 Spectacular mouse with great feel, comfort and accuracy August 14, 2006

This is a notebook mouse that isn't too tiny for a regular user. I use this mouse about 8 hours a day on my laptop. I got this mouse mainly for portability if I have to travel for my business but it is still comfortable enough to be a desktop mouse.
A few things to note:
1) Laser mouse: This is a laser mouse which basically has very very high accuracy and pretty much works on any reasonable surface.
2) Scroll wheel: The scroll wheel is very smooth but does have the regular click feel to it as opposed to my Microsoft Wireless mouse which doesn't. I prefer having the click feel but that's my personal opinion. The scroll wheel can also be "clicked" to the left and right if you're working on stuff that requires you to use the horizontal scrollbars.
3) Continuity: The 2.4 Ghz frequency of the wireless is phenomenal. I work pretty much 99% of the time wirelessly in my basement and have never run into any problems whatsoever. Notice that the receiver, too, is a tiny USB dongle which is perfect for travelling?
4) Power: Why is it perfect? Well, the dongle actually plugs into the mouse and shuts the mouse off to convserve on battery besides helping portability. 2 AA batteries are supposed to last 1 year with regular usage. The mouse in itself also has a on/off button which you can use if you prefer not to have to remove and reinsert the dongle into the mouse all the time.
5) Indicator: The mouse also comes with an LED light that will light up when batteries are low so no surprises - especially for me since I'm also a daytrader.
The setpoint software that comes with Logitech is highly recommended. It even tells you if the battery is good or low.
I give this thing 5 stars. Everything I want in a notebook mouse and nothing less.
Wow, now this is the mouse I was looking for... September 24, 2006

I really tried to like my MS Laser Notebook Mouse 6000. I tried to like all three of them over the last four months in fact...There is something seriously wrong with that mouse - and I am not terribly tough on mice.... I was tired of calling MS and getting a replacement only for it to last a month. Eventually I knew would run out of warranty support, so instead of contributing to the electronics landfill, I thought I would try the Logitech V450.
Wow, so this is what a laser notebook mouse can be. Excellent tracking, even on a smooth white surface. The clicks feel just right, and the scroll wheel is excellent. The zooming function is useful and well implemented. The off button is brilliant and the wireless dongle stores cleverly in the mouse for travel.
All I can say, really, is that this Logitech offering is designed a billion times better than the MS equivalent, and if it has any longevity, it is a strong strong buy, even at full price.
A Perfect Mouse for Your Notebook or Even Desktop November 30, 2006

I got this mouse 4 months ago after I lost my old beloved wireless trackball when I moved. I bought this mouse from Sam's Club as a replacement for $25. I had some initial doubts about going back to basic mouse after using the trackballs for years. But I'm so happy with this mouse I will probably never go back to trackball now.
When you open the package you see 2 included AA batteries - not just any batteries, but Duracell batteries. How many times have you seen, say, a remote control, come with some cheap no-name batteries? But Logitech is certainly not cutting corners. It gave me two nice Duracell batteries. Now 4 months later with daily use, my software indicates the battery level is still "good."
Even though the mouse takes in 2 AA batteries, the mouse is surprisingly small. It makes me wonder sometimes how you can cram two AA batteries in there. But Logitech did it.
The small USB receiver attaches directly to the USB port. Some wireless mice have receives that connect to the USB port through a cord, which sort of defeats the purpose of being wireLESS. This is a much better design.
The signal between the mouse and the receiver is very good. I just tested the mouse-receiver range for the purpose of this review. I have no problem getting the mouse to work 15 feet away, which is the maximum test range that my living room allows.
I especially like the feature that you can store the receiver inside the mouse itself when not in use. I'm not a person who keeps good track of where everything is, and given the small size of the receiver, I'm sure this has saved me hours of time trying to locate the receiver.
The mouse uses laser to track movement. My computer work does not require laser precision, but still this is nice. The mouse works on almost any surface, even white blank paper. I haven't tested it on glass though. If you're really determined, I'm sure you can find one or two rare surfaces that the mouse doesn't work well on.
The scroll wheel can also click left and right. In the provided program, you can set the sideway clicks to function as scroll left and right, as "back" and "forward" in web browsing, or as something else. It's a huge help.
The only feature I wished it had was to have the USB receiver also function as a flash drive. But I'm extremely satisfied as it is. If you're looking for a easy-to-carry mouse for your notebook, or just a mouse that does what it's supposed to do without all the bells and whistles, this is it.

This could have been a great mouse.
Instead it's so frustrating to use that I am returning it
(thank you amazon, for your fair and reasonable return policy).
What I like about the V450:
o nice size and shape, feels good in the hand
o compact USB receiver
o major buttons (left, right) and scroll wheel are very smooth and pleasant to use.
What I hate about this mouse:
o movement response time is inconsistent. Sometimes it is very responsive - you move the mouse and the cursor moves appropriately. Other times there is a distinct lag - you move the mouse and nothing happens for the first few inches of travel. I find this very frustrating,
and inaccurate.
o wheel response time is also inconsistent. This is similar to the above complaint, except sometimes it goes into a state where you can move the wheel 1 click forward and back repeatedly with zero corresponding movement in your application. Another exceeding irritating problem.
o middle button requires far too much pressure to activate. If you use this button often you are going to hate this mouse. It takes much more pressure to activate than the other mice around my office do (2 Microsoft, a Dell, and a corded Logitech).
o buggy driver software. I originally installed the included drivers (and updated them via the internet) as this is necessary to allow use of the side scrolling buttons. The software is poorly designed so that some features (button use) are set in the Logitech Setpoint program, but other
mouse attributes (acceleration, sensitivity) are set in a different program. I could live with that, but the drivers make the already poor performance even worse.
Strangely, I purchased this cordless mouse to replace an aging corded Logitech which I like very much. I merely wanted to unclutter my desk by eliminating the cord.
For now I'm going back to my old Logitech mouse.
My favorite notebook mouse so far August 31, 2006

It simply works. As accurate as any corded mouse, but with the convenience of wireless. Feels fine in my hand, and the "notched" scroll wheel (I dislike smooth-scrolling wheels) works perfectly. Buttons click easily, but not to the point of causing extra erroneous clicks. I had previously tried Microsoft's latest laser notebook mouse, the 6000, and before that the MS 3000, and this one stands head and shoulders above them.
