Customer Review: convenient and much better than using that touch pad on the laptop
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I was pleased with the packaging of this mouse. I'm so used to struggling with the plastic packaging and having to break out the scissors or knife to access the product that it was really nice to have the perferation at the top of the packaging and have it actually work to get to the mouse.
The mouse itself works wonderfully though I have to admit I wasn't thrilled that to use all it's features, you have to download some software offline. I'd much rather receive that sort of stuff in a disc rather than having to wait on the internet speed to pick up so that I could download it. However you can use the mouse for all the basics WITHOUT the download.
Honestly I've never used a mouse for the laptop before but really hated the touch pad so decided to give the mouse a try and have to admit I'm very impressed. Love that the wireless receiver fits nicely on the bottom of the mouse (though it would have been nice if the niche had been a bit deeper so that it would have been more compact when it's all put away but all in all a nice little device with a long battery life (which I fully appreciate)
Customer Review: This Little Beauty Works a Treat
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This little mouse is almost too responsive for my mac. After I downloaded the software from Logitech's site and plugged in the dongle I was ready for the wireless experience, but I wasn't quite ready for the speed. The pointer zipped across my screen seemingly at the speed of sound, no make that the speed of light. I went right into my system file and slowed that baby down as slow as it could go and still it's faster across the screen than the corded Apple mouse that came with my iMac.
Also it took me a couple three days to get used to the feel of this little beauty. And having lived in the Mac world so long, I'd forgotten all about the right click business, boy is that ever neat. With the Apple mouse it seemed like I always had my index finger curled up ready to click. With the Logitech mouse I have my index and middle finger laying over the top, I suppose like the designer's intended. This took a little getting used to, but now it's ingrained. I don't think I can go back. Plus the scroll wheel works a treat. This is a great mouse, Logitech you have my vote here.
Customer Review: Working great
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Logitech V220 notebook mouse a few weeks after buying my new notebook for college. I'm pleased with its performance so far; I've had it about one month.
The battery life is listed at 6 months, with regular usage. The mouse includes a useful on/off feature, however, which is manual or automatically done by inserting the USB receiver in the bottom of the mouse.
I was happy that the mouse included a AA battery, despite not listing this on the packaging. The battery life light, located on top, glows green for just a few seconds after turning the mouse on. Another useful feature, which I appreciate.
For ergonomics, know that this mouse is rather small, due to it being a notebook mouse. Dimensions are roughly 2.5-3 inches long, 1.5-2 inches wide, 1 inch tall. It fits my hand well, and I'm 6 feet tall with larger sized hands. The clicks are responsive, as is the scroll wheel, both forward/backward and side-to-side.
Software for the mouse can be obtained from [..]. The software (Logitech Setpoint) allows customization a bit further, such as mouse speed, left/right click settings, middle click settings, among other features.
Overall a great mouse, very accurate and with long lasting battery life (afaict).
Customer Review: Logitech V220 A good mousie
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Logitech V220 as an accompaniment to my new Samsung NC10-14GW 10.2-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 6 Cell Battery, XP Home) White. I got it because of it's compact design (for travel)and ergonomic shape, plus it looks cool too. The features I like about it, besides the aforementioned, are the scroll wheel (which also scrolls left/right and has a zoom feature), the downloadable software to personalize the mouse, the USB attachment that slides onto the back of the mouse for easy storage, and because it only takes one AA battery AND has an ON/OFF switch.
The zoom feature is good if you have a smaller screened netbook like mine (10.2"), although it doesn't work on all webpages for a reason I'm not sure of. It works by depressing the scroll wheel and spinning it forward or backward to zoom in or out, simple as that. As for the battery, I've only had the mouse for about 2 weeks and use it about 80% of the time that I use my netbook, so I'm not sure how long the it actually lasts. The only thing I don't like about it so far, is that I most always forget to turn it off when I'm not using it. =]
Customer Review: Super Mouse for My Use
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my first one of these mice probably a couple of years ago. I lost it at a meeting in a motel, and soon when out and replaced it with another V220.
I now own three of these little rodents and would be lost without them. One stays plugged into my docking station at all times, one goes on the road with me, and one (the pink one) is my wife's. I find them to be very comfortable, quiet enough for me, having excellent tactile feel, just the right size, durable, and having a long battery life. I've been banging one around in my backpack for over a year with no problems and am of the opinion it is very durable.
The only negative I can dream up is the size of the receiver. It sticks out from the USB port an inch or two, and can be bumped against if you are carrying your laptop around. I have never had a problem with it, but I know there are mice with smaller receivers out there. I wouldn't change my decision to purchase this mouse based on that little drawback, though.
I will wrap up with my opinion that Logitech mice are top of the line, and having owned close to a dozen in a variety of models, I don't even consider another brand when the time comes to replace one.
