5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Cordless Mouse You Will Ever Need September 28, 2007

By L. Maynard VINE™ VOICE

Color Name:Dark Silver|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

Logitech's V220 is ergonomically designed and has soft rubber grips on both sides. It uses one AA battery, which is nice, you don't have to scour the planet trying to find the right battery to use. The tilt wheel is large, making it easy to operate. The left and right mouse buttons operate smoothly. There is a battery warning LED which is green if the battery is good and turns red when the battery is low. This is a great feature. Another thing I love about this product is the off/on switch on the bottom of the mouse. If you are going to be typing or reading for a while and won't be needing to use the mouse, you can simply turn it off and save battery life. The receiver slides into the bottom of the mouse and is designed to turn off the mouse when you slide it in and turn on the mouse when you slide it out.

The only complaint I have is the instruction pamphlet could have been a little clearer about which way to install the battery. The diagram shows the stud of the positive end of the battery going first into the mouse but it has a very small (-) sign on the end with a small (+) side on the other end. A quick glance leads you to put the positive end first just by how the drawing looks.

I purchased a bargain store brand cordless mouse that was much smaller, had a tiny tilt wheel with an automatic shut off that allows the battery to run down for several minutes before shutting off. The Logitech V220, for the same price, puts the bargain brands to shame. It's the only cordless notebook mouse you will ever need.

4.0 out of 5 stars No Nano, but not bad October 8, 2007

By Amanda Richards HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Color Name:Dark Silver|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

Length: 0:27 Mins

Just playing around with my first ever video review, so please bear with me.

The V220 is a pretty good mouse considering the price tag. It's compact and rugged looking, with rubber pads at the sides for a good grip.

It only needs one AA battery (Note: the diagram is misleading with regard to the way to put in the battery. You should see the + side when you're closing the top)

You can use it for desktops as well as laptops.

There's storage space for the receiver at the bottom, and once you click it into place, the mouse automatically shuts off.

The ridged rubber wheel is the noisy variety, and goes click, click, click, all the way home.

It comes with no software, but gives you a link to the website where you can get a download to make the mouse do tricks. After the download, you can scroll from side to side, click and roll to zoom, and if you give it a shove, it can even roll over and play dead.

It has a warning light to tell you when your battery needs changing.

It doesn't come with a case or pouch, but looks like it can handle going commando just fine.

In summary, it's a good mouse, but not a great mouse - and well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comparable to Microsoft 4000. Well-built and improved over older models. October 15, 2007

By almosthappy VINE™ VOICE

Color Name:Dark Silver|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)

I use my Thinkpad laptop quite a lot, so a reliable wireless mouse that's both low-maintenance and comfortable is very important to me. I have used an older model of Logitech wireless notebook mouse before and frankly I was not too impressed. Compared the said older model with my Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000, which has been my mouse of choice for almost a year now, the older Logitech model came up short on a few design considerations. First, the general feel of key presses: Microsoft mouse buttons are very responsive and be clearly depressed with a comfortable amount of pressure; the older Logitech on the other hand felt ambiguous at times - user doesn't know for sure if a button has been depressed. Secondly, the USB RF connector on the Logitech is always loose when reattached to the mouse when not in use, resulting in pre-mature power-drain. Luckily, LogitechV220 has been re-vamped to address just these issues. Now I use my trustworthy Microsoft 4000 and the Logitech V220 almost interchably and not even noticing the difference a lot of the times. And I believe that's a good thing, a well-built mouse should be unobtrusive and becomes almost a natural extension of the computing environment - something that's so natural users don't even realize its presence. In this regard, Logitech V220 has done a tremendous job to up their previous effort.
