Got this mouse to replace my hp wired notebook mouse that broke after about 4 years of use. I thought that mouse was great untill i got my hands on this bad boy! Did a lot of research before purchasing before finally deciding on the v450 because it was cheaper than the v550. Before buying the v450 my wife found this one at the local sams club for a good deal and i couldn't pass it up. Boy am I glad i got it too! Love everything about it so far! The scroll wheel is great with its selectable click/free scroll and the side to side scrolling. Love the Application Switcher, makes multitasking so much easier! It has great precision control and works well on every surface i've tried so far. Also has long range reception, tried it about 6 feet away just to see.. worked like a charm. The nano receiver is so small you don't have to worry about breaking it like some other larger receivers! The battery life is awesome as well! Haven't made it to 18 months yet, but sounds promising! Also comes with the clip and go dock which attaches to your laptop and holds the mouse...Works great! To make the application switcher and side to side scrolling work, you simply download the easy to use software from their website. It even tells you how many days of battery life you left! Overall, Great product so far! First logitech purchase and I am definitely a satisifed customer!

I purchased this mouse about 3 weeks ago, primarily for use at home with a netbook. (I loved the nano receiver.) On its first trip away from home for a business meeting, it fell out of my laptop sleeve onto the floor and the back popped off. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I got home. At that point, the back could not be located, and I had an unusable mouse. I'm very disappointed with the design that permitted the back to pop off so easily. I replaced this with another Logitech mouse on which the receiver fits into the body without having to remove the back.

I bought this mouse for the laptop I got in September, so I've been using the mouse for just under a year. I was a bit hesitant about spending more than $25-$35 for a mouse - but it has given me wonderful service and has proven to be money well spent.
I hate using touch pads, so this mouse has been used exclusively. It scrolls through pages effortlessly and responds well on different types of surfaces. The little mouse holder attaches to the laptop cover and securly holds the mouse in place while you're on the go. I can walk with my laptop under one arm and not have to put the mouse in a bag, etc. while going from one site to another.
The mouse has performed flawlessly, and I find it quite comfortable to use. I can't imagine anyone not being happy with this mouse. It may not stand up on two legs and beg for cheese, but this mouse will be there working for you, long after the cheese is gone.

Nice mouse, but for ten bucks more...

Just got this mouse last week. As with every Logitech device i've owned, it's very well built and performs excellently.
Here's why I wouldn't recommend it. For an extra $10 you can get the VX Nano, which is the best notebook mouse I've ever used. With the VX, you get a better design, more controls, and a case.
I bought the V550 because the color suited my netbook, better, and I wanted to try a different mouse to the VX (i carry 2 laptops for work so wanted 2 mice).
In hindsight, I would have been more satisfied with the VX and would definetly recommend it.
Now where can i buy a case like what comes with the VX?
