great cool mouse

Advantages: looks good, very wireless
Disadvantages: none

...This mouse from Logitech is great not only for PCs and laptops but also for Macs as its white colour and cool shape looks quite like the current cool Mac mouse's. However its cheaper than buying a replacement Mac mouse and also its got three buttons as opposed to only having two like Mac mouse's have. It a very small shaped mouse however it fits nicely into your hands and its really easy to move about too. Its surface is kind of a nice shiny almost ...
...new no matter how old it is. It connects via 1.2 wireless Bluetooth technology and it can go quite a range away without losing signal. In fact it can be used up to 30 feet away from your pc Mac or laptop which could indicate a good mouse to control a home theatre pc in a living room. The only downside with most wireless mouse's is that they need to be recharged and sometimes just last hours. This one however is powered by a pair of AA batteries ...

Review of Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Bluetooth - mouse

My Pet Mouse

Advantages: Quality. Sleek. Durable. Responsive
Disadvantages: Range Is A BIt Short.

...too flashy, not too tacky. Microsoft slapped their logo across the back of the mouse and I expect that this will wear away soon, but it's not big or ugly at all. The mouse is approved by a professional ergonomist, Hugh McLoone of Microsoft and if you want you can download ‘Intellipoint’ from www.microsoft.com/hardware. This allows you to just point and press to enlarge and edit image details. The mouse can also be purchased as part of the keyboard ...
...Anything else? Well there is a connect button underneath the mouse to let the receiver know it’s ready to use. I got mine from Staples because I had a discount voucher to use there and so far I think it was a good buy. As I said, the worst thing would be if the batteries ran out quickly, but the box does say 6+ months, and being Microsoft, they should at least know how to build a quality mouse. There would be something seriously wrong if they couldn’t. ...

Review of Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2000 - mouse

Good for travelling but not the best feeling mouse by a long way

Advantages: Compact, accuracte tracking, long range
Disadvantages: Buttons harder to click than usual - can lead to strain

This is a good mouse, but I have found it to have some drawbacks too. Here are the main features: Nano-receiver: This is excellent. It is stored easily inside the mouse when you need to move it around and is very small on the computer too. The range is also very impressive. Battery-life: This is average to good for a cordless mouse and runs off 2xAA batteries. They can be expected to last at least 6 months on average use. Laserpointer: Very good ...
...as good as even a mid-range corded mouse. Buttons: Not as good as I had thought. The 2 main left and right buttons are just a little bit harder to press than my microsoft mouse, and after a few thousand clicks this starts to be noticeable and strain. The middle mouse button, likewise, is a bit hard to click. There are no buttons on the sides of the mouse, but the middle button does have left and right functions. In short: definitely the best cordless ...

Review of Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks - mouse

Highly disappointed

Advantages: Excellent feel, Excellent useability, charge indicator, ergonomic design
Disadvantages: Drivers, buttons wear out quickly

...customer care, reading on forums. Logitech expect you to download and install 60MB of software - for a mouse. Batteries are now loosing charge, but it takes only a short charging time. Overall an excellent mouse, if only it worked. Not what I'd expect from a high-end mouse. Finally, I've had enough and chucked it in the drawer. ...

kensington track ball mouse

Advantages: just so easy to uise
Disadvantages: take a litle getting used to

I have been using a track ball mouse for a number of years now i think it must be at least five.Find it very easy to use for working on my projects hobby restoration of old photos. For this type of work you need a good deal of control if you are to make a decent job restoring the photos, using photoshop i blow my image up to very large size then work at 1 or 2 pixels to get the effect that i am looking for with out the control of this track ball ...
...i know there are pen pads around i have one but cannot get on with it. Doing my other computer work is so easy just a little bit of finger movement will put the mouse where i need it. i also play games with it not the all singing danceing games that need a control pad of there own but the games that came with the laptop, again great for getting around the screen I have had no reason to contact the manufacturere, there is hardly any need to read ...
