Logitech BT v270 mouse

I just bought a logitech v270. Gotta say that it is absolutely awesome. It only has 3 buttons (left, right, and wheel click), but it works for what I need it to do. This is the only BT mouse I have ever used but I like it a lot. It has a solid feel to it (actually heavier than my desktop mouse...which I like), the wheel is nice and "clicky"(not too loud), the buttons are also nice and clicky(different kinda clicky than the wheel). It is slightly smaller than a desktop mouse (the kind that comes with a dell desktop). I have fairly big hands and I like the feel of it.

I am pretty happy with the movement, it seems as responsive as my desktop mouse. I have heard people talk about the lag they get when they wake the mouse up or whatever-honestly there might be one second from turning it on to using it- not a big deal. I tried leaving the mouse on for about 5 mins without touching it and then moving it and there was only a slight hiccup there. I think it is actually a lot better movement than the trackpad on my current sony laptop.

It comes with a nice neoprene case also which is nice for travelling with my laptop. Don't know much about battery life yet but I've heard its pretty good-it has an off/on switch so I suppose that will save some batt life.

Again, I haven't used any other BT mouse but I think this is a good deal and it works well, and it is pretty much all ya need for a laptop mouse or even a desktop with BT.

I am getting a new laptop in a few days which I will try some fps games out on (CS:S and hopefully Farcry) and I will report how the mouse does.

I am overall very stolked about this BT mouse and I thought I'd give a positive review which I haven't seen very much of. Most of the time, if people are completely happy with something they don't usually bother to say anything about it. I am completely happy with the v270 and I'm not afraid to say it!

cheers

Dan, Great to hear a positive review. I know what you mean about when people are happy with a product, they rarely run to a website to do a positive review. I've found that for the most part most people get fired up or pissed when a product doesn't live up to their expectations and they need to "vent" in a review. Anyway for what its worth, I too have a BT mouse, the Kensington BT pocketmouse and love it. I haven't run into any of the "lag" or "wakeup" problems that a lot of others have suffered when using a BT mouse. Just good to see another happy BT mouse user out there! After using a BT, I can't imagine going to or having to deal with a dongle sticking out of my machine. One less thing to worry about. Laters, Mike

 

i just ordered this mouse from newegg looks like one of the best notbook mice available

 

I'm another very satisfied V270 owner!

 

I love my V270!

 

i just got home from Microcenter having just bought a V270. Its still in the package because I wanted to read reviews on it before I opened it Seems like I chose a winner this time!!

 

yep, my v270 is a perfect compliment to my macbook

 

Using the Sony bluetooth mouse and am satisfied. Tracks well. Only negative is the very poor battery life. Lasts about 2 weeks.

 

I just bought a v270 but I can't get it to work. The software drivers that came with the mouse say that i don't have the correct bluetooth software installed on my computer. In the requirements it says i need broadcom or widcomm bluetooth BTW but I don't have either (I have the ASUS W3J). SHould i download either of those from somewhere? How did you guys get yours to work?

 

update: yeah, this mouse is teh awesomeness! it moves so much faster and more crisp than the fingerpad, and better then the optical corded mouse I was using before.. I actually had to turn the speed down to make it more usable!

 

i know this is a 270 thread, but do u think that i should get this, or the microsoft 6000 laser mouse?

 

my vote is for the kensington BT pilotmouse mini...just the right size for home and travel
