I have a Macbook Pro, (pre-unibody) running Leopard 10.5.6. When installing the software for this mouse, the installer found a newer version which I downloaded and installed. The mouse ran ok most of the time, but occasionally it would become unresponsive and lock up the menu bar, and a hard shutdown was the only way to get it back. I really like the mouse and didn't want to return it, so after searching forums online I decided to uninstall the software (it has its own uninstaller). Fortunately the Mac's native drivers can handle the mouse just fine for all its default functions: left-click, right-click, regular scrolling, side to side, fast scrolling and center button zoom. The only advantage the software offered was the ability to program the buttons to do specific functions. Since letting Leopard run the mouse, it has worked without problems.
Pros:
1-Great shape and size; larger than most notebook mice, but still very portable. Its shape conforms nicely to the hand.
2-Tracks on any surface, even skin.
3-On/off button to conserve batteries (which are included, along with carrying pouch).
4-It fits perfectly on the space below the keyboard and next to the trackpad on my Mac.
Cons:
1-Buggy drivers at least for the Mac.
2-Tracking lags a bit. I've gotten used to it, but someone who requires really fast or precise clicking, like in gaming, would hate this mouse.
3-If I put the Mac to sleep, the mouse sometimes takes a bit to wake up. Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).
