Since Dave reviewed his mouse he’s only had for a week or two, I thought I’d go ahead and comment on my no-frills red Logitech V200 cordless mouse
I’ve had for about six months now.
This is my third mouse in about two years, and it’s finally the one I think I’ll be sticking with. It’s simple and usable, and goes fantastic with my other red desk accessories. I use it on my desktop, and it’s only a hair smaller than some of the desktop mice I’ve used.
As you can see, the USB receiver isn’t nearly as small as Dave, but if you’re using it on a desktop instead of a laptop, it’s not a big deal at all. And if you do use it on a laptop, the receiver snaps on the bottom with no problem.
Unlike some of the other mice I have, this one will go a couple months before I have to swap out the batteries. I’ve literally had zero problems in the six months I’ve owned it.
Recently I decided to buy myself a new mouse, since my old one was getting, well, old. After some research, I found that the Logitech VX Nano
got really good reviews, so I ordered one. I eneded up getting it in the mail about two weeks ago, and I have to say that this mouse is awesome!
The features of this mouse are awesome, a scroll wheel that you can change between hyper fast scrolling and precise scrolling, side scrolling, forward and back buttons (programmable), another button for switching programs (also programmable), low battery indicator, side grips, and best of all, the nano receiver. You know that usb receiver you use to get signal for your wireless mouse? If you’re lucky, then it might be the size of a thumb drive. How about the size of a nickel? The nano reciever is so small, you can stick it in your laptop and never take it out, since it can fit in the bag just as well with it in as with it out.
It can also be stored inside of the mouse and can be ejected with a little button which I thought was cool.
When I first got it, I tried scrolling it noticed how the scroll wheel spun all by itself which is awesome. I didn’t realize until later that it could be changed to the standard clicky scroll wheel until I pushed it down and it changed. At first I though I broke it! Pretty cool feature. It also came with Duracell batteries (always good), a USB extender dock thing for easy access to a desktop usb port and a nice mesh protective case. The only very small issue I have with this mouse is its size. While it’s not a tiny mouse, it still is not a full size mouse either. For someone with smaller hands it would be perfect, but I prefer larger mice. When I ordered it I knew that it was going to be smaller, so I don’t want to say that this mouse isn’t good because it’s small, it’s meant to be that way. If I want a bigger mouse for my desktop I would probably go with a Logitech MX or Logitech G5. Anyways, that’s my two cents. If you are considering getting a portable mouse, I would definitely recommend this mouse first.
