroll-wheel mechanism.
