Logitech V220 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks (Scarlet Red)

Logitech V220 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks (Scarlet Red) Review

This is my first wireless mouse, so after approximately a month of use, I'm still getting used to a few features, one of which is turning the battery switch off if I'm not using the mouse for an extended period of time. Initial hookup was just like I want all my tech devices. Turn it on, plug it in, use it, and forget all the details. It's a simple device that uses AA batteries (fortunately the manufacturer was smart enough to include a Duracell and not a cheap battery) which easily slides into the bottom compartment. The USB connector does stick out about 1 1/2", so if that could be an issue for your computer, take that into account. I chose the black/silver since it wouldn't show fingerprints or dirt buildup that can occur on a mouse over time. Occasionally I'll use a soft cloth with a cleaner on my other keyboards and mice to keep them sanitary. For this mouse with the rubber sides, you probably won't want to use any cleaner on that portion of the mice since it could result in staining. Speaking of the rubber sides, they feel great and add an extra sense of a "secure grip" when moving the mouse. Another pleasant surprise is the mouse moves the cursor across my screen very quickly with very little hand motion. That feature alone is worth the price. I much prefer this mouse over the touchpad on my Toshiba Satellite A665...so if you're frustrated with your laptop's touchpad, you'll love this mouse. I've not hauled this mouse around much, so I can't speak for its durability in being carried around in a backpack or messenger bag, but if you're careful, this should give you several years of good use. The price on Amazon is excellent for this item as well. I could have bought the same item for several dollars more at a local "big box" office supply, but it's worth waiting a few days, paying .00 less, and getting free shipping on top of that. Whether you're using a laptop or desktop, for the price, this is a very good buy that I can highly recommend.
