Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse

The Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse has a scroll panel instead of a wheel, so you can scroll from side to side or up and down just by sliding a finger. We like that the USB RF receiver stows inside the mouse when not in use and that customization...

Has a four-way touch-sensitive scroll panel instead of a wheel. Works wirelessly with a 2.4-GHz RF connection. Receiver stores inside mouse when not in use. Mouse folds flat for easy carrying and turns off automatically when folded shut. Includes a...

Raised design isn't comfortable, since it doesn't rise up far enough to rest the hand on. No way to tell when batteries are running low

Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse

Logitech's new portable mouse introduces some excellent features. If sculpted with a bit more care, this mouse might have achieved greatness.

Expandable chassis folds flat for travel; four-way touch scroll panel; "all-terrain" optical engine; carrying case included.

Expensive; not terribly ergonomic.

It will cost you a little more dough, but the V500 is one of the most responsive and out-and-out slickest laptop mice available.

Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse

Ease of use: Left and right click are on par. The scroll panel is different and takes getting used to, but it's well worth it Accuracy: Works great on all surfaces we tested. Accuracy is great- slight idleness when moving the mouse very very slowly Respon

Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse and Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse Reviews

The sailors of South Pacific sing, "There Is Nothing Like a Dame," but lots of laptop PC users will tell you there's nothing like a mouse: Some hate touchpads, some hate pointing sticks, but many notebook owners prefer the buttons, scroll wheel, and...

Logitech also wins the industrial-design competition, apart from making us study the instruction label to figure out how to insert the two AAA batteries (one on top of the other). The V500's 2.4GHz radio receiver is a tiny USB stick, dwarfed by the...

Logitech - V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse

One person's favourite mouse is another's horror story. The variance in personal taste is one reason Logitech has made a real name for itself in replacement mice and keyboards, producing alternatives that cater to different needs. ...

The V500 is one of the best notebook mice we've seen. It is easy to use, designed with robustness in mind, and even comes with its own carrying case. It's not exactly a throwaway price, but if you need a laptop mouse, this is certainly one worth...

V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse by Logitech

I got the best deal on this mouse by ordering it through newegg; very prompt shipping and a very satisfying purchase from its order to its delivery.

I purchased this mouse from newegg about six months ago: I have loved it from the first day; it is very responsive and scrolls beautifully, and I love the design of it. I highly recommend it, not only for notebooks, but for anyone looking for a...

There is nothing negative I could write about this product

I hate this mouse severely.

I tried and tried to get used to it. No way. I'm stuck with a $xx piece of plastic that i cant even give away. Do yourself a favor, something this personal, go to a STORE where you can hold many different kinds. then make a decision. You wouldnt buy a...

Its by Logitech, so the build quality is good

Where do i start? I'll make it quick. This is the most uncomfortable 'thing' ever. no contours, no ergonomics. Just a sleek swoopy design. My hand began to cramp within a minute of use ; And this "Touch (non)Wheel" thing? Just does NOT work. Spinning a...

great additional to my l2000

Wish they made it in another color =)

This product has been great. Its nice and small and it works on any surface. I was using it on a rugged piece of cloth and it was really smooth. The sensors works great and theres even a slot to hide the reciever

Nothing Great Product

Great Notebook Mouse

This is the 2nd notebook mouse owned & so far best used. Previously had a corded notebook mouse with retractable cord, but was messy to use since the cord coiled up and got in the way. The scroll panel may take getting used to but it works. (Though the...

Comfortable feel, stylish yet practical design, very responsive, excellent battery life. (Favorite Feature: Hide-away compartment IN the mouse for micro-receiver for fast and clutter free storage. See Logitech site for more details, since the pics for...

Scroll touch panel may not be for everyone. Some 2.4GHz phones (such as mine) when in use *may* interfere with mouse tracking (i.e. mouse movement slows down, but the mouse still works)
