I use this mouse with my new laptop. I currently own three other wireless Logitech USB mice; I find that the bluetooth works flawlessly. It was recognized instantly in Win 7. The Setpoint software that comes with it isn't absolutely necessary, but does afford you additional flexibility in terms of how the buttons are assigned. My only wish was that it were somewhat larger: I use LX7s on two machines and that model is slightly longer, which I suppose I'm just used to. But considering that this is intended as a laptop model, the slightly smaller size makes sense. Also worth noting is that the build is considerably better than other "notebook" or laptop mice, which tend to be very light in weight, but on the cheesy side. This one has a bit more weight and seems more substantial than others I've seen or used, including the Logitechs sold by some computer manufacturers.

Works great when I can get my laptop to recognize it.
Connection will drop unexpectedly. When it does drop, I have to restart my laptop, use the Logitech util to find my mouse again.
De-bugging info:
No interference from other blue tooth devices.
Not related to battery strength.
It is nowhere near the plug and forget functionality of my USB wireless mice.

Comments about Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Computers (Blue):
The Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse works *great* in an office environment. I program by day, so you can see that I use my PC all day long. As mentioned in other reviews, it lags a bit. This is *not noticeable* unless you are playing games (which I do not). The mouse does what it should. The only reason that I ding this thing one star is that I have other mice that fit my hand a little better - I was hoping for a man-sized mouse. This is really just a *large* notebook mouse. It IS physically larger than the Microsoft bluetooth 5000 mouse -- that mouse is too small for my taste. I have not burned through the first set of batteries (included!) after 9 days, so do not know how long they last. I turn my mouse off at night.

The idea of not taking up any additional USB ports was the thing that drew me to buy this mouse. However, the connection was finicky. The mouse wouldn't connect without first adding a new Bluetooth device...everytime. I'll stick with the tried and true RF mice for a bit longer.

Comments about Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Computers (Blue):
This is a good general use mouse which feels nice in my hand. It looks great too, what a shame that it is absolutely unbearable for gaming! If I move the mouse too quickly the pointer freaks out and ends up in a random place on the screen. If I'm playing a game and try to spin around quickly or aim at someone too fast I will end up facing some random direction and getting killed. The only way to use this mouse is to move it slowly and be gentle with it. Definitely not recommended for anyone who jerks it around, otherwise, nice mouse. I ended up RMA'ing it for an MX Anywhere which hopefully won't have the same issue.

Really nice. I had a microsoft 5000 notebook mouse and it really was hard to use. Too jerky for me. The logitech mouse is much smoother. It had a few instances of being jerky but it was easy to adjust the scrolling and speed and it smoothed right out. Great product

I've been using this mouse to replace the tracking pad on my laptop.
It is great, takes just a couple seconds to connect and works perfectly every time. It's also tiny, but still ergonomic.
Can't complain so far.

I am not happy with this product. I installed it using the CD provided. A week later it dropped the connection to my new laptop and wants to re-install itself over and over again. I downloaded a new driver and it did not help. An IT pro will be here tomorrow and I will let him work on it. I do not consider it reliable enough to take on a trip until it provees itself.

Comments about Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Computers (Blue):
Battery life is decent - runs for weeks from 2 AA NiMh cells
As a presenter, the long reach (30+ feet) is appreciated
Good size; not too small for my size 12 hands yet takes little space in the laptop bag.
Decent software from Logitech
Programmable tilt on scroll wheel is great for L-R scroll in large spreadsheets.
On-Off switch helps to maximise the battery life.
I even like the colour.
Does not work worth a darn on glass, but that's not too hard to avoid.

I prefer using this over my Magic Mouse. The V470 has a right click and a scroll wheel that moves side to side as well. I use it with Pro Tools 9 and have no issues whatsoever. I also like the feel of it--very substantial. Nice functional and ergonomic design. Highly recommended.

I have two of them -one for each of my laptops. With the bluetooth, it frees up a USB port and there is one less connector to loose.

Comments about Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Computers (Blue):
Coming from other wireless mice, this is a solid device, but there are a couple things to get used to.
It is great to be free of a separate receiver that takes up a USB port and can possibly be damaged. However, turning off this mouse using the power button will inadvertently disconnect the mouse from your computer (at least this has been the case with mine). When this happens, you will need to remove the device from your computer and start the discovery process over. Kind of annoying, so we'll see how often I have to do this. If it gets too cumbersome, I may switch back to a traditional wireless mouse with receiver.
I have also noticed a delay sometimes in the cursor moving on the screen when I move the mouse. It has not happened often and so far is not a problem, but just seems to be a occasional quirk with using Bluetooth.
Have not had it long enough to comment on battery life.

Comments about Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Computers (Blue):
I find this mouse is perfect for me. As an adult female, it's just the right size to fit comfortably in my hand. It responds quickly too. I had a couple of times when it didn't respond after my laptop was in hibernation but usually I just hit the connect button (on the mouse) and it reconnected. That was when I first got it, but had it a few months now and don't have problems anymore. Works on almost any surface.

Not a sufficient replacement for a non-Bluetooth mouse (excluding Apple's Bluetooth mouse). Too much lag time between moving the actual mouse and the cursor moving on the screen.

Use this with a 2010 MacBook Pro. I like how small it is for carrying, but still big enough to be reasonably comfortable to use with my large hands. BlueTooth connectivity means no RF USB antenna nubbie to lose or break off, and it keeps me from having to give up a USB port for a mouse.
