Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks

Some kind of connection problem

Written by RH from Cary

Mar 22, 2008

I have used my V470 on my Imac and Leopard for about 2 months now and like it. But, the last few days it has disconnected itself every few minutes. I have now turned off my Imac and reconnected it to see if it works now. I like the functions, but this problem must be fixed to be usable. I don't know why this is happening.

I Love This Mouse!

Written by LB from Cheswick

It was pretty easy to set up (once I found the reset button on the bottom). I am using it on an iMac (not a notebook) Love the right click and the roller wheel. This mouse is much nicer than the mighty mouse that came with my computer - a more natural fit to my hand. I highly recommend it!

I can't overstate how much I love this mouse. It feels great to the touch, it's durable and the battery life is great. The bluetooth connection is almost instant and the scroll wheel works perfectly. The right click feature speeds you through many functions. Buy This Product!

BEWARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH LEOPARD

Written by AA from Sugar Land

Feb 13, 2008

I just got a new macbook and bought this mouse to go along with it assuming everything would work well. Logitech usually has great products but this is not compatible with leopard. Just like the other two bad reviews say, it just randomly stops working and has to be reconnected and can even freeze the computer. Now I have to go through the return process or wait until logitech creates an updated driver. Dont buy this if you are running leopard

Great Mouse!

This mouse was not available at the mac store when i purchased my macbook a week ago. After purchasing my computer, i went to fry's to check out what bluetooth mouses were available. I had my eye on a microsoft one until i walked passed this logitech one. The main reason why i chose this mouse was because i purchased a white computer, and this one matched the computer. Once i got home, it was as simple as turning on the mouse and clicking on the bluetooth button on the computer. Thats it. I didnt even have to load the logitech control center program. The laser pointer is very accurate, the scroll wheel allows you to scroll up, down, left and right. Overall, its just a fabulous mouse.

works fine with Leopard, LOVE IT

This is the best purchase I made when I got my macbook pro. It makes working so much faster. The bluetooth is awesome, no using up a usb port. The small size is great for on the go. I turn it off at night, and the original batteries have lasted me from November till February. I also dig that it matches the macbook pro with its silver sides and accents. Everyone with a laptop who uses a wired mouse or the trackpad sees me working with it is jealous.

LOVE IT! (BECAUSE IT DOES WORK WITH LEOPARD!)

This mouse is GREAT egronomically and on the wallet, from function to design the V470 laser mouse is greatly appreciated. I just purchased the V470 a couple weeks ago for my 15"MBP and the Blue Tooth connection is great and it frees up an extra USB port for whatever else i may need it for (unlike some of the other wireless mouses on the market). As far as connectivity, I have had no problems establishing a connection, I can be about six feet away from my MBP and can still point and click. Also setting up my V470 was as easy as turning on my MBP litterally (but that's the way macs are built). If anyone is thinking about getting a wireless mouse may I suggest you get this over Apples Wireless Mighty Mouse (WMM), it is a hundred times more egronomical, clickincg and scorolling is smoth and twice as easy and well if money is a factor it cost alot less than the WMM. Besides the fact that the Logitech V470 in my opinion looks a lot cooler sleeker and more stylized than the WMM. And it works with Leopard to say the least!

Doesn't work with leopard!

I bought this a month ago for my mac book pro. It took an hour to get it to connect, and get everything set up. But since then I have tried EVERYTHING to get it to reconnect but it just can't. This mouse doesn't work. I called Logitech and they said that Mac had changed some key numbers that inhibited it from working! Don't buy this till they fix it, it's not worth the headache! And returning it has been a nightmare!

MACBOOK'S BEST VALUE BLUETOOTH LASER MOUSE

Written by AB

Jan 1, 2008

Consider what I have always wanted in a mouse and why I prefer a Logitech v470 mouse over Apple’s Wireless Mighty Mouse (WMM) for my Macbook:
1. BLUETOOTH WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY- wireless freedom. No messy wires. And no external USB receiver/dongle that takes up one of the USB ports. Both v470 and WMM have bluetooth.
2. LASER TECHNOLOGY -Laser precision technology delivers smoother cursor control on virtually any surface. Both v470 and WMM have laser.
3. TWO-BUTTON MOUSE- I find v470 easier to use compared to the WMM. The right-click in WMM works best when only one finger is in contact with the right part of the mouse.
4. FORM & STYLE- V470’s color is white and matches my macbook perfectly. It fits nicely into even larger hands and has a built in battery indicator near the scroll wheel. The WMM just feels so flat.
5. DURABILITY - V470 has a light and a very solid overall design. Logitech is known for durability.
6. SCROLL WHEEL - The v470 has a wheel that can be rocked from side to side. Scrolling is smooth and accurate. The WMM’s scroll ball usually stops working when dirt gets inside the ball which means you have to clean it regularly.
7. BATTERY INDICATOR - The v470 has a battery indicator light built in the mouse whereas WMM has none. The v470 has a battery life of up to 4 months. There is an on-off switch to conserve the battery
8. EXTRAS - The v470 comes with its own carry pouch to protect it from scratches.
9. BEST VALUE BLUETOOTH LASER MOUSE- I find all the features I want in Logitech’s v470 and is priced at 50 dollars compared to Apple’s WMM priced at 70 dollars.

I'm pleased with it

Written by SR from Tempe

I received the V470 about six weeks ago and have generally been happy with it. The native drivers in 10.4 / 10.5 work well, including the horizontal scroll, so I didn't install the Logitech Control Center pref panel.

I've used it heavily at home and work with no problems. If the mouse is left on with no activity for an extended period (say overnight), then it takes a few seconds of motion to bring back the connection. I would expect this as a battery saving feature. I have had no problem with the bluetooth link dropping or unpairing, and I really like not having to use up a USB port for a separate receiver.

I've been using this blessing for almost two months now with my 15" macbook pro. This wireless mouse is a dream come true for me. It has great design, features, and portability. There isn't much they could do to improve on this product!

I have owned 3 or 4 logitech mice and have always been satisfied with their products... I purchased this mouse about a month ago straight from Logitech and the performance was horrible! the tracking was not smooth and the connection kept getting lost, I literally had to reinstall it every time I turned on my computer... I returned it for a full refund...
