    You ordered a very nice mouse! The Nano works great, and is well worth the price! A good friend has one, and it's lasted nearly a year! :D

    Many forum members have the Nano, and I expect the feedback you will get will be very positive! :D

    I would prob's get this mouse, if I didn't have my BT 5000.. :cool:


    Cin ;) :)

    i dont have it, but i look at it from photos around the net and in-store, they are really really tiny, any more tinier you cant get the off the usb. i dont think you need to worry about snapping it off.

    look at logitech site, i think they have a picture show how the usb stick out off the notebook.

    i have this as my secondary mouse, when i go out and don't have my mx518 on me. the receiver is small enough to just be a nub when it's put into the usb port so you don't really have to worry about snapping it. there's also a power button on the mouse so you can power it off when not using it. the keys are customizable after you install setpoint, although the lack of a middle click is slightly annoying for me (logitech set the middle click to switch between scrolling modes.) if you plan on using it with a desktop and worry about the range of the wireless, they also provide a usb port extender that you can place on your desk.

    i've used it on and off since i've gotten it in august, and the battery life is at 90% still. the only problem i have with it is it's quite a bit smaller than a normal mouse so it does take some getting used to.

    My teacher uses this and I tested out the reception before. IT IS AMAZING! Stepping outside a classroom and outside the room, the mouse was stil able to transmit to the computer.

    -Its also small, so I'm jealous of my teacher for having that :p

    I have it, I never actually use it though and I still remove the receiver when not in use. Even sticking out a small bit can hurt the usb port or the dongle if something hits it or snags it, and I only got it for my EEE which has a small form fit bag.

    The mouse itself and its battery life are fantastic, its a bit expensive but I got it cheap here from a forum member. There are horror stories about a defect in the dongle to where it will fuse itself into the usb port and never come out without breaking one or the other.

    I think there are at least 2 people here on the forums that have had it happen, but thats a vast minority. If you take the 10 seconds required to remove the dongle like me you will appreciate that the mouse turns on when you remove it from the hidden spot under the mouse, and it turns off the mouse when you put it back.

    You will not be dissapointed with this mouse, unless your used to giant mice :p
    Dongle its perfect and response time is incredible (no lag in games :cool:).
    However, Ive never found a use for the two little buttons left of the left click button.

    i use those as back and forward buttons in firefox on my logitech mx620. i use the centre wheel click as reload and the seach button as a stop reload button (keybind: esc).
    in games i use the side buttons as weapon change or grenades, mouse wheel for melee and grenades, and the search button as aim down sight.

    this is some great feedback. im used to small mice. i had a microsoft notebook mouse i really liked but the reciever sticks 2 1/2 to 3 inches out the back of my notebook and i have almost snapped it off a few times.

    I dont like the response time of bluetooth mice in gaming and i heard alot of people are using this instead. so i thought id try it.
