Digital camera reviews of Logitech V220 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks (Dark Silver)
Digital camera Review: A satisfactory piece of equipment, simple to use
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Nothing is more frustrating than a piece of computer equipment that you can't get to work properly. Fortunately, that is not a problem with this well-designed, compact mouse. Within 2 minutes of taking it out of the package, I had it up and running. There were no files to install, no software to bother with. I just inserted the battery, plugged the USB key into my laptop and the mouse was working.
The motion on the mouse is okay. Not quite as smooth or precise as on some of the mouses (mice?) I've used, but satisfactory. It's small and easy to transport, but is large enough so that it doesn't feel awkward in my hand. It lacks a carrying case, which is a disadvantage if you're going to transport it very often, but the low price helps offset that.
All in all, a satisfactory piece of equipment at a reasonable price.
Digital camera Review: A superb little mouse in every respect
Summary: 5 Stars
My ten year old Mac "inverted hubcap" G4 desktop computer has been in the shop off-and-on for two months trying to get the accursed Safari 4 so-called "upgrade" removed. Meanwhile, I bought a great little like-new wireless Mac G4 ibook (running OSX 10.5) off Amazon for $208 to keep me going. I've used track pads for years and am OK with them, but I prefer a mouse. I have always had good luck with Logitech products so I bought a refurbished, guaranteed, VX220 mouse from a Verizon vender for only $9. It came in a plastic bag, along with a spare USB accessory cable, and no instructions. Slipping the little USB receiver unit out of its slot on the bottom of the mouse reveals a little switch marked "off/on," a reset button marked "reset," and a press button with a battery symbol printed on it. Everything was self evident. I pressed the battery cover release button firmly and the cover released, revealing a small battery compartment marked "AA" and a + sign at one end. After inserting an AA battery, snapping the cover back in place, and inserting the tiny receiver into a USB slot on the notebook, the mouse was fully functional. Interestingly, the notebook trackpad was also still functional. I could use either one, as I chose.
Some have said the mouse is a bit too small, but I find it a perfect size, better than the larger clunky mouse of my ailing desktop Mac. The wheel is comfortably large and scrolls with precision up and down and side to side. The clicker has just the right amount of resistance. I have yet to find a surface or color the sensor doesn't like, including skin and glass. The USB mouse receiver has a little dog-leg slot that, when the receiver is re-inserted in place on the bottom of the mouse, engages the little on/off switch and automatically switches off the power, saving battery life. Logitech says the battery should last upward of six months. I use rechargeable NiMH batteries so battery power isn't an issue, but I always switch it off anyway out of habit. Some have complained that the VX220 receiver has only about a 4-foot range. If you need to type while using the mouse, and your arms are more than four feet long, this could be an issue. In that case the mouse USB receiver could be plugged into one end of the USB accessory cable and the other cable end plugged into the notebook, giving you greater range. My mouse has never been too far from the computer to work. It functions out to 6 feet, measured, further away than I can use the laptop monitor.
In summary, the little mouse is extremely well thought out ergonomically and easy to use. I have absolutely no complaints so far. I might even buy another another one for my big Mac when I get it back.
Digital camera Review: Absolute best cordless mouse I've ever owned!
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the years I have used at least 4 or 5 different types of cordless mouses for laptops and I can honestly say that the Logitech V220 is the best of the lot, far superior to similar products from Microsoft. It has an on/off switch which surprisingly is lacking on some other models(personally i don't like using the USB receiver to turn my mouse off). Since I can easily turn off the mouse I get extremely long battery life out of the V220. Even more impressive to me is the fact that this little mouse functions on many more surfaces/textures than other mice I have used. I've strayed a couple times but always find myself coming back to this mouse. The one i have is two years old and still going strong under heavy use. My only wish is that someday Logitech releases a lower profile version.Digital camera Review: After 9+ months of abuse, still good as new!

I needed a new cordless optical mouse at the end of 2009. I wanted something small, because I have small hands, so a netbook or laptop mouse was just the thing. I had qualms about buying it without getting to hold it in my hand, but once I got the mouse, they were quickly eased. This mouse plugs into a USB port and has survived being dropped on a wooden floor I don't know how many times; I've lost count. The battery cover comes off, but seldom does the battery itself do the same. On two particularly bad drops, the scroll wheel became non-functional. It turned out it had just been knocked partly to one side and popped easily back into place and continues to work as new. There is an on/off button on the bottom of the mouse, which can help stretch out the life of the single AA battery it uses, and if you're going to be away from the computer for an undetermined amount of time, it just takes a moment to turn the mouse off so what you're working on isn't disturbed. There is also a small button on the bottom that you can press to open the mouse to change the battery. The scroll wheel feels like you're rolling over bumps, but I like the textural sensation compared to that of smooth feeling wheels. It's obviously a matter of personal choice as to what you prefer. When I use my laptop in the living room, I don't even use a mousepad as it works fine on the arm of my recliner. The only things I don't like about it are that it can accumulate dirt in the on/off switch slot, but a safety pin or small screwdriver removes any 'gunk' easily. The sides are textured to be slightly tacky for a secure grip, which means they need an occasional cleaning. These are extremely minor issues for me. I would recommend this and buy this model again if I needed another mouse.Digital camera Review: Almost perfect, good for the price

Well, these days the USB piece can be way smaller, enoght to keep it while you put the notebook in a case.
On this, Logitech V220 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks , the USB piece is a little bigger, actually I think easy to break accidentally, and you have to take it out before putting in a case.
The place that you are suppose to keep the USB while not using is kind of strange, you don't hide inside the mouse, I have seen better, on a very similar product, same brand.
If you are going to pay a small price, keep it, I pay like 15 US.
