Re-connection after Sleep mode is terrible! [Posted on 2008-07-14]
This is the first mouse I've tried other than Microsoft mice (I owned about 7 of them) and I am almost totally disappointed with it. BT connection was easy with Vista. The feel of the mouse was fine but to me the clicks are a little too loud, since I use the mouse in a class environment, I like it quiter but it's not a dealbreaker. However, I read reviews about re-connecting after inactivity for 10 secs, well in my case it only took 5 secs for the mouse to go in sleep mode and it requires a fraction of a second to wake up. I am used to RF mice and to me 5 secs seemed too annoying, especially if you move your mouse quickly for it to wake up, you'll notice the jump, everytime! Couldn't stand it. I only have 3 USB ports on XPS 1530 so I tried to avoid RF transmitters but I might need to. I am not sure if it's a flaw of Logitech or the BT technology requires that jump (any comments?). Thanks to Amazon for easily returning the unit!
Love it [Posted on 2008-07-14]
I love this mouse and am pleased that I chose this one. It is the right size and I can acually use it right on my laptop. It is comfortable to use and I love the way a Laser mouse works conpared to a optical.
Excellent mouse [Posted on 2008-07-14]
I had no trouble hooking this item up. Once bluetooth was enabled my MacBook picked it right up. I get smooth movement on the screen, no delays or jumps. It's easy on battery power. Definitely recommended.
More cons than pros [Posted on 2008-07-17]
I bought this bluetooth mouse to use with my new Sony Vaio laptop which has the integrated bluetooth connectivity. The mouse looks nice in style and feels good in hand. Connection to the laptop via bluetooth directly was made quite easily. However, the movement of the pointer seems to lag significantly and not so smoothly, as compared to other regular wireless mouses I have used. I have tried to do some parameter adjustments in the logitech software, but it just doesn't work as well as I would expect for the normal use of mouse after all. In fact, the performance was so poor and beyone my tolerence. To me, the performance should not be sacrificed for the convenience of easy connection (i.e. direct bluetooth connection with no need for a wireless adapter). I am wondering if the poor performance may be related to the limitation of bluetooth connectivity for such application, especially when you have turned on the 2.4GHz wireless internet connection (according to my laptop, they may have inteference between each other). But I also tried to use the mouse with 2.4Ghz wireless turned off, the performance was not really improved much. I had to return this mouse to Amazon.com. I still love all logitech products, and I bought a VX Nano as the replacement.
A great Investment for my Macbook. [Posted on 2008-07-17]
I originally purchased a cheap $20 mouse from amazon, which worked fairly well until it broke on me less than a year later. So this time I decided to invest a little more money and purchase a mouse with higher quality. This mouse is perfect for my white MacBook due to its sleek looks, glossy white cover, and bluetooth capability. Some reviewers have said that this mouse is too small--but I find it perfect for my small to medium hands. Not too small at all. Set up is a breeze. You simply go to the bluetooth setting on your mac, go to discover device, click mouse, and voila~ it's done--it's simple as that.
This also comes with a set of Duracell batteries (not cheap generic ones) which is a great added feature. No messy wires, no cheap "plasticky" feel and perfect size at a decent price. I actually found one for a little over $40 on ebay (sorry amazon). I'd highly recommend this mouse for anyone who's looking for the perfect mouse for their mac notebook. I believe it works just as well with other laptops, but this is absolutely perfect for macs. I'm glad I decided to invest $20 more dollars for a better quality mouse.
