Purchase Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue)
I have had this V470 for about six months. Using it with a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.4.11. Turned it on, it worked. Best mouse I've owned. Nice size, fits my hand much better that the M$ I was using before.Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).

After about 10 seconds of non use, the cursor jumps, twice, about a half to an inch when resuming movement of the V470 mouse. Tracking is not great but OK. The V470 is small for a mans hand.
I have a Logitech LX7 cordless with USB dongle on another laptop and it is large enough to fit well in a mans hand and works great.
I bought the Logitech V470 because I wanted a mouse without the dongle to go with a Dell Vostro notebook with bluetooth. The V470 connected to the Vostro without installing the Logitech software but the scroll wheel and other features did not work. I then installed the Logitech software (50 megabytes to run a mouse) and the V470 mouse worked with the limitations described initially.
Logitech's email tech supports only idea was to uninstall and reinstall, new downloaded software, which did not fix the sleep/disconnect issue. Eventually, Logitech sent a replacement V470. The replacement V470's tracking was improved (not great) but the disconnect issue was unresolved. I plan to use the V470 for a while, perhaps eventually Logitech will come up with a software fix?Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).

Shop For Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue)
I chose this mouse because of the extra buttons that most bluetooth mice don't seem to have. In this mouse, the scroll wheel tilts to the right and left adding two extra buttons which I have programed for forward and back page while internet browsing. This mouse does not use a "dongle", your computer needs to have bluetooth built in, which is what I wanted so I did not use up a USB port or have useless "dongles" hanging off my laptop all the time. This mouse, like all bluetooth mice, has a split second delay after sitting idle for any amount of time. This bothers some people and would certainly be bad for gaming, but I do not even notice it in everyday use. Again, all bluetooth mice have this delay, so do not hold it again'st this mouse. The mouse seems to have good build quality and is very sturdy. I am completely happy with this purchase.Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).
Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue)
While this mouse is great when it works, the bluetooth connectivity is flaky at best. I need for it to work every time I boot the computer up, but it doesn't, and that's not acceptable, especially not when I was using it with a desk top system, and would have to go find a wired mouse to access the bluetooth manager. It's now paired with my laptop, but still making crazy. By the time I've tried to reconnect the mouse 50 times, I'm ready to put a fork in my eye! Also, I've only had it 3 months, and already the filmy stuff that lines the lower half of the mouse is peeling off. Do yourself a favor, and buy wired. It may be a old-fashioned, but at least you know it will work every time.Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).

Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue) Top Quality
I'm using this mouse with Windows vista.
The Logitech V470 sleeps way too fast, making casual browsing (where you pause for 10 seconds or so e.g. reading a 3 sentence review of an item) and when you want to move the mouse again it "jumps" and lags because the mouse is waking from its sleep. I find it really irritating that I paid around $50 for a mouse that shows lag. (It may save power, but they should have made the sleep time either adjustable or longer)
The second problem I experienced is the DPI (think of it as a gauge to measure how accurate the mouse is when moving it around). First of all, no where online was i able to find the DPI of this mouse. The fact that Logitech fails to mention the DPI specification of this mouse makes me wonder why. I noticed that this mouse is not very accurate, and when compared to a 5-dollar cheap wired optical mouse, the 5-dollar mouse performed WAY better in accuracy. The V470 makes me feel like I'm using a very old mouse that used the tracking ball with lots of dust stuck inside. If a 5-dollar cheap optical mouse feels more accurate than this mouse (not taking lag into consideration), then there is some serious shortcomings in the V470.
I would not recommend this mouse at all. The only advantage is that it is wireless, but everything else falls below the poor performance level. I mainly use the mouse for internet browsing and I still find it irritating with lag and lack of accuracy. I would suggest searching for other alternatives.Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).

I can't seem to get this mouse to wake up after my iMac goes to sleep. After bluetooth makes a few passes trying to find the mouse, then, in cases like right now, I can't get the darned thing paired.
When I attach my Microsoft notebook wireless mouse with the dongle, I realize just how much accuracy I've been missing out on with the pointer going precisely where I want it to go, it does so quickly and smoothly, and there's no skipping.

Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue) Best Quality
I am very pleased with this mouse. It has great battery life, great response, laser precision, left/right buttons on the wheel, good size and comfortable grip.
I use this mouse every day for a few hours at a time. The mouse has a on/off switch on the bottom, but I just leave it on all the time. Even with all this use, I'm still on my first set of batteries. Which, by the way, were half dead from my previous mouse. I haven't touched the batteries that came with the mouse.
This mouse is more responsive than my previous mouse, and much more precise. My previous mouse was a Logitech v270 (Bluetooth optical mouse). It will go to sleep if left alone for a few minutes (not sure how many, but more than seconds like some people claim). It wakes up in a fraction of a second.
The soft grip on the sides is nice, except that it is too delicate. My mouse already has a scratch from a fingernail in the soft finish.
It came with a pouch, batteries, and a CD.Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).

I ordered this mouse for my boss. It was delivered quickly and the mouse was as advertised. I had some issues getting the bluetooth going on his laptop, but once that was done, the mouse connected and has given no troubles. This mouse has enough range that he can click through presentations from anywhere in the room.Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).

Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue) Buy Now
I bought this for my wife, who has killed two wired mice pinching the cord under reams of clutter. It could be a tad small for those with bear paws for hands, but it's not one of those stupid mice the size of a Hot Wheels car. Uses two AA batteries.
Turned on the Bluetooth on my wife's Mac Mini, the mouse paired up effortlessly, and hasn't skipped a beat. I didn't bother installing the Logitech software. The tilt wheel scrolls docs/pages side-to-side under OS X 10.5.2, and everything else works as expected. The laser tracking on her desk surface, which confused our other optical mice, is EXCELLENT.Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).

I'm a huge fan of Logitech gadgets, especially mice, but wasn't too happy with this one.
I've been using this mouse on my MacBook Pro, and it gets jumpy at times.
When it does work, it tracks well on my Razer eXactMat.
What I hated most is that takes 4-5 seconds to reconnect from sleep, and often loses connection.
I guess it could be a problem with both the MacBook or the mouse, but pairing them wasn't optimal for me.
Replaced it with a VX Revolution, and I'm happy again!
Will carry the V470 on the road.
Pros:
- No receiver required for bluetooth enabled notebooks
- Sleek exterior
- Small size
Cons:
- Jumpy at times
- Takes long ( 4-5 secs ) to reconnect to MacBook Pro waking from sleep
- Small size - also a con, took a while for me to adjust to it. ( Medium size hands )
- No back button ( Minor con )Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).

This mouse fits the hand well and moves smooth and accurately on just about any surface including my bare hairy leg. The tilt wheel and zoom are more usefull then I had expected. This mouse is perfect for my Asus Eee 1000h. The Eee has no removable disk drive so I simply copied the included cd to a USB flash drive using another pc with a drive and ran the setup off the flash drive. Setup was simple. I almost got the MS 5000 but saw some neg reviews so I went with this one. I'm real happy with this mouse.Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).

Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue) Right now
I have a long history with Logitech products, and the mouse I reverted to after returning the V470 is a Logitech mouse (and I have a whole new appreciation for it).
Here's my experience with the V470:
- The installer took a LONG time (it's a mouse....what's taking so long? A new bluetooth stack?). Logitech product install is usually much faster.
- The installer failed to find the mouse twice, then succeeded on the third attempt. When it finally did acquire the mouse the connection stayed solid.
- The response is terrible and annoying. The mouse sleeps after about two seconds. If you move your hand off the mouse to do something quick (like press ENTER), that's long enough for it to sleep. When you move it after two seconds the cursor jumps around for a second or so before it completely wakes up (this is a common complaint with the V470 if you Google around a bit). For the few hours I used it I would regularly click the wrong link on a web page or start the wrong application in the start menu because of this jumpiness.
- Even when the mouse is awake it feels VERY rough and inaccurate. Selecting text is annoying enough that you notice it every single time. I don't think I could get used to it.
- The decision to return it was locked when I plugged in my old mouse and it was *SO* liquid smooth and totally responsive. If you gently push the V470 across your mouse pad, the cursor's movement is very rough and stuttery. My old mouse (just a Cordless Optical) behaves totally smoothly under very fast or very slow movement.
I had purchased the V470 because I didn't want to deal with the Cordless Optical's dongle, but after this experience I'll be sticking with the old mouse. I don't know if this is a V470 issue or a Bluetooth mouse issue in general, but this was a HUGE disappointment.Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).
Lowest Price Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue)
I was toting along a Apple Might Mouse for work and away from my desk mouse "needs".
Well scratch that. At first I tried the Razor Pro|Click bluetooth mouse. One thing that annoyed me to know end on that mouse was the fact that even waking from sleep, or coming out of the screen saver mode no matter how long I would wait, or move the mouse the bluetooth connection would never "reconnect" I would have to go into System Preferences and force the connection. Something I really didn't want to do all the time.
When I would first open my MacBook Pro after a long time I would have to delete the mouse and then re- add it.
So this mouse is a replacement for two mice.
This mouse feels good in my hands and I think I have larger than average hands. The configurability of this mouse puts the Razor Pro|Click to shame. Logitech including everything, batteries, DVD/CD with the drivers, travel bag, manual. The software loads a system preference where all the mouse buttons/wheels can be set to your liking.
It tracks well and much more smoothly than the Pro|Click.
I highly recommend this mouse and I will probably order a second one for the home computer. Get more detail about Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue).
Low Price Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue)
This is the second bluetooth mouse that I've tried (the other being the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 Mac/Win) as a full-time mouse companion for my Apple BT keyboard. To its credit, the mouse maintains a connection better than the MSFT mouse (i.e. it reconnects at all), though as mentioned by other reviewers, it's definitely more sluggish to respond from sleep (and quicker to go to sleep) than the Apple counterparts. That said, the ergonomics are only slightly better than Apple's mice and my hands get cramped if I use it for more than a couple of hours in a row (i.e. heavy photo editing or similar).
Pros: bluetooth, portable, works, even comes with a bag.
Cons: Logitech software kills Growl - a known issue on their end which they have no intention of fixing. So you have to choose between growl working, or being able to customize the buttons/wheel (though OSX seems to do a decent enough of a job of this on its own - there are no fancy side buttons). As another reviewer mentioned, the black stuff on the side is coming off, which just feels unsettling, even if it is just cosmetic.
So overall? I'm still using it, though I can't say that I'm necessarily "happy" with it. It beats the competition, though that's an extremely low bar with few contenders. Maybe in a few years...
