Digital camera reviews of Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse (Blue)
Digital camera Review: A great mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
I've only had this mouse for a little over a month but I really like it so far. The bluetooth connection is great and I haven't run out of battery yet (and at the beginning I kept accidently leaving it on all night) so I think the battery life is pretty good. The only thing is that in photoshop I don't know if it's the mouse or my computer, but the scroll bar is kind of behind. That's really my only complaint.Digital camera Review: A great mouse!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great little mouse. It is comfortable to use, and the bluetooth connects quickly and reliably to my ASUS Eee 1000HE. Cursor movement is smooth and the construction quality is good. I have not noticed excessive lag upon the mouse waking from inactivity, as some other reviewers have suggested. The on/off switch is a handy feature to maximize battery life, though I am also happy to report that the mouse won't drain your batteries overnight in case you forget to switch it off.Digital camera Review: A perfect compliment for the MacBook
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't read user's manuals. As far as I'm concerned, if I have to spend time reading a manual then the product has not been designed well. Apple has prided itself on designing products that "just work". You don't have to know how. You don't even have to care!
This is not an Apple product, of course, but Logitech also prides itself on designing easy to use, easy to set-up products. And this bluetooth mouse is a perfect example!
Packaging (5 seconds) - Hard to open packaging is one of my pet peeves. When I took the package out of the Amazon box, I thought "Oh, no. I'm going to have to get the utility knife to get this thing open." But, Logitech had perforated the plastic so all I had to do was gently pull the package apart! Great job, Logitech!
Setup (30 seconds) - I installed the batteries, powered up my MacBook into OSX 10.5 Leopard, turned the switch on the bottom of the mouse to on, pushed the "connect" button, selected the device in the Mac bluetooth manager, and voila! The mouse was up and running perfectly. 30 seconds max! Then I shut down my MacBook, restarted in Windows Vista, and did the same thing. 30 second set-up max!
Aesthetics and Portability - This thing looks great and feels great in my hand! It is just the right size for a laptop mouse. It fits perfectly into my InCase 13" MacBook case along with the Apple power supply. Just switch it off and stow it for long battery life.
Using it (a pleasure) - This mouse works great! What more can I say? It glides easily over almost any surface. The tracking is precise and smooth. Contrary to some reviews, it only take a split second to wake from "sleep", which saves TONS of battery power. The buttons and scroll wheel are well placed and accessible. The rubber feel provides a wonderful grip.
Summary - For Mac users: Buy it! For PC users: Buy it!
Digital camera Review: A poor replacement for the V270
Summary: 1 Stars
After my old V270 broke after only 2 months, Logitech forced me to eat one of these new V470s because it no longer makes a V270. The V570 is much smaller and lighter so it feels a bit flimsy and difficult to hold with average sized hands.Digital camera Review: AAAARGH!!!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
While this mouse is great when it works, the bluetooth connectivity is flaky at best. I need for it to work every time I boot the computer up, but it doesn't, and that's not acceptable, especially not when I was using it with a desk top system, and would have to go find a wired mouse to access the bluetooth manager. It's now paired with my laptop, but still making crazy. By the time I've tried to reconnect the mouse 50 times, I'm ready to put a fork in my eye! Also, I've only had it 3 months, and already the filmy stuff that lines the lower half of the mouse is peeling off. Do yourself a favor, and buy wired. It may be a old-fashioned, but at least you know it will work every time.
