4.0 out of 5 stars review of Logitech V320 Cordless Optical Mouse - Black, September 6, 2007

This review is from: Logitech V320 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks - Black (Personal Computers)

First, as far as I can tell, there is no operational difference between this black version of the Logitech V320 wireless mouse and the grotesquely ugly grey and silver version of the Logitech V320. It was worth the price difference for me to have this much more attractive black version. The images of the product shown here on Amazon are *exactly* what it looks like.

I am using this product with Windows XP Pro SP2, without the Logitech driver.

PROS:
* Stylish design and color.
* Very responsive and accurate, which gives you a wide range of actually usable mouse speeds via the Windows Control Panel --> Mouse pointer speed adjustments. If I am doing some digital photo editing, I can slow the mouse down via Windows to give me greater control. When I am browsing the internet, I speed the mouse up to make swift movements across my dual display setup. In fact, the fastest setting in the Mouse Control Panel is almost too fast.
* Fits my hand well. I am a man, but I wear gloves in size small (male) or size medium (female LOL), so the diminutive size is handy not only for travel but it fits my hand much better than the huge desktop mice (such as the Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 1000 which this mouse is replacing).
* Furthermore, the ergonomics are excellent: the curvature on the top feels perfect, the sides are rubberized for easier gripping, and the Teflon pads on the bottom are large and allow the mouse to slide easily across my desktop, and these pads look thick enough to last a long time before wearing out.
* The left and right clicks are sure and smooth. It does NOT require much pressure to click the left or right buttons, and this is important to me to reduce the stress on the tendons of my arm. I can click and click and click and my arm does not grow fatigued.
* The scroll wheel is also reasonably responsive.
* There is an on/off button on the bottom.
* Or you can plug the receiver into the mouse and the mouse will automatically turn off. When you remove the receiver, the mouse automatically turns on again.
* It uses easy-to-find inexpensive AAA batteries. I use alkaline batteries, because a mouse is a very low-drain device, but of course you could use NiMH rechargeable batteries--I use and recommend Sanyo eneloop batteries, since they hold their charge much longer than regular NiMH batteries.

CONS:
* In order to middle-click, you must press down pretty hard on the scroll wheel. I do find this quite aggravating, as I often need that middle-click to open new tabs in Firefox. This is my only complaint about the mouse, as I love everything else about it.

UPDATE: I thought I would add the following information: This mouse does *NOT* turn off automatically after a period of disuse. Yay! I have a Kensington Optical Wireless Mini mouse (model # 72214) that *does* turn off after a few minutes if you do not move or click the mouse, and I find that behavior quite aggravating. Let's face it, modern mice are *very low drain* devices, so it already costs next to nothing to operate them on regular alkaline batteries. I don't need the nuisance, just to save a few pennies a year, of grabbing the mouse and having it not respond until I click a button. Also, a mouse that is rechargeable is going to co$t much more, and comes with the additional bother of being *required* to recharge it periodically.

SECOND EDIT (on June 21, 2008): A fresh pair of alkaline batteries will last about 4 months in this mouse. And, while the mouse is still working, but just before the batteries expire, the little green LED on top of the mouse will very slowly blink on and off as a warning that it is time to change the batteries.

As usual Logitech mouses are great. I think invisible optical mouses are better then laser (own experience). Also used V450 laser for brief time but felt heavy compare to this one which uses 2 AAA batteries compare to 2 AA by V450. I have not seen any performance difference in invisible optical or laser one.

I had bought an older version of this mouse about two years ago...I use a MacBook Pro and had no problems with the previous model, but then one day it started acting up. I dealt with it for a few weeks before contacting Logitech. After going through all of the things that might have been wrong, they sent me a new mouse. Just like that. And I have to say this model, the V320, is even better then my last one. It fits the hand nicely, has side to side scrolling, and as much as I love my Wireless Bluetooth Mighty Mouse, this one is much better. I would never hesitate to buy a Logitech product again, they definitely stand behind their brand. Great mouse, even on a Mac.
