Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a fan of Logitech V270 Bluetooth mouse which served me a good 3 years and now needed a replacement (due to unavoidable mechanical wear of switch contacts with the electronics still perfect). I tried to get hold of V270 for months now and to no avail. Of course, it has been replaced by 2 or 3 generations of product upgrades. Why change the product that is perfect? Logitech V270 WAS perfect! As I had no choice, I tried the latest upgrade of V270 by the model name V470. Quite inferior mainly being too small and therefore uncomfortable in the palm and it was back the same day to Amazon Marketplace who kindly refunded including postage. Next I tried Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 which was almost the same size as the V470, and not only uncomfortable but the mouse pointer lag and jitter was quite annoying (you can risk clicking the wrong command).
Logitech M555b? Quite a performer and back to the same comfort zone I enjoyed with V270. It is responsive and didn't notice the lag or jitter I observed with Microsoft Bluetooth mouse.
Any down sides? The software for M555b has a lot to be desired. With V270 I didn't need to install any software since it happily works with drivers built into Windows (the OS I use). M555b has additional features (Application switcher button and left and right click on the scroll wheel). If you want to take advantage of these features (you really want to!) you cannot do without Logitech SetPoint software. The mouse still works without Logitech software but the additional features I have just mentioned will not work without Logitech software.
The trouble with Logitech software is that it is not a lean driver software; it is a hefty software intended for both Logitech keyboard and mouse and loads at least two programs into memory every time Windows starts (if you've to know these, the programs are Kernel and Hardware Abstraction Layer KHALMNPR.EXE and Setpoint.exe). I have read several complaints on the Internet regarding these programs being taking an unfair share of memory and processing time.
If you use Windows explorer, documents, and browser a lot (which almost all of us do) you'll really appreciate the scroll wheel sideway clicks which you can easily program for BACK and FORWARD actions (by default programmed as Horizontal Scroll). This really adds work productivity.
Do I still miss Logitech V270? The immediate answer is YES, but the added feature of BACK and FORWARD actions on M555b might encourage me to reconsider my answer.

Nice, but wheel button click is flawed as cannot be configured [always switches scroll mode]
16 Feb 2010
Bought M555b for use with a Windows 7 [32 bit] netbook [Samsung N510] and is nice to use [and looks good too!] - easy to setup with the Logitech setpoint software [comes with CD with version 4.72, downloaded the latest 4.8] where can configure the left/right tilt of mouse wheel to move left/right on firefox tabs [set button 4 & 5 to keystroke Ctl+Page Up and Ctl+Page Down] as usual.
Unfortunately, clicking the wheel button ALWAYS switches mouse between hyperfast & click vertical scrolling mode - cannot change this button to act as a middle button click. For me this is a massive disadvantage as I use this alot in firefox to open a link in new tab [and also close/unclose/new tab with extension Tab Mix Plus]. There is a button below the wheel which can be changed to be the middle mouse click [default is to be an application switcher] but pressing this is way more awkward. On my desktop Logitech Performance MX mouse it is the other way around i.e. it is the button below the wheel which switches the scrolling mode but clicking the wheel can be set to be the middle mouse click
If this middle click on wheel thing is also important to you and want a bluetooth portable mouse, would recommend the older Logitech V470 [which I also own] as the wheel button can be set to a middle click [this mouse has no scrolling mode option]
Logitech V470 Wireless Bluetooth Laser Laptop Mouse (White)
Apart from this one feature, the M555b is [slightly] better in use [less humped shape in the middle and nicer in hand] and weighs 115g [mostly the 2 AA battery]. If Logitech came out with a new[M555c?] that switched these buttons over, then rating would be 4.5/5

I purchased this mouse to replace my trusty Logitech V270, which has served me brilliantly over the last 4 years.
Having recently switched from a PC laptop to Mac, I was looking for a mouse of the same size and style as the V270, but without the fuss or fiddle of a USB dongle.
As with the V270, I find the M555b to be both practical and convenient, with excellent battery life.
It's comfortable too (even with large hands like mine!).
The mouse works well with Mac OSX (Leopard) Spaces etc... but you will need to install the Logitech software to make this work.
Whilst it is expensive, I use my laptop all day long, so the saving on batteries more than compensates for the price premium.
Overall an excellent product, and a worthy replacement for the V270.
