    Ordered from Buy.com on sunday night, got it yeterday $25 with free shipping. Works flawlessly with my XPS 1530, no wires or Dongle. Setup in two minutes...Highly recommend!

    I hear you can assign the side to side wheel scroll to perform back/forward functions on the v470. That might be more beneficial to you then just having the extra scrolling/zooming features. Did you get the blue one? Looks sharp.

    I've got the Logitech v270 in charcoal gray from CompUSA thru Amazon (the v470 replaced the v270). Cost was $29.99 but shipping and tax made it closer to $40 final cost. The thing is great. I've used it on bed sheets, on my leg, on different table tops. So far it's worked on all surfaces but one (can't remember which one though).

    I just set up a Logitech VX Nano on a laptop in my office. It is also a very nice mouse if you don't have Bluetooth. The receiver is tiny and the mouse has a really nice shape. The only issues are that it uses up a USB port and the middle button is very, very stiff...

    I ordered the v470 on Buy.com and used the "save $30" Buy.com visa card offer to lower my price to $4.95 shipped. Nice.

    Wish they had a Red one to match my Crimson REd 1530.
