 The Only Cordless Mouse You Will Ever Need September 28, 2007

Logitech's V220 is ergonomically designed and has soft rubber grips on both sides. It uses one AA battery, which is nice, you don't have to scour the planet trying to find the right battery to use. The tilt wheel is large, making it easy to operate. The left and right mouse buttons operate smoothly. There is a battery warning LED which is green if the battery is good and turns red when the battery is low. This is a great feature. Another thing I love about this product is the off/on switch on the bottom of the mouse. If you are going to be typing or reading for a while and won't be needing to use the mouse, you can simply turn it off and save battery life. The receiver slides into the bottom of the mouse and is designed to turn off the mouse when you slide it in and turn on the mouse when you slide it out.
The only complaint I have is the instruction pamphlet could have been a little clearer about which way to install the battery. The diagram shows the stud of the positive end of the battery going first into the mouse but it has a very small (-) sign on the end with a small (+) side on the other end. A quick glance leads you to put the positive end first just by how the drawing looks.
I purchased a bargain store brand cordless mouse that was much smaller, had a tiny tilt wheel with an automatic shut off that allows the battery to run down for several minutes before shutting off. The Logitech V220, for the same price, puts the bargain brands to shame. It's the only cordless notebook mouse you will ever need.
Comparable to Microsoft 4000. Well-built and improved over older models. October 15, 2007

I use my Thinkpad laptop quite a lot, so a reliable wireless mouse that's both low-maintenance and comfortable is very important to me. I have used an older model of Logitech wireless notebook mouse before and frankly I was not too impressed. Compared the said older model with my Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000, which has been my mouse of choice for almost a year now, the older Logitech model came up short on a few design considerations. First, the general feel of key presses: Microsoft mouse buttons are very responsive and be clearly depressed with a comfortable amount of pressure; the older Logitech on the other hand felt ambiguous at times - user doesn't know for sure if a button has been depressed. Secondly, the USB RF connector on the Logitech is always loose when reattached to the mouse when not in use, resulting in pre-mature power-drain. Luckily, LogitechV220 has been re-vamped to address just these issues. Now I use my trustworthy Microsoft 4000 and the Logitech V220 almost interchably and not even noticing the difference a lot of the times. And I believe that's a good thing, a well-built mouse should be unobtrusive and becomes almost a natural extension of the computing environment - something that's so natural users don't even realize its presence. In this regard, Logitech V220 has done a tremendous job to up their previous effort.
So much better than I expected! September 24, 2007

I'd never used a cordless mouse for a notebook before but I got a chance to try this one out at a friend's house. It had so many features that I didn't expect in a mouse from this price range. The ergonomic design was genuinely comfortable, the battery life was extremely long and there is a warning indicator when the battery is about to die. It can be easily moved from place to place as needed. Overall, this was everything I'd hoped for - and more!
Update: Months later, I am still loving this mouse. It took a long time for the battery to need replacing and I felt the loss for the day it took to buy a new battery . It is a delight to use, operates quickly and easily when it comes to scrolling up and down pages, etc.
Great little mouse! September 25, 2007

Logitech has made scome great mice over the year, and this one is no exception. Its a nice little travel mouse, with basic features, a cool detachable receiver, and great battery life.
Features:
-2 buttons
-scroll wheel with some sort of "tilt" feature that I didn't use
-cool little snap on USB receiver (you don't have to dig around in your bag for the plug anymore!)
-Battery life is listed as "up to 6 months of battery life", and in my experience logitech lives up to its claims in this area.
The mouse uses only 1AA battery! This is great for a couple of reasons: AA batteries are the ones you're most likely to have around, you can find one easily, and you can use rechargeables if you want to, but you don't have to use some proprietary charge base. It's the best of both worlds.
For a lot of people, any extra bells and whistles aren't necessary. This mouse is great at what it is, and most of the laptop users out there aren't going to need any more features that the ones n this mouse. If you do want some extra buttons, check out Logitechs other "V" models, there's probably one for you.
Convenient, compact and comfortable October 15, 2007

This little mouse is perfect for using on laptops. I keep mine right next to my living room chair where I use my computer. If my thumb starts getting tired, I switch to this device and roll the mouse on the arm of my chair where the sensor has the same tracking response as on a smooth surface.
The ergonomic grooves on the sides of the mouse are rubber coated which makes them easy to rest your fingers in. My thumb feels better when it relaxes in this groove. There are also some smoothed out depressions on the click buttons. These features make it more comfortable to use.
The shape and size really work for me. I thought it would be too small but in fact I find it more comfortable than a regular mouse. Somehow being able to fit your whole hand over it makes it more comfy.
The mini-receiver slides into place on the bottom of the mouse and sits securely. I have dropped the mouse several times when the receiver was on the mouse and it stayed on. And the mouse worked after being dropped several times so it seems fairly durable.
This is a handy little gadget--I say try it!
