Customer Reviews

The Only Cordless Mouse You Will Ever Need
Logitech's V220 is ergonomically designed and has soft rubber grips on both sides. It uses one AA battery, which is nice, you don't have to scour the planet trying to find the right battery to use. The tilt wheel is large, making it easy to operate. The left and right mouse buttons operate smoothly. There is a battery warning LED which is green if the battery is good and turns red when the battery is low. This is a great feature. Another thing I love about this product is the off/on switch on the bottom of the mouse. If you are going to be typing or reading for a while and won't be needing to use the mouse, you can simply turn it off and save battery life. The receiver slides into the bottom of the mouse and is designed to turn off the mouse when you slide it in and turn on the mouse when you slide it out.

The only complaint I have is the instruction pamphlet could have been a little clearer about which way to install the battery. The diagram shows the stud of the positive end of the battery going first into the mouse but it has a very small (-) sign on the end with a small (+) side on the other end. A quick glance leads you to put the positive end first just by how the drawing looks.

I purchased a bargain store brand cordless mouse that was much smaller, had a tiny tilt wheel with an automatic shut off that allows the battery to run down for several minutes before shutting off. The Logitech V220, for the same price, puts the bargain brands to shame. It's the only cordless notebook mouse you will ever need.

Generally a good mouse - One fatal flaw
I used the V220 mouse in XP, Vista and Linux. All three systems recognized and installed the mouse in a few seconds. The mouse is a slightly small however the contours make it feel very comfortable in your hand. Response was smooth and the buttons and trackball have very nice feel while in use. So you wonder why I only gave it 3 stars. This is the problem. After some use the mouse causes my all of browser windows to scroll to the bottom. As soon as the mouse is over the browser window it immediately goes to the bottom of the page.This happens both in Firefox and Explorer. The only solution I have found is to turn off the mouse for a few seconds.

The software from Logitech is bloated and of little practical value.

No Nano, but not bad
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1PSF1EUBG892A Just playing around with my first ever video review, so please bear with me.

The V220 is a pretty good mouse considering the price tag. It's compact and rugged looking, with rubber pads at the sides for a good grip.

It only needs one AA battery (Note: the diagram is misleading with regard to the way to put in the battery. You should see the + side when you're closing the top)

You can use it for desktops as well as laptops.

There's storage space for the receiver at the bottom, and once you click it into place, the mouse automatically shuts off.

The ridged rubber wheel is the noisy variety, and goes click, click, click, all the way home.

It comes with no software, but gives you a link to the website where you can get a download to make the mouse do tricks. After the download, you can scroll from side to side, click and roll to zoom, and if you give it a shove, it can even roll over and play dead.

It has a warning light to tell you when your battery needs changing.

It doesn't come with a case or pouch, but looks like it can handle going commando just fine.

In summary, it's a good mouse, but not a great mouse - and well worth the price.
