Good little mouse

Written by SJ from timmins

Nov 2, 2009

Bought this mouse for my macbook pro a few months ago because of the poor rating recieved for the mighty mouse. Not much to say about it, its a standard mouse that works flawlessly, it connects without effort, good battery life, just an overall solid mouse.

Great Mouse When It Connects Correctly

Written by JD from Columbus

Oct 22, 2009

This is mouse is the best cordless mouse I've had overall. The cordless and adapterless feature makes it quite ideal in all situations. It fits well in my hand and has a great feel to it. The only stipulation I have with it is that about 15% of the time I go to connect my mouse, something happens with the connectivity and my MacPro completely freezes requiring me to reboot unconventionally. This gets quite annoying when I have a good amount of work open (which I usually do) and lose it all because I have to suddenly reboot my computer.

Overall a great mouse but the connectivity issues I've had has made this a bittersweet love for this product.

Was great until Snow Leopard :(

Written by JA from Marionville

Oct 22, 2009

I've had this mouse since I bought my white Macbook two years ago. I've never had a problem with it not connecting until I installed Snow Leopard. Now it drops all the time.

The mouse itself fits perfectly in my hand, long life depending on batteries used, and buttons/scroll wheel very nicely done. Tracking is also good for general use and games.

As for the problems now, I can't explain why it has decided to do this. Anyway, it gives me an excuse to buy the new Magic mouse. :)

I gave the mouse 5 stars for being great until Snow Leopard.

Poor Connectivity

Written by SK from POTTSTOWN

Oct 8, 2009

I agree with most reviewers concerning the connectivity issues. Out of the box this product worked fine. On the third day is when I began experiencing problems. When the MacBook goes into sleep mode Minny Mouse has problems reconnecting. I am not going to alter my power settings or waste battery life for the sake of one USB port. I'm going back to USB.

A vast improvement on the Mighty Mouse

Written by GR from NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE

Sep 2, 2009

I've had my Mighty Mouse replaced FOUR TIMES under AppleCare due to the woefully-designed scroll wheel getting gunked up and failing. So I finally admitted defeat and put my hand in my pocket for one of these. What a joy to have a scroll wheel that actually WORKS. As others have noted, forget the Logitech software - the V470 pairs with Bluetooth Macs right out of the box, with scrolling and both buttons supported natively in OSX. Highly recommended, and not just for notebooks - it's large enough, and its ergonomics sound enough, to be used all day with your desktop. I'm using mine with my iMac, and I'll my last Mighty Mouse is permanently consigned to the trash.

This mouse is unusable for any detail work

Written by ND from Innishannon

Sep 1, 2009

Granted it connected no problem but it is completely useless as the accuracy of how it tracks is so poor and VERY frustrating. I bought this on a trip to the US so can not return it so I will be dumping it. What a waste of 50 bucks !!!!

Mouse OK without Logitech software

Written by JS from Mount morris

Jul 25, 2009

This mouse is OK without the Logitech Control Center installed. Otherwise with their software I had frequent problems when rebooting computer. The mouse connection was always lost. Sometimes I had to connect a USB mouse just to reestablish the connection. Unfortunately without the Control center the mouse tracking is a bit erratic
and you loose the horizontal scroll function although I learned holding shift key allows wheel to horizontal scroll so it was no big deal. This mouse is a little too small for my liking but its better then the Mighty Mouse which just is too ergonomically incorrect for me. All in all I am not that impressed with Bluetooth for a mouse connection but it will do.

Can be jumpy when idle

Written by MM from Kirkland

Jul 24, 2009

I have had this mouse for almost a year now. The batteries have been fine, nothing out of the ordinary. I think mine have lasted about 4-6 months with normal use.

This mouse if not for you if you intend to use it for intricate use. I use for advanced editing on iMovie and it's not responsive enough for accurate use. There's a delay in response with normal use and then when it's idle and you move the mouse slightly, it jumps around the screen (as other users have commented).

