Logitech V470 Notebook Mouse

Logitech V470 Notebook Mouse

Aniket Kadam, Jul 02, 2008 1541 hrs IST

One of the better-looking Bluetooth mice, but let's see if its performance is at par.

Good looks, precision infrared laser, generic Bluetooth device compatibility.

No Bluetooth dongle, weight.



Performance



The mouse uses a precision infrared laser that the company claims to "deliver smoother cursor control on virtually any surface," which is quite true. It worked well enough when tried it on a bed and even my jeans. However, just stick to the mouse pad when you're gaming.
The mouse is oversensitive until you install the Setpoint software from Logitech's site though I suppose that is not necessarily a bad thing.

I fired up Portal, which isn't exactly at the level of first person shooter (FPS) demanding responsiveness but having completed the game on this mouse I can say that it was way more accurate and responsive than the usual mouse. It is especially useful when rapidly turning around to place another portal. I got similar results on FPS but there are gaming mice out there that do better.

Verdict

The mouse is slightly heavy because of the two batteries. However, as a notebook mouse it scores because of its ability to give reasonable performance on almost any surface, and excellent accuracy on a mouse pad. The travel pouch is a nice addition for a mouse that's meant to be used on the move. At a price of Rs 2, 695 and a 3-year warranty, this is a travel mouse that's worth it. Just be sure that your laptop has Bluetooth built in, which most do, or you're going to be sorely disappointed by the lack of a Bluetooth adapter.

Test unit sourced from Pink and White Consulting.

This review would have been just great if there was some indication whether this mouse was available in India and if yes where.
