Logitech V220 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks - mouse

...I chose the Logitech V220 cordless optical mouse, which I am more than happy with.

The mouse requires just one AA battery and has a small USB stick which plugs into the computer and sends a wireless signal to the mouse itself. The USB stick looks similar to that of flash memory.

For laptop and notebook users, using a built-in touchpad can be quite a frustrating experience. Especially when the sensitivity of the pad causes you to unwillingly click on dodgy adverts or make mistakes. It is for this reason that I decided to buy myself a mouse for my notebook. I chose the Logitech V220 cordless optical mouse, which I am more than happy with.

The range in which the mouse operates really depends on how much battery life you have. Personally, I am using Duracell batteries and I can control my notebook computer from about half way across my living room which, as you can imagine, is great for watching movies from a distance or using the mouse as a remote control to play music.

This is a very satisfying and useful little piece of technology which makes using laptops and notebooks so much easier and without the presence of wires getting in the way. I bought the mouse, with the USB stick, but no batteries, for approximately £10 though it does range up to £30 depending on where you buy it from.
