I used this mouse to replace my Apple bluetooth one & I must say that I have not regretted the decision. It is a bit squatter than the Apples 'pebble' shape but the ergonomics are nevertheless appealing. The scroll wheel is basic but does what it is supposed to do very well. My PowerBook recognised the Logitech with no fuss & so far the battery life is definitely out performing my old mouse by a country mile. I have since bought another one of these for my daughters laptop & have no hesitation in saying buy this mouse.

I bought this mouse as a replacement for the Mighty Mouse that came with my iMac and so far I'm really pleased with it.
I wanted something simple, white, reliable and cordless. For the price I thought I'd try this mouse after reading several professional and consumer reviews.
Firstly, a quick summary of it:
This is a very compact, 3-button Bluetooth laser mouse with a tilt 'n' scroll wheel. It has two normal buttons and the scroll-wheel can be pressed down as a third button. There is no side thumb button e.g. for going back in browsers. The scroll wheel has built-in, incremental 'clicks' when you scroll back and forth. It also tilts from side to side. There is a small, LED light below the scroll wheel under the 'crack' (nyarf!) left by the mouse buttons. This flashes blue when trying to connect and also when the batteries are running low. It uses two AA batteries and, to my surprise, batteries ARE included!
On the underside are the battery cover, 3 'feet'pads, a connect button and an on/off switch.
It does not come with a USB dongle or any kind of attachment. You have to have Bluetooth already, either with a dongle or built-in to your desktop/laptop.
If I had seen this mouse in a store I would've dismissed it as it's very small- much more compact and bulbous than it looks in photos. However, to use it's very comfortable. Your hand sits on top of the mouse and buttons very nicely indeed.
I haven't installed any of the software that came with it:
A) because I don't need to.
B) the included CD is Windows only.
Also included in the packaging is a small cloth bag for the mouse, presumably for those using it with a portable.
Now there's three reasons I haven't given this 5 stars, one might seem petty and the other irrelevant, but bear with me:
1) The packaging. You need a seriously sharp pair of scissors or a knife to get through the plastic. It's one of these blister packs sealed all the way round. I HATE that stuff.
2) If you sleep your PC/MAC or just don't use the mouse for a long period of time it takes a few seconds to 'wake'. I wanted to clarify if this was a Mac Bluetooth issue but it occured with my friends XP laptop also. It's a minor niggle, but a niggle nonetheless.
3) Accuracy- if I was a gamer or a serious CAD/Photoshop user I wouldn't go for this mouse- although it's a laser mouse it's not got razor-sharp accuracy. Don't get me wrong, for normal use it's fine- better than fine. But you can feel the difference if you're needing pinpoint accuracy. Not a deal-breaker for me but would be for some.
Overall though this is a tidy little mouse and although it's aimed for use with laptops/notebooks it works perfectly well with a desktop and is suitable for long periods of use.
I can't comment on battery life yet (about 3 weeks and counting) but I have AA rechargeables so it's not that big an issue for me.
I would recommend this for any computer- maybe not for a gamer because of the number of buttons and, as stated, the accuracy- and it matches a Mac set-up perfectly- white and silver. You can't complain at this price-point either.

Ive just bought this for my macbook. Its a great simple bluetooth mouse. Certainly not too small as suggested in another review and fits neatly in your hand. Quickly connected to my laptop and works without fault, and I did not have to load any of the included software.
If you want a good, solid bluetooth mouse i don't think you can go wrong with this

This is an easy to use mouse. I have a MacBook, but preferred to buy this mouse instead of Apple's magic mouse since that one is a bit slow. I am quite happy with my choice now. Read more

Nice Mouse
Have to laugh at all the neg reviews of this product.
Is it just me or do all the neg's seem to come from Mac users who bought this?
Not suggesting anything... Read more
