Are you planning to change the mouse you are using right now because it is no longer working perfectly well? Or you just wanted to have an alternate mouse for your current one? I suggest you read on to find more about the Logitech V220. I say it is an ideal cordless optical mouse for your notebook.
As I have said Logitech V220 is cordless so you do not have to battle with the cord getting entangled somewhere. Below are its advantages:
Comfort and Control. You can bring it with you much the same way as you can bring your laptop with no worry of the cord being damaged. Its ergonomic design provides you with soft rubber grips on its sides that maximize the comfort of not having slips when holding it. Logitech V220’s non-slip rubber side panels help you to be in control. There is a crest wheel that provides a better grasp whenever you want to scroll it. Both the right and left buttons work perfectly well. It can fit both hands conveniently because of its ambidextrous design.
Plug and Play made Simpler. The double “A” batteries can last up to 6 months and even longer because of its automatic on and off switch. Aside from that, you only need one “AA” battery for the mouse to work. This on and off switch is located underneath the mouse, which I consider a best feature of the V220. You can turn it off if you will just be typing or reading and will not be using the mouse, therefore saving on battery life. It features an LED battery level indicator to alarm you if batteries are getting low. The green light indicates that the batteries are still good; it turns red if the batteries need to be replaced. At the bottom of the mouse are receiver slides that easily turn off when you slide the mouse in and turn on when you slide the mouse out.
If you are on a hurry, just snap the USB mini-receiver and you are ready to go.
Performance Level. Making the Logitech V220 more than 2 ½ times more receptive than the standard optical mouse is the high-definition optical technology which features 1000-dpi optical sensor. Viewing digital photos and spreadsheets is a whole lot better because of its side-to-side scrolling with zoom. It takes less effort if you want to zoom it in and out or roll it vertically or horizontally.
With its price, Logitech V220 is definitely a good bargain not only because of its compact and rugged look but also because of its very good features such as the soft rubber grips on its side. Although it says it is good for your notebooks, you can also use it for your PC.
Another good feature of V220 is that XP, Linux and Vista all recognized it and installation is only for a few seconds.
Do not be surprised if you buy the V220 and no software goes with it. It, nevertheless, provides you a link to the website to make the mouse work which you can download.
There is, however, one thing that the Logitech people must have overlooked. The instruction brochure should have a step-to-step guideline in installing the battery. The diagram is a bit misleading as the positive end of the battery was shown going first into the mouse but the battery has a small negative sign on the end and a small positive sign on the other end. If you follow the diagram, you will be led to put the positive ends first when it should be the other way around.
To conclude, the Logitech V220 Cordless Mouse is worth its price so grab it now!
