Mouse OK without Logitech software

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

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.

Only one complaint

I've been working with the V470 Bluetooth Mouse for a couple of days now and have had a chance to notice one thing that could use improvement. Whenever you don't use the mouse for awhile and it goes into "idle" mode it takes awhile for the pointer to respond to movement once you use the mouse again. This is a bit annoying because for the first second or two the pointer is jittery and doesn't move smoothly across the screen. It wouldn't be such a problem if it didn't do it so often. Seriously, every time I don't use the mouse for a few seconds it acts this way. Logitech needs to correct this issue if they want to contend with the Mighty Mouse. The Mighty Mouse never did this.
