Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks
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.

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.

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.

LOVE IT! (BECAUSE IT DOES WORK WITH LEOPARD!)
Written by RR from Manhattan Beach

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!

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!

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!

Great Mouse!
Written by DK from san diego

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.

GREAT PRODUCT! DONT BUY IT AT APPLE STORE
Written by HN from Chandler
Mar 29, 2008
amazing product. no usb hanging from laptop anymore, all wireless and bluetooth. works with all versions of windows from boot camp, even 64 bit. you can also set the middle button for cascading windows in vista which is cool. I also use it for expose in mac. great connection, good product. BUT very expensive in apple store, try buy.com, which is 15 dollars after rebate, which is 50 dollars cheaper.

Excellent
Written by CK from Johnston
Jul 19, 2008
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.20 of 21 people found this useful

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
