Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech V200 Cordless Mouse - Silver ( 931379-0403 )
Customer Review: Receiver Storage Needs Work
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased this mouse and find it to be far above my expectations. The range is probably around 8-10' and the motion of the cursor is smooth and reliable. It seems to be rather sturdy and has nice, solid construction. It is also a very good size, large enough to fit in your hand but small enough for travel.
One problem is the snap on feature on the bottom side. The idea is that you can clip the receiver (smaller than a thumb drive). on the underside of the mouse when in transit. The only problem is that it doesn't snap on very securely. This problem could be very easily fixed by deepening the groove that it fits into to, or providing a more secure clipping mechanism. Another problem is the zoom feature of the scroll wheel, it takes entirely too much force to push down on, but I'm sure I'll get used to that eventually.
Customer Review: Logitech V200 Cordless Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second cordless mouse. The first was a silver macally Bluetooth model. It functioned OK except for battery life. A few days at best.
The V200 on the other hand seems more like the energizer bunny, it just keeps going. Months.
I might subtract a half star due to its two part functionality.
The mouse itself holds the batteries of course, but there is a tinyl USB module that unsnaps from the bottom of the mouse and plugs into the laptop. (this would also work the same way on a desktop if you don't like dragging the cord around)
I know that the V200 communicates on a different frequency than my MacBook Pro's built in Bluetooth but it seems just a bit wastefull, having to add yet another process to the mix.
Bottom line, highly reccommended.
Customer Review: Carpal Tunnel Surgery HERE I COME!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
After one week of using this mouse my wrist began to hurt. Upon investigating what might be the cause I realized that there is no setting to set what position you hold the mouse. If you hold the mouse at a 45 degree angle and move left to right then the cursor moves diagonally instead of left to right. Most basic mice drivers have the ability to adjust this. Second... the mouse is spastic! I have adjusted and adjusted and there is just no decent speed on the mouse. So basically you have two speeds... spastic or slow. Which may also be contributing to my newly self-diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome.
I did search on Logitech for a different driver for the mouse and was unable to find one, which then lead me here to shop for a new mouse.
Customer Review: Portable, does it all...
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse is the best I could find for my laptop. I have been using it for the past 3 years, travelling all over the country, and I never had a single complain. It is small but comfortable, the USB attaches to it when not in use and shuts it down to save battery life (I have replaced the batteries twice in 3 years while using it every day), and it has programmable buttons scrolling towards every direction (very useful for Excel users). Finally it is optical, which means that it is accurate and works on every surface. Compared to the V500, it is much cheaper, and uses the safe solution of the wheel, rather than sensors.
I recommend it if you want a portable wireless solution with all the functions of a regular size mouse.
Customer Review: Best overall design I have seen
Summary: 5 Stars
For once, the product engineer was a common sense kind of person. The V200 is small, but just large enough that extended use does not cause hand cramps. The USB connector has the smallest profile (occupies the least space around the USB port to avoid crowding out the adjacent port -if they are spaced close together on the PC) of any I could find. Battery life is excellent, "speed" of the mouse is great, it is quiet, reliable and apparently durable. I have been using mine every work day for over a year and a half. My biggest concern is that Logitech might decide to discontinue them, and if mine were to break, I could not find a replacement. So I have just ordered a back up unit just in case!
