Review: Logitech V550 Nano mouse

Logitech's new mouse is aimed at notebook users and aims to help overcome the problems that many notebook owners have with using the built-in trackpads, which can be small and fiddly.

Designed to be used in either hand, the Logitech V550 Nano mouse uses laser technology for enhanced pointer precision and has a unique means of transportation. After attaching a small self-adhesive clip to the notebook's lid, the mouse can be clipped into place so it does not have to be carried separately.

When docked, the wireless mouse is automatically switched off to preserve battery life and is held securely in place. Being wireless, a USB receiver is required, and the one supplied is tiny. Barely protruding from the USB port, it can be left plugged in at all times, reducing the risk of loss.

The mouse itself is an excellent size and weight, and the buttons feel good to use. The scroll wheel moves very freely and allows for quick and easy navigation of long documents.

Although the price may seem high for what is just a mouse, it is money well spent.
