Great little mouse!
Very easy to set up and configure on my new macbook. The mouse is white so looks good alongside. Horizontal scroll was of no use to me at all but configured it so that left is application windows and right is all windows allowing great ease of use. The scroll wheel click I set to spaces so i can flick through anything i want without even having to touch the keyboard...

Mouse average, Logitech service faultless
This mouse is quite small, notably its quite short so might be a challenge for longer fingers/hands. Connecting to a Bluetooth-enabled PC seemed to require a few attempts before it paired successfully. Pairing with a Macbook was lot easier.
Over the months, it only refused to connect point blank to the Mac once. After a lot of retries/changing batteries/shouting...

Great little mouse!, 8 April 2008
Very easy to set up and configure on my new macbook. The mouse is white so looks good alongside. Horizontal scroll was of no use to me at all but configured it so that left is application windows and right is all windows allowing great ease of use. The scroll wheel click I set to spaces so i can flick through anything i want without even having to touch the keyboard!
Connects well and works on the couch and bed as well as table top. All in all well worth the money spent and getting loads of use out of it. Batteries are still going strong after a couple of months however I do turn it off overnight!

Le grande fromage!, 26 Dec 2007
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.

Excelent Mouse, 10 Sep 2008
When my Apple Mighty Mouse failed after 3 days and I really wanted a bluetooth mouse for my new MacBook I decided to try this Logitech one.
It is small/compact and thus easily transported but large enough to be easy to use. Light and moves easily.
It worked immediately, is comfortable, easy to use, reliable, etc. I am very satisfied.
I would thoroughly recommend it.
I did not install Logitech software and have always used it as a standard bluetooth mouse. This seems to provide all the functionality I need (including left and right scroll as well as up and down using the wheel). I did read some negative comments about some versions of the software (re: conflicts with Growl) but I also read there were solutions - but I felt the standard operation was all I needed.

Excellent Value For Money, 29 Nov 2008
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.

Perfect!, 9 May 2008
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

The mouse to get!, 8 May 2008
I hummed and haa-ed, spoke to friends and despite being advised to go for the Logitech V470, I went for the Microsoft unit. I've been happy with their mice in the past, and it was a few quid less too. To cut a long story short, I have now bought a V470. I have both units in front of me as I write, and sadly the 5000 isn't even close. The scroll wheel sensitivity cannot be adjusted (or re-programmed, unlike the Logitech, with their excellent control centre software), and the buttons are already beginning to stick. The Logitech mouse is a dream; fits my hand perfectly, nice feel to the buttons and wheel. BTW, I am using a MacBook Pro running OS X and Windows XP

Superb piece of kit in every respect, 7 Nov 2008
I had an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse before this and I must say it beats it hands down! Lightweight and portable as well as perfectly at home on your desk, the tracking is excellent and the extra functions (for macs anyway) a stroke of genius - you can personalise the scroll wheel (which also tilts from side to side) to use Spaces, Expose, Applications - practically whatever you want. The amount of control this very well-priced mouse gives you is unparalleled for any non-professional user.

Size information!, 19 Feb 2009
One thing I looked for and couldn't find about this mouse (even on the Logitech site) was its size. It is about 9.5 cm long, 5 cm wide and 3.5 cm high, or in old money 3.75 x 2 x 1.5 inches. Quite a good comfortable size I found.
Others have covered its other attributes. Works well with Linux (Ubuntu), as well as Windows, on a Samsung NC10.
Poor marks to Logitech, though, for the packaging, which is one of those horrible hard plastic shells which is almost impossible to get into and not at all environmentally friendly.

Very Pleased, 15 May 2008
I was considering buying the Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, but was dissuaded by the poor customer reviews. So I looked into this one. I am glad I did.
It is a good size and shape, it is reliable and very handy. And it matches my white MacBook very well. I have had mine for about 3 weeks now. Battery is fine. It connected straightaway, even without the Logitech software being installed. The fact that it has no extra programmable buttons doesn't bother me. The tracking is excellent - I was just now using it on the arm of my armchair(!) and it was fine. And the Bluetooth range is great too.
And because it is Bluetooth it frees up another USB socket. One thing I was unsure about was whether or not I could use the mouse and run a connection to another Bluetooth device at the same time, I have found out that I can! A bonus!
I have had a few problems with it disconnecting itself from my MacBook, but nothing too serious. Re-pairing it has solved the problem each time.
I whole-heartedly recommend the V470.

Brilliant wee moose, 28 May 2008
As I wanted to have a mouse to use with my laptop that had no cable or additional USB stuff I opted for this bluetooth one. Arrived the next day thanks to Royal Mail & when switched on & followed windows Vista found new hardware windows that popped up it operated straight away. Did not even have to load the disc that came with the mouse as all worked fine. This unit also has an on/off switch & comes with its own wee travel bag too.
