I want to try this one out!


Cin

 

Nice cool looking mouse.... and practical too

Are you getting one, Cin?

 

Oh yes, I am...I'm looking forward to trying this one out!

What about you?


Cin

 

I've got a plethora of gaming mice at home...I probably won't need another one for the next 5 years

Though, I might be able to persuade a friend to buy one so I can check it out

 

Yeah, I'm kind of excited..This, could *potentially* replace my MS BT 5000 (would become backup)

I'm sure you can persuade your friend!


Cin

 

I will stick with the MX Rev thanks lol. More buttons hehe.

Sounds like they adapted the scroll wheel for a smaller model though and the bluetooth is a plus.

 

Looks interesting. I don't think it's as nice looking as the V470 but it does have the hyperscroll wheel.

 

I'm looking forward to the Ded. media control buttons..

And, the hyper-fast scrolling..and it looks like it will be a comfy mouse (well, for me)!!


Cin

 

5 buttons? Where are they all?

 

Id like to see a bluetooth version of one of the more practical gaming like mice.

G5, G7, or MX518.... thats a standard looking mouse may as well get a nano

 

You can get this at Dell Small Biz now!!

And, you can use that 25% coupon code! (it expires soon)
Oh snap!



Cin

 

I currently use a VX Nano for my lappy. How does this compare in size? I like the small size of the VX Nano and I travel a lot and am trying to reduce the amount of crap that I actually travel with. The VX Nano has a dongle and wouldn't mind not having to use it.

 

I just ordered this today, and it should be arriving tomorrow!! I will post pics and do some sort of mini review on it here, and advise




Cin

 

I just got a new VX (warranty yay) so I'll pass. I'm not gagging for BT on a wireless mouse. It's always annoying to lose mice when you're playing with power profiles / wireless ekeing.

 

Can't wait for the impressions and pics.

 

I'm just excited to be receiving it! I'm hoping it will turn out to be a great BT Mouse, and a *keeper*


Cin

 

It's a BIGGG + for bluetooth, since I only use BT mouses.

However I'm interested in reviews, as I wanna know if it has SmartWi like my desktop's MX rev, as opposed to logitechs vx series that require you to manually switch from hyperfast to standard scrollwheel

 

Hi,

Here's the first review that I could find on this mouse:

http://www.mac-forums.com/blog/review-logitech-m555b-bluetooth-mouse/

I like that it no longer has the on/off clip that that V550 Nano has, and that it now has an on/off toggle switch.

 

I am in the market for a new mouse too. Looking forward to read your comments on this one Cin

 

Not a bad review, but he called the V470 "cheesy in construction". My experience is the exact opposite. It's very solid feeling and comfortable in my hands. Just wanted to clarify that.

 

I'm looking forward to receiving it (was supposed to have on Friday..but shipping readjusted to 6/29) Oh well..what can you do?

(I'm also going to be receiving this one:
Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000 w/BlueTrack Technology)
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Wir...6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1246211860&sr=1-6

I couldn't decide which one I liked better..so I will do something on both, I decided. The MS 6000 is more like a VX Nano so I'm excited to also see the results with that one!


Cin

 

Does this one have a middle mouse button?

 

Okie, all!

I got home tonight..and sitting at my front door was my Brand Spankin New....LG M555b Bluetooth Mouse

Here are some *teaser* photos...tomorrow I shall open and provide several pics, with a nice write up! (It's been a long day)



Photo quality will be better tomorrow...sorry...


Cin

 

I look forward to your review tomorrow. I know how much of a mouse aficionado you have become !

 

i am waiting for the arrival of the new MS bluetrack mouse with nano receiver

 

HaHa! Yes, I nearly took it out of the box this morning..but w/held

I am hoping that arrives before the end of the week

Cin

 

That new MS does look really nice.

 

while my notebook do have a BT module and i am always tempted for one, but i just can't get myself to buy one...

as much as i love logitech mouse (vx rev. and v220, and a few before), my lachesis is good enough for most things, or else i have a screen to touch, or the decent trackpoint for everything stuff.

bluetrack however is very tempting simply b/c 1. it is new, 2. most agree it works. 3. cheap for new gadget. 4. i buy a mouse every year

i look forward to seeing this review on it though, the shape look slick and hyper-scroll is great.

