Though this is not as comfortable as the Logitech V220 model (or higher), this is a good mouse. Unlike the V220 (and higher) series mice, this one lacks a 'rubberized' and contoured feel that may appeal to people who would use a mouse for extended periods or require a more tactile feedback and weight of the mouse. Additionally, the USB transmitter is quite large, about the size of a wide USB flash drive, and may be inconvenient as it may block closely-spaced USB ports on a laptop. As it is, though, this mouse is highly sensitive and of good quality and tracks as well as any mouse I have ever owned. If the size of the USB transmitter and the tactile-feel of the mouse is not an issue, this is a good budget alternative to the higher-end Logitech wireless mice. I'm a big aficionado of "quiet" mice. The scroll-wheel is nearly silent, which is nice. The buttons are a bit loud and clacky - a feature which could be improved with any computer mouse, in my opinion. This mouse is seamlessly Macintosh compatible, as long as you download and install the Logitech Control Center. From there, you can customize the mouse settings to your liking. The Logitech 'left and right' scrolling is ingenious, and is a much better design than the Apple Mighty Mouse. It is much easier to use and learn, and having the 2-button design of the Logitech Mini Optical Mouse is certainly and advantage over the Apple Mighty Mouse.

I bought this mouse about a year ago and i love it. It's wireless and doesn't use that pesky ball to move around but instead uses a laser to move. I have just lost my receiver for this mouse and i am planning on buying the same mouse because of its size and how smoothly it moves across the surface. With a mouse that uses a ball, it tends to get stuck on the mouse pad and can interrupt your flow of working or PC gaming. The only down side to this mouse it the receiver. It can be very easy to lose and it's expensive to replace, almost as much as buying both the mouse and receiver all over again. It it not recommended for traveling because when traveling you can forget to reattach the receiver to the mouse. You may also lose it if the receiver falls out if you are constantly moving the laptop. Overall this is a great mouse but you have to be careful of the receiver getting lost.
