Customer Reviews

A Comfortable, Compact Mouse with an ON/OFF Button!!
I bought this mouse to replace by generic USB wheel mouse that I was using with my Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop computer, which runs Windows XP Pro. This mouse was a breeze to install. There are two parts, the mouse and the receiver - can't get much simpler than that. Turn off your computer, plug the receiver into a USB port, put the 2-AA batteries in the mouse, turn on the mouse and fire up the computer. Windows XP Pro found the new hardware right away. To "synch up" the mouse, just press the Connect button on the receiver, then press the Connect button on the bottom of the mouse, install the software (CD provided) and off you go.

What I love about this mouse is that is doesn't feel like a tiny, notebook mouse. It is sturdy and has some weight to it. Another great feature is the ON/OFF button (THANK YOU LOGITECH!!) so you don't suck the life out of double A's or rechargeable batteries. Logitech also provides a neoprene soft case for your mouse. I have always used Logitech mice on my desktop and have always been happy with their products.

Great laptop mouse
I purchased this mouse for use with a new Dell 8600 laptop, after months of using a tiny Targus corded mouse with another laptop. What an improvement! This unit is very responsive, has a solid feel to it, fits well in my hand, and when compared to a desktop unit it is smaller in size (convenient for travel) without being annoyingly tiny. It is a highly desirable upgrade over other laptop input devices. As with most Logitech products, it is easy to install, is very accurate, has a quality feel, and allows quick setup for each use. One reviewer wrote that the buttons offer too much resistance, but I have been a huge fan of such tactile feedback since purchasing my first HP calculator back in the early eighties. To each his own! I find the cordless function to be even more beneficial with a laptop mouse than it is on a desktop unit, and the on/off switch is a nice touch to save battery life when the unit is not in use. All in all, I find this to be the best laptop mouse I have used to date. I would give it four and a half stars if possible, since all products can be improved. But since that is not an option, I give it a five as being the current cream of the crop.

Best mouse I've ever owned.
(Revision: after a while, a mechanical problem developed when I didn't fully lift my finger off a mouse click and it thought the click was complete. This lead to many misclicks, inappropriate double-clicks, and other problems. Still a great mouse... you can't avoid problems in one out of a million mice).

This mouse is by far the best accessory I have for my laptop. There are a lot of reviews citing the USB connector as too stiff or sticking out too much, but let me tell you: it is better than the bulky connectors other manufacturers make. Here are my other comments, in list form:

1. The mouse is stylish and solid. With the batteries in it is a nice weight and doesn't feel flimsy.

2. Battery life. I use two rechargeable AA batteries that I have not charged since I bought the mouse about a month ago. The on/off switch on the bottom is a great feature. I had to get used to the concept of turning my mouse off when I wasn't using it, but once I did I realized I was saving battery life with little effort.

3. The cordless receiver and the mouse fit great into the included carrying case; one of the best features of this mouse for people on the run.

4. The range is great. Once you go to a cordless mouse, especially this one, you will never go back to one with a cord.

5. Setup was a snap. I never touched any drivers on any computer. After less than a minute of detection in Windows XP it worked without a hitch. When I connected it to my PowerMac with Mac OS X, it worked within seconds. Truly seamless.

6. Great laptop accessory. I bought a desktop replacement (17" screen) laptop computer because I needed performance, processor power, and graphics precision. It is hard to do graphics with the included touch pad, but as soon as I plug in this mouse, I have an instant mobile desktop. It enhances mobile performance with a smile.

In summary, I haven't bought any other cordless mice to compare because I don't need to. If you get this mouse, you won't regret it.