I have had no connections issues at all. Scrolling works just fine and it's a great mouse if you want to use this mouse for general use but not at an "accurate" level.

Build quality is great and it feels solid. It might be too small for you if you have large hands. It is a notebook mouse after all.

Poor Connectivity- 1 Month Later Stop Working

Written by LR from Chicago

Jul 22, 2009

I purchased this mouse because of the previous mostly positive reviews for use with my MPB 17", one word "useless", the mouse lost connectivity even when it was a inch away from the laptop, and then it would connect, disconnect, and so on. Eventually about a month later, it simply stop working. The light indicated that it works with the battery installed, but no connection to a Mac or PC whatsoever, waste of money!

junk

Written by RW from KEAAU

Jul 3, 2009

from the beginning have had trouble with this mouse -- for some reason the computer cannot "recognize" this mouse.

Now have a cordless usb mouse which does the same thing -- no wires -- but is recognized instantaneously, has only one battery (the bluetooth has two that last only a month or so), and has worked faultlessly.

It is also less than half the price of a blue tooth device.

Guess blue tooth has some growing up to do, or perhaps Logitech and Apple don't see eye to eye on blue tooth

Great Mouse!

Written by RG from Homestead

Jul 2, 2009

Very little bluetooth lag that I have seen with many other blue tooth mouses. Great build quality that you expect from a logitech mouse. Very easy setup. Very happy with this mouse and I like it alot better then the apple mighty mouse that I was using prior to this mouse.

Works almost all the time.

Written by MC from Oakville

May 23, 2009

The V470 is a great notebook mouse that has many great and unique features. Particularly, I find a great use for the side-to-side (left/right) scrolling feature, which is really useful on my 13" MacBook.

Otherwise, there may be some connectivity issues, that will require you to remove the mouse from the list of Bluetooth devices on your computer, and re-search for it.

Excellent Mouse

Written by RS from Dallas

May 17, 2009

Although i love the MacBook's trackpad, i am very use to having my right hand off to the side when using a mouse. This is the most comfortable position for me and i have always used a mouse. This mouse is a great product. The bluetooth technology has not faulted once and it is easy to take along with you. The bluetooth also allows for minimum bulkiness on your computer because there are no usb connectors hanging off. I am still on the original batteries i put into the mouse. I bought this along with my MacBook almost a year ago and i have been very satisfied with this mouse's performance. Excellent product.

Comfortable, responsive, accurate

Written by MS from Fullerton

May 10, 2009

This is a fantastic mouse. I bought this when I returned my Razer Pro|Click notebook mouse, which was horribly unresponsive and inaccurate. I can say that this Logitech is my favorite mouse that I've used so far. It's a bit bigger than most notebook mice, giving it a great feel in your hand. The accuracy that the laser offers is fantastic and it's also quite responsive.

The only negative is the slight delay in pointer movement when using it again after it goes into it's standby mode after a period of non-use. It takes the pointer a minute to start moving on screen, but this only happens when you haven't used it and never during actual usage. This is the only thing keeping it from a 5 star rating.

I would highly recommend this mouse.

Best Mouse With Blue Tooth Available

Written by EN from Darnestown

May 8, 2009

I gave the mighty mouse a try for 3 days and I hated it! It was uncomfortable to hold and the squeeze function was not easy to get to and didn't work some times. But this mouse is very comfortable in your hand and it responds to each click. Also its side scroll feature works very well. I support the purchase of the product 100%!

If you like headaches, this mouse is for you!

Written by NK from Denver

May 5, 2009

The mouse worked great for a few month + a little more. Then just quit. I tried musical batteries, with the little blue light flashing here and there to give me a sliver of hope. Nothing.

I also tried the application, folder, utilities, ......blah blah blah...disk utility...blah blah..hard-drive.....last blah...repair disk permissions.

Nothing. No go.

Ultimately it quit working after a few months.

Good mousing.