MS portable bluetrack has yet to appear in canada though, still waiting

 

I'm not a big fan of the design, but then again, it's not like I have a huge choice in Bluetooth mice.

 

now that none of my wireless mice click perfectly, i will be in market for another.

review review review

 

Where is the review or photo's Cin'

Could not wait. Upgraded from my Dell (Logitech) USB mouse...about 5 years old to a Verbatim Wireless 2.4 GHz Laser desktop mouse.

What a difference. Works like a dream. On any surface (except glass...obviously).

 

Hey all!
I'm waiting on the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000 to arrive..which will be anytime this afternoon! Then, once my camera is operating properly..I shall do reviews on both..possibly today!

Cin

 

cool. i am waiting here to make my decision

 

OhhOhh...my pressure is on then!

The Microsoft 6000 just got delivered...It looks sweet (thru the packaging), and the *receiver*, truly is as small as the Nano's receiver!

Will try and snap a photo with my cell phones camera of the packaging soon.


Cin

 

my decision has been made long before bluetrack and bluetooth will be my cohice and it is the only reasonable thing to happen next from MS

 

(hey guys, i am interested in m555b review.)

 

Wow Cin. I always appreciate your input regarding notebook mouses.
I remember that u recommend MS bluetooth mouse 5000.

How many mice do you have now? Do you use them all (at the same time)?
lol

 

Hi! Has your camera started working? I'd love to see the m555b review

 

Thanks... Mice lets see....The purchase of the LG M555b and the MS 6000, make it......6...

I will be starting the review today, and hopefully have a review up. The Camera I thought I could use...is DOA. My new one arrives today bet. 12&2 So I will use that one. I could use my camera phone..but the pic's taken of the Mice, would not be of standards I would want to provide...

So, soon!

Cin

 

OK. I will wait patiently...

 

Hee hee thanks!

The camera just arrived..so it's charging now! After that I can take some photos and do the review on them both!

*You don't know how much I've wanted to pry open the plastic on the boxes*


Cin

 

Go girl and and give us all a nice review complete with pics

I might ditch my newly aquired laser wireless mouse in favour of a Bluetooth one. Depends on how good your review is however....

Cheers

 

What camera did you buy? Another hobby of mine...
I always pick the expensive ones.

Can't wait for your pics and reviews.

 

you are buying a lot of stuff, nice!

 

Working on it..

I got the Olympus FE-3010..but it's not taking the best pics, and the battery charge is extremely *short* I will return for a different model..just don't know what... (What do you have).

A few teaser pictures below

Yeah, I had some gift cards/ECoupons to use up before they expired!







Cin

 

From the pics it looks like the camera might have focusing problems. What works sometimes for me is to back away some and use the zoom to get close to the subject. It also lessens the intensity of the flash.

Here's amazon's best selling point and shoot cameras. Most of the top sellers have overly positive reviews. I tend to stick to canon cameras. I have the S3 IS and the A570 IS. Both are a few generations old, but both take excellent pictures. I did have the A590 IS but sold it because the low light focusing was terrible. It also takes video at a lower framerate (20fps) than the A570 IS (30 fps).

Here's a great resource on cameras. That site is why I chose my cameras and I wasn't let down.

HTH

 

Oh thank you! I tried to set up the Macro on the camera & the pics were even *meh*...

I will try your suggestions...and also check out that site! I want to have good photos..Especially of both mice (I tend to get fussy with this stuff) ..

Cin

 

Do me a favour Cin. When you start testing/using the mouse try this test:

Get it all set up and working and then put the mouse pointer over a file or whatever that you want to open and leave the mouse idle for a minute say. Dont touch it.

Then after the minute is up (without moving the mouse) tap left click once and see if it highlights the file like normal.

If its sleeping, nothing will happen with the first click.

Am I making sense here???

 

thats a weird name for the mouse lol wheres the m555a? or is there haha i'm so outdated with technology.

 

Hello? How's you new mouse? Review please?
