Logitech 931566-0403 Review by Grey W. Satterfield Jr. (Oklahoma City, OK United States)
The Logitech V270 has turned out to be the perfect mouse solution for me to use with the Bluetooth receiver built in to my Mac 17" PowerBook G4. I installed the V270 with Apple's Bluetooth software in less that two minutes and it has worked perfectly for me for two days of heavy computer use. If it goes to sleep from non-use, a flick of the wrist will instantly awaken it and off I go. I love it.
I have been looking for a reliable Bluetooth mouse to use with my PowerBook for well over two years. I bought a Bluetake Bluetooth mouse in February of 2004 but had to return it. Even after Apple's spport people helped me download the latest and greatest Bluetooth software, the Bluetake mouse would go into sleep mode and then would not work again until it was reinstalled -- not good. For reasons that are obvious I returned the Bluetake, for which I had paid nearly $70 for credit.
I did not buy another Bluetooth mouse until I decided to give the V270 a try. The online reviews of every other Bluetooth mouse were far too negative for me to be willing to take a chance on. But then I found the V270, for less than $40, and saw many enthusiastic reviews written by other Apple laptop owners whose machines include a built in Bluetooth receiver. I agree with them and then some. I could not have asked for more from this mouse. Highly recommended!
Logitech 931566-0403 Review by Shawn Graves "Professional Geek"
I would like to start off this review by pointing out the purpose of this mouse. It is designed to be a cost effective solution for a transeiver-less [meaning no silly USB devices to plug in to use the mouse] optical bluetooth mouse. As with any bluetooth device, there may be an issue in communication with some bluetooth devices. The best way to fix this is to talk with the manufacturer of the notebook or transceiver and see about an update in software, firmware, or hardware.
The first thing you will more than likely notice when holding this mouse is the way it fits your hand. It's not obsurdly small like some other notebook mice and it is no where near big. I've read where some reviews think the mouse is "too tall" to fit in their notebook cases. I personally find that may be true for the Mac notebook solutions but most other notebooks it will not be an issue. I own a Sony VAIO SZ-280P and the mouse is of the same thickness. It's designed to be confortable, so this means you need something to hold onto which it delivers that beautifully.
The setup on my notebook [which actually uses a Toshiba Bluetooth module] was fast and easy. Once it was setup with the bluetooth manager [which took all of 2 minutes] I can now turn on and off the mouse at any point and the notebook will detect it automatically within about 4-5 seconds [this may vary due to the notebook's refresh rate (how often the computer looks for devices)of the bluetooth manager]. Some reviews have noted that the mouse sometimes needs a second to respond. This second delay is the mouse 'waking up' from a soft sleep. Which nullfies the comment from another review stating that this device needs an 'auto off' function. It has a soft sleep mode which allows it to conserve power, the Red LED stays on so that it can see if you are trying to use the mouse and then 'wake' it back up. This results in an always ready to use state, but incorperates an extremely energy efficient sleep mode that allows you to forget to turn this mouse off for days without killing the battery. I myself have left it on for days in my notebook bag and still have PLENTY of battery life. I have had this device for about 5 months and am still using the batteries that came in the device. I use the mouse maybe 2-3 hours in a normal day with many peaks of 5-8 hours. The great thing that goes unmentioned, if you find yourself with dead batteries and only one spare AA battery left, it will function with just ONE of the two AA Batteries in the mouse. I found this extremely smart for those JUST IN CASE situations when you don't have two batteries to complete the circuit.
The mouse use is also very pleasent. I love the weight of the mouse myself [different for each person], as well as the sensativity, and overall functionality [yes forward and back buttons would be nice, but you can always switch to keyboard shortcuts]. I've not had the issue of the battery cover coming off at all except for a really bad fall or two. Never in use or storage.
This mouse overall is GREAT. It's light, sturdy [I've dropped it several times], and efficient.
Recommended? - YES [HIGHLY]
Logitech 931566-0403 Review by G. Sprouse (Long Island NY)
I had read about bluetooth mice that have a delay or shut off when not being used, and I have been very pleasantly surprised with the immedidate-on response and precise control of this little mouse. The wheel is smooth and precise also. I wanted a mouse that was portable, but not too small or large. I think that Logitech hit it just right for me, being large enough for my big hands, but not too large to be difficult to carry. It comes with a nice zippered sleeve, and with an ON-OFF switch, so that you know it is off when you are carrying it. I haven't had it long enough to know about battery life, but I don't anticipate any problems. Installation on my Thinkpad X24 with the Ultraport Bluetooth device took about an hour, but the problem was not with the Mouse, but with the Ultraport device that in my opinion is not well supported.
