Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse Review


This two button, multi-direction scroll wireless mouse designed by Logitech looks smooth with a comfortable grip. The size is relatively small, which is an upside for mobility, but a downside for people with larger hands. The most notable feature is the storage compartment for the USB key. With the hit of a switch, the bottom portion of the mouse not only clicks open to reveal the USB key, but also acts as an on/off switch for the mouse. Pop the USB key out, plug it into your computer and the mouse is all ready to go. When you are done, just pop the USB key back into the mouse, hit the switch again to simultaneously turn off the mouse and safely hide the USB key.

The only negative aspect of this mouse for me is the scroll bar. The scroll is not your traditional scrolling wheel, but rather a sensor. If your scrolling finger is not in the middle of the sensor, the mouse will automatically assume you want to scroll and send the pages flying. Additionally, if you don't install Logitech's software, the scroll will make a clicking sound mimicking scroll wheel (this can be a problem if you're studying in a library).

Other than that, this is a great mouse. A highly recommend checking out Logitech for more information and latest pricing for the mouse.
