It has the smallest RF transmitter, i bought 3 , to my father, my mother and me.
I recommend it!
Digital camera Review: Amazing... best mouse ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this mouse for my laptop because of the small size of the usb receiver. I like it so much that I take it to work and use it on my desktop. I also use in in conference rooms because of its range - it out performs some any other cordless mouse I have used! It is also comfortable to use and the scroll wheel functionality is great. I have recommended it to friends who have purchased it and love it as much as I do.Digital camera Review: Amazingly useful, well-designed device for the geek on the go.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Like many laptop users, I sometimes find that the laptop's built-in pointing device just doesn't cut it. However, tethering yourself to cables seems silly, and the giant USB dongles needed to use wireless devices are generally unwieldy in their own right, and (in my experience at least) are prone to disappearing into that bizarre black hole that also houses the matching socks and ballpoint pens of the world. Until now.
The Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks is quite possibly the best designed portable mouse I've ever worked with. Before looking into the "portable" aspect of that, it's important to note that, as a simple mouse, this device excels. The laser mechanism (if you can call a laser device a mechanism) provides for remarkably crisp control and detail, far exceeding that of any optical mice I have used, and certainly light years beyond old mechanical ball-based mice (remember those?). The device fits comfortably in my hand, and the buttons are well place and intuitive to use. The software which allows you to program your own functionality for the device worked flawlessly under both Windows XP and Mac OSX 10.4 and 10.5.
So far, this sounds like a pretty good mouse, no? But what makes it a truly great mouse for the traveling geek is yet to come. First, the USB dongle. Yes, it is a dongle, not a weird bump on the end of a long USB cable that's going to drag around whenever you move your laptop. But, more and more these days, manufacturers are moving away from that model, and the "memory-stick" sized dongles are becoming more and more common. However, I have always found those vaguely annoying as well, as they require removal when stowing your laptop, and seem determined to stick out far enough that they get bent into odd positions whenever you might need to use your laptop on something other than a flat surface. And, of course, they're imminently losable. The folks at Logitech must have experienced the same frustrations, because they addressed them all with the VX Nano.
The USB dongle is tiny. Bitty. Truly teeny. If you're not careful, you could lose it under a stray nickel sitting on your desk. But, this means that it's actually small enough to leave inserted into the USB port on most laptops, even when stashing it back in your bag. But, say you're not comfortable with this; where, then, are you going to stash this impossibly small transmitter where you won't lose it, and where it won't get banged up?
How about in the mouse itself? That's right. Flip over the mouse, and you'll find a convenient home for the transmitter. It is very easy to stow and retrieve, and worries over losing parts is banished. And, for further protection, Logitech includes a nice little drawstring pouch to slide the mouse into before tossing it into your laptop bag.
Include the ability to actually turn off the mouse (no more randomly and futilely flashing lasers draining your batteries from the depth of your bag) with the rest of the fantastic features, and I can't recommend this device for anyone looking for a portable pointing device.
Digital camera Review: An excellent choice
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this mouse so much that when an older mouse that I used on another computer stopped working, I bought a second one of the same kind. I assume it works well on a desktop, too, but I can't varify that. Also, I have not found a need to customize it.Digital camera Review: Anywhere MX
Summary: 5 Stars
This all new Anywhere MX Logitec mouse has Darkfield Laser Tracking and is the most responsive and comfortable mouse i have ever used and fits right in your palm perfectly. i don't know much about lasers but it is a very impressive little tool. it is well worth the money for me as i have had to undergo wrist surgery and using other mice would only aggravate it. it has some real cool designs as well. it can run off of only one AA battery,even though it has two of them. the USB receiver is as small as a thumb nail and when you need to leave it even slips right in a little spot under the battery cover. the other thing that it does is to make things a lot easier when you have more than one Logitech wireless products as it works like a universal receiver for all of your other USB wireless products. finally it has a zippered cover and will fit in any pocket or bag or lap top case and not take up very much space. if only my old computer was as innovative,reliable and fast i would love to test a new one of those next. 5 stars out of 5 *****!!!
