Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks - Blue

Ok, I have used five different wireless mice, and I have to say this one is great. This is my first bluetooth or laser mouse. The bluetooth is nice because of the range. I sometimes use my laptop as a video player since it has hdmi out, and the mouse becomes the remote. <br /> <br />After using a laser you will never go back to optical. Laser is way better and will work on ANY surface. That includes glass, the couch, or even the carpet. <br /> <br />I don't know about the battery life yet, but I have been using it a few hours a day for the last three weeks and I am still on the first pair of AAs, which seems decent to me. It says it even has a warning light for when you should replace them.

Bought this to go with a Bluetooth enabled Dell Mini 9 netbook. Had it working in less than 5 minutes of opening the box (most of that was the Logitech software installation). The netbook recognizes the mouse right away and auto connects to it when I boot up. <br /> <br />The mouse will go into sleep mode if it's not moved for about 10 seconds, but it wakes up and reconnects in less than a second, so no big deal. <br /> <br />Only downside I see is remembering to turn the mouse off when you're finished using it (the on/off button on the bottom is way too small). <br /> <br />BTW, it does work on games (the few I have installed on my netbook at least), however the middle wheel is not recognized as a mappable button (I think there is a freeware app that fixes that, not sure). <br /> <br />Overall, nice product and I'm glad I bought it.

Great Mouse, i purchased mine to replace an Apple Mighty Mouse, which it replaced well. The scroll button is quite tough-feeling, which was my gripe with my previous mouse. Very stylish, and it is the right size. BT makes it very convenient - no dongles or usb receivers to connect. <br /> <br />All in all, 5 out of 5 stars
