 My First Logitech Disappointment October 6, 2008
Joseph L. Howes (Las Vegas, NV USA)
I have a long history with Logitech products, and the mouse I reverted to after returning the V470 is a Logitech mouse (and I have a whole new appreciation for it).
Here's my experience with the V470:
- The installer took a LONG time (it's a mouse....what's taking so long? A new bluetooth stack?). Logitech product install is usually much faster.
- The installer failed to find the mouse twice, then succeeded on the third attempt. When it finally did acquire the mouse the connection stayed solid.
- The response is terrible and annoying. The mouse sleeps after about two seconds. If you move your hand off the mouse to do something quick (like press ENTER), that's long enough for it to sleep. When you move it after two seconds the cursor jumps around for a second or so before it completely wakes up (this is a common complaint with the V470 if you Google around a bit). For the few hours I used it I would regularly click the wrong link on a web page or start the wrong application in the start menu because of this jumpiness.
- Even when the mouse is awake it feels VERY rough and inaccurate. Selecting text is annoying enough that you notice it every single time. I don't think I could get used to it.
- The decision to return it was locked when I plugged in my old mouse and it was *SO* liquid smooth and totally responsive. If you gently push the V470 across your mouse pad, the cursor's movement is very rough and stuttery. My old mouse (just a Cordless Optical) behaves totally smoothly under very fast or very slow movement.
I had purchased the V470 because I didn't want to deal with the Cordless Optical's dongle, but after this experience I'll be sticking with the old mouse. I don't know if this is a V470 issue or a Bluetooth mouse issue in general, but this was a HUGE disappointment.
 A great little mouse October 4, 2008
John N (Miami, FL)
This mouse fits the hand well and moves smooth and accurately on just about any surface including my bare hairy leg. The tilt wheel and zoom are more usefull then I had expected. This mouse is perfect for my Asus Eee 1000h. The Eee has no removable disk drive so I simply copied the included cd to a USB flash drive using another pc with a drive and ran the setup off the flash drive. Setup was simple. I almost got the MS 5000 but saw some neg reviews so I went with this one. I'm real happy with this mouse.
 Slow, Jumpy.. October 3, 2008
the Late Adopter (San Francisco, CA)
I'm a huge fan of Logitech gadgets, especially mice, but wasn't too happy with this one.
I've been using this mouse on my MacBook Pro, and it gets jumpy at times.
When it does work, it tracks well on my Razer eXactMat.
What I hated most is that takes 4-5 seconds to reconnect from sleep, and often loses connection.
I guess it could be a problem with both the MacBook or the mouse, but pairing them wasn't optimal for me.
Replaced it with a VX Revolution, and I'm happy again!
Will carry the V470 on the road.
Pros:
- No receiver required for bluetooth enabled notebooks
- Sleek exterior
- Small size
Cons:
- Jumpy at times
- Takes long ( 4-5 secs ) to reconnect to MacBook Pro waking from sleep
- Small size - also a con, took a while for me to adjust to it. ( Medium size hands )
- No back button ( Minor con )
Works great out of the box with a Mac Mini October 2, 2008
T. Holtz
I bought this for my wife, who has killed two wired mice pinching the cord under reams of clutter. It could be a tad small for those with bear paws for hands, but it's not one of those stupid mice the size of a Hot Wheels car. Uses two AA batteries.
Turned on the Bluetooth on my wife's Mac Mini, the mouse paired up effortlessly, and hasn't skipped a beat. I didn't bother installing the Logitech software. The tilt wheel scrolls docs/pages side-to-side under OS X 10.5.2, and everything else works as expected. The laser tracking on her desk surface, which confused our other optical mice, is EXCELLENT.
Great Product September 30, 2008
John K. Brown (NC USA)
I ordered this mouse for my boss. It was delivered quickly and the mouse was as advertised. I had some issues getting the bluetooth going on his laptop, but once that was done, the mouse connected and has given no troubles. This mouse has enough range that he can click through presentations from anywhere in the room.
