Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks

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.

Excellent Mouse

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.

Best Mouse With Blue Tooth Available

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%!

Excellent once you Repair Disk Permissions

Written by PM from CHICAGO

This mouse is one of the best I've ever used but it took a little work to get it there. If you are having any problems with the mouse skipping, jumping, freezing up, losing connection, etc, it's a simple fix: Go to your Applications folder>Utilites>Disk Utility. When it opens, select your Hard Drive from the list on the left and click "Repair Disk Permissions". Voila! Mouse will work like a dream.

so happy with this mouse!

This mouse was very easy to set up and I was thrilled that it had a right mouse button! As a recent convert from the PC, I had a lot of trouble with the standard apple mouse. This one just made my life easier.

Good Mouse

I've been using this mouse quite a bit and I love it. It's not a full size mouse but it fits comfortably in my hand. It's very responsive and it works like a bluetooth mouse should. It was between the mighty mouse and this, I'm very happy with this purchase and it saved me 20 bucks.

Works great

Written by KG from New Britain

Bluetooth is great on my Macbook, didn't want more cords on my desktop, so this was brilliant. Took 30 seconds to setup and I was off. It does appear to have an energy saving feature if you forget to turn it off manually like I do - mouse has been running for two weeks with me "forgetting" to turn it off, and it is still going. Nice and small, great accessory for any Mac!

Excellent

Written by CK from Johnston

Purchased for my MacBook. Much better than the apple mouse. If you want a bluetooth mouse, but this one.

Smaller footprint compared to the standard Apple mouse, but heavier and feels more solid. Contoured to fit your hand very well. Nice 'click' with minimal travel (unlike the mighty mouse) so 'click and drag' is very smooth. Works on a wider variety of surfaces than the Apple mouse.

Installation was idiot-proof.

I'm going to buy another one for my iMac.

No Regrets!

Written by EP from Kendall Park

I just purchased this mouse. I read a lot of reviews before considering this purchase. It was a good investment & I don't regret it. Plus, if there are any problems..there is a three year warranty with this product. I'm using it right now! The only bad thing is that this mouse is a little pricey, but for a cordless laser mouse...it's worth the purchase!

Great Bluetooth Laser Mouse

Written by KC from Kuala Lumpur

Jun 17, 2008

I bought V470 on 2nd May. Already a month, it works perfectly with my macbook. It doesn't need a USB reciever/adapter to connect the mouse. It has NO problem with the scroll, at least better than wireless mighty mouse cos my friend bought one and after 2 weeks its scroll ball started have difficulty scrolling and she sent to service center. She has waited for a week to get her wireless mighty mouse. I really doubt the quality of the wireless mighty mouse. Moreover it has only one year warranty unless you buy applecare, but the V470 has 3 years warranty. and it is cheap...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Love it!!!

Before buying it I was a little leery because of some of the reviews indicating that the connection would be lost. I have not had this problem. I have had this mouse for about 2 months now and I have yet to experience any issues with it. I travel with it all the time and it never lets me down.
This is a great product and also less expensive than the apple mighty mouse. I highly recommend this mouse and it is a great alternative to the mighty mouse if you are looking to tighten those purse strings.

Feels Great, works better.

Written by JB from Bremerton

As apposed to the mighty mouse I tried, this mouse "just works". Flip the on switch and push the connect button and your synced. From there on you can just turn the mouse on and off for storage. Your mac will detect when it's on and start using it. Shoot, if you leave your mouse turned on then boot your computer up, it'll detect it and start using it then too.

It feels great in my hands (I have large hands) and the balance/weight is just right with the batteries in it. It felt a little chinsy when I took it out of it's package, but with the batteries in it feels great.

The scroll wheel, is smooth with a little tactile "bumping" feedback when you move the wheel. And the left/right action works great too.

My ONLY con would be that it has a .5 second reaction delay if you havn't moved the mouse for 15 or so seconds.

But I've been using this for FPS games and it works flawlessly. No mouse jumps and no weird glitches. It Just works.

THIS is a REAL Mouse!

Written by JM from West Chester

I cannot believe how easy and powerful this mouse is for my Apple MacBook Pro. The Bluetooth travels further than most and the flexibility is exactly what I am looking for. Although I love MAC in all of its incarnations, Apple would do well to concentrate on what makes the Logitech Mouse soar compared to the wimpy Apple counterpart.

Lovein' it, Logitech. Keep up the mojo!

Awesome Mouse

Written by JY from Macungie

Apr 26, 2008

Iv had this mouse for about a month now, and it works great with my new macbook. I got this mouse after reading some reviews about the mighty mouse and how the right click didnt always work, i was afraid maybe id be missing out on some more apple innovation, but iv never had a better mouse. the connection stays solid all the time and hasnt failed me yet, the buttons are light and responsive, and the scroll wheel works great with the side to side scrolling. the design is nice and compact yet not so small you feel like nothings under your hand. other pluses are it matches my white macbook and came with a carrying case if i ever need to travel with it.

I previously owned a logitech vx revolution laser mouse and decided to purchase this mouse. I needed the extra usb port so i went bought this mouse from an online retailer ($15), deal i couldn't pass. I've owned this mouse for a little over a month and I have yet run into any difficulties. I wish logitech would offer this mouse in black.
