I have a Logitech MX Revolution mouse. it's a wonderful mouse and I love it.

How long have you had it?
I love those. or rather, I loved those. They're great until the LMB goes haywire and starts double-clicking instead of single clicking. The first one did that after 6 months. I figured I just got a defective one. The second one lasted maybe 8 months. I figured maybe I was just unlucky. The third one lasted about 8 months. I decided never again.
Each one of them did the exact same thing as I mentioned above - the LMB begins double-clicking instead of single clicking. You can find many reports of that by Googling it.

I never was really happy with it for 3D work, since a lot of programs use the scroll wheel as a MMB. For as complex and "advanced" as that mouse is, you couldn't make it do something simple like have the scroll wheel act as a middle mouse button. I found a hacked driver that allowed for that, but it caused other problems.

So I also had my $15.00 Microsoft optical mouse plugged in for when I needed a MMB.

That "simple" Microsoft 2-button optical mouse with the normal and "simple" scroll wheel has kept going along, day after day, and has watched $300.00+ worth of Logitech technology come and go and die unceremoniously in the trash can. I now have three Microsoft Optical  mousies, for $45.00 from NewEgg, one for each computer I have, and I will never be suckered into any "advanced" mouse by Logitech again.
